With the help of the an unlikely ally, and Mei (Chacha Huang) as their go between, Diego is able to keep the Russians from the bidding on the land although he himself is also kept away with his introduction to the secret cult of the Bear Clan, leaving Bernardo (Paco Tous) to place the last minute winning bid.

Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur - The Great Beyond-er!

After jumping through the portal to save her friends and family, closing it after her, the Second Season of Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur opens with Lunella (Diamond White) lost in space-time only to be saved by the Beyonder (Laurence Fishburne). Introduced halfway through the show’s First Season, this version of the comic character plays an awful lot like Mister Mxyzptlk, an overpowered creature popping in to cause havoc and chaos for our heroine. This time, the Beyonder saves Moon Girl, but rather than take her straight home he instead chooses to take her to one of his favorite worlds… which unfortunately for them has seen better days since his last visit and where his powers no longer work.

Delicious in Dungeon - Snacks/Sorbet

“Snacks/Sorbet” offers a different setup starting with an entirely different group of adventurers who get taking out by the very treasure they sought. Our party comes across their corpses and, after battling the living treasure, decides to make a meal out of the it which, while that sound painful to eat, apparently, like all of Senshi‘s (SungWon Cho) dishes, tastes delicious. Later, Senshi and Laios (Damien C. Haas) use home-made holy water, made in part from the treasure, to drive off ghosts attacking the party. The ghosts passing through the concoction has the odd effect to turn it into sorbet offering a pleasant dessert.
