Warrior Nun - Colossians 3:9-10

As support for Adriel (William Miller) continues to rise, Ava (Alba Baptista) and Beatrice (Kristina Tonteri-Young) have their covers blown while interrogating a possessed follower of Adriel who was captured by Miguel‘s (Jack Meade) group. Beatrice isn’t happy with the situation, but the pair would be moving soon enough when the call goes out from the OCS after Camila (Olivia Delcán) and Mother Superion (Sylvia De Fanti) confirm the last outpost has fallen and meet Yasmine Amunet (Meena Rayann) who has potentially good news for the warrior nun. The reveal of Adriel possessing many of his followers will be further explored in the next few episodes.

Rick and Morty - The Jerrick Trap

Things get crazy when a bickering Rick (Ian Cardoni) and Jerry (Chris Parnell) have their minds swapped, quickly leading to the death of both and a garage computer “fix” which leaves both sharing aspects of each other’s consciousness. While the family is obviously concerned, the pair quickly adapt to their new normal with Jerry gaining a bit of Rick’s intellect and Rick gaining a bit of Jerry’s easy-going nature leading the pair to become a wacky crime duo without a care in the world. Well… without a care except for their family being kidnapped by gangsters. It’s as wacky as it sounds, and only gets more so when the pair eventually merge into one being.

Archer - Mission Out of Control Room

Lana‘s (Aisha Tyler) choice to spend money on a state-of-the-art control room to control three missions simultaneously goes, of course, horribly wrong. Archer (H. Jon Benjamin) and Cyril (Chris Parnell) have little trouble in the least-stressful of the three locations where malware needs to be uploaded simultaneously (and Archer gets lucky, even in New Jersey). Zara Khan (Natalie Dew) and Krieger (Lucky Yates) also hit it off creating an unexpected friendship. Even the bickering Pam (Amber Nash) and Ray (Adam Reed) manage to fulfill their part of the mission. And Lana learns a valuable mission about leadership… then leaves her teams without methods of escape by listening to the only other employee who stayed behind (and gave food poisoning to all the techs). Whoops! Even with all of her fancy tech, an Agency mission proves to still be an Agency mission.

The Fall of the House of Usher - Murder in the Rue Morgue

While the episode cuts from time to time back to the present, and once back to Roderick Usher’s (Bruce Greenwood) early days working for Rufus Griswold (Michael Trucco) which, honestly, I’m already out of patience for since they rarely do more than tease information they have no intention of actually providing, the majority of “Murder in the Rue Morgue” features the family coming together after Perry’s (Sauriyan Sapkota) death. We also see Arthur Pym (Mark Hamill) uncover the first clues to the involvement of our mysterious devil woman (Carla Gugino) while the show sets up two more deaths, the first of which will occur at the end of the episode in a sequence that is somehow both creepy and laugh-out-loud ridiculous when our evil woman, in chimp skins, beats the unlikable Camille (Kate Siegel) to death.

One Piece - The Man in the Straw Hat

While the main storyline features Monkey D. Luffy (Iñaki Godoy), Nami (Emily Rudd), and Zoro (Mackenyu) being taken prisoner by the clown pirate Buggy (Jeff Ward), the episode’s title comes from the flashbacks to young Luffy’s relationship with Shanks (Peter Gadiot) and the series of events which led the pirate to leave his hat with him (and provide the episode with its most notable CGI sequence). The big top pirates fit right in with the wackiness that we’ve seen and working to escape them helps bring Luffy, Nami, and Zoro closer together (although one is keeping a rather large secret from the others).
