Although the pieces of the story feel about awkwardly stitched together, “The Cooling Off the Mark Job” offers fun moments as Hurley (Drew Powell) returns after his own con went sideways to help the team deal with their own mark (Alex Boniello) who stole $3 million from a church including $1 million the team hasn’t yet recovered. While initially there to just help Clay cool off, and recover the rest of the church’s missing funds, Hurley empathizes with Clay especially after learning what, or more specifically who, the stolen money was for.

  • wiki: link

Superman Saturday takes us back to the 1950s and a strange visitor from another planet who came to Earth with powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men. “Night of Terror” is an interesting episode of Adventures of Superman as neither Clark (George Reeves) nor Superman play much of a role until the final few minutes. While out of the city, Lois (Phyllis Coates) stumbles into a pair of criminals just after a murder. Her call for help doesn’t reach Clark or Superman, but it does reach Jim Olson (Jack Larson) who arrives at the roadside motel and is mistaken for the young assassin the syndicate has sent to take care of the women.

  • wiki: link

Driving plays a large role in “License to Bust” as  Candace‘s (Ashley Tisdale) driving test coincides with Doofenshmirtz‘s (Dan Povenmire) new invention of turning any street light green allowing him to race through traffic. Candace’s fear is lost when she sees Phineas (Vincent Martella), Ferb (David Errigo Jr.), Isabella (Alyson Stoner), Baljeet (Maulik Pancholy), and Buford (Bobby Gaylor) all bouncing wildly around town on springs and sticky gloves the pair created. Her distraction actually allows for her to perform great at her test and pass (surprising her father and the driving instructor), although once again she’s unsuccessful in getting  her parents to notice before all antics of her brothers’ recent craziness have been wiped away (thanks largely to Perry).

Ironheart – Take Me Home

  • Title: Ironheart – Take Me Home
  • wiki: link

Originally planned for a 2023 release, Dominique Thorne reprises her role of Riri Williams from Wakanda Forever who, for no real reason, left the comforts of Wakanda at the end of the movie despite it being obviously the perfect place for her to continue her education. As the series needs to break the character down, in terms of the story it wants to tell, that means we’re reintroduced to Riri as a struggling college student at MIT who, despite her intelligence and skill, relies on under-the-table deals to fix other students’ projects for the money needed to explore her own interest of recreating an Iron Man suit (which, she already accomplished in Wakanda, and also again at MIT).
