The Dragon Prince - Love, War & Mushrooms

“Love, War & Mushrooms” offers two stories. The new quest involving Soren (Jesse Inocalla), Corvus (Omari Newton), and Azymondias to find the missing Zubeia unexpectedly ends after a single episode when the group encounter magic mushrooms who have shrunk the dragon down to size and are working to heal her. The story offers chances for Soren to be goofy and for Azymondias to learn his mother is safe. The other plot checks in on Lux Aurea and Janai (Rena Anakwe) still reeling from the betrayal of her brother lashing out at everyone including Amaya until she chooses to focus on the future of her people and not past mistakes.

Batman: Caped Crusader - Night of the Hunters

Following the events of the previous episode, Batman (Hamish Linklater) is now public enemy number one with Montoya (Michelle C. Bonilla) being put in charge of a new task force to take down the vigilante. She brings in Harleen Quinzel (Jamie Chung) for her take on Batman as well as stages fake muggings to bring him out of the shadows. When those fail, Flass (Gary Anthony Williams) and Bullock (John DiMaggio) decide on a more dangerous tactic that earns the ire of Gordon (Eric Morgan Stuart) but skewed public perception puts the crooked cops in charge of capturing Batman from this point on.

Exploding Kittens - Shane & Chugger's

Devilcat (Sasheer Zamata) makes a new friend in the constantly complaining Karen while Godcat (Tom Ellis) attempts to help Abbie (Suzy Nakamura) and Marv (Mark Proksch) throw Travis (Kenny Yates) a half-birthday wild enough to convince a pair of cherubs he’s ready to return to Heaven. Swinging at some pretty low-hanging fruit, but still managing some laughs, the episode goes hard at Karen, who the family basically frame for the death of the cherub’s unicorn, and also at the Dave & Buster’s style restaurant which Travis is obsessed with. Despite his hatred of the place, even Godcat finds a way to have some fun getting lost in whackamole which triggers both his cat-reflexes and his need to vent some aggression.

Hit-Monkey - The Rope

In an episode that features Bryce (Jason Sudeikis) and Hit-Monkey taking down a giant, who has grabbed the crazed Haruka (Ally Maki), by exploding from its head, “The Rope” provides some backstory for the mystical weapons such as the sword their friend is wielding along with a backstory for the Alderman and an introduction to the Assassins Cooperative who invite Monkey to join their cause. Quite a mix of exposition and action, “The Rope” also includes another deal between Bryce and the Devil which provides him with temporary use of a physical body on Earth (the cost of which will eventually come due).

Delicious in Dungeon - Egg/The Golden Country

As the other party reaches the surface and discovers the dungeon may soon be in danger from elves who have arrived (which also provides some backstory for Kabru), a ghost leads our party to a new part of the dungeon which reveals Laios‘ (Damien C. Haas) destiny. Because we don’t have monster attacks here, and the characters spend most of the time in this new community cursed with immortality deep in a peaceful pocket of the dungeon, the only dinner of note is the Eggs Benedict they eat prior to allowing the ghost to pull them into this new realm. However, there are plenty of docile monsters in the town for Laios and the others to nerd over. The episode feels very much like a transitionary one, pushing characters on to the paths for the final episodes of the season and setting up a new danger to the dungeon from the elves.
