While the first few pages do play into recent events including the training of the young Outliers and and Rogue‘s concern about maybe being too hard on Jitter, Uncanny X-Men #12 is really a standalone issue that takes advantage of this group of X-Men setting up shop in Cajun country to offer a one-off story with ties to Gambit‘s past when a note appears for the X-Man.

While it’s a family affair for Angie (Erika Christensen) and Ormewood (Jake McLaughlin) investigating a man murdered over a sandwich, Will (Ramón Rodríguez) and Faith (Iantha Richardson) look into the murder of a teenage girl who seemed to have trouble with everyone at a prestigious dance academy. The show brings back the trope of Will being haunted by Whitney McAdams (Briyana Guadalupe) who forces him to look deeper into the situation and uncover not only the truth of a murder by also exposing a stepfather gaslighting his teenage daughter.

The question that has been looming over the season is what would be the catalyst to force Matt Murdock back into the suit. “Excessive Force” answers that question by bringing the underdeveloped villain Muse out of the background and into the forefront. Killing victims and using their blood in the murals that have popped up around New York City, the threat is very real and has gone unnoticed for weeks, and becomes even more personal when he takes Angela (Camila Rodriguez) as his latest inspiration.

In what is the obligatory standalone crossover episode, “With Interest” continues themes of Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox) struggling with his need to put his skills outside of the courtroom to use. In this episode this involves Hell Kitchen’s most famous blind lawyer walking into a bank during a robbery and finding ways to keep everyone safe, prevent the theft of a rare jewel from a safe deposit box, and dole out a little punishment. The episode works in a vacuum with the various other storylines put on hold for this single adventure which, in part, is also used to introduce Matt to the bank’s assistant manager Yusuf Khan (Mohan Kapur) who happens to have a hero in the family.

“Suddenly Alec” is a fun episode of The Irrational that allows the show to play on the musical theatre backgrounds of both Jesse L. Martin and Karen David when Alec and Rose go undercover working for a community theatre company looking for a killer. We’d seen the show make use of David’s musical chops in a previous episode, but “Suddenly Alec” pushes the professor under the spotlight stepping in for the murder victim to provide the voice of Aubrey II in a production of Little Shop of Horrors. While the professor gets a bit too good to fast for someone with no experience (why not give him a bit of background like the show has done for Rose) it is quite fun to see Alec play the murderous plant while also using the play to solve a murder and a separate case for a client which Rose was hired for.
