• IMDb: link / link

The two-part First Season finale centers around Chinese New Year. While “Part 1” teases magical creatures being kidnapped around the city, ending with the abduction of Everest, the first-half of the story is more about the various characters perusing their own interests. Yi (Chloe Bennet) obsesses with an upcoming musical performance and Jin (Tenzing Norgay Trainor) is distracted by a minor role in the parade. With no one else to join them, and believing the festival will hide the look of yeti, Peng (Ethan Loh) takes Everest on an eating tour through the city which eventually leads to the others searching for the pair only to find them as they are taken by Nian.

• Title: Abominable and the Invisible City – A Cabbage Kinda Day
• IMDb: link

Following up one the weakest episode of the show’s First Season, “A Cabbage Kind of Day” puts the focus back on Yi (Chloe Bennet) who takes on more responsibility than she can handle in a single day including dealing with one of the babies from the previous episode found still lurking around the rooftop for Jin (Tenzing Norgay Trainor) and Peng (Ethan Loh) to look after. We also get a bit of a jealous older-brother vibe from Everest who doesn’t like the attention the baby is getting from his friends. Certainly better than “Jin’s New Look,” the episode also features some nice morals for its younger viewers touching on asking for help, jealousy, and finding balance in your life.

• Title: Abominable and the Invisible City – Jin’s New Look
• IMDb: link

The title of the episode references both the white doctor’s coat delivered to Jin‘s (Tenzing Norgay Trainor) and his new view on life after the end of the episode choosing to stay with a magical creature (whose saliva can turn thing invisible) in need rather than attend a ceremony for his pre-medical program. While there’s a nice message there, and Peng (Ethan Loh) finds a moment to stand-up to both Jin and Yi (Chloe Bennet) who both get distracted (Jin by his coat, and later being turned invisbile, and Yi from the creature not appreciating her music), “Jin’s New Look” is the weakest episode of the series so far.
