Description 1. Mightysaura

Writer: Laurie Israel

Director: Fiona Ryan

Date: March 17, 2023

Synopsis: "Pepper becomes a superhero."

It's time to go out and save the day. It's about Pepper pretending to be the hero Mightysaura so that she can help people out. The episode gives a solid message on how you don't need a suit to be a great hero. Let's break this down.

First Half:

We stsrr out on a pretty nice note as Barry is excited to show Eureka and Pepper new paintings he made. Showing your work to your friends is never a bad thing. A big tree blocks the path, so Pepper, being as nice and as strong as she is, offers to lift them up over it. We then get comments that say how strong she is. This then leads to irony. She can't lift them both up at the same time, saying she can only lift them one at a time, which she does. This shows how she has unlimited kindness to help others out, but her strength is more finite since she can't physically do everything. Anyway, Pepper and Eureka like the new cave paintings he made. We see that Pepper is particularly fond of the half girl/half dinosaur character due to how strong she is by carrying trees as of they're twigs and how she rescues a baby dino goat from a hilltop. She certainly looks invincible. Barry says how her name is Mightysaura. Pepper wants to be more like Mightysaura because of how she's strong and helpful, wanting to be strongful like her. Yes she coined that term herself. It's pretty cute. Eureka and Barry say how she's already strong and helpful, but she wants to be more of those things. Her determination to do the right thing knows no bounds. She asks Eureka to make her gear so that she can be strong like her with her strength and leaping power. Barry likes the idea of his painting come to life, and Eureka takes on the challenge.


Eureka invents springy bounce shoes that inflate everytime she bounces. Acting on adrenal, she says that she likes bouncing around and thanks Eureka for inventing these and Barry for coming up with the idea of her. Talk about being considerate. Eureka gives her a mask to complete the whole look, which definitely makes her look awesome. Pepper hears Julia asking for help to get Gertie, and she moves out while narrating in her head. Only she could do something as delightfully unusual as this. Julia says how she's stuck and doesn't know how to get her down. Everyone else gathers around to see what's going on, and she's able to jump up and get her down, which they like. Talk about a successful first mission. Of course, knowing Pepper, she wants to push herself harder. Pepper thinks she should get more powers, and Barry thinks he could paint more powers for Eureka to invent. He thinks about giving her a tail so she can shoo away mega hornets and mighty claws so she can dig very deep. Yeah that definitely plays into her rough and tough exterior and how she liked to be hands on. She initially struggles when wearing the full outfit, but she gets the hang of it.

Second Half:

And now we get our song for the episode. She sings "Feeling Super", a song about how she feels super helping people out. It's a pretty upbeat and epic song that highlights the importance of helping people out. There's a certain innocent factor in how she tries to be cool, yet acts really excited. As for her deeds, they're all pretty good. She cuts waffle fruit for Roxy, gets kites down from vines, helps baby animals get fruit from a tree, gets Gertie down again twice, helps Rollo plant some trees, and saves Bog and Clod from a stampede. They're small scale, but also personal. Everyone follows her around and cheers for her saying how she's a hero. She's certainly loving the attention a bit too much, but more from how she thinks the costume makes her a hero and not the other way around.

Ember comes by asking for help, which she accepts. She says how there's a big rock on a hill and it keeps moving when she accidentally kicks her ball at it. She says it could smash her house if it rolls away. Talk about urgent. Barry thinks she could use something strong and sticky to stop the rock when it rolls off. Eureka comes by with the Gloopinator, an invention that uses a modified version of glooze to help make it stop. That's certainly using your head. Pepper gets the big rock rolling, unaware of the other rocks rolling off. Yeah this is her flaw, where she has strength and determination to help others, but isn't always aware of potential consequences. She uses the Gloopinator to stop the big boulder from rolling. This should be good, but then the other rocks roll down the hill. Pepper tries to help, but her tail and boots get stuck on the glooze. Eureka tells her to take off the suit, and she gets out just before the rocks smashes the rest of it. Talk about avoiding a near death situation. The rocks get everywhere, blocking everyone from doing anything. Yeah this definitely went from bad to worse. Pepper thinks that she's nothing special if she doesn't have the suit, and Barry thinks he's just a kid with paints. So we have two people that are bummed out, which is effective in how sad it is. Pepper places a lot of effort in her strength being an asset to help others. If it indirectly gets people into danger, she would feel bad for it. Barry is someone who likes to inspire people with his art, yet from his perspective, he inadvertently made things worse. Eureka says how Pepper is already strong even without Mightysaura and Barry has great imagination. As someone who's all about being active in any situation, she would naturally be the first to try and cheer up people in need. With Eureka being an inventor, she thinks she can invent something to help out. Eureka says she can make tracks with bamboo (which Pepper can lift) and Barry can sketch out what they can do when they roll them off. Now that's the super duper power of teamwork. Eureka makes the tracks and they all roll the rocks so that they can get them out of the way. Talk about awesome. At least the rocks are used for a garden so that they don't go to waste. Barry makes a painting of the three of them as themselves and says how they're the Terrific Trio. Now that's a super way to end the episode.

2. A Clean Getaway

Writer: Johnny Lazebnik

Director: Fiona Ryan

Date: March 17, 2023

Synopsis: "Eureka invents a cleaning robot."

It's time to clean up your act. It's about Eureka trying to get back a cleaning robot she made. The episode gives a solid message on how you shouldn't be afraid to ask for help when you mess up. Let's break this down.

First Half:

We start with Eureka, Pepper, and Barry excited for Rocky Falls Appreciation Day. Why wouldn't they be? They love just about everything about their town. Eureka asks what Pepper and Barry are doing, and he says he's painting a mural of the whole village and she's making a stick sculpture of the volcano. That sounds pretty fitting for someone like Barry admiring natural beauty and Pepper wanting to make her own excitement. Eureka says how Ohm is doing an art show at Paleo, and she's using a robot she made to clean it up after the show is done. Of course she does. She hugs Roxy at Paleo because of how excited she is. She shows her a new invention she made, Smoppy the robot. It's a solar powered robot that cleans up any messes. That sounds convenient and environmentally friendly. That should be a good combination, but there's a problem. Smoppy goes a little too far in cleaning, such as picking up Archi's napkin while he's eating, tickling Verna's toes, and it almost gets to Ohm's sand display. Yeah this kind of trouble would not be good to show your town pride even if it's unintentional. Roxy says that Smoppy should clean when no one is around. Eureka says she can't turn it off, but she says that she can turn it on its side so it can't move around. At least this shows her flexibility and willingness to take responsibility.

She puts Smoppy on its side, but then KB puts it back up. Since he didn't know what it was and he likes anything shiny, this is just an honest mistake. Unfortunately, things get worse from here. Pepper is making her stick sculpture and Barry is making his painting, and Smoppy cleans them up. All their hard work just went to waste. They tell Eureka that their projects that they worked hard on are ruined, and she feels bad for what happened to them. This would naturally be the case since they're friends and they work hard like her. She doesn't like hard work being ruined. She asks if they're mad at her, and though unhappy, they're not mad at her. This was just an honest mistake. They ask if she needs help when she goes to stop Smoppy, but she says it's her responsibility since it's her invention. She has this strong sense of stubborn determination when she says it, which is definitely interesting. In fact, she sings "Fix This Mess", a techno western style song (I think that's what it is?) about she feels its her duty to make this right. The fact that there's a strong emphasis on how she's a lone person in front of large backgrounds really shows how she feels personal responsibility to do this right. She says how the search is lonely, but she doesn't want to drag her friends into this mess since this is her responsibility. She's being considerate of their feelings yet is also scared to make them anymore disappointed in things getting worse.

Second Half:

Pepper says how it's weird that Eureka doesn't want their help. Given how she's often stubborn when showing her helpfulness, at least she's acknowledging how some tasks are too big to take on alone. She thinks that they should help find Smoppy, which Barry agrees with. Eureka sees Cypress, and he says how his dirt collection disappeared. That's certainly odd, but this isn't one's place to judge. Regardless, Eureka says she'll get the dirt back. Pepper hears a whistle and Barry sees that it's Smoppy. Bog gives Ump some waffle fruit, but it gets sucked up. Eureka sees Smoppy and tries to stop it by trying to block the sun. She makes a pathway with an arch so that it'll stop. That sounds pretty good, but she didn't make it sturdy enough. It works at first, but then KB jumps on it, causing it to collapse and Smoppy to move again. Yeah this impulse made things worse again. She then says that she has to break Smoppy since she can't stop it. She sees Smoppy by the pond and thinks they should steer it in. She uses Murphy's big size to get him to turn around and go to the pond. Now that's using what you have to your advantage. Smoppy gets it in, but it sucks up all the water since sunlight reaches underwater, and they get splashed on before going off again. Talk about things really taking a turn for the worse.

Eureka doesn't know what to do when Pepper and Barry come by. Barry says that they can help her even if she made the mess since they like helping her, and she says she likes it. The fact he said this helps show how he can be sensitive and mindful in being able to understand how people feel. That's nice. Verna and Dima come by to say how they're going to Paleo to see Ohm make a wonder sand statue. Pepper gives an idea about stopping Smoppy by making something so that if bumps into something everytime it turns. There's a certain intensity with this idea, which fits with how she has big ideas. They get to Paleo, and Eureka thinks of getting big rocks, bamboo, and leafy plants to trap it in a place it can't get out. That sounds odd, but it makes sense. Eureka makes a rock circle for it to get into, and it can't get out, and she uses an umbrella shade to guarantee it. Now that's having your bases covered. Pepper suggests putting an on and off switch so that people can control when they want to use it, to which Eureka agrees with. At least this is still energy friendly and people can control how they want to clean things. After putting on the switch, everyone checks out Ohm's sand display. He likes it and then tries to sweep it so that he can do it again. He says it takes too long though, so Eureka gives him Smoppy so that he can clean up in just a little time. At least this robot can be put to good use. I call this solid.
