Description
1. Super Deany

Writer: Brian Hohlfeld

Director: Carin Anne Anderson

Date: April 17, 2020

Synopsis: "Deany gets the rocket pack."

With a title like that, you expect something pretty surreal. Well, there's a bit more. This episode has Kit's rocket pack malfunctioning and flying off on its own. While she and Tesh go to get it back, it lands in front of Orsino and Deany. When Deany tries on the rocket pack, he likes the attention it brings him, and he goes off to help others. So, this episode is essentially a "throw the bad guys a bone" episode, with a moral on how you shouldn't be afraid to show that you care. The dynamic that Orsino and Deany helps sell this. At the start of the episode, he wants to show off a card trick, which Orsino dismisses. Once he gets the rocket pack, he sees this as an opportunity to make himself known. You can definitely feel for him given how he's often pushed around by Orsino, and isn't exactly evil. Orsino himself also has some likability given that, for as often as he pushes around Deany, he cares for him. Plus, Deany doesn't exactly want to leave Orsino given how he's quick to listen to The Rocketeer when she mentions the malfunction. He then goes back to Orsino, says he cares, and lets him do the trick. It's certainly an interesting episode.

2. Dr. Doodlebug's Fair Game

Writers: Kendall Michelle Haney, Brian Hohlfeld, Claudia Silver

Director: Monica Tomova

Date: April 17, 2020

Synopsis: "Dr. Doodlebug wants a toy from the fair."

Three writers helps produce an unexpected kind of good episode. Let's talk about it. This episode involves an art show at the fair. Kit enters with a painting while Tesh enters a skate ramp model. At the fair, Roland goes all Dr. Doodlebug to get a special stuffed toy at the fair. So we have another "throw the villain a bone" episode, this time with Roland and Newton (his watch). There's a simple message where you don't act petty when getting what you want. It works well with this dynamic. Roland himself is known for acting rather petty due to his over the top contraptions to get what he wants. Even with how often he doesn't treat Newton the best, he does care for him. It's best shown in the second half, where Newton almost gets sucked up by his giant hippo vacuum cleaner that goes out of control. When it's stopped, he chooses to get Newton and not the toy. That's probably the first selfless act he did, which is nice. Yeah, he runs off without consequences, though at least the fair goes on as planned. It's pretty good.
