Hit-Monkey - Never Too Late

After wasting a good chunk of his new limited-time body on getting black-out drunk, Bryce (Jason Sudeikis) does manage to make a connection with his daughter and help the Assassins Cooperative take down another target with the help of and old friend (Jason Sudeikis) who can slow down time which provides the perfect counter to their target who can see seconds into the future and is prepared for all attacks. As you would expect, it’s a bloody episode with some wallowing from Bryce which eventually does lead to the kind of honest admission Iris (Cristin Milioti) shows interest in.

Delicious in Dungeon - Griffin/Familiars

Leaving the comfort of the Golden Country, the party sets off to find the Winged Lion who may help them in their quest. The change in scenery breaks the calming spell effecting Izutsumi (Mitsuho Kambe) as the group find themselves in a dwarven cistern deep in the dungeon. “Griffn/Familiars” is notable for several reasons including providing some backstory for the mad mage Thistle (Yû Kobayashi) and lay the stage for the tight-lipped Senshi (Hiroshi Naka) to provide information about his own past. The episode ends at the beginning of Senshi’s tale. Before we get there, the party will have to deal with a Griffin (the first creature to have Senshi running in fear) but the Familiars created by Marcille (Emily Rudd) help take down the creature. Marcille is proud of her creations, although less so once  Laios (Damien C. Haas) begins cooking them for dinner.

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.
