  • 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.

Abominable and the Invisible City – Jin’s New Look

  • 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.

Abominable and the Invisible City – Sewer Koi and The Museum Heist

  • Title: Abominable and the Invisible City – Sewer Koi and The Museum Heist
  • IMDb: link

An earthquake announces the arrival of a new magical creature in the city, a giant flying koi living in the sewer, which leads to conflict between Yi (Chloe Bennet) and Jin (Tenzing Norgay Trainor) about the best way to proceed both in finding the creature and fixing the magic dam in the sewers that needs to be repaired. In order to repair the damn, Yi, Jin, and Peng (Ethan Loh) perform a rather unorthodox, and a bit rushed, magical museum heist while figuring out how to work together. Aside from being the first episode to follow the show’s basic formula, the episode is also notable for offering an explanation of getting around why normal people don’t notice the various magical creatures around the city (which definitely needed to be addressed).
