One month after Mr Cheng is defeated, Jentry and team are looking for her mother. They have no leads and one idea. And it’s a bad one.

The show has spent ten episodes dealing with massive problems, world shattering events and even larger, adolescence. It’s all been great but these last three look set to be great in a very different way, as Jentry takes what she’s learned and tries to do something revolutionary with it: save everyone.

This episode the search falls on her mother and there’s a great, Faustian body horror element to the visuals of it. Kenton Chen’s velvety purr as the Mogui is in full force here and we see just how insidious a force the Mogui is. With no choice but to bond with it to get her mother’s location, Jentry becomes a fantastically nasty, streamlined organic version of herself. She looks monstrous and graceful and sleek and dangerous. That danger has a neat ticking clock attached to it, as the Mogui becomes more powerful the longer it’s bonded with her.

That ticking clock is the core of the episode and gives us some fun action sequences and an important character beat as Jentry manages both sides of her life in service of each other. Most importantly, it sets up a major payoff as the Mogui possesses Ox-Head, kills Horse-Face and frames Jentry. Even as she finally gets her mother’s location. Somehow the apocalyptic resolution last week is honoured and built further upon. It’s really impressively done.

Verdict: This is constant action but it’s all in service of the plot and it’s all great fun. A gear change, but one that’s called for and welcome. 9/10
