S6E3: Faking Miracles

Blue Morpho...father of The Monarch? And if he and Jonas became eventual buds, then there is some hope for Rusty and The Monarch. Love and hate and coins and all that.

"I wanna stay here and play with my new cave!" Classic Monarch, all about the new toys and lack of long term planning.

A few standard tech demos later and we got ourselves a plot. Some goop was released and found its way to Dean. A little odd a choice, but maybe it'll lead to some ol' fashioned Venture style mayhem.

On the other side of the plot, we've got Dr. Ms. The Monarch attending Kingfin's daughter's birthday party. I haven't been given a reason to care about Wale or his daughter, so I shall continue not doing so. The daughter's voice is like nails on a chalkboard, I hope something bad happens to her.

At the very least though, their existence is permitting a fun little blending of the two sides of the story.

Brock knows spin because he works for the government, har har. I can't blame the show though, this joke is probably as old as government. At least here it is just an offhand comment by Brock that also doubles as something like life advice.

Nanites...I now fear for the safety of this world. Literally a grey goo scenario being treated with the seriousness of a scooby-doo mystery.

The 'it is a game, but actually happening irl' is also a pretty worn out gag, but still executed well here. Dean speaking in the just mentioned Babylonian is a masterful touch.

Aaand here we get the misunderstanding cliche. I hate this thing with a passion. The Monarch could just open with 'Honey, I was tranq'd when selecting a suit, I'm sorry I didn't make it!" and he would have the injury to prove it. But nope, we've got a damaged marriage and a win for the Copycat.

Superscience car gag falls flat too...it would not be there for Hank to conveniently get in, it would be somewhere crashed on the ground floor where it was left, unless Hank had a way to call it, but even then there would still be many other issues in the way like gravity and stuff.

Post credits, sneaky Rusty makes Dean think the nanites are being pissed away and not in his brain doing who-knows-what to him. This probably crosses more than a few ethical lines, but maybe there will be a superscience nanite solution for that too. Everything is possible with superscience. Except making Hank look cool.
