Adrienne, Bedelia, and Sparky crash-land in Grimmorium Swamp, home of such flesh-eating goblins, electric fish, and squirrels. Things rapidly go from bad to worse.

Meanwhile the King's latest attempt to bring out Devin's manliness instead ends up playing to his budding detective skills, and it may unlock the path to rescuing the Queen.

There were a lot of good details and creative challenges here that keep right on the edge between comedic and deadly serious. The character interplay was great, and the story veered into some fun unexpected directions, while continuing to bend and twist gender tropes at every opportunity.

Rating: 8/10
