People may think Loc'd Out was good (where Hanson was sent to jail), or that Orpheus 3.3 deserved top billing. Truth is, both episodes are very good... but this is the best. Straying from the formula of "there is a problem with a teenager, the gang goes undercover to solve it," this sees Hanson, Ioki, Penhall and Judy - and even Fuller - fantasizing about themselves saving a senator who was 'nearly assassinated'. Seeing Johnny Depp become Charlie Chaplin, Holly Robinson become a spunky jazz singer, Dustin Nguyen become Bruce Lee and Peter DeLuise become James Bond could have been tacky, but works very well here. And Stephen Williams as a Western cowboy is a nice finishing touch. This gets full marks from me.
