Incredible episode that references previous seasons

I don't want to spoil anything about this episode, so I'll just say that if you've been watching the show intently thus far, then you're in for a payoff.

Samurai Jack is one of the best cartoon protagonists ever, and it's due to two characteristics: 1.) His moral code which includes his sense of honor and 2.) His unbreakable resolve and fighting spirit. Seriously, nothing ever deters this guy. No matter how many dead ends he runs into, he continues on his quest.

Here we see Jack become corrupted by Aku after the shape shifter coughs on him (Aku is a being of pure evil, so obviously he doesn't think to wear a mask or stay inside when he's sick). What follows is Jack attempted to purge both his body and spirit of Aku, which involves help from some friends. Samurai Jack is episodic in nature, but this episode reminds us just how far he's come and how many people he's helped.

Wonderful episode from a legendary cartoon.
