Wow. Rick's uncle is an unnecessary hostile asshole. Rick vents to himself that he is sick and tired of all the troubles for the rest of his life, stumbling upon a horrid-looking CGI Grundy. Oh my god. For Eight episodes now, Beth is still trying to communicate with the Goggles, and it's getting annoying. The A. I. seemingly has forgotten his memories with Beth. The A. I. would instantly turn off; failure. Grundy sits near Rick "listening" to his life story, meanwhile eating apples. He gives Rick an apple for kindness. Courtney puts the Wildcat costume away in the basement. The Cosmic Staff is still healing from its major injuries.
Beth's parents come in and talk about their main reason for Divorce where they couldn't even love each other because of her. Beth has a freak out seeing worms on her sandwich and running away. Rick hears the radio that the Blue Valley Hunter association is hunting for a "bear". Courtney arrives at the Pit Stop informing Pat that the Staff is taking too long to heal, and the team should focus on Eclipso. Pat gets a phone call from Rick that "Grundy is going to need our help." The two arrive in the Forest. Beth enters the Dugan House only to encounter a small child. Bruce taunts Beth about stealing. Oooh, I love this! Beth comes upstairs to Courtney's bedroom opening the Closet door to find nobody. Beth finds out that Bruce is Eclipso. Man, "no one chose you because your kind is no fighter.". Eclipso is racist and sexist? Pat was right. Eclipso is fricked up.
Rick encounters two hunters trying to find their missing daughter. Something about Eclipso taking the form of a young boy makes this unsettling. Rick hears gunshots, running to the source only to find Grundy drowning a young girl. Pat and Courtney discover the dead body, but it is revealed to be Eclipso playing with them. Rick fights back with the giant monster as the fireworks appear. Oh my got, jumpscare. Eclipso finally appears, taunting more of Beth.
Courtney uses Cosmo against Rick. Holy mother- so all this time, he was beating up his Uncle. This is genuine horror. Rick smashes the Hourglass against the ground. Beth uses her goggles, finally waking up. Eventually, Rick is arrested. Not the happiest Fourth of July after all. The A. I. tells Beth that she is now the new Doctor Mid-Nite and the goggles are Eclipso proof. So. All of that Divorce confession stuff didn't happen, and the Hunter encounter was only a hallucination.
Thoughts?
I do somewhat agree that the "Race" stuff was straight out of nowhere, but I feel that it makes Eclipso more threatening. Although, "I love being bl*ck." felt too far, and the episode had pacing issues. I wouldn't be surprised if Season 2 was filmed during the 2020 protests. One can hope that Beth's character development will grow on.
8/10.
