Hm, kind of a mixed bag. The "Mikey saves Donnie" moments are feeling uncomfortably recycled and rehashed by now, like a running gag that has worn out its welcome. And it felt like April (the real April, not the hologram) was completely incidental to this episode's plot, like they almost didn't need her at all. And the way Karai was freed from the worm still managed to end as a cliffhanger, because we don't have any idea what will happen with her next. But the tension of the earlier scenes&mdash;with all the bickering and acrimony and a hint of angst&mdash;reminded me of the things I liked about episodes in the first two seasons. Halfway through the episode, I was thinking, "wow, this was a good episode". But after that, the second half ended up not being nearly as good as what I'd seen thus far. Honestly, this series' well-written, well-executed moments are too fleeting and flash-in-the-pan.

Also, Ice Cream Kitty did turn out to be sentient. I didn't see that one coming.
