I promise that we don't do the Cobra Commander voice in this episode, although it's tempting. This episode serves a single purpose: to put S.P.H.I.N.X. to bed so the OSI can take center stage and Gary can return to the Monarch... eventually. Meanwhile we get some unrelated hijinks from the Monarch, and Hatred finally makes a little bit of progress in getting Dean to open up.

It starts will a villain-ge, grows to an atro-city, and then a full blown abomi-nation! Rusty is called to deal with a problem with one of the weapons he sold to the army... Venturestein has decided to rebel and create a haven for all of the misbegotten science experiments out there. It's a neat premise, but does this shaky episode fulfill its promise?

A bittersweet episode about self discovery, the Venture Halloween special hits in a weird spot. It's technically supposed to be the second episode of the series, but its status as a special might make you ignore it. And that would be a mistake, because important lore stuff happens here.

Rusty's self preservation instinct takes a sudden and noticeable dive, and it's up to Dr. Orpheus to venture into his mind to find out what's up. Meanwhile, we see the Monarch is the cause of the trouble, which mostly provides us with an excuse to see Henchman 21 and Dr. Mrs. the Monarch bond over his inert, dream-projecting body.
