After last week’s near-plotless episode, I can’t tell you how happy I am that Shark finally got his car started. This week, 12 oz. Mouse returns to its usual form, invoking a heap of questions in the process and answering few of the ones it has already raised.
No more information is given about how Roostre knows Spider, as he mentioned two weeks ago. Instead, the guitar-strumming redneck discovers his destroyed cabin and decides to “fire up the corn-droid” to prevent further disasters.
In the meantime, Skillet repeatedly punches the gas-drained spaceship’s fuel meter in an attempt to keep it in the air. Although you’d think that would work just fine within this illogical realm, it doesn’t, and soon enough Fitz and Skillet have crashed into the top floor of a skyscraper back in the cardboard city.
There, Skillet performs surgery on Green-Sweatered Woman, transforming her into a Terminator-esque android. Elsewhere in the room, Fitz inserts the clock radio he found in Roostre’s cabin into the wall. This unlocks a closet which strangely contains every piece of clothing he has ever owned, as well as an oddly-shaped gold key.
Shark and RBM continue to draw laughs with their ongoing verbal battle in the car, while Liquor’s comedy act draws none from his twin eyeball audience. By the episode’s end one of the eyes has sprouted a gun-wielding arm, revealing the meaning of the ‘note-to-audience’ title, “Enjoy the Arm.”
As the list of things we don’t yet understand continues to grow, it will be interesting to see just how the 12 oz. Mouse team plans on wrapping this thing up, especially now that it has seven fewer episodes to do it in.
