Episode Summary & Review

Summary

Rock links up with Delores in Actual Mexico City, but Delores delivers a cryptic warning. The musician eventually heads back to LA to try and get a lead on Stymagian, and has chocolate banana cake with the police.

Our Take

The Mexico City stretch gives this episode some nice visual flavor, but the cryptic warning stuff feels like stalling more than intrigue. The comedy lands in fits and starts, mostly during the police cake scene, which is dumb in the best way. A middling hour that coasts on style when the jokes run thin.
