Episode Summary & Review
Summary
The Grayson household is upended when Mark returns to Earth with surprising new responsibilities. The Guardians of the Globe face dangers both at home and away.
Our Take
Mark’s return home gives this episode its emotional core, and the family scenes land harder than any of the fight sequences. The Guardians subplot moves things along nicely without feeling like filler. It’s a slower, character-first hour that pays off the season’s buildup, and the closing stretch alone justifies the wait. Worth your time, easily.
