Episode Summary & Review
Summary
When Arthur tells his mother and sister that he’s a superhero, they figure that he’s insane and stage an intervention. However, the doctor in charge may be the one who is nuts.
Our Take
This one leans hard into farce, and the results are hit and miss. The intervention premise has some solid comic momentum and the unhinged doctor gets a few real laughs, but the pacing sags in the middle stretches. It’s a serviceable mid-season episode with enough oddball energy to justify a watch, though it won’t change anyone’s mind about the show.
