Summary

The gang is confronted by a strange new force on a Ball Pit Car adventure.

Our Take

A rare episode where the show drops the whimsy and gets genuinely tense. The ball pit setup lulls you in before the Steward turns everything upside down, and the ending hits hard enough that you’ll want the next episode immediately. It’s a turning point hour that mostly works because it earns its darker turn instead of just springing it. Worth your time, easily.
