Summary
An item from the Gems’ past is discovered inside of Lion’s mane.
Our Take
This one goes bigger than usual, giving a fan-favorite character a proper introduction with a double runtime and some genuinely heavy ideas about war and morality. The emotional payoff mostly lands, though the middle stretch sags a bit under all the exposition. It’s a solid hour with real stakes, even if the ending wraps things up a little too neatly. Worth watching, but not the season’s best.
