Zoey tells us she realizes she shouldn’t have gone alone (the lesson) but little in the episode supports it. We don’t see Zoey wrestling with whether she should do it alone, she just simply goes for it. If that was supposed to be a big part of the story why not dig deeper into the reason why Zoey went by herself. Was it because she was afraid of messing things up like she did with the fossil at first? Did she not want to bother anyone? It’s not very clear and that’s what this episode needed.
By digging deeper into why Zoey felt she had to go alone would have gone a long way in helping us learn something new about Zoey, which would have given this episode more life. We do get a nice callback to the start of the series with Zoey’s desire to solve big problems but it comes so late in the story it’s ultimately pointless. As it is the A-story is simply Zoey messed up, Zoey fixes the problem, end of story. Nothing extra. It leaves the whole thing feeling like an outline that needed more detail filled in.
The B-story with Roxy was a bit more interesting, if only because it helped bring the plot forward with her (supposed) final destruction. Ravi got to take the final shot on her which was a great little touch although you wish the real Roxy or Blaze had been able to take part it in it.
With evil Roxy off the board it seems we’re approaching Beast Morphers‘ endgame. I’m interested to see how the show ends because in the past when they’ve needed to do BIG plot episodes the show has done a pretty solid job. Hopefully they can bring some of the energy from that musical sequence to the finale!
