Did Huxley just refer to the hurricane as "Hurricane Opie"? Is that another reference to The Andy Griffith Show?
Doc previously sent Graham, Cody, and Boulder over to the Island of Misfit Tech to retrieve a replacement stabilizier for Doc's damaged one. That don't sound good at all.
The stabilizer should be in a de-barker that Doc discarded to the island after it tried to shred his lab coat with him still in it.
The three had to be sent to retrieve the stabilizer since Doc couldn't beam back just the stabilizer by itself. All that came back was the retrieval tag, which much have fallen off. Graham notices that several tags had fallen off, but they've no time to look into that right now since they need to get back.
Vigil was aware of the three visitors being nearby and transferred its energy into the stabilizer.
Full theme song.
One of the lab's satellite dishes collapsed onto the lab's roof.
The dome is activated. Griffin Rock is now protected, and the atmosphere generator will provide them with clean air at 70 degrees.
Frankie's remote control rocket is out of control.
Ever the humble man, Mayor Luskey has christened the dome as the "Mayor Luskey Dome" (sidenote, does he even have a first name besides "Mayor"?) and has accepted full credit for its success.
Vigil's now transferred his energy from the stabilizer into the control panel's console. Is he some sort of energy ghost now?
Doc tries to retract the dome until the next time it's needed, but Vigil takes control and denies Doc his access to the controls.
During his exile, Vigil learned how to transfer his programming into other devices, and is the one responsible for all of the retrieval tags falling off. But, how did he learn to do that? Is such a thing even possible for manmade, non-supernatural tech?
Vigil claims to have corrected the error in his programming that Cody had pointed out to him last time, but Vigil won't retract the dome since it increases the island's protection by 82%. He's also resynthesized the air molecules produced by the atmosphere generator into a sleeping vapor.
Doc, Chief, and Dani all succumb to the sleeping vapor, while the others manage to make it inside the Bots in time.
Wait, Blades says that he breathes air. What?
Vigil has jumped into the little cement mixing bot and shielded the console with cement.
"Power Up and Energize!" - Boulder's using a jackhammer that kinda looks like the one that comes with Bumblebee's Energize mini-figure.
Everyone in town is asleep. Though, the Mayor is sleep-eating ice cream.
Frankie has given code names to Blades ("Sky Hawk") and Chase ("Blue Ninja").
Vigil keeps jumping around since he can only control one device at a time.
Vigil's in the Robo-Baby from season 1.
Did Kade say that they'd cut Vigil off at Lake "Streak"?
Boulder got through the cement, but the whole system overheated when it was covered.
Doc's secret password is "
Doc".
Vigil has one more task to complete before Griffin Rock can be deemed "permanently safe", and transfers into a garbage truck bot to get away.
Vigil seems unable to jump between devices that are far apart from each other, as he only seems to jump when he's close enough to another device. And he's heading somewhere specific in the east.
Wait, the lab that the dome was activated from isn't Doc's lab, but some other facility. Doc's lab is where Vigil seems to be heading, as Graham states that the dome has another set of controls there.
Frankie spots Vigil in a construction site at Pynch Square, where he's jumped into a brick device that shoots Blades down.
Vigil's now in a motorcycle, heading west. Boulder and Graham will head him off by cutting through Sloan Field.
In the scrapyard, Vigil uses a Scrapmaster to bury Heatwave and Boulder under a mountain of old cars.
Frankie has Dither seal all entrances to the lab.
Vigil's possessed Dither, and blasts Chase and Blades with a Collision Foam Cannon.
Heh, Blades complains about the ubiquity of the foam cannons.
Cody grabbed Frankie's rocket, but had to sacrifice himself to the sleeping gas to do so.
Frankie likewise sacrificed her consciousness to trick Vigil into entering her rocket, which she sent flying out of the lab (but, shouldn't Vigil have taken control upon entering it?).
The rocket crashed in the EMP zone at Griffin Crest. That's a LONG ways away reach in a very short time. Still, is seems to have killed Vigil. The first onscreen death in this show, even if it was for an artificial intelligence.
And at last, Blades has Dither retract the dome.
Everyone's awakened, Mr. Harrison's about to puke, the Mayor's covered in food, and Heatwave and Boulder finally find the strength to free themselves from the car pile.
Well, that was a quick ending.
This episode was non-nutritional, non-educational, and a complete waste of time for anyone looking to learn something academic or moralistic. And that's just the way we like it! This was a Saturday morning cartoon, plain and simple. A good old-fashioned suspense thriller with action and conflict short of throwing a full on malevolent villain into the mix. One big chase scene involving relatively high stakes. Vigil proves once more how competent he is in his extremism and single-mindedness, even if he does so in a manner that borderlines on the suspension of disbelief. I mean, really, how did he gain that energy ghost ability? Still, though, twas good.
