Recap / Carmen Sandiego S 4 E 03 The Robo Caper

Go To

Carmen and Ivy fight a giant robot at a science museum in Singapore. Later, a tip from Player sends the friends to Iceland.

Tropes

  • The Bad Guy Wins: V.I.L.E. both steals the crown they were after and successfully retrieve Crackle.
  • Car Fu: Ivy rams the robot with her van to try and destroy it, only for it to get back up.
  • Drama-Preserving Handicap: Shadow-san's leg is still broken, making the severed robot arm an actual challenge for him.
  • Instant Sedation: Averted. The Cleaners try to chloroform Carmen, but she manages to break free of their grip and is in perfect fighting shape (if momentarily a little woozy) even after having a chloroform-soaked rag pressed against her face for several seconds.
  • Norse by Norsewest: Iceland is depicted as an easygoing place with a very low crime rate, to the point that Crackle is the only person in the jail.
  • O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Carmen can immediately tell something's wrong when the Cleaners leave without finishing their job. Cue the robot breaking into the room.
  • Robots Are Just Better: Bellum's reasoning boils down to this.
