It's The Wild, Wild Worst!
Edd, Matt and Tom are caught in the rain, and Edd suggests that they go inside a nearby museum for shelter. While Tom and Matt mess around with the exhibits inside, Edd reads the diary of Edward Gold, a detective who was tasked into rescuing Prince Matthew.

Tropes:

  • Animation Bump: The initial scene with the trio running from the rain is much more fluid than every scene afterwards. For the rest of the episode, the animation constantly changes from choppy to fluid.
  • Animesque: The art style of this episode is rather reminiscent of a comedy anime, complete with anime expressions, like sweat drops and Blue with Shock.
  • Arc Words: "Everybody needs a little something".
  • Art Shift: Although every Legacy episode has a different art style, this one is the most blatant, being the furthest from the original than the others.
  • Big, Thin, Short Trio: Edd, Matt and Tom are drawn like this, respectively.
  • Breather Episode: A regular episode which was the last released before the "The End" duology.
  • Cast of Snowflakes: Enforced. Since the artists for this episode thought the show's characters looked too similar, they made all of them look very different from each other here.
  • Eyepatch of Power: Sheriff Thompson has one, alluding to Tom's black eye sockets.
  • I Call It "Vera": Discussed and parodied. Sheriff Thompson tells Edward that he can't fire off his gun without giving it a name first and then admonishes him for giving it a man's name ("Brian"). Edward asks Sheriff Thompson what he calls his, and he responds by saying he calls it "Gun".
  • Limited Animation: This episode is notable for having much more limited and choppy animation than the others. In fact, it's literally just a colored version of the animatic.
  • Mouth Flaps: Some scenes have the characters move their mouths like this instead of lip-syncing.
  • Noodle Incident: Apparently, Sheriff Thompson wanted (and possibly tried) to nail down all the nails in Spitbucket to keep them from being stolen.
  • No Mouth: Tom is drawn without a mouth in several scenes.
  • The Noseless: While the usual art-style applies this to every character, here this trait is exclusive to Tom.
  • Small Role, Big Impact: It's revealed that Bartender Todd was the one responsible to introducing Cola to Detective Edward, who passed his love for the drink all the way into Edd in the present.
  • Stylistic Suck: The animation for the episode was deliberately made as keyframe based, meaning it has less in-betweens, making the characters often change positions abruptly.
  • What Happened to the Mouse?: In the end, Edward, Matthew, and Thomas all move to England, which is where their descendants live now, but it's not clarified what happened to Todd; either him or one of his descendants prior to Tord must have moved there as well.
