"Well... this isn't so bad I guess. Maybe if they finish their robbery quick enough, they can give me a ride home. I might even make it back in time for ...work."
—Molly

12-year-old Molly Blyndeff finds herself trapped overnight in the Sweet Jazz City Museum. Now she’s trying to break out on the same night that a group of thieves have decided to break in.


This episode contains examples of the following tropes:

  • As You Know: Mera gives the most barebones tour of the museum while handily explaining to the audience what an Epithet is and what it does, but even she lampshades how the info she's teaching them is "so basic, it's insulting".
  • Beware the Quiet Ones: Quite literally. Molly's Dumb epithet allows her to speak privately with Indus while the Banzai Blasters watching her are bickering, turn one of said Blasters into a brain-dead puppet long enough to knock out him and his friend, and even manages to reduce the damage Mera takes from a close-range attack.
  • Big Ball of Violence: When the schoolchildren (and Molly's dad) start fighting over the dropped artifacts.
  • Cold Opening: The episode starts on Molly waking up alone in the museum and the break-in of the Banzai Blasters, before immediately going to the Title Screen. The next eight minutes are spent showing How We Got Here.
  • Eating the Eye Candy: When Indus' shirt gets ripped from his flexing, Mera is quite appreciative.
    Mera: Well, you've got my attention.
  • Heart Is an Awesome Power: Even though Molly thinks that her Epithet isn't that big of a deal, she's shown to be quite versatile with it, managing to take down two Banzai Blasters on her own and greatly reduce the damage taken by an attack.
  • Mr. Exposition: In an effort to keep the children occupied on the museum tour, Indus tells them (and by proxy, the audience) how the Arsene Amulet works- much to Mera's chagrin.
  • Something We Forgot: Martin leaves his twelve-year-old daughter at the museum. He stops briefly at the entrance and we get this bit from him:
    Martin: Feels like I'm forgetting something... keys, wallet, phone, keys, wallet, phone. Hmm! Two phones, no wallet. Welp! That's three!
  • Who's on First?: Everytime Molly tries to tell people what her epithet is (Dumb), people instead think she's referring to it being a stupid epithet. This gets cleared up after she stupefies one of the Blasters.

Giovanni Potage

While he does have a few badass moments, Giovanni is mostly shown to be a childish, butt of many jokes, whose epithet is revealed to be...Soup.

How well does it match the trope?
