Recap / Martin Mystery S 2 E 33 Zombie Island

Go To

Martin, Diana, and Java are sent to a Caribbean resort where people have gone missing. They find out that there is an evil undead water monster that turns his victims into zombies.

General Tropes:

  • Acting Unnatural: The first thing Martin notices about the employees of the hotel is how quiet and lifeless they act.
  • Actually, That's My Assistant: Turns out Beasley was the real manager of the hotel and Rouge wasn't even his assistant manager.
  • All Just a Dream: The tourist couple and the employees all think their zombie transformations were nothing but a dream, and the team is happy to let them think that.
  • Bad Boss: Mr. Rouge turns his employees into zombies due to being brainwashed by Hexan himself.
  • HA HA HA—No: M.O.M. gives this to Diana whe she asked if it was possible for them to miss one UFO in the sky.
  • Hidden Depths: Throughout his appearance in the episode, Beasly is but Rouge's assistant manager. After everyone is freed from the Hexan's influence, he's revealed to be the true manager of the hotel, having an understanding that one such skill you need is charisma, something Rouge lacks in spades. This revelation surprises Martin and Diana.
  • Happily Married: The couple rescued by the team seem to be going this direction.
  • Homage: This episode is an homage of the television series Fantasy Island.
  • Our Zombies Are Different: Rather than turning you by biting or using voodoo, people are turned into zombies by Hexan's undead yellow water.
  • Undead Abomination: Hexan is some sort of underwater undead creature made of yellow miasma without eyes and a vaguely humanoid shape with no legs. He also feeds on people's life force when he doesn't turn them into zombies.
  • Weaksauce Weakness: Hexan is incredibly vulnerable to clear water, which renders him useless and cleans the people of their zombie infection.
