* BreatherEpisode: This episode is a low-stakes, mostly lighthearted story, with Wirt purposely annoying Beatrice, Greg cheering up some adorable animals, and the brothers helping a struggling school with its financial troubles. The (apparent) KillerGorilla's introduction is ''slightly'' scary, but the scene quickly turns into a comical slapstick chase, so that the gorilla comes across as more funny than menacing, even ''before'' we find out that he was never remotely a threat. It's a silly episode with a happy ending... the next episode, things get ''dark'' again.
