Recap / PK 2 S 2 E 14 The Last Hunt

Go To

Having returned to his everyday life after the events of the previous issue, Donald finds out that Tempest's position as a security guard is in jeopardy after she attacked a man who triggered a bad memory from her past by mentioning Elias Fog, former Seaducks Colonel. Tempest's past is brought to light, and from it, a threat rise as well...


This Issue contains examples of:

  • Accidental Misnaming: The deliveryman has trouble getting Fog's surname right.
  • Action Girl: Tempest was a former Seaducks and even when kidnapped and dropped in a forest in the middle of nowhere she manages to survive the Predator far more than expected.
  • Animal Motifs: Felines. The Issue opens with a cat pouncing a bowl of cream, Stevros' nickame was "Cat", Criosphere's symbol is a cat's head and the Predator is heavily feline-themed.
  • Arc Words: The description of the predator and his abilities.
  • Arms Dealer: Ed Morando, boss of Criosphere, is secretly this, developing hi-tech weapons and selling them to rich customers all over the world, the Predator being his latest toy.
  • Attack Backfire: Fitzroy, being himself, secretly records Tempest's confession to Donald and show it to Mortimer to smear her name. Mortimer finds her even more impressive (he mentions that he tried to join the Seaducks but was discarded) and assures Fitzroy that he will consider her a possible successor.
  • Bookcase Passage: Parodied, Lyonard put most of Astrongman's items in a secret room behind a bookcase... then put a book with "Secret Passage" written down on the spine because he always forgot which was the lever.
  • Brandishment Bluff: Surrounded by Fog and several cronies, PK pulls out a vaguely spherical object and threatens to detonate it. Fog is skeptical, but one of the soldiers point out that it could be a home-made device. Fog agrees to talk to PK face to face... so that his soldiers outside can take position.
  • Came Back Wrong: Stavros almost killed himself with a grenade. Criosphere saved his life... by forcibly turning him in a bionic warrior.
  • Chekhov's Gun: The security tape Donald took from Fitzroy is later used by PK to make the Predator see the confession and learn what happened.
  • A Day in the Limelight: Again, this issue is focused on Tempest Gale.
  • Defrosting Ice Queen: Male example with Stavros and Tempest back when they were colleagues. Tempest was the only person he opened to.
  • The Juggernaut: The Predator's armor makes him nigh unstoppable, and as long as his drones work he wont' give up the chase.
  • Kick the Dog: Fitzroy takes advantage of Tempest' distress to smear her reputation and assures his position as the new chief.
  • Kindhearted Cat Lover: Lyonard feeds stray cats in his free time. He also gives them names.
  • Know When to Fold 'Em: In the end, when Fog and Ed are targeted by the Predator, the former prudently accepts arrest rather than incur in his wrath.
  • Leaning on the Fourth Wall: Tempest asks Donald to stop interrupting the narration of her past as if he's talking through a movie's flashback.
  • Mundane Made Awesome: The issue opens with the awe-inspiring and detailed description of a mighty predator attacking a prey with no chance to escape... revealed to be a tubby cat playfully pouncing a bowl of milk.
  • My God, What Have I Done?: Implied to have been Stavros' reaction upon seeing Tempest' confession going through his eyes and learning that she did not betray him.
  • Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: During PK's first infiltration in Morando's villa, the Predator manages to rip the emblem of his Starcops uniform he was carrying with him. Fog reads Tempest' name on the site and decides to use her as a guinea pig for the Predator.
  • Oh, Crap!: Ed Morando and Fog have one when they realize that the Predator's eye drones are now targetting them.
  • Out of Focus: The Everett family has barely a cameo in this episode.
  • Roaring Rampage of Revenge: The Predator is convinced that Tempest betrayed him and has trained in order to avenge himself. Luckily, PK manages to make him realize the truth.
  • Running Gag: Mentions of "Beppo the Clown and his Singing Seal" are repeatedly made through the episode.
  • Shout-Out: In the end, a mariner on the ship is a pelican version of Popeye.
  • The Speechless: Stavros was a taciturn guy even before becoming a bionic soldier. He apparently talked offscreen to Tempest.
  • The Stoic: Again, Stavros was almost soulless in his lack of emotions.
  • The Stinger: Revealing that the Predator has boarded a ship sailing for Greece, so that he can finally return home.
  • Super-Soldier: Stavros became the Predator thanks to Criosphere: a tiger-themed cyborg with a powerful exoskeleton, shoulder-mounted miniguns, sharp retractible claws and a duo of highly-mobile Attack Drones shaped like eyes which allows him to track his prey everywhere.
  • Surveillance Drone: The Predator's eyes mostly serves as this to guide him, and they're connected to a surveillance system. They can also shoot lasers.
  • Taking You with Me: It's revealed that when Stavros was captured by the Criosphere men, he tried to kill himself with a grenade. It didn't work...
  • Tragic Monster: The Predator: seemingly betrayed by his Only Friend, nearly died, forcibly turned into a war machine and his thirst for vengeance fueled to the extreme.
  • Wolverine Claws: To compensate for he clumsy-looking paw gauntlets, the Predator has massive sharp hooked claws to attack with.
