Recap / Hercules The Animated Series S 2 E 12 Hercules And The Gorgon

• An Aesop: Lampshaded by Aphrodite. “If you live a lie, you will never know who your true friends are.”
• Laser-Guided Karma: Hades is at the mercy of Hephaestus as the episode’s final scene.
• Shout-Out: The magic words Hades uses to turn Medusa human is Bippity Boppity Boo.
• What the Hell, Hero?: Icarus gives Hercules an absolutely brutal version of this after Herc condemns Medusa as "a freak," asking if he plans to kill her despite the fact that she's a good person who only wanted friends. And for that matter, how many other "freaks" does Hercules want to kill, like maybe a certain guy who flew too close to the sun.
• Whole-Plot Reference: To The Little Mermaid.
