Recap / The Dreamstone S 04 E 13 Urpjaws

Go To

Urpgor invents a device for Zordrak to see into another's mind. The Urpneys use Urpgor's newest invention to go and suck up the Noops at their regatta in order to steal the Dreamstone. On their way through the Sea of Destruction, they are chased by an angry Octopus for disturbing its magic sand, but this gives Rufus and Amberley the chance to get the magic sand in order to save the Planet Dreamstone from its wounds caused by a meteorite shower. Sgt Blob and his men return successfully with The Dreamstone, and Zordrak sends his Argorribles to the Land of Dreams, but he soon realizes that The Dreamstone was only made by The Dreammaker's imagination. After recharging The Dreamstone, Rufus and Amberley return, and The Dreammaker repels the Argorribles. Back in Viltheed, Zordrak attempts to get into The Dreammaker's mind with the mind reading device, but Urpgor accidentally gets caught in its charge.

Tropes featured in the episode:

  • And the Adventure Continues: The final episode culminates with the heroes going inside to make dreams and Zordrak getting Urpgor to continue in their current scheme to take the stone.
  • Anti-Climax: While a standard for the main formula, all three arcs in this episode have a rather mundane payoff. Blob and his men are duped into releasing the hostages halfway into the episode, while Urpgor's headset just doesn't work. Rufus and Amberley meanwhile fix the Planet Dreamstone with little to no difficulty at all.
  • Brainwashed and Crazy: Inverted. Zordrak attempts to use Urpgor's device to brainwash the Dream Maker, but, as the latter notes, it's a failed effort.
  • Grand Finale
  • Guilt-Ridden Accomplice: Played for Laughs. Frizz feels rather bad hindering Mr. Skiff's timetable with their ransom scheme.
  • No-Sell: The Dream Maker quickly resists Zordrak's mind control, and then notes it to be a more pathetic effort than usual (he's apparently made a habit with this scheme).
  • Old-Timey Bathing Suit: All the Urpneys wear these while swimming in the Sea of Destruction.
  • Screw This, I'm Outta Here: The Urpneys decide to leave as Urpgor tends to an increasingly antsy Zordrak's headset.
  • Series Continuity Error: Albert is shown happily swimming in water, even though it was established in "The Statue Collection" that he is aquaphobic. Of course, considering this is the last episode, it's not important in the long run, but even so.
  • Three Lines, Some Waiting: There are three subplots in the episode: Zordrak trying to take over the Dream Maker's mind, the Noops needing to repair the Planet Dreamstone, and the Urpneys disrupting the Noops' regatta (and dealing with a fussy contest judge). Out of all three, only the Planet Dreamstone one receives any sort of resolution.
  • Throw the Dog a Bone: As with the previous episode, Blob and his men get through the episode with minimal abuse and get to retire from their mission halfway into the episode, thus miraculously ending the series in a decent position.
