So, looks like Welcome to the Wayne is back this week. This time, the episode concerns Team Timbers winding up in a fantastical supermarket in the Wayne after they overhear that the Spy from Apartment 8i was looking for more rainbow gas. Now going into what that is for anyone who hadn't watched the first episode: the rainbow gas was a type of chemical that was used on some squid-like creatures called "Squidgets" which subdues the Squidget which would then be eaten by a shark-like monster called Sleepyhead. Essentially, the Spy was trying to use Sleepyhead to take over the Wayne, for it is said that whosever controls the Wayne controls the world. Got that? Okay, moving on. Meanwhile, the Spy has a shapeshifting entity known as an "equomorph" prisoner, assigning him the task of destroying Team Timbers' friendship in return for his freedom. Going into it, the equomorph reminds me a lot on the Shape Shifter from Gravity Falls. Of course, I'm not saying that they're ripping off that concept, but it's interesting.

Now, the episode on its own was okay. There were some funny moments like Olly creating a hamburger out of licorice, and whatever was in his pockets, and there's also the scene of the shapeshifter transforming into a familiar Nicktoons character whose name was withheld due to copyright. The reveal on what the equomorph's true form was is also pretty hilarious. I won't spoil that for you. However, the humor was a hit or miss for me. Really, a lot of the humor ranges from being genuinely funny to bland. One thing I liked though is the depiction of the supermarket. It is very imaginative, especially when you take the products that the store sales into consideration.

All in all, it was a pretty good episode. While I wouldn't say that it's the best episode that Welcome to the Wayne had in a while, it is pretty great that it's back for the time being. Though, it might end up getting glossed over again by the time this week is over, but until then, it was very enjoyable.
