Review: Ducktales “Escape from the ImpossiBin!”

Overview

After the big reveal of Bradford being a F.O.W.L. Agent in the last episode, Scrooge comes to the realization that they all must defend themselves against F.O.W.L., and even goes as far as to install a new security system into the Money Bin and challenges both Louie & Della to beat it, while Beakley and Webby train the others for an enemy attack.

Our Take

This was quite a hectic & suspenseful episode as the two separate storylines serve an actual purpose within the narrative of Season 3. Without giving away too much, Murphy’s Law seems to live up to its meaning as they try to mentally prepare themselves. The security systems within Scrooge’s bin are highly advanced and are pretty damn creative in terms of how they’re presented, while Webby’s methods of training the boys come across as both funny and scary.

Throughout the episode, we get to understand the reasons for both Scrooge and Beakley’s irrational behavior when things almost go too far with their training. But eventually, things begin to take a more serious direction by the end when a big F.O.W.L.-related twist rears its ugly head and it’s tied with a series of callbacks from past episodes within Season 3.

Overall a good episode that sets up some big events for things to come that I wholeheartedly look forward to.
