In his episode Sheila gets a new girlfriend (and maybe more than just a friend, as there are definite vibes going on here with Karena) and goes on an adventure separate from the rest of the gang who must retrieve her if they want to get a special set of rings which can send them back home.

This episode is fun but also feels a bit all over the place, as there is a bit of a discontinuity with previous episodes and the overall story of the series. As we wait to know more about the relationship between Venger and the Dungeon Master, that seems to have been completely dropped and out of nowhere comes Karena who is Venger’s sister and apparently not the daughter of the DM.

I know it’s a bit too much to expect coherent storytelling from a Saturday Morning Cartoon, we would have to wait for another 7 years or so to get shows like the Batman Animated Series and then X-Men which would have more complex continuities and storytelling, but it feels like a lost opportunity to plant some fascinating seeds that then seem to go nowhere. Oh well.
