Season 1, Episode 42: Henry's Father and the Chamber of Secrets
Favorite moment: No one single moment. I just love this episode.
General thoughts:
I love this episode so much. I've listened to it A LOT. Henry has some great monologues. And we get lore. And goofs. Mr. Mustache dog. So good.
My favorite episodes are the ones that combine all the elements: got some funny stuff, some drama, some lore. It's great.
The lore: the backstory for Henry, the tie in to the Doodler and At the Mountains of Dadness is great. It makes this whole world feel lived in, and ties everything together (including season 2) in a really wonderful way.
The drama: Henry's conversation with his mom is heartbreaking, as are the moments with Lark and Sparrow. And the confrontation with Barry is just awesome. Love it.
The goofs: Mr. Mustache dog! It reveals Mr. Mustache and he gets to be a dog?? Yes, please.
Love these kinds of episodes - my absolute favorite.
Next time - some good old-fashioned, "I hate my dad because he stole my children" combat.
