She lands in the middle of the fray like a Marvel superhero, light emanating from her body. In Episode 9: “The Tide of Bone,” Pike saves the remaining six members, and all of Whitestone, from being overrun by an undead army. All she had to do was admit she had strayed from the righteous path in her time with Vox Machina, and pledge to always stay true to her morals. After extreme meditation and a frank conversation in the spiritual plane with the Everlight, Pike regains her powers. Not to be used for personal motivation, of course.Įpisode 8: “A Silver Tongue” catches up with Pike (Ashley Johnson), still trying to tap into her spiritual power at the Everlight’s temple.
We can only hope that someday the “Scanthems,” as fans refer to Scanlan’s off-the-cuff ditties, will be collected into an album or playlist. The script, written by Riegel and Travis Willingham, stands out as one of the funniest yet. With witty songs to narrate the action, he takes down the soldiers with just his lute, his mystery potions, and of course his giant purple hand. Seeing Scanlan go on a solo mission, “Rambo” style, is the real treat of the episode, though. Scanlan may walk with a confident swagger, but he still wants the respect of his compatriots. Watching the purple gnome plead his case with the rest of Vox Machina, trying to win their confidence in his plan to distract a garrison of soldiers by drinking a bunch of mystery potions and seeing what happens, is both hilarious and insightful. Finally, Scanlan (Sam Riegel) proves he is not just the comedic relief, he’s also a warrior in his own right.
Episode 7: “Scanbo” packs both an awesome fight with immense character development.
