Carol is so impressed by her cadets' pointless scheme from last month that she invites them along on her own pointless scheme this month. Alpha Flight's situation is unchanged and the Carol/Cadets relationship is evolved by all of two lines. This feels like the best, least error-prone work the creative team can put out and it's a real shame it's so mediocre. This arc is set up like a season finale from an ensemble TV drama, but we haven't had the chance to get to know 80% of the cast. Margaret Stohl's dialogue is also woefully stiff; we could really use an emotive actor to step between the page and the audience to bring these cardboard characters to life.
