@ Herculine that's pretty much exactly it. I really admire the subtle complexity of many of the characters, and it just feels like so often in these episodes they're just used as one-note slapsticks or narrative prods with minimal regard for how they normally act, or otherwise for any effective character development. Not all the time, but enough to notably dampen my enjoyment of any given episode.

I thought the story itself had solid underpinnings; it was admirable in that, as many others pointed out, it didn't feel like Baby Cakes despite having a lot of potential similarities (not that I dislike that episode). There were a few brief scenes that had a fairly strong impact on me, and the animations for the most part were quite well done. Of post-season five episodes it scores higher than almost all the rest, but overall it just doesn't spark the same interest as pre-S06 material.
