Samurai Jack 4.10

XLIX: The Four Seasons of Death

Summer... Jack crosses a desert. He is attacked by creatures which look real. Jack eventually comes to the realization that the heat is making him see things that aren't really there.

Fall... An evil-looking scientist, who lives in a windmill, makes a mixture. He uses the it to infect a nearby well. Jack comes along and takes a drink from the well. He collapses but when the scientist moves in to get a closer look at Jack he discovers that all is not as it seems.

Winter... Miners, blacksmiths, and wizards work to create a mighty sword but it is no match for Jack's magic blade.

Spring... Jack is passing through a thorny wood when he encounters a magical woman who convinces him to stay a while. She gets very angry when he tries to leave.

Thoughts

Aku shows up very briefly in this episode.

This is different. There is no single thread that binds these four stories together. They each have their own flavor. I vaguely remember this one from the last time I watched it, years ago.
