The Strongest Woman in the Universe
Fred Luo hires Gene to make sure that Reiko Ando does not win the Strongest Woman in the Universe contest for the 5th consecutive year. He promises lots of money if he can deliver. If Reiko wins then Fred will have to marry her.
Gene tries to get Aisha to take part in the tournament but the organizers won't let her in the contest because she is Ctarl-Ctarl. Twilight Suzuka has no interest in entering the contest. Gene winds up disguising himself as a woman and entering under the name of Jenny Starwind. He finds out after he has signed up that Aisha has found a way to sneak into the tournament.
Gene's first match is against Reiko Ando. He loses and is out of the tournament. Aisha makes it all the way to the finals where she faces off against Lady Irago, who defeated Reiko Ando in the semi-finals. Fred is overjoyed to learn that Reiko lost but refuses to pay Gene because he had nothing to do with Reiko's loss.
The episode ends with Fred agreeing to loan Gene money so that he can go looking for the Galactic Leyline.
Thoughts
There's a fair amount of humor in this episode. Some of it worked for me and some did not. There is considerably less action than humor.
I don't love this episode. It isn't memorable for any good reasons. It doesn't move the plot forward or provide much in the way of character moments.
