The Tick (2016) 1.04

Party Crashers

The tick survives the fall from a dozen or more stories. It finally sinks in that Arthur no longer has the suit so Overkill leaves. He takes Arthur's files with him.

Arthur invites the Tick to stay at his place over night. The next morning Arthur discovers that the Tick has invited a homeless man, Tinfoil Kevin, to stay with them. Arthur tries to explain why that is not okay. The Tick does not understand.

Miss Lint tries to figure out how to activate the suit, without success. She finally realizes, with some help from her ex-husband with whom she does not get along, that the suit is imprinted on Arthur so only he can activate it.

Arthur goes to a birthday party for Walter, his stepfather. Dot is at the party. She reminded him about the party. The Tick, despite being told not to, shows up at the party. He gets along quite well with Walter.

Miss Lint finds Arthur, at the party. She has brought the suit with her. She wants him to activate the suit and then transfer the ownership to herself. Arthur tries to comply with her demands but then he changes his mind and takes off running in the suit. The episode ends with Arthur jumping off a balcony to escape from Miss Lint. The wings in the suit activate but Arthur has trouble controlling them.

Thoughts

I'm still not sure exactly what Miss Lint is up to.

I love the banter between Walter and the Tick. Arthur didn't seem quite so distressed in this episode as he has in the previous ones.

This might be my favorite episode so far. I love the humor in this episode.
