The Tick (2016) 2.09

In the Woods

Arthur and the Tick receive a call informing them that they have been selected to be part of the new Flag Five. Bronze Star, Sage, and Joan of Arc fill out the rest of the roster. Arthur and the Tick meet with Flexon, after their first Flag Five team meeting, and help him to convince Lobsterucles that they need to introduce her children to the judge in order to get her released.

Joan of Arc meets with Frank and explains what has changed now that she is part of the Flag Five. He decides that He's had enough and leaves. Arthur and the Rick return to Danger Boat where they find Dot and Walter waiting for them. Walter explains that his real name isn't Walter and convinces Arthur that he needs to contact Tyrannorsaurus Rathbone and arrange a special meeting so that they can explain what they have found, away from AEGIS HQ.

Arthur, the Tick, Dot and Walter meet with Rathbone. Walter finds Joan after the meeting and explains what he's been hiding from her. Rathbone returns to his office where he has a meeting with Agent Doctor Hobbes. Overkill observes the meeting from a distance, through the scope of his sniper rifle before pulling the trigger and killing Rathbone.

Thoughts

Is Rathbone really dead? It didn't look like the hole that the bullet made was big enough for it to have penetrated the glass. Hmmm. 

It just occurred to me that there are two women named Joan in this show. There is Dot and Arthur's mother and but there is also Joan of Arc who used to go by Miss Lint.

This was a good episode but I don't see how they are going to wrap things up in a satisfying manner with just one episode to go.
