Told through the use of an unpublished memoir found after her death, Catching Fire: The Story of Anita Pallenberg looks back at the life of model, actress, and Rolling Stones' muse Anita Pallenberg with a large section of the film devoted to her relationships with Brian Jones and Keith Richards. The documentary from Alexis Bloom and Svetlana Zill is most notable for the vintage photos and video footage of Pallenberg's life incorporated into the film.
Sisters is the theme of "They Slug Horses, Don't They?" as Louise (Kristen Schaal) and Tina (Dan Mintz) get in an escalating argument after Louise borrows Tina's toy without asking, and then breaks it when attempting to give it back to her sister. Her attempt to avoid apologizing by creating a cartoon of them as the characters of each of their toys (Louise as a slug and Tina as the horse) that blames Louise for everything only escalates the argument further. Unexpectedly, it's Gail (Megan Mullally) who plays peacemaker between the girls providing an example of her own struggles with their mother.
Although it provides almost nothing for the assistants to do, other than to laugh at Owen's (Arash DeMaxi) fandom, I enjoyed the main story of "Stan by Me" featuring Alec (Jesse L. Martin) and Rose (Karen David) working together to solve the murder of a fan one of her former clients, a renown K-pop star (Kirstin Leigh) who becomes the prime suspect. Sadly, I was far less interested in the B-story involving Marisa (Maahra Hill) and her struggle getting along with her new boss at the FBI which, in procedural fashion, fixes itself by the end of the episode and thus turns out to be mostly pointless.
When the old Gotham Opera House becomes haunted by the Phantasm, preventing the sale of the property, the owner reaches out to Mystery, Inc. to investigate. One of the potential buyers, Leslie Thompkins, also reaches out to an old friend to lend a hand leading to another team-up between the gang and Batman. Splitting into pairs, with Batman this time working with Velma, the group discovers the truth of what's happening at the theater.
The primary focus of "Sick as Our Secrets" deals with Gibbs (Austin Stowell) and Randy (Caleb Foote) being assigned the protection detail for a priest (Jonah Wharton) who knows the identity of a killer but cannot share it because it came through the confessional. The episode really exists to explore the guilt Randy has been carrying around for months, volunteering for every protection detail, after another agent took his place protecting Gibbs' wife and daughter. As for the case of the week, it's fine, and includes an interesting segment of Gibbs and Randy mistaking a pair of robbers as killers, but ultimately anticlimactic as the pair end up not protecting him from the killer and the priest simply gives them the name (meaning no one is asked to solve a crime).
