Episode 63: The Locket

Oh mah gahhh! Etheria may look different from our world, but even on a planet of unicorns and snake people, teen culture is alive and well. Anywhere you go, teens must love skateboards, concert tickets and going on adventures – even though rebellion leaders and talking dragons are telling them not to do it.

That’s how we get into a farcical series of captures and rescues this week: Just as Adora finishes bragging about a special locket that Sea Hawk gave her, Imp grabs it and boogies over to Shadow Weaver. The rebels pursue, and our new young friend, Dina, defies instructions to stay behind.

In this week’s show, we’ll examine Sea Hawk’s personality developments, Rattlor’s muscles and other options the story might have taken. This episode has a dragon, a love story, Shadow Weaver and Imp – what could go wrong? Is this episode “bad” the way that teens mean “good?” We render our verdict in the ratings section.

Listen out also for some tips on how to give good and bad gifts in your own life!
