Gen Vhas a knack for taking these relatable coming-of-age experiences and giving them a superhero twist.

Its been days, and who knows how they wound up at Dustys party?

Much of Welcome to the Monster Club deals with everyone trying to figure out what happened to them.

Rufus is suspect No.

I shouldve known better, and now I do, Cate says, showing the self-blame shes internalized.

(Again, I think of the Jumanji command.)

While all this is happening, Emma starts her own investigation.

Sam came to apologize to her and Marie at the beginning of the episode, but neither remembered him.

Emma has really been proving her hero bona fides lately, and finally people are starting to notice.

Later, she continues to prove her big supe energy by alerting everyone to the truth about Cate.

But I still wish we had more time to really understand the context and history.

Why complicate it with more lies that could easily fall apart?

Thats a good move for the character, I think.

Hes not Rufus level, but theyre the same pop in of guy!
