Legend of the Three Caballeros, Episode Nine: "Mexico a Go-Go"

So according to conspiracy-theory-AMJ, "the Sheldgoose family line has a dark connection to every major disaster in history!" OMG. To illustrate this, they have pictures of: the Titanic sinking (it could be any ship, really, but the Titanic just seems like the best-known "major disaster), a mushroom cloud, a radiation warning (this shit could get REALLY dark if you went into more detail), a plane going down, a tidal wave about to hit a lighthouse, and...a thumbs-down sign? Okay! Anyway. So that is that.

Then! Off to Mexico for adventures. It's honestly not hugely clear what these goings-on have to do with the larger Felldrake plot stuff, but that's okay: fun's fun. The Mexican/Aztec chickens see Panchito as the incarnation of a god, or words to that effect, so they treat him all royally and stuff...BUT! Is there a dark side to all this? Impossible to say! There's a sexy lady parrot to distract Jose (certainly in-character) and a sexy human dude to distract Xandra. As for Donald, he's concocted a scheme with AMJ whereby he can go on a date with Daisy by having one of them standing on another's shoulders kids-trying-to-get-into-R-rated-movie-style, using the mirror. This makes Daisy look dumber than is probably reasonable, it's true (and the idea that she "never made the connection before" between her name and actual daisies--hoo boy), but this is a kind of humor that, though obvious, I can't help finding hilarious every damn time. So anyway, that's what he's doing, or trying to do.

Turns out Panchito, as a representative of Life, has to battle Sheldgoose as a representative of Death ("Well idiot, I don't see how you have a chance. That's my pep talk. Go get 'im," is Felldrake's inspirational speech). And, naturally, the luchador thing comes back. Though I have to say, I thought luchadors were supposed to hide their identities, or at least make some pretense in that direction--Panchito doesn't, even a tiny bit.

Well, it's all fun and games, but then it turns out that Sexy Dude was Death and Sexy Parrot was Life the whole time! It's genuinely creepy when they unmask, but it is wholly unclear to me what the purpose of this charade was in the first place it it's all fake, and it is further unclear to me why Life is declared to have "won" this...thing.

Still, it's bright and shiny with a fun cliffhanger. Not gonna lie: I'm still not seeing what you people saw in the last episode, but this one is back on track.
