Okay well then, it looks like I'm going to reviewing all the episodes of "The Venture Bros" as long as I keep seeing new ones! So this episode features the Monarch attacking Dr. Venture but he says he's been going to therapy for awhile. The funniest bit is when the Monarch says this means he's been driving his archnemesis into therapy, but a henchman points out it could be for something else. It's great to see Henchman 21 in the beginning showing off his strength. He's not relevant here, but it's fun. We see Dr. Venture go to a meeting with other former superhero/adventurer like people.
The therapist dies by being bitten by a snake and the members go on to solve the mystery of his death. What's great is that this is very well built up. You'd think Dr. Venture going to therapy would just be a throwaway gag, especially with all those other characters. Instead, they continue to make with the jokes that make everything relevant to the story. They never do find out who killed the therapist and I was disappointed the audience didn't either. Wait, there's a scene after the credits where it's revealed it was none other than the Monarch! It actually makes sense as he was previously talking about the therapist. ****
