035: Black, White, and Red All Over
Amaroq surrenders to Marshall Bass and the spirits, but Calamity still thinks he's out to get Corn. Everyone arrives at the temple of the Tezcatlipoca, and there are greeted, if impassively, by Xipe Totec, also called Murder, who traded her immortality and not her life to seal the Black Ick so many years previously. Kitty fills her in on the situation and Murder insists that everyone attempt to use the White Tezcatlipoca (the Mercy Bow) so that if Charles arrives, they will have it's healing properties. She no longer has a connection to the Red Tezcatlipoca, the weapon called Judgement, and fears if she tried to wield it she wouldn't be able to control it. Alas, nobody is chosen to wield the Mercy Bow and while they are trying this out, Charles sneaks in and floods the temple with Black Tezcatlipoca. He takes a second to scold Amaroq for abandoning him, and obtains the last piece of the Black Tezcatlipoca, despite the efforts of Kitty, who had been thrown clear of the surge of Ick. As Charles breaks the last seal though, he also wakes up the Red Tezcatlipoca, which attempts to immolate everything to suppress the Black. Huey arrives with Tlaloc's Fork, which Calamity uses to lift and hold the red-hot water flowing from the temple so that it can't flow into the city and do more damage. Judgement's wrath is held back by Kitty, who berates the Red Tezcatlipoca saying that it's instinct to rush out and burn away everything with no regard for collateral damage is just as reckless and irresponsible as Charles is. Judgement responds by offering to allow itself to be wielded by her. Kitty reluctantly agrees, and Judgement relents. Huey and Calamity rejoin a now ash-grey Kitty, and turn to confront Charles, who was burned but not killed by Judgement, but who now has all four pieces of the Black Tezcatlipoca.- Clothing Damage: As the Red Tezcatlipoca engulfed Kitty, it burned away her clothes.Huey: Kitty! ...You ain't got clothes on.Kitty: There was an all-devouring molten cataclysm.Huey: And it just took your clothes? That's weird.
- Did You Just Flip Off Cthulhu?: The Red Tezcatlipoca wakes up when Charles unleashes the Black, and tries to respond by engulfing everything in it's "molten cataclysm". Kitty's response is to berate it for this. Interestingly, this works, and makes the Red offer to let Kitty bear it as a guiding and moderating force.
- Empathic Weapon: While the Black Tezcatlipoca seems to have an animalistic intelligence, Judgement can actually talk, and has a conversation with Kitty where it offers itself to her.
- Wham Episode: This episode creates major shakeups to the stated Status Quo. Murder is shown to not be dead (Instead having traded her immortality to seal the Ick), Charles has acquired the last piece of the Black Tezcatlipoca but seems to have lost control of it, and Kitty is now the bearer of the Red Tezcatlipoca.
036: Severed
Charles was seriously injured in the fight between the Black and Red Tezcatlipocas in the previous episode, and Kitty threatens to let him bleed out if he doesn't remove the black ick from everyone present. He does, and people start tending to his wounds. Huey and Calamity go into town to find Corn, and find him... different: more personable, more cheerful, more colorful. He's even in his human form waiting to play a game with some locals.- An Arm and a Leg: Charles is shown to have lost the arm he grabbed the mirror with, plus a couple fingers from his remaining hand.
- O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Calamity is seriously weirded out to find Corn acting so normal, instead of how he usually acts.
- "The Reason You Suck" Speech: Kitty to Charles.You had someone who cared enough for you to throw away even the small bit he had and you didn't pay him no mind. I won't fool myself into thinking my feelings are anything you'd consider special, but what I am gonna do is hound you until you clean this mess you made. Now I can hound you right here in civilization close to folks what can treat your injuries or I can hound you in that purple hellscape of yours. Your choice.
- Transformation Sequence: We're treated to a magical girl-style one when Murder hands the Red Tezactlipoca's jar to Kitty and it transforms into a bright red dress.
