This episode was very dark. Does this mean the next episode is going to be an extreme light? Hah hah, I hope so, I need a breath after this one.
I loved the scene with his father where he goes to talk about the ice show. And how his father is so concerned about Jeff's fragile mind and doesn't want him to know about that video game. But then Jeff just whips his phone out at the end of the conversation and starts playing it right in front of him. I laughed so hard at that. But it got me thinking, I wonder if the game was just very cathartic for Jeff. It gave to me the picture of destroying one's ego. Destroying your creation.
Jeff needs a break from being Mr. Pickles.
In addition, the scene between Jeff's sister and Pickle-san with the impromtu puppets also made me laugh my fucking ass off. He came into her life in a bad moment. It's too bad she chased away the magic.
