The 12 Hours of Christmas
David is super happy and getting into the holiday spirit, but the other staff don’t feel the same way. David insists that this will be the best day ever, but the other staff don’t seem to believe him.
David arrives at the holiday party much to Ian’s disdain. He offers some words of encouragement to him, suggesting David needs to get their mind off of the fact it’s Christmas. David refuses to let the staff indulge in their comforts, with alcohol off the table, and plenty of forced fun games on the table instead.
Rachel and Dana show each other their new monetization venture, but Brad is lurking about and shouting ideas in their ears (more like shouting them from the rooftops but you get the point!). Dana stands up for her girlfriend though, and reminds her that Brad is the assistant here, not the other way round.
Jo shows up with gifts for Poppy and Rachel, but both of them are awkward and not sure how to react. After all, the gifts are necklaces with parts of the crushed car on. Things go from bad to worst when Jo is forced to dress up by David.
David and Jo find themselves in an empty office, and soon realize why. Ian and Poppy have all the staff downstairs, intending to throw a big party and let them all blow off steam. That’s not David’s idea of fun though and he breaks the whole thing up by getting on the mic, acting like a scrooge and forcing everyone back to work.
After much deliberation, Ian and Poppy decide to do something nice for David and bring the art department in to spruce up his office for Christmas. This extra effort has paid off as they now have more money and can give all of their staff a Christmas bonus. ..
The Episode Review
Mythic Quest’s holiday episode was nicely paced with a chapter that brought everything full circle. The on running jokes with Jo getting some good punchlines especially the gift at the end with the game. ..
In the midst of all the Mythic Quest activity happening around the world, Ian and Poppy do something nice for David. Even though he was acting like a grinch, it still proves that good can still come out of bad situations. ..
Overall, Mythic Quest leaves the door open for next week’s follow-up. ..
