Partners
Episode 2 of Mythic Quest Season 3 starts with a great gag. Ian ends up playing around with his VR headset but in doing so, he bumps straight into Poppy while she’s sitting at her desk. She’s not happy with him messing with her space, especially as she’s “thinking big” – but Ian is too. He wants to put Hera into the Metaverse, linking everything to the Blockchain and doubling down on the whole NFT/crypto fad. Ian ends up bumping into Poppy while she’s working and she’s not happy about it. She thinks he’s messing with her space and is working on a project that will change the world, so Ian decides to put Hera into the Metaverse using blockchain technology. ..
Ian and Poppy navigate their way through this – and away from her – and encourage each other to be great partners. Of course, Ian can’t help but throw another quip about her hair before he leaves, with Poppy just about keeping it together.
Meanwhile, David continues to spy on Brad, seeing him as the new member of Mythic Quest HQ. In fact, he even has Jo spy on him and report back too. Placing an expensive diffuser in the bathroom, and cleaning spotlessly, David wonders what Brad’s plan may be. Carol just thinks he’s doing a good job but David is like a Pitbull with a bone, he’s not letting go of this. ..
Dana shows up for her first day at work at Grimpop, but Poppy is too busy coding to greet her. Rachel suggests they have some fun, so they head back into MQ’s coding suite and end up having an awkward conversation with the two new male coders. ..
MQ is in the middle of a crisis. Ian, the company’s CEO, is suggesting that Poppy, one of their employees, needs to change her entire nutritional regime in order to prevent harassment at work. Poppy turns it around and points out that she has more important things to do than worry about Ian’s suggestions. Of course, Ian messes that up too, and ends up smack bang in the middle of MQ’s latest crisis – harassment at work.
The coders were uncomfortable with the way they were being treated and felt like they were undervalued. David called them “lowest white men on the totem pole” and Carol took offence. David then told them to get back to work.
Dana and Ian decide to plug in to VR together, after Poppy ends up in a self-induced sugar coma. They both like the Metaverse and decide to plug in to it together. Could we be seeing the start of a crazy new friendship?
The Episode Review
The second episode of Mythic Quest is a brilliantly constructed comedy adventure. The whole diversity meeting and harassment gig is a nice touch, while the subplot involving Poppy and Ian down at GrimPop is easily the best part of this show. ..
The two companies have very different ideals and ways of doing business, and it’s delightful to watch them clash and butt heads over the best way forward. ..
In the latest episode of “The Office,” it was revealed that Dana and Rachel may be hitting it off better than ever. This could mean more for Dana in the upcoming episodes. The show, “Mythic Quest,” is looking to get back on track and this could be due to the development between Dana and Ian. ..
