    There's a definite sense that Gloria has been written in as a love interest for Matt and to act as an adopted Mum for Scott. What I don't understand is if the machine makes things go counter clockwise, why do they also go so much faster?

    I thought this episode rocked. It had a ton of great masks getting used in different ways. I also loved that M.A.S.K. continued to keep its female characters as strong and capable. Gloria is no damsel in distress and Vanessa once again acts almost as a second in command. Seeing all the agents switch vehicles was also a cool twist. Finally, the comedy in this episode was some of the best, particularly the drunk guy in the opening scene. Definitely a 5 of 5 for me.
