In a rare turn for action cartoons, the comedy episodes have arguably produced some of the best episodes. “Mad Mod”, “Fractured” and my personal favorite, “Date with Destiny”. “Can I Keep Him?” Works as a fine blend of both, especially thanks to the 2 villains in the episode, both returning from previous episodes. There were some moments that genuinely tugged at the heartstrings, specifically Starfire crying.
