The Suffering Game
7 episodes · 2016
Merle, Magnus, and Taako head to Wonderland. What could go wrong?
1Chapter One
After a summer spent tirelessly training, our heroes are finally prepared to take on their next, harrowing mission. What horrors — or fortunes — await them in Wonderland? I mean, this arc is literally titled “The Suffering Game,” so you can probably piece it together yourself. Merle hangs ten. Taako’s like a bird. Magnus drops in on an old friend.
2Chapter Two
Our boys survived their first encounter in The Felicity Wilds — but will they survive the perils that await them inside of Wonderland? Or like, maybe it’s not so bad in there? No, I’m just goofin’. It’s pretty dang bad in there. Magnus makes a new BFF. Merle goes dark. Taako considers a job application.
3Chapter Three
Wonderland has revealed itself as a genuinely unsafe place for our heroes to be. Can they make forward progress in a cyclical game designed to extract raw anguish from them? Can they reach their distant goal before they’ve sacrificed too much? Magnus goes spear fishing. Merle is the MVP. Taako has a spot of bad luck.
4Chapter Four
After Round One of The Suffering Game, our heroes aren’t doing too great — and with another turn of the Wheel ahead, the future’s not especially bright, either. Can they keep their heads up (and on) to power through? Magnus makes an invisible friend. Merle charms the crowd. Taako makes ’em laugh.
5Chapter Five
Strange things are afoot in Wonderland as our heroes find themselves aided by an invisible accomplice — but will their secret plan pop off before the boys lose something precious to the Wheel? Merle does some costly healing. Taako gets into cosmetics. Magnus forgets.
6Chapter Six
Our heroes are forced to square off against their deadliest former foes — but their real challenge comes in the form of a danger the likes of which they’ve never experienced. Taako gets primal. Merle gets disconnected. Magnus gets a couple of helping hands.
7Chapter Sevenfinale
Game Over. Taako makes some fashionable friends. Merle does some wordplay. Magnus remembers.
