Disaster

Episode Air date: October 27, 1985
Jem and the Holograms seek help from Howard Sands and his mansion after a fire destroys Starlight House. Trouble ensues when the Misfits find out and seek to stop them.

Episode 2 of Jem and the Holograms is absolutely bonkers. And I don’t mean regular bonkers, I mean totally unhinged and insane bonkers. This episode has everything: white privilege, burnt down foster homes, foster children with no pants, bulldozer violence, French Fish Duchesses, yacht parties, psychologically dysregulated throuples, bombs in couches, Black guys who respond to dog whistles, and tons of mischief … oh and Isabella Rossellini.

Trust me when I say my recap is THOROUGH.
