Seq. 01 - "Dolphacuda Attack" (Episode 204: Three Days of the Mom-dor)
ACTION
Part Two of a cliffhanger, this episode opens with secret agent Pam-I-Am's disabled speedboat continuing to take on water as she fends off a pod of man-eating Dolphacudas (dolphin-barracuda hybrid). I set out to portray the frolicking pod's playful terrorizing of Pam as borderline sadistic.

It's a race against the clock (in the form of the morning sun's encroaching daylight).

"Zit Lab Showdown" Script Pages
I sought to infuse more kinetic energy into the dialogue-heavy pages for Pam and Guy's conflict. My solution was to stage their face-off atop a motorized maintenance staircase, escalating their conflict to an aggressive tug of war with the throttle lever. Now, whoever controls the staircase controls the bomb.
