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 leaned into the tension by storyboarding the frolicking pod's playfully terrorizing of Pam as borderline sadistic.

"Z.I.T. 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.
