Previous / Next
Episode 4: Der Dieb
A series of unexplained thefts leads Murphy to declare "Martian law". In the ensuing madness, everyone ends up blaming Quinn for all the thefts.
Episode 6: Hail, Squishface
A mysterious Asian visitor brings an irresistibly cute Gloop (reminiscent of shmoos) onto the station, which Murphy names Squishface. There are two problems, though: Gloops stink, and they multiply so fast that eventually Sealab is overrun with them. This episode parodies "The Trouble With Tribbles", Gremlins, and Aliens. There is also a reference to the popular fps shooter Return to Castle Wolfenstien when Debbie calls out "I need ammo!" and a bullet icon appears over her head.
