Episode Recap:

Yell at Grant? Yell at Grant will you?! Grant delivers a salient, and pointed lecture about how if Xander doesn’t want everyone to hate him he’s got to treat people better than he does. Xander keeps the threatening dialed up to eleven. Not an argument Grant is going to win. So why does Grant bother? Grant even thinks Xander might wake up one day and decide to kill him. Even Swordfish is derisive. Xander…returns to the solace of the bottle as Grant launches into another tirade and starts flag-waving. Xander makes some half-hearted sallies, but Grant rapidly gets to the heart of things, this is all because Xander’s got a birthday coming up. He’s getting old. He’s having a midlife crisis. Xander meanwhile tells us that he’s set everything in motion in classical style, and he wants to be the good guy for once. Kore, which is another name for the goddess Persephone, will be the princess to save. Shane will be the Macguffin. Xander is usually the villain, but he wants to be the hero this time. Grant curiously has not been given a role, I’ll leave you to figure out where he belongs in all this. At the end of Grant’s philippic, Xander invites him to come along to the laboratory and see how Kore’s coming along. And of course this is phrased in a way that doesn’t leave Grant a choice. Xander’s got some work to do on his people skills, but ya can’t say they aren’t effective.

Synopsis:

Aging telepath Evil Overlord Xander has traded his youthful dream of joining the US military and using his superpowers to benefit humanity for over-the-hill cynicism, self-imposed exile on his private zoo-for-crazy-people Eynhallow Island, and a serious case of May-December midlife crisis. And technically it's only kidnapping if she tries to leave.
