The Mysterious Cities of Gold S3E6 - The Return of Zares

Finally, the villain returns

It started a bit weak as the Gaspard revenge scenario was pretty much twarted at the get go with him declining to attack Mendoza for some reason, so Ambrosius gave him a sleeping potion instead so that he could use the Zares-suit to kill Mendoza and get back his compass. But while he gets there Mendoza gets a visitor as the kid the children have been staying with have come as part of his watch duties and gives Mendoza a message from Estaban. Mendoza hands over the compass together with a written note on how they are about to escape. The kid gets to town and are tailed by Zares. Estaban gets there as well and after a short hunt is able to knock several logs of wood over Zares as they escape to the woods. In the woods Zares gets them again, knock the kid unconscious and retrieve the compass from Estaban, but are chased away by Zia and Tao who are looking for Estaban.

Reading the note Zares relises that Mendoza plans to escape with the airship so he hurries back (I think), knocks Gaspard unconscious again and tries to leave. Meanwhile Mendoza and Co escaped their cell by hiding under the floor and letting the guards open the doors for them. They climbed the roof and jumped on to the ballon as it began rising and flew away as Ambrosius escaped the caste.

Back at the kids home they tend to his wounds and the episode ends as Zia discovers that the emblem of the lord looks like the emblem on the mirror shield.

Decent episode, the music as the guards look for Mendoza and co in the castle sounded like some old tune from the first season. The story feels a bit slow, Mendoza episodes are more action oriented I feel, but the story take a back seat and it feels like its the other way around when the episode is kid centric and that make me actually appreciate the kids stuff more so far... probably more if I understood everything they said.
