Mrs. Davis: A Baby with Wings, a Sad Boy with Wings and a Great Helmet

While pursuing a lead, Wiley endures an absurd competition; Simone reveals a long-kept secret.
Loved the first 2 eps. This episode was so tedious. The decision to spend so much time on Wiley is baffling. He's so much less interesting than Simone (and the Lizzie joke is getting really tiresome). Hoping ep4 is better.

Though I will say that Jezabull and Excalibattle as names cracked me up way more than they deserved.

“Preston John Wiley III” sure sounds a lot like Prester John, the mythical Christian king of a legendary lost kingdom.

Are there strange festive contests like Excalibattle in real life? I'm sure there's got the be something, at least in the past.

The visual pun of British Knights shoes in a King Arthur contest amused me.

There was Touch the Truck (which was, apparently, based on a US series). No crown was conferred to the winner, nor mashed root vegetables, but the eponymous truck was.
I feel like the creators want me to try to work out the symbolism, but I'm not going to, I'm just going to let it wash over me.

This was definitely not as compelling as the previous two.
