| King Randor’s birthday gives cause for a huge party at the Royal Palace. Adam, Teela and Orko take time out to visit Ricky’s father at the Animal Sanctuary. Beast Man appears in the episode of the classic He-Man. Ricky tells viewers that having a genuine interest in something makes it seem less like work. | |||||

OUR REVIEW:
A mildly entertaining story where Beast Man's job is on the line and a very nextdoor neighbor looking Maddok is put to the test. That test fails, not thanks to He-Man, but rather Rikki... the little animal sanctuary kid that knows it all. Finding Rikki entertaining (or an annoying know-it-all) will ultimately be up to the viewer. (6/10)

Tomorrow’s Episode is: “The Cold Zone”
One thing I give the back half of episodes is they kept churning out fresh and different stories (mostly). It’s an interesting concept that Skeletor would audition replacements, but I don’t fully understand all the grief Skeletor gave him (except for the fact that he’s Skeletor) – Maddok comes across as far more useful and competent than an Evil Warrior like Spikor.
Sad that as we approach the end this is last Filmation appearance for Evil-Lyn, and the last “He-Man and the Masters of the Universe” appearance of Skeletor, Beastman, Teela, and King Randor.
ONE MORE EPISODE PEOPLE!!!!!!
I didn’t find this one that much engaging. I’m hoping the last one tomorrow will be good enough to put on my favorites list, which I have been keeping track of, but I’m not holding my breath.
