This one, "Jason Funderberker," sticks.īased on the flashback episode, it's clear Wirt struggles with confidence, insecurity, and facing his fears. Then, in a sweet moment that shows him playing along with Greg for the first time, Wirt finally joins in the frog-naming game. Upon finding Greg becoming an Edelwood, Wirt apologizes and says it's his fault they're lost - taking that responsibility. When Wirt discovers Greg is missing, he acknowledges that he hasn't been very good to his little brother. He gives himself over to the Beast, who tries to make him lose hope in order to turn him into an Edelwood tree. It's Greg, then, who puts himself in danger to save his brother. To save his brother, Greg offers himself instead, but Beatrice and Wirt come to his rescue. The stakes rise in the final episodes: Wirt has been trying to get them home, but after their bluebird friend Beatrice (Melanie Lynskey) betrays them, he loses hope and is nearly claimed by the Beast (Samuel Ramey). With only 10 episodes - of about ten minutes in length, each - it's a quick watch and tightly created by Patrick McHale, who was a writer on Cartoon Network's "Adventure Time."
