Vampires and Battles

Wizards of Waverly Place 2.24 "Wizard for a Day"
Alex obtains a hat that gives you wizard powers for a day and gives it to her dad for his birthday.
When he uses it to wish for pencils (to go with the auto-sharpening pencil holder Justin gave him) and a milkshake from a long closed restaurant, she gets frustrated and turns the Waverly Sub Station into the Asteroid Belt, the space-themed milkshake joint from Jerry's childhood.
Shenanigans ensue, culminating in actual aliens.
I could have done without "home made gifts are better than fancy stuff" but those alien costumes were so amazingly terrible I loved them.
Wizards of Waverly Place 2.25 "Cast-way To Another Show"
Justin wins a really nice essay contest. Really nice as in the prize is a cruise to Hawaii.
A teen-only cruise. Alex only gets to go because she agrees to go to the on-ship school. So she smuggles Harper to go for her.
Meanwhile, Justin is trying to get a date with the onboard celebrity/influencer girl. Until he discovers just how, well, vapid she is and regrets pulling Alex-level shenanigans.
(Remarkably little magic this episode, really just hiding Harper in the suitcase).
I also don't want to go on that cruise. Safety does not seem to be their priority.
Daredevil 1.9 "Speak of the Devil"
The format here is interesting...an extended Ninja Duel <tm> interspersed with the events that lead up to it.
Reluctantly, Daredevil decides his only true option is to kill Fisk after Fisk apparently has old Mrs Cardenas murdered because she won't leave her home.
Gentrification sucks.
But when he goes after Fisk, he bumps into a ninja in red, and they fight to the (unpleasant) death. Fisk isn't too unhappy about this; the assassin was becoming, apparently, a problem.
As, in his mind, is Matt.
But now Foggy knows what's going on. And isn't going to be happy about it...
Andor 1.5 "The Axe Forgets"
Cassian's "cover" is blown when the rebels question his presence, and discover the small piece of priceless khyber he's carrying.
He admits to being a mercenary, but also tells everyone they have pre-battle jitters. I'd say "speak for yourself," but they clearly did.
We also get little snippets of Imperial life. Of ordinary people...who are also cogs in the fascist machine. Because that's how it works. Fascism can't survive without those ordinary people...
At the same time, even Imperial soldiers want time off to watch the spectacular local "weather."
Wizards of Waverly Place 2.26 "Wizards vs. Vampires on Waverly Place"
Why is the Sub Station so slow? Because a vampire family moved in and started a goth sandwich place, of course!
And they have a hot daughter and now Julian wants to date her, but Jerry is being racist (speciesist?) against vampires. And then there's the sandwich feud.
(Meanwhile, Alex is trying to get Max in to underwater cowboy camp to get rid of him for the summer. She didn't think this through).
Uh, and the hot daughter is, of course, named Juliet, so we know this will end...poorly.
