Sarah Jane Adventures Review: The Curse of Clyde Langer (S5, E3 + E4)

These are the episodes that I like more in this show. It's one of those episodes where one of the gang gets some sort of alien contact and it effects everyone but the person who gets it (if that makes sense). Anyway, let's carry on.

SPOILERS!!!!

So Clyde Langer does some comic strips and shows them to Rani at school. Elsewhere, Rani's Dad (the headmaster) is busy enrolling Sky which is then interrupted by fish falling from the sky. Unusual as it may sound, Sarah-Jane gets Mr. Smith (her computer) to attempt to identify the cause of it. In the meantime, the gang go to the local museum to see a new totem that's been delivered there. Clyde (unaware of the "Do Not touch" sign), touches the totem and gets a cut from it. The gang then go their separate ways and we cut to Clyde arriving home with a greeting from his mum. As night falls, Clyde's signatures on various items in his room start to glow. The next day, Clyde then goes to Sarah Jane's house and mentions his name which then causes Sarah Jane to get angry and forces him to leave. Similar effects happen when Rani and her dad come out and mention his name and it then continues when Clyde talks to Luke on the phone and a gang he hangs around with, get angry and start chasing him. Upon returning home, his mum also hates him and then Clyde then goes into the slums for the night with a greeting from a homeless person that he spared some change with earlier on. The next day, the girl then shows Clyde the works when it comes to the slums and still aware that he has the curse, Clyde tells the girl that his name is Enrico Box (from a pizza box in the slums). Ellie (the homeless girl) then takes Clyde to a canteen for the homeless and they sit next to a woman who warns Clyde of the Night Dragon and also about the curse. Meanwhile, Sky investigates the curse by visiting Clyde's mum, who's in tears about it and then heads to Sarah-Jane's house where she confronts Sarah Jane and Rani and (with some help from Mr. Smith) forces them to say Clyde's name. upon doing so, the curse is then lifted and the gang go to get Clyde. Returning to the attic with Clyde, Mr. Smith then teleports the totem where Clyde confronts it and presumably destroys it which then lifts the curse from everyone. Clyde returns home and gets a hug from his mum.

Another great episode even if it has a similar story to previous episodes. 8/10
