This episode was quite a change of pace. I mean, it was still enjoyable, but IMO it was a little sub-standard. I'm sure people will disagree though.
On the plus side, the episode had a ton of funny parts; I particularly liked Bubbles' line "my legs are all crinky-cranked" or whatever it was, when getting out of the car. I liked Julian feeling bad and admitting that he liked Jacob, plus they talked about Cory and Trevor a bit.
The things I didn't like: Bubbles going "aw yeah, aw yeah" when he found the track. But the main thing that bugged me was that this episode just seemed sort of unnecessary; it felt pretty short, because not too much was accomplished in terms of story, or even much action, or anything. The boys look in the forest for Jacob and friends, and find them. Did that really need to take up a whole episode?
Don't get me wrong, it was still a very entertaining show and I had fun watching it, but it wasn't one of my favourites.
