"The Potion," instead, treats itself like any other episode, albeit with Hector thrown into the formula, virtually a third wheel to Gumball and Darwin's antics without really standing up on his own, which is unfortunate. The issue is that the framework has such a lukewarm feel to its execution without ever trailing off on its own accord into something more surprising. I'm not saying it's bad by any means, because there's plenty here to enjoy. "The Potion" just comes across as an elaboration on that, and while it tries to become more of a close examination, it feels more like a general rehash. Both of those episodes, though, more importantly, examined how his height influenced his personality, with both signifying its dangers, but the latter especially hammering in his yearnings to be just like everybody else.

His character is defined by his height, with his other only major role, in "The Colossus," turning into an awesome, adrenaline-packed Shadow of the Colossus tribute, and his more recently memorable stint in "The Night" exploring how his life would be different if he were smaller. Hector has always been interesting for the show to work with. That's about as good of a one-word summary as I can get. So let's just get into it: "The Potion." It was. Welcome back! That's all I really have an idea of in terms of an introduction, because there's so many of these pesky episode bombs that trying to think of something new every time is a waste of mental exertion. "Sorry, it's my turn to be depressed? Thanks."
