What happened in Episode 6?
The episode focuses on Pim buying a magic mirror, and this experience brings him to face Squim, a character that fans were glad to see once again. Meanwhile, in Charlie, the plot moves into a darker phase where he starts digging deep into highly disturbing internet content that creators Zach Hadel and Michael Cusack characterize as really bad stuff.
The creators stressed that the exploration of the internet by Charlie is not intended to be funny or entertaining, unlike the usual comedic style of the show. The two layered narrative enables the episode to delve into both the whimsical fantasy with the magical mirror trip and the darker, more cautionary themes through Charlie’s online journey.
