This episode of Romper Stomper was much slower than the previous. There was less action. Nevertheless, it did a great job of setting up the finale. Now, it seems that everyone is heading for Richmond Boathouse. Who is going to come out on top? Will George Anabasis fall prey to Vic and McGoo? Or, will Kane be able to stop their plan? The episode was pretty good. I can’t wait to see how things play out. The episode scores a 7.5 out of 10. Catch up with previous recaps of Romper Stomper right now!
