Gentlemen, that RULED!
The writing was fantastic, the one-liners were priceless, the cliches were spot-on.
Poor Scott. I was really rooting for him too. Ah well. Maybe he's still alive?
And The Monarch! What a genius! Shockingly brilliant yet simple plan.
When he asked Dr. Girlfriend (who seems to have shucked off her Dr. Mrs. The Monarch persona for some reason) if she trusted him, I thought I was going to die laughing when she hesistated, clearly thinking "Not really" and then finally hedged her answer just a little.

Ironically, with her DG persona she's clearly second in command; as DMTM, she herself set herself up as a less-effective sexpot. She doesn't need the cleavage and the wings to prove her helpmeet worth. Besides, the DG costume matches the cocoon, so why reject what works?
And after all the accidental kills, shouldn't she demand that he regain her trust by fully carrying out a bold and cunning plan?
Which he did. Against the big-brained JJ Venture, the lepidopterist goods and Fucking Brock Samson his own self. Not too shabby, if I say so myself....

Yea I was kinda wondering about Sheila's costume change too. It's nice to see her in her classic outfit but I have to wonder whether it was a conscious change or just a way to make animation easier.
A lot of these kind of situations are often pondered as plot-specific but turn out to just be animation short-cuts (such as the dream version of Triana appearing in the wedding madness in Cremation Creek)

Being as she didn't do much other than...sit down...I'd say it wasn't to make animation easier. :-) Triana slipped through because it was just a second long. This is the whole episode. Also, in Sea Cow, she started off in her new outfit and eventually changed to the classic one when it was time to take action. I think it's pretty clearly deliberate...she may be reverting back to her classic role in more ways than one.

You're right, I think. The ending of Sea Cow made me think of her classic uniform as her "serious" uniform. She can wear the new one when she's playing around, having fun, arching for entertainment...but when it's time to really bust heads, she's the pink pillbox all the way.
One thing's for sure, they're keeping us guessing...even about things as silly as costume changes. :-)

When you get punched in the forehead by someone who can throw a punch, you see the fist coming once. Then you don't see anything.
But Brock was suspending him in the air: that blow kills by snapping the head back, not by crushing the skull. So it is possible, though not likely, that Scott is still alive.

Dr Girlfriend/Mrs The Monarch was close to leaving the Monarch. I thought that was what the Dr Girlfriend uniform was about.
Neither costume is particulary suitable for wear during hand to hand combat, in reality. But the realities of fighting seem a bit more distorted in a slightly more unrealistic direction than some of the other things in the Venture universe.
Did I hear JP and DH mention that they were pacifists once? That might explain it. I would like to recommend that they learn a bit more about the realities of violence. It is much easier to satirize something that you actually know about and understand.

When was she close to leaving the Monarch? If anything, the Monarch's refusal to not arch Rusty only made her realize how passionate he is (in Tears of a Sea Cow) and now she seems totally on board with the whole idea - helping the Monarch find a guild loophole that will let him raid the Venture compound legitimately.

I find it hard to believe that no one has mentioned the Robot Chicken Season 11 finale with the Venture Bros Season 8 scene at the very end: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKH-J3f2RkM
