Ep 5. Justice Desserts

In season 1 episode 5 of Future Man, titled "Justice Desserts," we see Josh, Tiger, and Wolf travel to the year 3491. Their mission is to steal a device that will allow them to travel back to their own timeline. However, once they arrive, they realize that the only way to obtain the device is by competing in a deadly game show called "Justice Desserts."

The game show is run by a charismatic host named NAG (Neil Armstrong Garlactus). He explains that in this game show, the contestants must complete a series of challenges that are meant to represent the "seven deadly sins." Each challenge is based on a dessert, and the contestants must consume the dessert in order to move on to the next round.

Josh, Tiger, and Wolf are initially hesitant to participate in the game show, but they realize that they have no other choice if they want to obtain the device. They team up with an unlikely ally, a contestant named Blaze, and begin the first challenge.

The first challenge is a chocolate cake that represents the sin of gluttony. The contestants must eat the entire cake in under two minutes. Josh, Tiger, and Wolf are all able to complete the challenge, but Blaze is unable to finish the cake in time and is eliminated.

The next challenge is a strawberry shortcake that represents the sin of envy. The contestants must steal the center strawberry from another contestant's plate. Josh, Tiger, and Wolf are successful in stealing the strawberry from a different contestant, but NAG declares that they did not steal it from the assigned contestant, and they are penalized for their mistake.

The third challenge is a cherry pie that represents the sin of lust. The contestants must seduce a professional dancer in order to get a piece of the pie. Josh is able to successfully seduce the dancer, but Tiger and Wolf fail to do so.

The fourth challenge is a lemon tart that represents the sin of pride. The contestants must compete in a dance-off, and the winner gets a piece of the tart. Tiger and Wolf are able to win the dance-off, but Josh is unable to participate due to an injury he sustained in the previous challenge.

The fifth challenge is a blueberry muffin that represents the sin of sloth. The contestants must ride stationary bikes to generate power for the oven to bake the muffins. Josh, Tiger, and Wolf are all able to generate enough power to bake their muffins, but Blaze, who was brought back into the game after another contestant was disqualified, is unable to do so and is eliminated once again.

The sixth challenge is a banana split that represents the sin of greed. The contestants must steal toppings from each other's banana splits in order to create the ultimate dessert. Josh, Tiger, and Wolf are all able to add toppings to their banana splits, but they are once again penalized by NAG for stealing toppings from a different contestant than the one they were assigned to.

The final challenge is a chocolate fountain that represents the sin of wrath. The contestants must fight each other in order to be the first to dip their dessert into the fountain. Josh, Tiger, and Wolf are all able to fight their way to the fountain, but in a surprise twist, NAG reveals that only one contestant can win the device. The three teammates must now fight each other to determine who gets to travel back in time.

Overall, "Justice Desserts" is a hilarious and action-packed episode of Future Man. The game show setting is a clever way to showcase the characters' strengths and weaknesses, and the challenges are both hilarious and heart-pumping. The final twist is unexpected and leaves the viewer eagerly anticipating the next episode.
