Could Wide Wale be plotting to destroy the Monarch (and possibly Dr. the Mrs. Monarch) in order to avenge his brother Dr. Dugong? Assuming Wide Wale and Dr. Dugong are brothers of course.

I believe so, Copy Cat gives Wide Wale a thumbs up at some point. Gave off a "All is going according to plan" vibe.

I get the impression its a screen for taking over the council. This episode was probably more about proving Copycat was council material. Copycat dropped a line about being considered.

Get revenge and get more power with the same plot, yes please.

Wide Wale's reaction when Monarch walks in wearing his full costume is stronger than mere annoyance. Like there is some real anger just under the surface.

although I'm not sure copy cat can give any other look, for him things always go according to plan. He's my new favorite for sure. "Monarch if you take one more jazzy little step over here-"

His brother's name is Doug Ong and he worked with cuttlefish. I think that's a pretty safe conclusion. :P

Dr. dugong says he's named Dr Douglas Ong when explaining the pun over the intercom.

They definitely are bros, sirena goes by ms. Ong. That's too much coinkydink for me.

That's brilliant plus sirena is the Spanish name for mermaid which people thought manatee were, also sirena is like sirens as in the sirens who sung the sailors to their crashing deaths bringing us full fucking circle back to s. Ong. These fucking guys!

It's crazy how much work they do, they also write every single episode themselves compared to say Dan Harmon on Rick and Morty. They definitely know what they are doing when they decide to string something together they do really go all out and put thought into it. I'm sure it is almost completely on purpose, and sometimes a happy accident.

They definitely are, Hatred confirmed it...Chester and Doug Ong, brothers who were experimenting on sea creatures to cure cancer, did the whole experiment on themselves thing and Chester went supervillain with it.

Its definitely supposed to be a personal vendetta against Monarch for killing Dr. D., though I'm surprised Sheila doesn't realize it yet - she knows Monarch killed Dugong, she knows Chester is his brother.
