We recap the Apple TV+ series Central Park season 3, episode 11 recap, “The Puffs Go Poof,” which contains spoilers.

Central Park season 3, episode 10 continued the streak of the series lacking focus. With that being said, we saw Owen (Leslie Odom Jr.) and Paige (Kathryn Hahn) hone in on their relationship with their kids by trying to secure their tickets to see their favorite band in concert. While it was a fun episode, I hope we are back on track with the Mayor and Paige’s book this week. So let’s dive into episode 11.

Central Park season 3, episode 11 recap

It looks as if the episode will follow Fista Puffs, Molly’s superhero comic she has made. We get a montage of Fista Puff battling out with a supervillain shortly after getting her hair done. Middle of the story, Paige interrupts to find out if she wants to come down for The Chat and Chuck. Apparently, The Chat and Chuck are discussing your clothes and finding out what you keep or don’t. It sounds more complicated than it should be.

Bitsy throws pens at Helen while just trying to hand her a drink. Bitsy has a meeting with a content creation team because Bitsy searched her name on the internet, and there was a ton of negativity. So Helen suggested she hire a team to try and alter the image. Seriously, I love these two so much, and they are a weekly delight when they are on the screen.

Back into the world of Fista Puff, where she has a TON of hair, which she wants to change but finds out that if she does change, she might lose some of her powers for good. However, she goes through with altering her hair. We see Fista go into battle vs. Dr. Splash in the water, who cannot save them because she can’t get her hair weight.

One side note here, the editing on this episode caused a MASSIVE headache. I understand we had three storylines at once, but my goodness, how they did it was such a disaster.

The meeting with the content creation team goes about as I would want it to. The trio of creators is modern-day social media people, and Bitsy is completely confused by everything they say. It breaks out into a song, highlighting what they will do to change the algorithm in favor of all the top searches being good things. An entire series based on Bitsy and Helen needs to happen, seriously.

Central Park season 3, episode 11 ending

We return to the battle, where we hear that Fista Puff can’t make any changes because it will shift things forever. So she is forced with a decision. Next, The Chat vs. Chuck is hilarious between Owen, Paige, and Cole. At the same time, Cole is the smart one and can decide to throw things away. First, however, Paige struggles to part with some of her stuff. Then, Owen tries to latch onto the old shorts that should be thrown away. Although the idea is simple, I thought the entire writing of this story was well executed.

All of this leads to a song that everyone partakes in with the message of being okay with yourself. Then ultimately, Fista Puffs can take down Dr. Splash for good. While the episode did veer off the track, it did have a strong message within it.
