6.8/10. I wasn't feeling this one so much. The episode was about unlikely pairings, and while they had their strong points, the episode succumbed to one of my familiar criticisms, a lot of the episode felt somewhat disjointed. Dr. Venture and The Monarch being paired up was amusing enough, but the henchmen were the real stars of the show there, from them making their own music for their grand reentry into henching, to #24 showing off his superhero paraphernalia in the guise of a weapon's closet.

Brock and Phantom Limb made for a surprisingly entertaining pairing, with the two of them having a grudging respect and even rapport with one another given their shared resourcefulness and effectiveness despite being on opposite sides of the line from one another. And Dr. Girlfriend and the boys were a slight if generally amusing pairing as well, as Hank & Dean wondered how she knew so much about them.

The episode did have some very nice comedic touches, like the extra low crotch from Dean's "speedsuit" getting caught in the escalator, or Hank's excitement at his own terrible driving. But overall, it was a bit hit or miss.
