The first impression I got from We bare Bears was a nice modern day return to their old style, more modernized, yes, but, less overly surreal like Regular Show and more nicely simple like Dexter's Lab, also talking animals among a human community like Cow and Chicken.
As I watched it, it was a bit like a rollercoaster actually, there were episodes that weren't very good, Grizz using terms like "cray-cray", non-ironically, Pandas attachment to his phone, even taking pictures of his food, the problems of the modern world encouraged, there were also some episodes which were unnecessarily distressing like 'Panda's friend', getting stuck on a window washers platform that breaks.
Between this, there's the wonder of the unwritten rule that only Ice Bear says his own name, but there were also loads of great stand out episode like 'Bear Cleanse', making use of the actual characteristic's of them being bears, all the new characters they met, then there were really exciting and touching episodes like when the Poppy Rangers escape the cave, or when Darrel gets rescued at the wedding by the lady flying with his invention, and then, there's this episode, 'Hurricane Hal'.
Opening with Professor Lampwick as the narrator, 
I was really glad to see him play a part in a 2nd episode, his first episode, sharing his name, as most We Bare Bears characters into episodes do, also stood out for me showing all the different kinds of tones of episodes the show takes on. Him being focus for the villain with the evil kind of English accent. So in this episode, he narrates and says it's a story about "how everything is connected", something that might be obvious to you, or might not, but if it is, you may still not know how...
So each of the bears has their separate story with one of the recurring characters, Grizz with Ranger Tabes, Panda with Charlie and Ice Bear with Chloe. Sure the first thing you're really going to notice is that it's a crossover of their recurring characters who usually, when they appear, have the whole episode focused on them. It feels as though that is the first thing they want you to notice, but it really can't be the thing you take away, seems like the obvious thing to, but it can't be.
So Grizz and the Poppy Ranger are making kites when the titular storm Hurricane Hal hits and they get back inside, but Wallace 
doesn't want to, the wind would be perfect for it, but when she tries to, she gets blown away by the wind and Grizz and the girls have to get back out and save her. Then Charlie gets himself and Panda safely inside the car, Panda still only tolerating Charlie as usual, and he keeps letting more of his animal friends from previous episodes in and Panda gets more and more uncomfortable. Then Ice Bear and Chloe come out from ice skating, Chloe is affected by the storm and gets a cold, they go safely into the sewers but soon find they're on a train track.
So Panda, Charlie and the ever increasing number of animals topple the car down the cliff soon and Ice Bear jumps for a ladder, Chloe nearly catches but misses, then Lampwick narrates again, saying how things are all connected by invisible threads and they "might just save your life". With this, Hurricane Hal very much blew me away, obvious joke intended, I was more blown miles further away than Wallace was, there's nothing on how far blown I was.
But yeah, things all being connected, so you probably aren't likely to find yourself in such dangerous situations in real life, things aren't likely to go this wrong, and if they do, you're leading a very exciting one. So a perfect episode to watch if you're feeling your life is becoming bit too mundane, as a side quality. However, you can very much feel those invisible threads must be there, of course knock on affects are a real thing. For those who are religious, they always say the Lord never gives us more than we can cope with, those who aren't religious can probably still understand that, whatever happens, we can handle it. Do those who aren't religious believe in Guardian Angels at least?...
But you can connect it to things you've been through.
Disasters do of course happen and it can be easy to think we won't be able to resolve them, but, I'm sure many of us have noticed that things do always work out for the better, and soon we realize these things and come to terms with them.
In this episode, this is shown by Panda in the car crashing the overhead cables which cuts the power, thus stopping the train before Chloe is killed. An over-dramatization, yes, but it is often the truth that things work out, resolve, come together just in the nick of time like that, Parkinson's Law, just at the final second. There might not always be something you yourself can do, not that can stop it directly at least. Whatever invisible threads you are saved by in real life, of course they might not be directly comparable to this, but we can all tell there are some, existing in some form.
But, we aren't always able to resolve disasters ourselves, we sometimes need help, we can't say how this all works but we have survived in the world for a long time against thick and thin.
This episode shows the above so beautifully, puts you on the edge of your seat. I guess the way it's showing it is that, a hurricane, big enough to cause problems, also big enough to create solutions for them, big enough for said solutions to be distant, because that's how solutions often feel. And so, connecting everything are "invisible threads", little things that can lead to bigger things. You just never know what the things are, that are keeping you safe, leading you to be in or stay in the right place even perhaps, or whatever else, but I'm sure often, a lot of us can sense they are there and feel just what this episode is telling us. If problems can be created, they can be resolved.
Obviously though, you can't always rely on this, but this episode isn't telling you this, it's just telling us you can feel safer knowing this.
Concluding the episode, Grizz gets Wallace back down, the storm ends, everybody is OK, Chloe and Ice Bear climb back to the surface and Lampwick concludes by saying that "everything is connected, all you have to do is look". It's hard to think of specific examples but yeah, this episode does make you think, if you look, you can sense them, then you'd notice, realize how you are being kept safe, looked out for...
I said "WOW!" 3 times after seeing this episode, utterly in awe, and no other We Bare Bears episode has stood out to me at that level before.
