Stuck with Hackett - Season 1 Episode 9 Hackestivus!
Hackett is at one of the saddest places in the world: an abandoned WWII munitions factory with nothing left but toxic waste and the barest bones of obtanium. To bring some much-needed cheer to his gloomy surroundings, Hackett creates a holiday for himself — "Hackestivus" — and decides to celebrate his holiday by making a fireworks show that will put July 4 to shame. First he has to find his fuel (charcoal) then an oxidizer (unnamed for legal purposes!) to mix it with. Once he's got his volatile mixture, he builds a water cannon to ensure he can contain fire. With his safety assured, Hackett takes his fireworks to the next level, extracting colors from metals and building his first set of fireworks: gerbes (fountains) and mines that will rain stars from the sky. For the piece de resistance, Hackett uses a popular kitchen staple to create a rocket, then heads to a hilltop to build his detonation system — as well as a 'surprise' firework that even the lawyers aren't aware of. But with daylight fading and Hackett needing to get his fireworks set before dark, it's a race against the clock to see if Hackett will get to have his show — and bring a festive close to "Hackestivus."
