A slightly tangential and somewhat forgettable episode, which nevertheless achieves a very effective balance between showing Alex as a typical kid and showing Alex as a great hero, thus underlining and cementing his status as a great kid hero. The Staff of Set is the first of many rather annoying MacGuffin artefacts that I feel the show could really do without, but at least this one is not overused.
