First love - or first infatuation - overwhelms Indy in Vienna, where he is smitten with the daughter of Archduke Francis Ferdinand. Needing emotional guidance, Indy consults Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung to discover what love is all about. In Florence, when Indy's mother is equally smitten with Giacomo Puccini, composer of Romantic operas La Boheme and Tosca, Indy must guide his parent safely back to her spouse.
Production
Freud and Jung bickering like rival podcasters is accidentally perfect.
Costume
Turn-of-the-century Vienna looks expensive for a TV edit.
Acting
Corey Carrier's earnest confusion sells the entire premise.

Director
Bille August
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was stitched together from two separate Young Indiana Jones episodes, which explains why Indy's mom gets her own romantic subplot that barely connects.
The real Franz Ferdinand's actual daughter died in infancy, so the 'princess' here is complete fiction—making Indy's heartbreak historically impossible, which feels fitting somehow.
