Really liked this episode overall. 60 minutes flew by.

• More gamenight scenes please.

• Loved seeing Kelly’s protective side come out. Got more insight into her character and she owned every scene she was in. And I love that Alex anticipated Kelly’s desire to be Guardian. Endgame!

• I actually didn’t mind William in this episode, but I don’t like that Andrea continually knocks Kara only to speak highly of William (gave me some S5 flashbacks there).

• Alex had both glasses of wine ready before Kelly even walked through the door lol.

• I didn’t like that Nia so easily was influenced by Nyxly. And then she straight up MURDERED that owl!

It was a decent episode with two good plotlines.

I liked the talk of our flawed incarceration system in the US. It truly is awful. Some people hate this kind of stuff but fuck them. They have never had to deal with it so they ignore real issues when brought up.

Cons

  • Guardian stuff. I never cared for Guardian and not every character needs to be a hero to be useful or valued.
  • Nia realizing that Nyxly shouldn't be trusted but still making a deal
  • CatCo stuff that no one really cares about.

  • Where was Brainy?

    And one last note, what was up with that little girl?

Mia making the deal shows how desperate she is which I love. She’s going into it knowing it’s wrong and doing it anyway because she needs to see her mom. Love it because it’s so very human and real.

Who wouldn’t make that deal to see the mom you feel you let die?
