This episode was formidable, just like our witches.
I loved everything about it!
Let me start with Abigail and that speech. I was hoping it would take that turn. It was great to see her acknowledge their dynamic and their progress. Beautiful.

And then Tally. I really enjoy how we& #39;re seeing her truly struggle with what happened in ep 8.
We see that even a trained soldier like Anacostia is struggling with Alder& #39;s decision. So it& #39;s only fair that Tally is taking it so much harder.

Moving on to Petra - I loved her scenes. I& #39;ve always wanted to see more of Petra (and to see her be a better mother to Abi, which I feel like she was this ep). I can& #39;t wait to see her fight for control more. She& #39;s much more...

...military-minded than Alder herself, and bringing her into a higher position of power could then, for the show, signify going deeper into the military aspect of this witches society. And I& #39;m all in for that!

Which brings me to Sarah. I was very disappointed with her last episode, but this week she was great! I loved getting to understand her a little bit more and finally seeing how she remains in power.
So far, this is what the show was missing for me...

I needed more of an explanation to the whole "Alder is super powerful and has been in charge for 300y"
And we& #39;re finally starting to get it - from the trailer it looks like we& #39;ll learn more about her past too! I& #39;m so excited!

I can& #39;t wait to see her authority challenged further and her fighting for it. And I really want to see flashbacks (might not happened but it& #39;d be so cool!) of her childhood. Show us how it was like for witches, what Sarah& #39;s pov is when dealing with all this.

And finally, let& #39;s get to that heartbreaking #Raylla scene. Beautiful. The talent, woman, the talent!
Broke my heart, but I love how they& #39;re using the angst. It& #39;s not just for the sake of it, there is sense and logic to it. Of course Raelle...

...can& #39;t just believe and forgive Scylla.
Girl lied to her and was gonna give her to the enemy. Not so easy to just get past the terrorist thing either!

But I love that we see the complexity of their feelings. It& #39;s not even a question...

...whether they still love each other, of course they do, but love is messy and complicated and it doesn& #39;t always mean you can be together.
I adore the evolution of their love story.

And yeah, I didn& #39;t talk about Anacostia & #39;cause I could write an essay about how much I love her and not be done.
