To me, it wasn't out of character for Wynonna to shoot Holt. Wynonna has grown in many ways since s1, but growing doesn't always mean positive. We grow angry, we grow bitter, we grow tired, we grow hard. And that's happened with Wynonna. She was dealt a shitty hand from the

beginning because of Wyatt Earp and everything that curse entailed. She's had to make tough choices that no one else has had to make. She accidentally shot her dad, dealt with everything that came from that and Willa's abduction. Then at 27, she becomes the heir to the curse,

which she was never supposed to be. She was finally reunited with the sister she thought she had lost, only to realize that there was no saving Willa and had to put her down. Before she knows it, she's pregnant, and it was never something she planned or even wanted. In the midst

of all of that, she's still fighting revenants and demons. In the end, she has to make the selfless decision to give up her daughter because she knows as long as she is still cursed, she can't keep Alice safe. Then, her mentor, her friend, someone who she had some romantic

feelings for is killed right before her eyes. Once again, she's lost someone else as a result of the curse. She connects with her mother, but it's hardly the best mother-daughter reunion and she finds that her mother's secrets are putting her and her loved ones in more jeopardy.

She's also dealing with the father of her child becoming a vampire, for both selfish and selfless reasons. In the middle of it all, Mama Earp ups and abandons them, her, to find Julian instead of staying there with her children. Kevin further breaks her by suggesting that Waverly

will have to die for the world to be saved. And more than anything else that happens to her, the threat to Waverly is the hardest. We see that when she breaks down with Waverly. Once Bulshar breaks the curse and he is slain, she has a brief sigh of relief in believing that it is

all over. Then, in the blink of an eye, the garden takes away that hope by taking her baby girl and Doc. She gets back to Purgatory and everyone else she loves, save for Nedley, is gone and she doesn't know how or why or what she will do to save them. She has to bear this burden

all on her, and be the one who saves Waverly and Doc, because as Nicole said, it's always been her, she's the only one who can. She gets Waverly and Doc out of the garden, and she probably thinks, 'Finally. Finally I can breathe'. Only to discover, 18 months of her life and their

lives have been taken from them. There aren't revenants to deal with anymore, yet Purgatory is somehow worse now than it was before. There are demons now and human monsters. Human monsters who are carrying a grudge for her family for things she had nothing to do with, and who

have further destroyed her home. These human monsters who nearly killed her sister, her best friend, and other loved ones. And, as she finds out, were going to buy her daughter from Rosita. She's learned time and again that you can't take anyone's word, much less the word of

someone who is intent on destroying you. Doc made the deal with Holt, not Wynonna. She didn't break any promises. Holt may have seemingly agreed to a cease fire, but the damage was already done, from all of his family's actions to everything from her past, and for Wynonna, the

only guarantee she had that Holt wouldn't change his mind and jeopardize her family once more was by putting him down. She needed that peace of mind. She needed, if only for one second, to believe that her loved ones were safe. She is tired, she is angry, and it is a burden to be

the hero, to be the one who has to make the right decision all the time. And she made the decision that she thought, at the time, would keep them all safe. She will likely regret making that choice, but in that moment, she did what she felt was right and given everything she's

been through, the lengths to which she will go to protect and save her loved ones, it is not at all out of character to me that she did this.

It's hard to see our hero do this. It's hard to see her broken and seemingly so far from who she was. But this is the person the world has made her into, for better or for worse. She will have to deal with this. We will have to deal with this. But I don't think we can

say it's out of left field or out of character, just because we don't agree with it, when everything has pushed her to do whatever she thinks will keep her loved ones safe, no matter the cost. She was bent until she couldn't bend anymore and she broke.
