One thing I kept going back to is the moment when Delilah told Bell's Hells' snidely the only reason Laudna was notable was that Laudna just happened on Delilah's path, that it was Delilah's fate she was intertwined with and Laudna had little consequence to that.

Delilah kept insisting on speaking for Laudna but Chetney wouldn't budge, he wanted to hear from Laudna herself.

And when Imogen finally reached Laudna, the broken relief in Laudna's voice but also tiredness and resignation. She's been down in this hole alone with Delilah for 30 years with only Imogen and the rest of Bell's Hells breaking the monotony.

The Bell's Hells is there to get her, and Laudna's unstated but clear asking for help.

The scene also reminds me of a favorite moment in The West Wing

Leo McGarry: [after Josh finishes an intensive therapy session set up by Leo with a trauma therapist, Josh walks past Leo in a nearby hallway of the White House]  How'd it go?

Josh Lyman: Did you wait around for me?

Leo: How'd it go?

Josh: He thinks I may have an eating disorder--

Leo: [bemused]  Josh...

Josh: --and a fear of rectangles. That's not weird, is it?

[pause] 

Josh: I didn't cut my hand on a glass. I broke a window in my apartment.

Leo: This guy's walking down a street when he falls in a hole. The walls are so steep, he can't get out. A doctor passes by, and the guy shouts up, "Hey you, can you help me out?" The doctor writes a prescription, throws it down in the hole and moves on. Then a priest comes along, and the guy shouts up "Father, I'm down in this hole, can you help me out?" The priest writes out a prayer, throws it down in the hole and moves on. Then a friend walks by. "Hey Joe, it's me, can you help me out?" And the friend jumps in the hole. Our guy says, "Are you stupid? Now we're both down here." The friend says, "Yeah, but I've been down here before, and I know the way out."

[pause] 

Leo: Long as I got a job, you got a job, you understand?

Are they... you know... Engaging in Some Piggy Back?

With Imogen's design speaking so heavily of Indiana Jones, both O'Connells and Lara Croft, I'm gonna be a little sad if it turns out she’s not an archaeologist who unearthed something a wee bit cursed that gave her sorcerous powers.

You know what I honestly love before episode 30+ stuff happening?

The window we get into Imogen and Laudna’s domestic life. The tiffs they get into, as people who live together like the curtains and cups one. One Laudna (and Marisha) felt particularly passionate over (LOL. Matt’s face.)

Honestly, I want more of this stuff after we get resurrections and angst, the little things that tell you they know each other, and have lived together for years.

I would love that as a treat!

I wonder if Laudna will have a jumble of identities coming out of this -- like the Tree Cage!Laudna still seems to be our Laudna but also now we know canonically Laudna was not her name but her mother's (I think?).

When and why did Matilda take her mother's name?

Also, was the kid offering Matilda a secret really dark and evil? Could it be possible that that was Matilda/Laudna's real warlock patron?

Plus, FEARNE CALLOWAY COMING IN CLUTCH.

She wasn't gonna fail Laudna again!

And as I understand it, this is the third time Laura Bailey gave Delilah a critical hit and got the How Do You Wanna Do This?

That was so tense.

MATTHEW!

I love when Imogen has a horse girl moment, especially when the horse in question is a Eldritch Tunneling Squid

Imogen and Laudna are that 'scary guard dog privilege' meme where one girlfriend is gothed up and intimidating

[mollywauk]

Imogen Temault? What a name
