#loner round

Ding dong! The witch is dead. Blake showed up as soon as he heard the echoing burp from within the workshop. He almost fell asleep waiting out there, but Circe was ultimately defeated by the most basic need for sustenance.

Faith told him to take a sip from the cowplant's udder once Circe was swallowed and while initially he felt grossed out by the idea, he was too excited about his oppressor being gone to be picky.

Turns out vengeance tastes like a plant-based milk. It made Blake feel rejuvenated, but also weirdly thrilled about "liquidating" people who cross him...

For some reason Blake would always get distracted during his morning bath and could never remember to wash behind ears properly. Who knows why.

The Spring weather was in full power on Saturday, so Virginya could finally use some of that sunlight to play outside. At least until one of the neighbours didn't show up in his coincidentally unsettling work uniform and started harassing her.

Thankfully, daddy Blake rushed to the rescue and dealt with the creepy neighbour with a painful prank.

When Ajay wasn't around, Faith showed up to further discuss the plan to deal with Circe Beaker. She mentioned something about an old warehouse and cows, but Blake didn't really get any of it. In the end she just explained they will need to bait the woman to a specific location in Strangetown and he'll find out everything there.

They arranged the "plan" for Sunday, so Blake just had to wait and make sure he doesn't get into any more trouble in the meantime. He was too excited to sit in place, but luckily taking care of Ginya was a good distraction.

Virginya was proud to present her dad with another A+ report card from school. He couldn't wait to rub it in Ajay's face once he returns from work. He was so doubtful about them being able to raise a child well and now look at them having a child genius.

Since Ajay went to work and couldn't be there, Blake had to step up and help Ginya with her homework. It went as good as one can imagine...

They might've half-assed it a little, but they finished and got to enjoy the rest of the afternoon in peace.

In the meantime, Ajay didn't have a good day at work and the last case made him literally lose a brain cell.

He still ended up with a promotion, though.

With Blake gone until late hours, Ajay was growing really worried about his husband disappearing like that. He said he was visiting his mother, but strangely refused to take any of them along.

He was starting to worry Blake had another encounter with Circe, before he actually returned safely in one piece. Not just that - he looked even healthier than before.

Blake then went on to spend the rest of the evening playing with Ginya as if nothing happened. He could finally sleep well at night, knowing they're going to be safe.

The husbands finished the week with a woohoo, with Blake still feeling full of energy from the drink. Ajay assumed Olive must've used some witchy magic or special herbs to invigorate him like that, but ultimately did not complain.

With the Loner round finished with a twist, next week goes to the Goths in Pleasantview.

Circe was trying to leave the workshop for hours. Eventually she realized no one is responding from the outside and guessed the two must've just left her there. If only she could figure out how to open the door from the inside, she could just escape and ruin their lives.

Or... she could satiate her growing hunger with a large piece of cake, instead. The smell of food was very alluring after hours of being locked up in a workshop. It made Circe lost her logical thinking skills and completely ignore the fact, that it was coming from inside a cowplant.

Before she realized what's going on, Betsy swallowed her whole and let out a satisfied burp.

While his family was enjoying their lazy Sunday, Blake drove all the way to Strangetown in hopes of finally dealing with the pesky Beaker woman. He met Faith near an old workshop as planned, but not before making sure to leave a trail for Circe.

It didn't take her long to follow, once again underestimating Blake and hoping she could get him back for some new tests. She needed a new subject for her fertility research and seeing as he messed with them a lot lately, he'd be perfect candidate.

Unfortunately for her, Blake wasn't in the workshop. Instead, she found herself surrounded by monstrous cowplants someone's been growing in secret.

Before she realized it was a trap all along, the door were locked shut behind her. The two were having a time of their life listening to Circe demanding to be released and Blake couldn't help taunting her from the outside.

Blake: Oh, how the turns have tabled. Who's the Nervous Subject now?
