Stray thoughts
1) So, they’ve done a DNA test and it is Willa. Dolls basically spelled out my train of thought at the end of the last episode. There are two heirs now. But Wynonna is more concerned about Willa as her sister, and the fact that they simply assumed she was dead and stopped looking for her. But how were they supposed to know? They were just little kids dealing with a lot of shit.
2) How old was Willa when she was taken, though? I thought she was eleven or thirteen. Can a girl that age really forget everything about her identity? I mean, if you’re traumatized enough I guess you could forget. But everything?
3) Who are these two idiots letting out?
I immediately got the feeling they were like mermaids, luring them in so that they could take advantage. But these two dudes deserved to die – they knew they shouldn’t make eye contact and yet…
4)
Seriously, though, how can she not see it?
5) What is a Poker Spectacular?
6) I don’t know what these are…
…but they look as if they were taken out of a video game.
7) I love that in her opinion this is a good enough reason to try to burn down her classroom…
She fucking handcrafted little papier-mâché demons…
8) Well…
…the judge did say the hotel was to die for.
9) Oh, wow, their parent doesn’t seem like the most stable influence in the girls’ lives…
He was training her but he was so aggressive about it, and he was drinking and shouting at her. Now it makes more sense that he would strike up a deal with Bobo, for some reason.
10) Of course, Doc’s car broke down. He wouldn’t know how to fix it…
And I think the dude who stopped to help him knows what’s what in Purgatory. He could totally tell why Doc was sending him to look for the keys over the mark – to check whether he was a revenant or not.
11) Oh, ouch. Waverly didn’t deserve that…
WILLA: You kept my death certificate.
WAVERLY: Yeah. To remind myself it was actually real. You know, that you were actually gone. I was 6, right? I saw the little white coffin, but I knew that you weren't actually in there. They'd filled it with sandbags.
WILLA: Was it a nice service?
WAVERLY: All I remember was a lot of crying. And the food. The grown-ups let me eat as many marshmallows as I wanted. I threw up all night long.
WILLA: Gee. That must have been so hard for you. I'm sorry. It's just it's really intense. You guys killed me.
I understand how Willa feels, but she’s making Waverly and Wynonna feel responsible for something they couldn’t have possibly been responsible for! Waverly just mentioned that she was fucking 6 years old! And Wynonna was how old? 10 or something? They were kids. None of the decisions that were made regarding Willa were their responsibility! They just had to deal with the consequences of the decisions made by the grownups. It’s a bit unfair because they were all victims.
12) Oh…
That doesn’t make things better…
13) Wynonna is feeling insecure about her being the heir. It kind of reminds of Buffy and Kendra, in a way. Wynonna saw the curse as a burden, but even if she didn’t allow herself to admit it, it makes her feel powerful and worthy, and it gives her a sense of purpose. Now that Willa is back, not only could she be replaced, but she may find that someone else is better at her job than she is. Willa also mentioned earlier how Wynonna seemed to hate having to do the heir’s work, and I know that on the surface, that’s what Wynonna claims. But we know that in many ways, becoming the heir saved her, and she actually enjoys kicking bad guys butt. I always find this type of journey absolutely fascinating – Wynonna did start as a reluctant hero, but I know she wouldn’t want to be anything but a hero now… Can’t wait to see where her journey leads her.
14) omg she sounds like me!
Also, was she able to shake the glamour off because of her heir status or was that just a Wynonna thing?
15) Are they going to bite Doll’s dick off? Weirdly, I think I’d like to see that.
16) Oh, Dolls, you dirty pig…
17) Me, talking to my students…
Has Doc found his soul mate? They are like two kindred spirits.
18) Juan Carlo? Really? That’s possibly the most ridiculous name they could’ve come up with. That being said, I really like his conversation with Doc and what it could mean for the story. It seems that J.C. – I’ll call him that – is part of some sort of PTB group and they’ve decided to interfere. He warned Doc about the fact that in four days the doors will open – I’m guessing some kind of Hellmouthy doors – and that if that happens, it will be the end of Wynonna. He urged Doc to face the darkness with Wynonna by his side. Tbh, I think he just ships them. But it all sounds super promising either way.
19) Well, she is an Earp after all…
20) Uh-oh…
WILLA: He told me I had nothing to worry about, to just stay calm. He knew the attack was coming, Wynonna.
21) She most definitely is an Earp…
22) Willa is not messing around, though…
WILLA: I'm sorry, maybe I'm unclear about this whole curse thing. There are revenants; there are Earps. The Earps - that's us by the way make sure all the revenants get a bullet to the brain from Peacemaker, or die trying. Am I missing something?
DOLLS: Yeah. Civilians. And as far as human witnesses are concerned, you just shot a random person in a bar.
WILLA: Ah! In Purgatory, that's old news.
DOLLS: Yeah? Well, that's the type of thing that can get Purgatory on the wrong side of the nuke.
WYNONNA: She didn't know. I made the same mistake.
WILLA: Wynonna, why are you listening to this buzzkill in army boots?
DOLLS: Buzzkill?
WILLA: Yeah.
DOLLS: Buzzkill? I'm a U.S. Marshall with Black Badge, you hear me?
DOLLS: He's been helping us.
WILLA: You mean, you're following his orders, and not your own instincts.
DOLLS: Aw, come on.
WYNONNA: We're a team.
WILLA: I thought I was the brainwashed one.
23) Excuse you?
WILLA: We were two peas, you and I. It's always been you and I.
WYNONNA: Yeah, I remember.
WILLA: It can be like it always was. And different too in all the right ways. You're not alone anymore.
I really was expecting Wynonna to tell Willa she hadn’t been alone because she had Waverly. I feel personally offended by this.
And I don’t know how I feel about Willa. Something’s off about her – and it’s not the I-was-kidnapped-and-lived-my-whole-life-in-a-cult thing…
I’ll have to trust my girl Waverly on this one. There must be a reason why she was afraid of Willa touching her…
24) Yes, Bobo, three Earp girls…
25) Why are they being attacked by S.W.A.T. or something? I don’t understand!!!
26) Dolls is fucking badass, though, he just picked that grenade and threw it out the window!!
27) So much is going on and I don’t understand any of it!
28) Did that asshole just shoot Waverly???!!!
29) Now I can get behind this!
30) Ugh Waverly was shot and Willa couldn’t give two damns and now Wynonna is torn between her two sisters!!
31) WTF!!!!
Why did Bobo save Willa???
32) And Willa saved Bobo???!!! What the fuck is going on??? What does this mean? Does it mean that the attack was actually Bobo trying to protect the girls’ dad and Willa? Was that the reason they took her? Was it all a set up? I don’t understand!!
33) I remember this quote!!! Someone sent it to me when I play the “making fandoms collide” game…
Is Wynonna that thick, though? When will she figure it out? Does she need Waverly to spell it out for her?
34) And the SWAT dudes were after Dolls…
35) Will Willa fall in love with Bobo? I think I might want to see that…
36) So the judge sent those dudes… and now Bobo wants the judge to throw him a party?
37) NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Do not fuck with Doc!!!!!!!!!!
38) This was definitely an interesting episode, shaking up the sisters' dynamics with the arrival of Willa and setting up a lot of stuff that I hope will come to a head during the finale, which is only two episodes away! I can’t believe I’m almost done with season 1, but I seriously can’t wait to see how they wrap up this season!
39) Hope you enjoyed my recap, and, as usual, if you’ve got this far, thank you for reading! If you enjoy my recaps and my blog, please consider supporting it on ko-fi.Thanks!
Gus: It's pretty obvious who you like, Waverly. Doc: It's pretty obvious, she likes you back, Waverly Wynonna: So, are you and officer Haught best friends now?
