Stray thoughts
1) “Don’t talk about my partner’s ass” Hearing Doc say those words in regards to Dolls gave me so much joy!
2) So, Black Badge indeed no longer exists, at least not in the same shape and form as we knew it. They’ve cut Dolls, Purgatory and the Earps loose and they are now left to their own devices. If they’re not a government agency, then what are they? Who else would be interested in fighting the supernatural institutionally? Anyway, the dude told them that when Doc freed Dolls, other things escaped, too.
3) Who or what are these women? Are they widows? Is that why they dress in black?
4) So Wynonna is pregnant. And she’s also in denial mode. I get it, I mean this was definitely not part of the plan. I mean, she really doesn’t have a plan per se, but you know what I mean. She’s refusing to deal with this right now, but who are we kidding? That’s not something that you can really postpone dealing with. You have to make a decision either way. Also, is Doc the father? I’m trying to remember if she slept with anyone else after that, but I think she didn’t? Or is this like a supernatural pregnancy? And what about the goo? Did the goo affect the baby? Is Wynonna going to have the baby? And if she does, will it be an actual baby or are they going to turn it into a Connor? So many questions! I am really interested in seeing where this show is headed with this storyline…
5) To distract herself, Wynonna goes begging Nicole for a case, but there seems to be no supernatural activity lately. Well, except for…
6) So, there are rings and they’re talking about wives and husbands, so they must be widows, but whose widows are they? They’re looking for the location of a seal, and they mention Bobo and the Stone witch, none of whom are available. And when they mention Juan Carlos, they mention that they’re not strong enough to face him. Huh.
7) Hypnos? And the Creepster is asking for more time for the Widows (yes, they are widows, I got it right!) Does this mean this Hypnos guy will hypnotize everyone in Purgatory? Will he turn back time? Make time go slower? He’s doing something alright…
8)
DOLLS: We are free agents. Free to make our own rules and to pursue our own objectives.
DOC: Welcome to the club. I've been here a while. I'll show you what areas are off limits.
DOLLS: Well, that's my point. There are no areas that are off limits anymore.
ME:
Seriously, though, last time we saw them they were getting along just fine, so what happened between then and now?
9) So, this is what was happening…
DOLLS: Hey, Wynonna. You wanna grab coffee with me? There's something I wanna discuss with you that's personal.
WYNNONA: Yeah, sure.
Does this mean that Dolls and Wynonna will be a thing? I truly can’t accept that Doc/Wynonna are over? How? They were even barely started!
10) Okay, Waverly just suggested Doc is the baby’s father… This can’t be the end of Wynonna and Doc. I’ll Calcutta bitch!
Even though I agree with Wynonna in that it is her situation and it is up to her who to tell and when, Waverly does make a great point that it’s not fair to either Dolls or Doc not to let them know about her “situation.” I’m guessing Wynonna is going to handle it in true Wynonna fashion and it’s gonna be messy.
11) Oh, Nicole and Waverly are so beautiful and hot together?
And I’m super glad they addressed this because it was kind of tormenting me not knowing whether Waverly was really Waverly when they were together while they were possessed…
NICOLE: You taste like my Waverly again.
WAVERLY: What's wrong?
NICOLE: I was just thinking how much of the other times were you, you? You know, because you said things, and we did things, and I don't know what was real.
WAVERLY: No. It was all real. Okay? It was all me.
NICOLE: How can you be sure?
WAVERLY: Because I don't remember much about when it was in control. But I remember every second I was with you. Each touch. Every kiss.
12) I guess Hypno dude just put them all to sleep?
And the timing couldn’t have been more perfect for Wynonna, she was really dreading the “personal” conversation with Dolls. But why? Is it because she doesn’t see him in that way? Or is it because she truly does and it scares the shit out of her? I’m guessing it’s the latter, but I don’t want it to be. I have nothing against Dolls, but I love Wynonna and Doc!
13) I guess the Widows did get some time. A few months, actually…
Damn, this means the choice to be pregnant or stop the pregnancy was taken away from her.
How did people survive, though? I mean, Wynonna was covered in dust, and all the food is rotten, which means that time literally went by, it’s not that they just fastforwarded…
Also, damn, their breath must be AWFUL!
14) They need to take drugs to keep themselves awake, but Wynonna obviously can’t take any… and Dolls is making heart eyes at her, and I just realized he still hasn’t seen her baby bump…
15) “The whole town has been asleep for weeks.” Okay, exactly how many weeks? I need to know! So they kept up the whole town asleep this long by threatening with hurting Poppy, who is… Hypnos’ daughter? Lover? I have no idea. But now that Wynonna is awake he can’t make her and the gang fall back asleep… She’s too strong. Damn straight she is!
16) And if people stay asleep too long, they’ll never wake up. Cool. Cool cool cool. Waverly’d better fucking hurry up and wake up Doc yesterday!
17) What are these bitches doing to Wynonna? They’d better not hurt the baby!
18) And this is how Doc fell asleep…
19) Jeremy just woke up and went straight to business. The second seal is apparently in Shorty’s, so they’d been sitting on it this whole time. The problem is that the Widows stole all their plans and research and probably know this already.
20) And Dolls just realized Wynonna is preggers…
I’m guessing now the million-dollar question will be asked – who’s the father? Wynonna insists that nothing has changed and that she can still kick some evil ass, but… that’s probably the last thing in Doll’s mind right now?
21) And this is everything I didn’t know I needed in my life?
A pregnant lady kicking ass? HELL YES!
22) Okay, Poppy is Hypno’s daughter, and the Creepster has obviously taken her to rape her, so Hypno agreed to help Wynonna if she makes sure his daughter is safe, which I think it’s something Wynonna could relate to.
23) The Widows just fucking froze Waverly and Doc? Are they going to eat them up?
24) Bless Nicole, she’s been tracking the Creepster’s phone because she knew he was gross and evil. Bless Wynonna for her reaction, too.
25) Well…
Then he says she’s amazing and tries to save face or a bit of his ego by saying she’s an amazing agent, yeah, right.
26) Please let Jeremy save the day. Pleasepleaseplease.
27) He so didn’t.
28) Oh my God, the fucking Creepster is asking Poppy to role-play as Waverly before he rapes her? PLEASE SOMEONE MURDER HIM!
29) Ugh, Nicole, why would you shoot him in the shoulder and let him run away? Straight between the eyes! And what the fuck else did he do that will get him killed? Worse than what he’s already done?
30) The Widows managed to break the seal, but there’s a third one…
31) And this is how Wynonna told Doc about the baby…?
He’s all teary-eyed, omg, is he happy? Sad? I guess there will be one relationship in his life with strings after all, and I’m not talking about Wynonna. But damn, he didn’t handle the news well, he just walked away and didn’t say anything…
32) So… no time has really passed except for the baby… How convenient for the plot...
33) Damn, Dolls just shot Hypno in cold-blood and forced Wynonna to off him. He’s truly butthurt about the baby, isn’t he?
34) Doc wrote a note for Wynonna. And Jeremy knew Wynonna was pregnant all along hahaha!
35) Clootie?
Oh. This is what he did. He killed Clootie.
36) Damn, this whole scene…
WYNONNA: Am I a screw-up? Yeah. I've also been on two types of birth control since I was 13 years old. But the universe doesn't give a damn. It's never given me a choice, it's never… not whether I wanted to be the Heir or a m… a mother.
WAVERLY: I know you're overwhelmed, okay? But not everything is because you're an Earp.
WYNONNA: Yeah, it is. It always comes back to the curse, Wave, always. I really, I… I can't do this.
WAVERLY: Hey.
WYNONNA: No.
WAVERLY: Hey.
WYNONNA: This poor asshole!
WAVERLY: Hey I'm not saying it's gonna be okay. But I'm just saying I'm here.
I’m just, wow. There are so many things that I love about this scene and this plot and what it means for Wynonna. First of all, I’m so glad it’s not a supernatural pregnancy and that it wasn’t the result of rape – magical or otherwise. It’s the result of consensual sex, which is sadly unprecedent in supernatural shows. Think about that for a minute.
There’s the question of choice, too. Wynonna didn’t choose to get pregnant nor did she choose to remain so. I doubt she would’ve ended the pregnancy, but the fact remains, she was deprived of that choice. It’s easier to understand her initial denial and reluctance to discuss the pregnancy in light of this final scene. It’s sad but I think it has to do with the fact she doesn’t think she’s fit to be a mother. Wynonna handles herself with a lot of bravado and self-confidence, but most of the time, it feels as though she’s trying the old “fake it till you make it” strategy. She’s deeply insecure and she thinks very low of herself. On top of that, she’ll be bringing a child into this supernatural mayhem that it’s her life. She’s fully aware she’ll be putting a burden on her child, In a way, she fears she’ll be doing to that child the same thing that has been done so many times to her – depriving them of choice.
I’m just very intrigued as to how they’re going to deal with this pregnancy, and I can’t help but wonder again – will there even be a baby or are we facing a Connor situation? There has already been one time-jump, so it’s possible there’s another one…
37) Aw, Doc, this is why I love you…
He’s all fucking in!
