Krystal being a youtuber makes so much sense

This is my own personal "what the heck -- oh, yeah, all of the clones are played by the same actress" moment:
Seeing Krystal open the door and totally come on to Tatiana's real-life boyfriend just completely floors me every single time. I never get tired of it happening, but the fact that it keeps happening after five seasons makes me feel giddy about my own silliness. |

welp. susan's dead and ira is probably dead too (thank god the castor line is finished, i've hated them since they were introduced; susan was ok tho, even if she was neutral evil).
i said it from the beginning that westmoreland was a total fraud and oh look. i need delphine back for the last episodes, thanks. only four episodes left to go ... never thought this day would come. |

I really loved this episode! It was the perfect example of how they can include comedy whilst still making sure that it's relevant to the plot.
Krystal is always an absolute blast but she was really on her game this episode. I love her jab at Sarah, "Is she actually necessary? She is so rude, every single time." I love that even though Krystal is a little misguided that she still always comes through with information that the others haven't figured out yet. Though in this case Delphine had figured it out, but still, Krystal has skills. I absolutely loved Krystal kicking Len's ass. Not because she understands what is really going on but because he didn't watch her vlog, called her stupid and then, but because his cream made the bunnie's hair fall out. Poor bunny. And rubbing the cream all over his beard was genius! Get him where it really hurts. Krystal is brilliant. I'm a little bummed that we'll never see her again and she'll never meet the other clones, but she was still awesome. Loved seeing Art and Scott again. Nice to see Sarah taking a step back again this episode and having Krystal get involved with the main action and Mrs S reading up on the info Delphine has found. I looooved Mrs S standing up for Delphine and trusting her and it was good to see Sarah trust in Delphine because of that as well. Delphine wasn't even in the episode and she was being helpful. Is this why Mrs S and Delphine couldn't have their chat in S3? Look at how much they've gotten done since teaming up. Poor Cosima being locked in the cage for most of the episode and then when she is released she nearly gets attacked by the angry people at Revival. I like that she used her words this episode to convince Mud and the others. Though seems like Mud was less than convinced sadly. It makes me sad for Mud that she knew what PT did to Yanis, what he was going to do to Kira and the other kids, she knew that his 'cure' killed Aisha and then she still tried to save him in the end? No Mud, you could've been better than that. I guess PT had to live a little while longer. But back to Cosima, sooo glad she and Charlotte were able to escape relatively safely this time. Guess we know why Cosima's parents were mentioned last episode. I love any kind of interaction with Cosima and Charlotte. Look at Ira pulling through for Cosima in the end! Way to go dude. I've never minded the Castor clones tbh and Ira was pretty harmless. I didn't care for him and Susan romantically, but the two of them dying together (Kind of) was really sad. I am confused about his timeline though. I thought Susan rescued him from Yale or whereever but then Coady said Susan separated Ira from the others when he was 4? Either way, it makes their romantic relationship even more gross. Still, I'll miss Susan. She really did seem to care for the clones, even if she was misguided. So dramatic of PT to leave Susan to die in the greenhouse with all the plants that he let die. I'm curious why PT and Coady didn't try to leave the island. What is there for them now that the people of Revival are revolting? And after Coady said that Ferdinand somehow captured her from the Castor base only to sell her to Susan I'd be surprised if he wasn't Mrs S' source. I dislike the idea of him being helpful, even if he's just doing it as revenge against Rachel, but it sounds like something he would do. Though if Ferdinand was the one to give Coady to Susan, why didn't he know where Rachel was sooner? Overall really loved this episode. Looks like Helena and Alison are back next episode, and Gracie too! I wonder if Mark died or if the baby Gracie had survived? I can't believe there's only four episodes to go. |

LONG LIVE THE GLORIOUS CASTORS. They at least add more to series than Cosima the sudden boat expert. Luckily it looks like Delphine is absent from next week too, we have more pressing matters after all. Trying to determine when Helena's big focus hour is (best episode left out of the four I'd wager). I think it'll be the penultimate episode. I guess a fraud is easier to take down than an actual genius. |

Gracie's abortion happened all the way back at the beginning of Season 3 when her mother kicked her out. With Gracie back, I'm hoping the show will allow her or Helena to get some revenge on that **** mother. |
