#All the sweetness he could have had with Nandor if he was his sire right in front of him 😭

okay okay I do in fact need to scream more so uhm I'll give the big thing first:
this is the 'oh they're falling in LOVE with each other' moment, the one where all the audience realizes it too, it's clear as fucking day and it's very much not just platonic and the way Nandor looked at Guillermo is still ruining me
Guillermo carefully but firmly saying Nandor is sabotaging himself. Nandor thinking about it and admitting he's afraid and FEELING BETTER when Guillermo says he'll be there beside him instead of scoffing at the idea.
Marwa is just all the fuck over Guillermo, threesome fics when?
Nandor stepping away from his own wedding reception, not even dancing with his bride, to give Guillermo a moment of pure unguarded affection and gratitude and even dignity-!!
It was so fucking much it was perfect it was everything. Even the fighting at the beginning was everything. Even the - fuck they have CANON ROMCOM MOVIE DATES that they REMINISCE ABOUT.
BUT everything wonderful happened this episode like it's not even the Nandermo of it all even though it fully is.
SEANIE AND CHARMAINE just fitting in perfectly to the insane reception, I'm a 'Sean has an idea of what's going on' truther and since the only hypnosis was for them to not freak out and to not remember at the end of the night the way they blended was just. Pure delight.
I am also a Baron/Sire truther and the affection the Baron had when saying he taught the Sire English was so sweet. Even if they're platonic housemates, time clearly has not been friend to either of them, I'm so glad they have family in each other now.
Rejuvenated Baron is serving IWTV energy as bisexual as ever and I approve highly.
Nadja and the Guide being nice to Guillermo, the Guide empathizing with him right away, the freaking shopping montage!! The Nadja/Guide prom pic! Everyone giggling on the floor like idiots! Nadja/Guide and Nandermo comparisons omg pls hook up before the season is over!
Guillermo seeing that being a vampire alone is actually fucking horrible and (heart of the series, Memo my beloved) inviting Derek, including him in the world of people like him. Because none of this shit means anything if you don't have people to share it with. Make friends with him Guillermo wtf, he seems fun and nerdy and you need friends your own age, a fledgling vampire does in fact count.
I've already gushed about the Djinn's gift to Nandor but like, the sheer kindness of that when both he and we thought it was over is making me ascend.
Cannot WAIT to see where this shit with Marwa goes, I feel like they could do better writing her but making her kind of a blank slate was meant to lead to this moment. Also, she likes the things Nandor likes now - that includes Guillermo, and presumably fighting and horses and his favorite colors and whatever. But is 'liking what Nandor likes' going to mean liking Nandor? Because it's very possible that it won't.
Best episode of the season and one of the most episodes of all time, the way The Escape and The Casino are, it just does not miss once.

All of it so good! I spotted the freddie writers i think broken up in a few credits (theyre freelance so makes sense). Clearly death threats worked…dont learn from that.
If somehow ur reading and dont get spoilers coming well they are so its on u at this point. Random thoughts below
*Loved Derek’s fashion choices! Also his lil bat jazz hands flourish srsly a+.
*Nandor…incorrectly…thinking its Guillermo’s bday and throwing him a dinner and buying him a gift was very sweet…despite being book ended between insults about never turning him and Nandor not seeming too worried if he died
*my sis and i clocked right away how he wouldnt let guillermo sit next to him at guillermos special fake bday dinner. Nandor u ho. U make him reas u bedtime stories AND brush ur hair but wont sir next to him cuz horny? I refuse to believe any other reason
*WHERE IS THE HELL HOUND?! I MUST HAVE THE HELL HOUND! And i will be angrier than freddie ep if hes gone.
*is it weird Guillermo went to you…gene and the sire for turning advice after learning its forbidden? Also im choosing to believe this is a new superstition cuz they didnt seem arsed by it
*rip neighbor dude. Ppl are right its plot holey look its still the freddie writers in there ok?!
*sooo much bad turning in these two eps it was srsly keystone cops style and i was laughing my ass off despite being like derek irl
*nadja u bitch. Making nadjita dance and show her pussy is MEAN! You drunken slut. I dis enjoy taint that can write checks tho
*another plothole: it always seemed nandor was as shit at laszlo as hypnosis and i always took it of all 3 he was the worst (nadja the best). Animal control anyone? Well now he gets to be a pig amongst guinea pigs he’ll brag of this forever
*’cuz his brains fucked’ had me rolling. Also laszlo u liar u hypnotized him when trying to kiss him got u nowhere
*i was off my face w drug blood was also a good line
*colin didnt do much here but his waiter job and greek bit were great
*i am glad despite pussy showing nadjita has more movement finally
*laszlo has no god damned right to look that tasty
*the shit and fart jokes were mostly flat. I was waiting for laszlo to say he thought guillermo was hitting on him or something. That said seems we get jealous nandor next week and thats all i want
*poor guide, poor sean. Mikey u cunt
*the quebecois thing delighted my sis who studied there (france ppl hate ice right? But $8 wine is primo so u know)
*poor guillermo. Hes clearly a slayer vamp hybrid and very sad about it. Cant wait to see Nandor learn this. Also u will never convince me he could kill guillermo. Other than his eyes watering Guillermo has beat his ass like a rented mule twice now. Cheating or not (i say not)
*seems death threats also made note of make nandor better cuz hes followed a hippy self help book. Its kinda sweet cuz thats where his minimal kindness to guillermo comes from. I dont believe he ever through benji a bday dinner let alone convinced the others to come along
*colin seems aware hes been out of the job game for awhile but makes no indication if he knows why. Laszlo treats him basically same as always and vice versa

Things in the "Pine Barrens" ep I loved (spoilers obv):
- Laszlo telling Baby Colin to use Siri to prove him right in an argument with Nandor
- Baby Colin chilling with Sean during the day because Laszlo and Nandor are sleeping
- The girls night is fucking LIT they are having the time of their LIVES, and most importantly Marwa. I think Nadja even has a line about Marwa needing to experience other things outside of Nandor (I may be wrong though)
- Guillermos family is so cute but you can also start to get a picture of how he ended up as a perpetual familiar. He definitely has a somewhat subservient/perpetual little kid dynamic with his family and he struggles to speak up for himself, although not as much anymore
- Guillermo is wearing VERSACE. HELLO??? (he may also be wearing a Gucci tracksuit at the start of the ep)
- Guillermo is just SO SWEET with his family he's so proud to finally have them over for dinner im-
- NADJA PAINTING MARWAS NAILS NADJA PAINTING MARWAS NAILS
- The girls watching Mamma Mia and Nadja being so pumped about it. She's reliving Greece through Meryl Streep
- She also says Laszlo doesn't like to watch it because it reminds him of all the children he sired and then left when he was a human (which taking in his current parental role with Baby Colin is so interesting to me)
- Nandor and Laszlo are having tension pretty much from the very start of the ep but Nandor seems most taken aback when Laszlo says Sean is his best friend. And he keeps getting excluded from their interactions 😢
- Nandor gets concerned about having firearms in the house with Baby Colin around 🥺 and when he tries to tell Laszlo he shouldn't be messing with them Laszlo brushes him off and that seems to be the final straw that leads into their fight
- My babygirl Guillermo was hiding so much over the years that he felt like he had to lie that Nadja was HIS WIFE. And when cornered, Nadja actually GOES ALONG WITH IT for seemingly no other reason than to help Guillermo??? She could have just slaughtered them all, hypnotized them into forgetting her, but no. She plays along!!!! Because they're friends!!!!!!
- PS. I think at one point she even lies to make him look better by saying he's actually her boss???
- de la Cruz family having natural slayer instincts theory CONFIRMED!
- I may be reading too much into this one but Guillermos abuela says when a de la Cruz gets near a vampire your heart burns and you get goosebumps and then it cuts straight to Nandor. I am connecting the dots on how Nandor and Guillermo met because there's no way Guillermo didn't feel something similar (he's probably just gotten used to the sensation after all this time and didn't think it was weird). Again I may be overthinking but that sure sounds like a sensation that could be mistaken for love at first sight and also its giving strong vibes of when Nandor said he had already found love and then it cut straight to Guillermo
- Nandor and Lazslo fighting in front of Baby Colin also gives big 'my parents are a week away from a divorce' energy
- Nadja actually really loves Guillermos family! She asks them how such lovely people raised such a boring person (im paraphrasing cause I couldn't really hear)
- Guillermos face after he comes out I will never recover
- Also the fact that as soon as everything about the vampires comes spilling out he also comes out - like I know we (sort of but not really) joke about vampirism/the monstrous being a metaphor for queerness but hoo boy. this one really got me
- His family was more annoyed that Guillermo wants to be a vampire than him being gay I love that for them
- Nandor is really going through it man. But he's also becoming so protective of Baby Colin. I just want to hug him 😞
- Nadja has another moment of real sympathy with Guillermo based on her own family that she can't see anymore. This was truly an episode delving much deeper into the individual characters' insecurities and histories of how they came to be the way they are
- I also think she has a line about how Guillermo has a puppy dog face when he wants something but it's more effective on Nandor and she thinks it's gross
- Nadja wants to have more girls nights and wants to watch Mamma Mia 2!!! I hope Guillermo joins their girls nights cause she only requested that Nandor Lazslo and Colin be out of the house
- This entire sequence between Guillermo and Nadja (in a talking heads confession TOGETHER! BESTIES!!! it's everything I wanted from them in London)
GUILLERMO: Now they know I'm gay, so...
NADJA: I mean, who isn't gay???
GUILLERMO: Lots of people.
NADJA: (sarcastically) Oh ok, woo-hoo. I'll get the confetti(?) out, sorry.
GUILLERMO: (rolling his eyes in the gayest, bitchiest way possible) Shady.
I love them so much it's insane.
- Baby Colin teaching Sean about Roblox - this can only lead good places

I can't believe I thought it was a good idea to watch the finale right before I had to leave for work. How am I supposed to function right now without thinking about everything that happened? That ENDING? GOOOOOODDDDDD.
Just processing my thoughts under the read more... ignore me... also lots of spoilers, like all the spoilers.
I'm just like... what am I supposed to do now? How am I supposed to deal with no new episode next Friday and for months and months and months. Agony. It's agony in my soul.
I love how we all were just like immediately like Colin's gonna like regenerate or whatever, like there was no way that he was just outta there for good. It broke my heart seeing all his pictures just torn and crossed out in the intro, just like their thing with immediately getting new portraits done when someone dies and completely forgetting them, so they did the same thing with the intro photos. Which makes me wonder if they had other vampires in the house that they just vanished from their lives and never talked about again. Like if this is a normal regular thing for them to get these new portraits done, then they would have had to go through that before, unless it's supposed to be like a vampire thing, like culturally all vampires have done this and they just stick with the tradition of being like emotionally constipated and not dealing with death, which like... I mean like they are kind of traditionalists in terms of being sort of disconnected from the larger vampire society sometimes, since like the vampire council had the whole like in memoriam thing at the play murder trap thing. I don't know, would be interesting to find out there were like other secret members of the house that just died and they never talked about them again.
Gosh and just like Lazslo being all broken about Colin dying, and like then they were going to go be vampire royalty in England and he was going to go with his darling lady wife Nadja and then found baby Colin and like made a plan to not go with her. Like he had the time to write a letter and buy supplies for Guillermo not to die on the trip, like actual human food/nutrition stuff, and not raw chicken, and then got all the way there without reconsidering, like it wasn't some split second decision, I mean it was but it also wasn't and that he like is "entrusting" Nadja's protection to Guillermo, even though Nadja is also a ferocious murder machine who could definitely hold her own against Guillermo, and I'm like excited to see what that duo is doing next season. She is gonna be pissed. Gosh but she and Lazslo had been so sweet, and his like speech to her about leaving England because of what the club said about her, and they just have always been together and she left for two weeks and he didn't eat and was writing poetry and like what the heck is single dad Lazlso and weird nasty baby Colin going to be up to next season. Like honestly though a baby as an energy vampire is like the ultimate energy drain though, so that works, but also he probably is going to age nastily fast, so that will be interesting.
It was also fun that they brought the Baron and the Sire and the dog and the guide into the portrait too and they were part of the little family, and so cute.
And the guide bringing the farewell card to nandor that the wraiths had all signed. They don't know how to write so I dipped their claws in ink and just let them go to town on it. Like she obviously went all the way back to the council amidst all this to deliberately get this card signed for Nandor which I think was pretty cute, even though she's probably also more excited just to have this mess kind of moving on from dealing with their chaos, but it shows she also like kind of cares about them too.
And Guillermo. And Nandor. Oh. My. God.I mean not even talking about the ending, just like. I am processing. Like.... what am I supposed to do with myself after that.
Guillermo running after Nandor when he like runs off upset when Nadja argues with him, trying to get him to talk about Colin's death, and then trying to girlboss Nandor to stay talking with Lazslo and Nadja and Nandor is just like nope, I'm going and you're not coming with me. I'm leaving to leave you too. You're a problem. And Guillermo is just like full panic mode like wtf am I supposed to do with myself if you leave me. I devoted twelve years to you. And then Nandor going after Guillermo when he
runs into his room all pissed, and like Guillermo going into Nandor's room for this confrontation too. And the fight! Agh! It was just like... I mean you could see they were both holding back, trying to get their point across and like I liked that it didn't feel like either of them were really like hurt by being launched across the room. Like they could just have a little fun wrassling to get some energy out and Nandor was like this is what I've been missing, someone that fights for me, that gets me feeling this passion and energy and fight and like Guillermo giving it back. Honestly I got a little worried when Guillermo was holding the crucifix and Nandor said like, this is what I wanted or whatever he said there because for a second I thought he was saying like he wanted Guillermo to kill him and I was like uhhh hang on but then he kept going and it was like oh... alright okay.
And like Nandor basically just fucking proposing to his little rascal boy and on your knees on the banks of the tigress river, I'll turn you into a vampire like fuck are you kidding me? Like goddamn. And then Guillermo's just like alright see ya bitches I'm out with my Nandor... and ahhhhhhhh. I'm going crazy. There'll be plenty of time for hugs later. What Why What
And Guillermo being a little pouty puppy when Nandor didn't want to take the luggage and Nandor just like just kidding of course I'll take it. WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME
I am not even like processing the ending and the ramification of alllll that. Like Nandor waiting and calling out for Guillermo before getting on the train alone and just like feeling abandoned again leaving Guillermo's luggage there like Guillermo didn't really want to come with him, he like put himself out there and thought he was going to give Guillermo what he wanted, promising him they'd have the world together and he didn't show up, and Nandor just taking that as a rejection and leaving. And Guillermo all trapped and desperate and panicked just wanting to get back to Nandor because he knows what this will do to Nandor, knows how fragile the truce they'd made was and that the progress he'd been clawing for was slipping out of his grasp.
I am like.... I don't even know right now. Where is season 4. Where. Why did this season make me so insane. I've been watching this show since the end of season one and it laid a big fat colin egg in my stomach that finally emerged this season to absolutely smash me through my mushy skull.
