BRUH
Okay I f*cking LOVE this episode, dude.
First of all, as messed up as everything Araya did was, I kind of don't hate her, because it was exactly what she said--a test. And Scott passed with flying colors. And it sucked, and I hated that she put our teens through that, but she knew what she was doing, and it worked, and it got us answers.
Plus, it gave me the chance to just continue to appreciate how protective they all are of each other, and how loyal they are, and how they just have each other's backs no matter what.
Like, everything between Kira, Scott, and Lydia was so good. I obviously love Malira (apparently lol), but I also still love Scira, and the absolute guilt in Kira's eyes, but the continued encouragement and support from Scott, and the way he just kept locking eyes with her and telling her that it was okay, because he could handle it, all while Lydia just kept looking at him worriedly, but knew he was right--so many emotions, but so well done and so well shot.
Meanwhile, Stiles and Malia were downstairs, and Malia was doing everything she could to focus on the conversation, so Stiles got down close to her and did such a good job of turning his own panic and worry into something encouraging for her (random aside to acknowledge the fun little energy of the earlier scene with the four of them when Stiles had to remind Malia that we don't leave friends behind--"Believe it or not, that's progress." XD XD). And then the fact that kissing him is what got her to concentrate, so then she was able to focus on the conversation, and fill Stiles in, and now they're all on the same page when they finally do get out. Like, Stydia is still my OTP, but I am kind of digging the energy between Stiles and Malia, not gonna lie. That said, I also don't see it lasting, and I don't really want it to, but I'll allow it for the moment lol.
AND THEN! The "reveal" (I'm putting that in quotes because it's not a reveal for us, but it is for the pack lol) was SO well shot and SO well done and just everything about it was so good, and honestly? I kind of like Araya. Like, her methods are extreme and unorthodox, but she clearly follows the code, and I respect her for that. She's letting our heroes go so that they can hunt down the people she considers significantly more immoral than our pack (because KATE certainly is for crying out loud), and she's letting Scott go because she can see that he really did earn that Alpha status completely on his merit alone, and I appreciate that.
Anyways. Braeden's taking us to maybe hopefully Kate (as an aside, I freaking LOVE that X Ambassadors song that came with Braeden's entrance and that was extremely well used), and this is either gonna go really well, or really poorly, but our pack is together, and everyone's more or less okay, and I will take it!!
Man this is a really good episode. I'm so glad I finally started Season 4.
(I don't think this is from this episode but it is a gif of all five of them and that's what I wanted so...yay McCall pack! <3)

i thought ml was pretty cute tbh and the concept is interesting but they keep like. going back on character growth & destroying it which was Irritating 💕. the fandom is fun though
hahaha yeah as far as i’ve heard from my friend who’s into the show the order of episodes is so ambiguous that the timeline of events is now literally impossible, i could see the linear cause and effect necessary for character progression not really being in their wheelhouse. and hey i may not get it but i’m glad people are having fun

DANG IT GRANDPA REWRITE???
If, if you don’t mind me asking. How about. K1-B0,, I wanna know how you’d rewrite him so bad,
THE PEOPLE DEMANDED IT AND IM HERE TO DELIVER!!
the keebster……. one of my favorite boys in the whole world……..
i would definitely want him more visually robotic (if thats even possible lmao), but also more sleek and modern, i personally just like the visual aspects of very smooth android designs idk shrug
honestly not sure how much i can say on the front of “being okay” since im only at the very beginning of chapter four, but as for his character i actually like what they did with him. we love an inhuman being trying very hard to understand human nature and fit in. also something something neurodivergence metaphor
