8x01-8x03, Re-Watch Part 2

8x02:

Okay, at the beginning of this episode, we see a group of saviors working at the Sanctuary. One of the workers is wearing bright yellow coveralls. I don’t know what this character’s name is, but he’s played by Lee Norris, who I recognized from my high school/One Tree Hill days. He’s basically bullied by other saviors, and then TF shows up and starts shooting at them.

So, because of the yellow coveralls, I’m thinking this guy is a Beth proxy, but I’m not sure what the point is here. And actually, this happens more than once in this episode. The female savior who bullies him also seems to be a Beth proxy at one point. She has a green strap of some kind across her chest, probably from a purse or bag she’s wearing.

That caught my attention because we saw the exact same thing with Spencer at one point back in S6. With him, the reason for it is much more obvious: during that sequence, he tried to escape, failed, and lost his shoe. So it was part of the lost shoe/foot symbolism, and he could be paralleled with Beth because he was trying to escape the community on his own and failed, which is what happened with Beth at Grady. Overall, he was more of an anti-parallel to Beth than a parallel, but it still works.

Here…I’m just not sure what the point was. The dude in the yellow coveralls only shows up one other time, at the end of episode 3, and is shot by Daryl. I wanted to see if he was still wearing the yellow coveralls at that point, and he isn’t. He’s taken them off by then. So I don’t think he’s a Beth proxy anymore at that point. They’re really not trying to tell us that Daryl shot Beth or will.

And, you could see him as a parallel to Beth in an EXTREMELY broad way: he’s kind of a prisoner of the Saviors. He’s there because he has to be, not because he wants to be. He’s bullied by them in the same way Dawn bullied Beth. But this really doesn’t lead to some significant character arc or moment of enlightenment, so I’m not sure why they put this in.

Same with the woman and the green strap. She’s kind of an evil, bullying Savior. She just basically takes some shots at Aaron and Eric and Scott when they show up, and then partway through the battle, she gets bitten by a walker and dies. So, even if she’s an anti-parallel to Beth, what’s the point of this symbolism?

It did occur to me that maybe she represents Dawn, rather than Beth. If you think of the guy in yellow being Beth. Well, in the end, he is shot and left behind by Daryl. In this case, he really died, where Beth didn’t, but it may work in terms of the symbolism (or anti-symbolism). But then this woman would be in Dawn’s role as the one who was supervising/bullying him.

And in case you think maybe, in this one instance, I’m reading into the colors too much and that’s not what it means, there are also dialogue clues around these two. When they talk in the first picture above, she has a water bottle. He mentions “a dozen” (walkers, I think) and she gets mad at him and tells him to go pack up the coolers. So there’s a lot of things pointing to these two being Beth proxies.

But overall, I think this probably points to something in the future with the helicopter people that hasn’t happened yet, and so we just don’t entirely understand it. It will probably make sense when the symbolism is paid off.

This is small potatoes, but at one point, Aaron gets into one of the cars and mows down a bunch of the Saviors to help save Eric and his people. This just struck me as another instance of Aaron being a Beth proxy, especially as this sequence leads to Eric’s death, which is DEFINITELY a parallel to Beth. But he doesn’t die in this episode, so more on that later.

Here we also get Tara, Morgan, Jesus and Diane at the satellite station.

They find Dean in the closet, who tries to kill Jesus.

This is also where we first meet Alden. We actually have another death fake out foreshadow for Morgan here. He and several other Kingdomers are shot by saviors inside the outpost. I think the idea here is that the bullet hits Morgan’s body armor, but like Kevlar, being hit by a bullet is still akin to being hit with a sledgehammer, even if the bullet doesn’t pierce your body, so it knocks him out for a moment.

But we have this moment where everyone else has left (left him behind) and his eyes suddenly open. He stands up admist the dead and keeps going. So that’s what we think happened with Beth but it’s also what is happening right now in FTWD.

Carol and Zeke and Jerry are heading toward another Savior outpost. Not much to say about this part in this episode (more in later episodes) except that we see walkers who are affected with the hazardous chemicals for the first time here. Once again, we don’t know exactly what this points to, but we’ve seen a lot of the theme of water being poisoned lately, and the satellite falling in S10 has a biblical/wormwood connotation to it. And we know the helicopter people are purifying water. So you can see how this might foreshadow something in the future with them.

Also, Jerry uses orange golf balls to leave a trail and point the way toward where they’re going. That kind of screams Beth’s participation in the helicopter story line, doesn’t it?

Oh, also, I had an insight into Shiva here. I don’t know if I’ve been super clear about this in the past, but I do think Shiva = Beth. Lots of reasons for that. She’s always had a Zeke vibe about her (because she’s his animal, so that’s not surprising) but remember that in terms of the couples, Zeke is very like Beth (positive, hopeful, faith-filled, etc) while Carol is more like Daryl. So naturally, Shiva would be that way too. I mentioned that Shiva showing up in 7x16 struck me as a Beth thing, because for a long time many of us have suspected that Beth will kind of show up as TF’s secret weapon during a fight and help save them. I honestly think we COULD see the fulfillment of that in 10x16, whenever it gets here.

But back to 8x02. Quick recap: Carol and Zeke’s group shoot a bunch of Saviors but one of them gets away and is out ahead of them. They’re pursuing him because they’re afraid he’ll get to the outpost before they do and warn the Saviors there that they’re coming. That would be bad. They’re going for secrete ambush and don’t want anyone to be warned.

They nearly catch up to him, but in the end, they don’t actually kill this guy. They don’t have to, because Shiva shows up and does it for them. They look ahead and see Shiva pounce on him, which means he’s dead and can’t warn the outpost anymore.

The insight I had about this—which really just reinforces that Shiva symbolically = Beth—is that this happens next to a bridge. They literally reach the bridge and you can see the sign behind them when Shiva arrives and takes care of business. So there’s the Bridge aspect, but also another example of Beth showing up to save the day in some way.

And of course we have Rick and Daryl searching for guns in this episode. This building they’re in has TONS of Beth symbols. Omega signs in the background, pink carpet, they climb an elevator shaft, and of course they find Gracie.

Now, there was TONS of conjecture that maybe Beth had been staying here before and taking care of Gracie or something. I considered the idea at the time of course, but I no longer think that’s the case. This all seems highly symbolic to me and like it foreshadows something with the helicopter group.

I’ve talked before about Rick arriving at the helicopter group and Beth already being there, right? So Gracie could represent Beth in that way. Daryl also sees the handcuffs and dog food in one of the rooms, which suggests a prisoner (Beth being a prisoner to the helicopter people) and a Sirius character.

And, I gotta say, while I haven’t really seen a lot in the past of Daryl and Rick looking for Beth in the helicopter group together, they did go into this place together looking for WEAPONS, so make of that what you will. It’s hard to say how far the metaphor extends.

Interesting to note that just before finding Gracie, Rick fights with one of the Saviors and they crash into a shelf full of matches and flares. (Symbolism brain imploding over here.)

And of course this is the famous scene where the blue heron painting is scene behind Rick in the background JUST AS HE’S SEEING GRACIE FOR THE FIRST TIME. Yeah, I really think him finding Gracie here foreshadows him finding Beth in the helicopter group.

And finally, we have Morales. Yet another example of Rick entering this place and finding someone he hasn’t seen in years and didn’t even suspect might still be alive. But more on that in episode 3 when they actually get a chance to talk.

So here’s my biggest new take away about Morales, guys. Before, I was mostly fixated on the fact that they brought him back 7 seasons (from S1 to S8) after he disappeared. So saying it’s been too long for Beth’s return just isn’t viable. But here’s what I’m realizing now. Remember the 8 next to Beth. All the 8s around her and Rick, which I think signifies that she’ll appear 8 years after disappearing in Coda (in other words, where we are now in the narrative)? Yeah, they brought Morales back in S8 guys.

I’ll show you more about how Morales = Beth in 8x03 rewatch stuff tomorrow.

let’s talk: the clone wars rewatch!

This week is the second half of season 1 starting with s01 e11 (Dooku Captured).

There are 12 episodes in this half (11-22), with each episode being around 22 minutes each, which means around 4 hours, 40 minutes worth of clone wars. Bellow the cut is a list with summaries of the episodes in case you dont want to rewatch but still want to talk about some episodes. (Courtesy of Wookieepedia and my brain’s recollection):

Dooku Captured (s01 e11)

Having allowed himself to be captured, Anakin is rescued by Obi-Wan Kenobi onboard Count Dooku’s ship. The two then go to apprehend the Count. Dooku escaped in his solar sailer with the two Jedi on his tail in a transport shuttle. Direct hits on the solar sailer forced the Count to make an emergency landing in a wilderness on the nearest planet. When the Jedi suffered a hit from a droid fighter, they were forced to crash land, as well. In a nearby cave, the two Jedi began to hunt for Dooku, but he ambushes them by causing a sudden collapse in the cave ceiling, causing Anakin to lose his lightsaber, which Dooku retrieved. This distraction allowed Dooku an opportunity to exit and seal the cave with Anakin and Obi-Wan still inside. While the Jedi tried to find a way out, Dooku cames upon Hondo Ohnaka's pirate gang salvaging his ship. Outnumbered, the Count considers his options and chose to accompany the pirate gang on their ship off the planet as a ransom to the Separatists, or a prize to the Republic. The Jedi High Council assigns Anakin and Obi-Wan to meet with the pirates to verify that they do indeed have the Count in custody, agreeing to the condition that they must arrive unarmed. Upon arriving in the Twilight, the Jedi were met at gunpoint and escorted to Hondo, who arranged a meeting with their prisoner. After Anakin and Obi-Wan entered Dooku's cell and subtly mocked his current imprisonment the Jedi were "invited" to attend a banquet in the pirate gang's grand hall, which the Weequay had no intention of letting the Jedi miss.

The Gungan General (s01 e12)

While negotiating Count Dooku's ransom, Anakin and Obi-Wan are taken prisoner. The Jedi and Sith form an unlikely alliance in a bid to escape, with Jar Jar Binks as their only hope. With no choice but to work together, the two Jedi and the Sith try to escape to the hangar, but are caught and reincarcerated. Obi-Wan then uses a mind trick to compel the guard to let them out and go out drinking. Unfortunately, while trying to pole-vault over a wall, Dooku's line is shot; Obi-Wan grabs him, and Anakin is forced to hold onto both; they are re-captured by Hondo hanging from the wall. Meanwhile, Jar Jar Binks and Senator Kharrus fly to the Weequay pirates' lair with a bounty of spice on board as a ransom for Dooku. Unfortunately, Turk Falso decides to go behind Hondo's back, since he thinks dealing with the Separatists would have been more profitable, and has his men shoot down the shuttle to sack the ransom for himself. The pilots and Kharrus die in the resulting crash, and Jar Jar subsequently gets unintentional command of the surviving clone crew. Though the clones think of waiting for reinforcements, Jar Jar plans to go after the pirates, riding the skalders to catch up. They intercept and defeat the pirates, and with the spice back in hand, they follow a series of power supply lines straight to the pirate base. Meanwhile, Hondo becomes increasingly annoyed at the Jedis' attempts to escape and tortures Anakin and Obi-Wan with electricity, while Dooku remains locked in his cell. When the blackout hits the base, the Jedi and Dooku make their escape and go their separate ways: Dooku kills Turk and takes off in a ship; Anakin and Obi-Wan take Hondo hostage before meeting Jar Jar outside. Obi-Wan tells Anakin to let Hondo go, as they don't have any quarrel with him since Dooku had escaped. Hondo commends the Jedi on their honor, but Obi-Wan reminds him that Dooku is likely to seek revenge on him, before the Twilight takes off.

Jedi Crash (s01 e13)

When Anakin Skywalker is gravely injured in battle, Jedi General Aayla Secura must teach Ahsoka the Jedi philosophy of having no personal attachments -- while they brave a hostile planet in search of medical help for the Jedi Knight. Aayla's group finds a giant tree that was depicted in the tablet. However, giant seedpods come falling down on them from the trees but no one is hit/hurt by them. Aayla notices a trail made from dragged-away seedpods, and they follow the trail.Back at the camp, something is watching Rex and Anakin. Hearing rustling in the bushes, Rex goes to check it out. As Anakin finally comes to, he senses something and tries to get up but collapses. He manages to tell Rex that there is something behind him. He turns around and a mastiff phalone attacks him. He manages to scare it off with his blaster. Aayla, Ahsoka and Bly soon find a village of Lurmen who had settled on the planet, far away from the war. The village elder, Tee Watt Kaa refuses to aid them, fearing that destruction will break the peace they already have. However, at Ahsoka's request, he does allow his son, Wag Too, to help them bring Anakin back to the village for medical support. But he requests that only one Jedi is to go with him and that Bly should follow. Ahsoka and Bly go back with Wag Too in their company, while Aayla remains behind as insurance. At the camp, Anakin senses more creatures nearby and stands to fight. Two emerge from the bushes, ready to strike. As they charge, Rex shoots one of them, but the other rams between them. Luckily, the others arrive in time; Wag Too uses rope to bind the creature, but tells Ahsoka not to kill it, merely to topple it. They pull on the rope, bringing the creature down on its side. They then bring Anakin back to the village, where Wag Too uses healing oil on Anakin.

Defenders of Peace (s01 e14)

As Anakin recovers from his injuries obtained during the Battle of Quell, Rex spots a Separatist dropship which descends near the Lurmen village. Tee Watt Kaa goes to meet the newcomers, while the Jedi escape, to avoid the Lurmen having to pay the price for their presence. The Separatist commander, Lok Durd imposes his "protection" upon the Lurmens and orders the village to be ransacked to secure his "new colony". The Jedi, Rex and Bly retreat into the tall grass; Wag Too sends his friend Tub after them to watch their departure from the planet. Lok announces to his droids that he had developed a defoliator, capable of destroying organic life while leaving non-organics unharmed. Anakin predicts that the Separatists are headed for the Lurmen, so he tells everyone that they will take out the communications station, steal the shuttle and then return to help the Lurmen. Ahsoka points out that Tee Watt Kaa didn't want their help; Anakin justifies that there is a difference between pulling innocents into a war and leaving them to extinction. As night falls, the Jedi and clones infiltrate the base and take out any battle droids in their way, with Rex, Bly, and Anakin taking out three droids in a Separatist command center. The group eventually take the shuttle and two shield generators with them, and return to the Lurmen village, informing them about the impending attack. However, Tee Watt Kaa refuses to fight, holding onto their people's beliefs even if it means their death, despite Wag Too's pleas that they must at least defend themselves. Defying his father, Wag Too and his friends engage the droids, toppling them down to be decapitated. Meanwhile, Anakin destroys the defoliator cannon and slices his way to Lok, capturing him through levitation.As Anakin and his companions prepare to leave, Wag Too and Tee Watt Kaa offer their thanks.

Trespass (s01 e15)

While investigating the disappearance of a clone security force, Anakin and Obi-Wan get caught in the middle of an escalating conflict between the furry territorial inhabitants of a desolate ice world and the greedy representatives of a nearby moon. Despite the language barrier, Obi-Wan and Anakin manage to make clear that their mission is for peace, and they arrange a meeting between the Pantorans and the Talz. When they deliver the news, Chairman Chi Cho arrogantly refuses to believe that the Talz can be considered a sentient race and calls them trespassers and animals, stating that Pantora hasn't found a slight bit of life on the planet in all their history. Riyo Chuchi tries to mediate, telling that it is for the Senate to decide this matter, but to no avail. Chi Cho still refuses to accept the Talz as sentients and arrogantly declares Plutonia as sovereign Pantoran property, deliberately provoking a war. While returning to their base, Chi Cho and his escort are ambushed by a Talz war party, forcing them to fight, and Chairman Cho is severely weakened by a spear in his back. Anakin, Obi-Wan and Senator Chuchi just arrive in time to save Cho, Rex and the remaining escort from being overrun, but even with his last breath, Cho insists on killing the Talz for the 'good' of his people as his final command. Chuchi politely declines, informing him of the Assembly's decision. Dumbfounded that he was overruled and that his people prefer peace, claiming that he died for them, Chi expires. Senator Chuchi pursues a peaceful approach and manages to cease hostilities, conceding sovereignty of Plutonia to the Talz. As she and the Jedi board a gunship, Obi-Wan requests that to maintain peace, she should make it last.

Hidden Enemy (s01 e16)

Anakin and Obi-Wan discover evidence of a traitor amongst their ranks while attempting to lead Republic forces to liberate the planet of Christophsis from a Separatist siege. When the Republic is ambushed on Christophsis, it becomes clear that someone has set them up. The Jedi suspect the Sith, while Rex and Cody uncover information that points to a spy amongst them. Slick, knowing he's been discovered, escapes. Cody and Rex try chasing him down, but they are too late: Slick blows up most of the gunships and AT-TEs, as well as the weapons depot, with earlier-placed charges. The other clones inform Cody and Rex that Slick went into the command center, and they order the others to secure the perimeter while they go inside.In the meantime, as Anakin and Obi-Wan race to the Separatist base on BARC speeders, they notice an increasing number of droids spying on them, but still decide to continue the mission, despite the fact that it has been compromised. They arrive at the enemy base and inside, they meet Asajj Ventress again and begin to duel with her. The Jedi manage to overcome Ventress and demand her surrender, but as they edge closer to capture her, she creates a large hole in the floor beneath their feet with her lightsabers, pushing them one level down. Ventress taunts them and runs away, and the Jedi follow her, discovering that she has set up a whole army to invade Christophsis. Slick engages the commander and captain in physical combat, stating that he was tired of all the suffering and was offered freedom and money from Ventress. Cody manages to knock him out and they apprehended him. As they present Slick to the Jedi, Slick snaps that his brothers are enslaved by the Jedi, that he was striking a blow for all clones and that he loves his brothers, but Cody and Rex retort that he has now exposed them all to certain doom.

Blue Shadow Virus (s011 e17)

Padmé and Jar Jar are captured while searching for a secret Separatist bio-weapons lab, sparking Anakin, Obi-Wan and Ahsoka to try and save their friends and halt the release of a deadly virus. Upon arriving on Naboo, Anakin, Ahsoka and Obi-Wan learn of Padmé and Jar Jar's departure. Anakin sends Ahsoka with Peppi to find them, while the rest of them analyze the data from one of the lobotomized droids. Ahsoka and Peppi search the swamp, inadvertently find a spy cam and manage to hide from it. Ahsoka contacts Anakin and Obi-Wan, who instructs her to detonate a bomb in the south bunker while they enter through the hatches. Anakin then joins with Rex and his men to start the mission; Obi-Wan reminds him that the safety of the galaxy is worth more than Padmé's life and she may already be dead. Ahsoka levitates a thermal detonator, perfectly dropping it on the hatch and distracting many of the droids to her position; Rex and his team also arrive to assist her as they hack their way through droids before having to retreat with the entrance of droidekas. This allows the others to infiltrate the base unheard. But as Anakin enters Vindi's lab, he finds Vindi torturing his hostages with electricity, forcing him and his clones to surrender. As Vindi leaves Padmé and Jar Jar to suffer, he runs off with his virus bomb; Anakin breaks free and saves them. Obi-Wan arrives with the Bomb Squad. With Vindi and another droid each carrying a detonator, they split up between the two. Obi-Wan tries to catch Vindi, but the villain throws away a number of virus vials, forcing Obi-Wan to catch them while Vindi makes his escape. Meanwhile, Padmé and Jar Jar track down the droid, managing to prevent it from escaping. With the bomb squad's help, they are able to deactivate all the bombs, just as they capture Vindi.

Mystery of a Thousand Moons (s01 e18)

The fatal Blue Shadow Virus is released, infecting Ahsoka, Padmé and many Clone Troopers - and giving Anakin and Obi-Wan just 48 hours to find the antidote on a mysterious planet from which no visitor has ever returned. Anakin and Obi-Wan approach Iego, but not before passing through a massive ship graveyard in its orbit. As they land, they find strangely disfigured droids with mixed-up parts, all saying, "Welcome to Iego". A boy approaches them and introduces himself as Jaybo. Jaybo explains that when the Separatists left, they left a lot of their droids behind, and he simply reprogrammed them to serve him. When Obi-Wan and Anakin inquire about the Reeksa root, Jaybo mentions that the system is "haunted" and no one gets off the planet, since Drol, the phantom ruler of Iego, destroys anyone attempting to leave. Anakin and Obi-Wan descend a cliff, while Jaybo shouts down to not touch the vines, because the plants "don't like it" and have teeth. A Xandu appears, and the two Jedi grab ahold of it. It takes Anakin and Obi-Wan down to the bottom, and Anakin begins to hack away part of a root while the Reeksa plant awakens. Anakin and Obi-Wan manage to fend off the Reeksa and ascend the cliff. Anakin and Obi-Wan attempt to leave Iego in the Twilight, but as they pass through the debris field, sensors activate an energy field that prevents them from getting very far from Iego, and they return. Obi-Wan theorizes that the Separatists installed the energy field to prevent the inhabitants from leaving the planet. The Jedi call a meeting with the citizens of Iego. Obi-Wan tells them that Drol is not a ghost, but a Separatist security system. Obi-Wan notices Vulture droids in another room, and he asks Jaybo to reactivate them so that Artoo can fly them via remote control. The Vultures are activated, and after Jaybo transfers control of the droids to Artoo, they launch and follow the Twilight into the ship graveyard. The laser field activates, and Artoo attempts to send the Vulture droids into the laser emitter, but they are destroyed. Obi-Wan fires at the generator, and the energy field explodes. The Twilight immediately jumps into hyperspace for Naboo.

Storm Over Ryloth (s01 e19)

Ahsoka disobeys Anakin's orders and loses most of her squadron - prompting Anakin to help give his Padawan a lesson in a respect for authority, and the opportunity for redemption. Ahsoka sits with an unconscious Admiral Yularen and mournfully apologizes for her failure. Rex then calls her away to Anakin, whom she finds in the hangar bay, repairing her starfighter with the help of R2-D2. Anakin tells her they need to proceed with their attack on the blockade. Ahsoka, still shaken from her earlier failure, questions her readiness. Anakin receives a call from the Defender and orders Ahsoka back to her quarters to cool off. Alarms sound aboard the Resolute, and Ahsoka exits her quarters to find clone troopers running to stations. A clone reports to Ahsoka that the Defender is being evacuated for an unknown reason. When she arrives in the hangar, everything from the Defender is being loaded into the Resolute. Anakin leaves it to Ahsoka to command the remaining forces while he remains defenseless in an escape pod after destroying the Defender. Anakin leaves on a shuttle, and "Commander Ahsoka" is now in charge of the Resolute. The Defender emerges from hyperspace, and Anakin hails Captain Tuuk, offering to surrender himself and his vessel in exchange for safe passage of food and medical supplies to the people of Ryloth. Ahsoka details the battle plan after Anakin's collision with the battleship. She intends to tilt the Resolute in a maneuver away from the frigates, using it as a screen to launch fighters that would then defeat the remaining ships. The navigation officer is doubtful, and suggests taking time to come up with a better plan. Ahsoka asserts that these are her orders, and that Anakin is counting on her, but then corrects herself and says that he is counting on them. Admiral Yularen returns to the bridge and supports Ahsoka, giving her much-needed confidence. Anakin leaves the Defender with R2-D2 and boards an escape pod. Captain Tuuk orders all cannons to fire at the Defender. The Defender pierces the center sphere of the battleship. The battle droids, leaderless and confused, manage to order a basic attack on the Resolute, but the Republic Y-wings and V-19 Torrents manage to rip apart the remaining ships in the blockade. Following this, three Acclamator-class transgalactic military assault ships carrying Obi-Wan, Mace Windu, and their troops emerge from hyperspace. Obi-Wan contacts Ahsoka, wryly commenting on the state of Anakin's invasion fleet, and Rex dispatches a shuttle to pick up Anakin's escape pod.

Innocents of Ryloth (s01 e20)

To sabotage a powerful Separatist weapon, Obi-Wan and a small clone force enter an occupied town, and discover that its residents are being used as a living shield. Obi-Wan dispatches Cody, Wooley, Waxer and Boil to scout ahead. Waxer and Boil stumble across the young Twi'lek orphan Numa, who at first is fearful of them. After they remove their helmets, Numa relaxes a bit; she calls them both “Nerra”, and takes a ration bar that they give her. Numa somehow gets ahead of them and leads her to a shattered building that was once her home. Waxer and Boil, moved by the losses the war has inflicted upon the child, take it upon themselves to keep her safe. Meanwhile, Ghost Company is attacked by the gutkurrs. Obi-Wan uses the Force to lure the creatures into an alley bordered by a bridge. Cody and his men fire at the bridge, and the gutkurrs are trapped, while Obi-Wan leaps out. Though the clones defeat the creature, TX-20 knows that their numbers are very thin. Suddenly, Waxer and Boil emerge from a hatch in the street nearby, with Numa in tow. Obi-Wan converses to Numa in Twi'leki, who agrees to lead them to the prisoners while Cody and his men create a diversion, with Obi-Wan, Waxer and Boil freeing the Twi'lek prisoners. Obi-Wan takes control of a proton cannon, and with the help of Waxer and Boil, he manages to destroy the other cannons. The Acclamator transports land, and Mace Windu commends Obi-Wan on his victory. However, their new objective is much harder: to take the Ryloth capital of Lessu and free this world. Waxer and Boil say goodbye to Numa. As the army heads toward the capital, Numa calls “Nerra!” out to Waxer and Boil again, and Obi-Wan translates: “Nerra” means “brother”. Smiling, Waxer and Boil turn and wave back at Numa, before moving out toward the sun, intent on freeing this world.

Liberty on Ryloth (s01 e21)

As Mace Windu and his forces head to Lessu along a cliffside path with AT-TE walkers, they are ambushed by several AATs. The tanks incapacitate the first walker in the line and then target the rear walkers, seeking to trap and destroy the Republic forces. Mace saves the gunner, and then Commander Ponds comes up to him and informs Windu that they're pinned down. Windu and Ponds orders Lightning Squadron to the front while Windu Force-pushes the first fallen walker off the cliff, clearing the path. With republic forces stretched thin, Mace decides to enlist the help of the Twi'lek Resistance under the command of Cham Syndulla. Mace, Razor and Stak accompany Cham to his hideout under a wrecked C-9979 landing craft. Mace mentions that they can stop another massacre from happening, but Cham states that when the droids invaded, the Republic was unable to help, and they were forced to surrender. Meanwhile, battle droids escort the civilians of Lessu to the outer wall to slow Windu down. As Mace and Cham discover this, they spot two MTTs making their way toward the city. Cham reports that his spies say that they are filled with stolen treasure, and they decide to use them to get across and activate the bridge despite the chance of being scanned. Mace, Razor and Stak slice a battle droid on a STAP and enter the rear transport, while Cham prepares to lead the attack. Mace orders Ponds to create a diversion and get Lightning squadron ready. The plasma bridge is activated for the transports, and they begin to cross. The bridge is deactivated, and Mace uses the Force to push Razor and Stak across. Mace uses an STAP to get to the other side, and battle droids begin to attack the three. Mace orders the troopers to get the bridge back up while he holds the droids off, and Cham begins his charge. Mace takes out an entire droid squad and a tank on his own, while Razor and Stak get the bridge up just in time for Cham, Ponds and their forces to cross. The citizens of Lessu wave happily at the passing freedom fighters; Mace instructs Cham to take care of the droids while he finds Tambor. The freedom fighters and Lightning Squadron take out the AATs and the droids quickly.

Hostage Crisis (s01 e22)

To free crime lord Ziro Hutt, bounty hunters seize control of the Senate Building and take hostages—completely unaware at first that Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker is still inside. Anakin manages to elude his pursuers and hot-wires a terminal to communicate with Palpatine. The Chancellor advises Anakin to get to the central power core to contact for help. Anakin managed to disconnect and hide before the bounty hunters find him. Anakin managed to locate the power core, but a panicked Robonino shut the door behind him. Alama then come up behind Anakin. Though Anakin grabbed his gun, Aurra Sing then attacked Anakin, and Robonino shocked him into unconsciousness.Bane then gave Palpatine instructions to give a pardon chip to Orn Free Taa to be transported to the prison where Ziro was being held. HELIOS-3D then came in to take the Senator. They arrived at the prison and shipped Ziro away. An unconscious Anakin was dragged into the lobby, where the bounty hunters started to plant bombs that will go off if their laser detectors are triggered. This enabled the hunters to leave the Senate unhindered, despite an attempt by Orn Free Taa, Palpatine and Clone Commander Fox's detachment of the Coruscant Guard to have them arrested. Anakin woke up and Padmé gave him back his lightsaber, playing it off as that Anakin had dropped it. He then managed to save everyone by cutting a hole in the floor and dropping everyone one floor down, just before Bane triggered the bombs anyway for the clone troopers' interference. Padmé thanked Anakin for his daring escape.

Why it doesn’t matter anymore whether the lostspecial’s “revelation” is genuine or if there’s a 4th episode

First thing to say is this: I never post anything, I live in the shadows, and enjoy taking part of TJLC behind the anonymous’ face. I have followed several tumblr account from a long time. I have been part of TJLC since the day lsit created her blog, the day after TSoT. In other words, I have seen my fair share of mindfuckery, of blogs I liked receiving hate but I have never taken an active role in this fandom until now.

Like many TJLCers, I decided to watch TFP having high expectations, knowing for sure I was about to witness something groundbreaking.

Well, I wasn’t wrong. Not really.

First came disappointment: so was everything a farce? A pure publicity stunt? Even the lostspecial website is a lie? Are we that desperate for something to be clever?

And then I was thinking… So what if we are? None of this makes sense anyway. Why shouldn’t we ask for a miracle?

Here’s the thing, when you rewatch that fuckery that is TFP, if you start explaining with knowledge you get at the ending, everything falls apart. Oh, this is Eurus, she’s on a plane and needs Sherlock’s helps but also Eurus cuts the communications and uses herself as a bargaining chip. Continuity? What’s that? Sherlock wear the Bellstaff because I say so, even though he didn’t have it when he decided to shoot himself.

That’s the point casuals decide the Sherlock show was that bad and move on. That’s also the point people with a brain and loving puzzles decide to dig deeper. In half a week, TJLC (+ the new TFHC) was back on scene, tearing apart the narrative and saying: that cannot be real, therefore it’s not. But they didn’t use shitty arguments, they didn’t decide to let logic flow out of the window, in fact, they used what the narrative gave us unlike many say, they were the most logical out of everyone actually.

So, there, we’ve proved there’s more at work, we know our show, we know who the bastards behind this are. They’re fans, like us, and what do they want, what do we want?

We want a miracle. We want Sherlock to survive the Final Problem, to escape the Reichenbach’s Falls and let him be true to himself. We want no loose ends and there are so many, we want what others have said for years to come true, we want Sherlock out of the closet, after more than a century. The Final Problem can never be the end, otherwise all is lost. You cannot be allowed to destroy your show there if you’re a fan.

So, people start to look for the Lost Special, an episode TEH proved Mofftiss knew and they found the disaster that was ATY. At that point, I admit, we could have been convinced we were wrong. It wouldn’t have taken much, just a few words from the Powers That Be that they’re sorry to have lead us on, something official, not a tweet dismissing the last years as a ludicrous fantasy. What we got instead was radio silence and another show thinking, let them think what they want, that’s good for us. ATY said no, but it was a little no, one that means, what don’t you try to find it yourself? Who knows what you’re going to see ;)?

So 22/1 wasn’t the right solution, okay. How about 29/1, that’s the day they met, you can’t go wrong with this, right? Apparently yes, but by the time we noticed, we had to bear watching two people with no chemistry fuck within the 7 first minutes and end with a rape while we need to beg a 7 years old show to finally address the elephant in the room and to have the protagonists say they have Feelings™.

That’s roughly the moment I started thinking, maaaybe there’s no 4th episode but then, what about these hundreds of meta confirming my suspicions? People smarter than me have built foundations for these ideas and here’s where it hurts: it makes total sense, it fact it’s so far the only way S4 can make sense and be bearable, even enjoyable.

Yes, what TJLC says is ludicrous at first glance, that’s the most insane thing I’ve heard. I mean, a true conspiracy? A fourth episode hidden in plain sight? Who can even believe in it? How improbable is that?

But once you’ve eliminated the impossible, what remains, no matter how improbable, how insane it seems, must be the truth.

Here’s what we have deemed as impossible: these two men cannot have made this shitty S4 accidentally. Gatiss is a gay man working for queer people to get representation in medias, Moffat turned Sherlock and John into Vastra and Jenny, two lesbians who kissed on screen on a children show. Moffat is a good writer, Heaven Sent is evidence enough and TAB’s last scenes proved they get what the heart of the show is. We have people who are good at their jobs, writers, actors, and there is no way so many of them fucked up so much at the same time. Not even BBC’s advertising team. Not when the stakes are that high.

Here’s what we have deemed as improbable: Mofftiss wants us to crack, they are two men with enormous egos who want to leave their mark in Sherlock Holmes’ history. Permanently. They love an adaptation who didn’t succeed in making Holmes gay and have decided to get the story right. They want us to cry bitter tears of relief, they want to pull the rug and say after the fact: see? It’s always been a love story, you saw but you never observed. It’s always been a story of love, a story about a detective and his blogger who keeps him right, about two broken men who managed to find happiness together and do great things. To reach that goal these two bastards are willing to play a very long game, to mindfuck everyone and break the fandom before mending it.

Here’s finally what seals the deal: when you start thinking you must add the ‘it’s not real but everything is a metaphor’ and ‘we are the missing piece, we are part of this,’ everything makes sense. In fact, that’s the only way it does. TJLC had predicted every plot point in TAB? They have managed to get back on tracks their deductions, they wobbled but didn’t break. They are nit-picking on details but widely agree on the big things. I dare anyone to give another explanation for S4 without using ‘the writers are that bad’ as a reason for relevant plot points. The more you search, the more you find that goes on that direction.

Now, people had found a website they were wary of but decided to go down the rabbit hole in hope of finding something. The people in charge of this site now say more than a week later: by the way, none of this was real. The codes? Made up. The pictures? Also made up. The lines on the code sources? We wanted to see how desperate you were. Some people even tried to see things that weren’t there in the 27kra video (thanks, but I noticed in the end I was wrong and let it go immediately). Look how stupid TJLC is, how much in denial these people are. There is no 4th episode and there never will be. Carry on, you silly child.

It’s too late.

I’m not saying this explanation isn’t possible. Maybe that website was a fake after all but too much happened. Several blogs received many encrypted messages and reveal that someone is playing with our nerves, someone clever and who has too much time on his hands to be a hater. Sherlock North happened, disturbing codes and messages were sent, thelostspecial.com happened and had things he wasn’t supposed to have on his site, we are 100% convinced at this point that they want to break our faith, nothing now will change our mind. Even if several trolls took part of this, the snowball effect is there and you can’t stop it anymore. And with dymm (who may or may not be a mole) having excited twitter and even causuals non-stop for a month, the idea cannot be banished anymore.

Here’s the truth of this: it doesn’t matter at this point if there is or not a 4th episode. Sherlock’s show has an enormous hole and they need to do something to save it. TJLC managed to give an alternative reading that makes 100% more sense than anything else. Even if (which I doubt) that hadn’t been Mofftiss’ point, they need to take what we have thrown at them to save themselves. Here’s the real Final Problem, what’s it’s always been about from ACD’s time: how is the fandom going to save Sherlock Holmes?

Make history, is what we tell them today. Dazzle us with your cleverness, prove us we were right to believe in Sherlock Holmes. Open the closet you’ve put yourself in, we’ve found the key and got your back. And if, somehow, we are wrong in thinking you are half as clever as we think, then what you did, all that queerbaiting was disgusting and we are going make history anyway. Sherlock Holmes doesn’t belong to you. We, the fandom, is the reason he is still alive and we won’t let you kill him without putting a fight. This isn’t about being in denial anymore. This is us, telling the authors how it’s going to be.

Make Up Girl - Jon x Sansa Fic

Honestly can't remember if I've posted the first part before but I've added an extra chapter so here it is in its entirety....

I'm fucked. Utterly fucked.

Jon was sat in the chair in the small heated room while the new make up girl had her back to him at her station, mixing creams and powders while humming and hypnotically swinging her hips to the music from her docked MP3 player. Jon was watching her reflection in the wall length mirror in front of him.

What the hell happened to Spencer? I'd be fine with Spencer - we would have talked about whatever spy novel he was reading at the moment or where he went on holiday with his boyfriend. How do I talk to HER while she's painting my bod - SHIT! - I've got to strip to my undies for this session too! Fuck!

Jon had arrived at the studios in Ireland for the filming of his first scenes of the new season in a tired yet jovial mood at 5:30am. Sauntering into the little make up room he'd been directed towards, while taking a gulp of his coffee - coffee that he nearly spat out when he first saw her.

She'd introduced herself as Sansa Stark - Spencer's replacement as he'd had a clash in work schedules and couldn't turn down the chance to work on the set of a big budget film located in Fiji.

"Can't blame him can you"? Sansa said with a smile while explaining to Jon - gesturing at the window where the rain was beating down hard enough to make her shudder.

"Ur.... no I suppose not". Was all that he could get out as he shook her hand and tried not to drown in her sparkling crystal eyes. Her hair was a beautiful shade of copper red and tied in some sort of messy bun on top of her head, soft whisps of fiery strands escaping it here and there. Jon wondered how long it was down and if it felt as silky smooth as it looked.... Or what it smelt like?

"Please - sit" she inclined her head towards the chair. "I hope you don't mind my music? I can change it to the radio if you'd prefer?" Sansa asked.

"Ah... No, no... Anything is fine with me". He gulped another chug of coffee before deciding to set his cup down in the ledge in front of the mirror and opting to open a pack of chewing gum to hopefully combat any coffee breath.

"I'll put it on shuffle. It's a pretty eclectic mix of genres so I hope there's at least one song you enjoy..... No death metal - I promise" Sansa smiled as she turned her attention to the small electric heater plugged in at the wall.

"Best turn that up for later" she muttered to herself.

Don't remind me.

Today Jon would be filming his resurrection scene and would be laid on a slab without a stitch on him save for a small scrap of leather covering his fun bits. Of course to play dead - he had to look dead and that meant make up - head to toe.

"Okay!..... Let's make you into a corpse" Sansa chirped, coming back from her make up station that was stacked with a plethora of pots bottles and brushes behind him. Sansa held a small black plastic tray with a few different blobs of paste that she'd been mixing.

"I just need to see what particular shade of 'dead' suits you best" she informed him with a grin. Jon smiled and nodded nervously in response.

Sansa scooted close to him on a stool, her thigh parallel with his as she faced the wall behind him. Jon wanted to flinch away when the side of her thigh connected with his, sending electricity to his gut.

She brushed several shades of paste onto Jon's neck in small patches under his jaw and beard. He felt a bit like a paint chart from a diy store as she sat back and stared at him, trying to make her decision.

"Hmmmm.... I think you're a 3 ....and a 4 for definition - what do you think"? She turned to ask the question of the Jon in the mirror. He nodded silently at the reflection of himself with patches of grey and white on one side of his neck. Meeting her smiling eyes in the mirror as she stood behind him, he couldn't help but gulp.

She's going to put this all over me.....Why did they have to hire someone so hot - god damn it - If I don't get a hard on it'll be a miracle!

Jon gulped at his thoughts as Sansa began mixing larger quantities of the mysterious 'number 3 and 4' - singing along to some 90's R&B and wiggling her hips in her tight jeans.

Hot damn!

"Face first I think" she smiled at him as she settled back down at her stool. This time she positioned her legs either side of one of Jon's, to get closer. After tucking some sort of tissue barrier into the collar of his tshirt to protect his clothes, Jon closed his eyes while Sansa began dabbing and wiping his face with a small sponge laden with her concoction.

"S-so where are you from"? He asked the inside of his eyelids.

They made pleasant small talk while Sansa worked on the top half of his face. He'd gleaned that she was from a village on the south coast of England but was currently living in London with her brother. She owned a large Siberian husky called Lady that she missed desperately already, even though she's only been in Ireland for a couple of days. She'd worked on a few horror movies and thought that was how she'd been picked for this placement and that as gruesome as some people thought it, she enjoyed working on special effects make up such as wounds and scars most of all. The small piece of information that made his heart flutter though, was that the admin crew had placed her at the same hotel as him while she was working on set - a large part of him wanted to ask what room number.

"You can open you're eyes now - I've finished the top half of your face" Sansa said warmly. Jon noticed that she had taken off her hoodie while he'd been hiding behind his eyelids. She wore a plain black tight tshirt with a v neckline just low enough to show a hint of cleavage. Around her neck was a silver necklace with a heart pendant with the bottom of the heart drawing Jon's eye down her body while Sansa was distracted with the paste in the small plastic bowl in her hand.

Maybe I should keep my eyes closed.

She was bobbing her head and mouthing the words to a Red Hot Chilli Peppers song when she brought her face back to his. Her eyes glittered as she smiled at him and scooted her stool closer to finish the rest of his face. She was close - too close.

Jon tried not to stare at her - he really did but while she concentrated on the lower half of his face, he studied hers. Her complexion was peaches and cream - milky skin with a light blush to her cheeks and a sparse scattering of freckles. He also noted that she often bit her lower lip enticingly while she worked - when she wasn't silently singing along to the music of course.

Is it my imagination or is she leaning in closer and closer? If she moves just one more inch towards me I swear her knee will be nudging my crotch and mine hers. Okay... Okay breathe.... Stop thinking about.... That.

Jon took a deep breath and closed his eyes once more. "Are you okay"? Sansa asked. She'd placed her hand softly on Jon's forearm.

"Ur...y-yeah, yeah..... Just.... You know.... Early mornings and all that" he brush off her concern with a smile and a wave towards the small window where the dawn had still not graced the sky with any light.

"Urgh! I know what you mean! I've been up since 2am - this being my first proper day on set and all...I was far too nervous to sleep properly.... Actually, I spent a good portion of the night rewatching some episodes of season 5 - I don't know if it was the lack of sleep or the fact that I'm a total wuss but I actually cried a little in the final scene when they killed you - so glad you're coming back! I bet that was a difficult secret to keep"!

Sansa had begun sponging the make up to Jon's lips so he'd stopped chewing his gum and was also unable to reply to her question. He made a noise of confirmation and tried to communicate through his eyes. Sansa giggled and he was suddenly thankful that his face was plastered in the paste that hid his blush.

"Sorry" she said laughingly as she smoothed some of her handiwork across his bottom lip with a featherlight touch from her finger. If he had been a bolder man he would have caught her finger between his teeth. The thought made him fidget slightly in his chair.

"Right, that's your face done". She said, placing the tray down on the ledge. "Let's sort out your facial scars before we....move on" Sansa said, almost to herself as she swept his body with her piercing gaze in a manner that made Jon want to cover himself even though he was still fully clothed.

Sansa returned to her station behind him to grab what she needed, all while impressively knowing the words to some rap song currently sifting through the air.

Jon had thought that the part of this session where Sansa would be coating almost every inch of his body in the grey paint would be the worst part - he hadn't factored in his facial scars. Just the knowledge alone that she had studied a small folder filled with images of him displaying Spencer's previous work on his face and body for continuity was bad enough - but now... Now she was inches away from his face concentrating on her delicate brush strokes as she carved out her artful fake mutilations.

Jon's breath was caught in the back of his throat as he felt her breath hot on his skin. If their faces were this close to one another in any other situation, then it would surely be the prelude to a kiss? Jon's eyes kept lazily wandering to her plump lips. Luckily Sansa was preoccupied with checking that her handiwork matched that of Spencer's.

"You're eyes are nicer in real life" Sansa said suddenly, forcing Jon to break his stare at her inviting mouth.

Jon didn't know how to respond so simply cleared his throat, hoping it would afford his brain some time to form some words.

"The camera doesn't show how deep brown they are" she smiled sweetly, looking between his pictures and then back at his eyes.

"......thank you...." Jon gulped as he stared back at her own glittering eyes.

Compliment her back.... Say something.... Anything you idiot.... Wait.... If she's noticed my eyes - has she noticed I've been staring?!

Sansa went back to finishing her work on his face with one hand but the other had somehow found its way to on top of his thigh. Jon stilled as he could feel the warmth of her touch through his jeans.

Does she know she's doing that? Is that subconscious?

Jon's eyes darted from her hand on his leg back to her face, all the while trying to keep his head absolutely still as she worked. He wasn't sure if he was imagining the wicked look in her eye or the knowing smile on her perfect lips.

"Okay..... I'm ready for you to strip for me Jon".

It took him a good while for Jon to catch her meaning and he was once again thankful for the layers of make up camouflaging the tomato red his face must be turning right now. His throat went dry as he willed himself not to get hard.

This is fucking ridiculous.

She surveyed Jon's body through his clothes once more before locking eyes with him and biting her lip as she rose to go back to her bottles and tubs at her station.

Now I know I did not imagine that!

*****

Thankfully she started on his back as he stood there, in the middle of the small heated room, wearing nothing but his black tight boxers.

Applying the paint liberally with a soft mitt, it didn't take too long for Sansa to snake round to his front. Jon's muscles tensed under her touch. He was sure she was moving more slowly now - was she relishing taking him in? He was half hard before she asked him to shimmy the waistband of his underwear down a bit. He obliged, hoping that the torture wouldn't take much longer.

"Lower" Sansa almost commanded, her eyes trained in the sliver of skin newly bared to her. Once again he obliged, hoping she hadn't noticed the press of his cock against the tight fabric. "Lower" she said again - a little hint of tease in her voice.

Any lower and this will be indecent exposure.

He chances a glance at Sansa's face. She was wearing a mask of mischief with a cocked brow and a sexy smirk. "Joking!.... I'm joking". Sansa threw her hands up in mock surrender. "You seemed tense". Sansa offered.

Jon let out a breath he didn't know he was holding in a shaky laugh. "Well it's not everyday I'm stood nearly naked in front of a beautiful woman". He said, hoping he didn't sound like a creepy smooth-talker.

"Oh I'm sure it happens more often than you're letting on" Sansa teased as she continued to mix more grey body paint.

Not nearly enough. And not with someone as hot as you.

Before Jon knew it, Sansa was kneeling in front of him and dabbing bits of the paste very low on his belly, inches away from his cock and bracing herself with one hand on his exposed thigh.

There's nothing I can do. Literally nothing I can do from stopping what's inevitably going to happen.

Jon stared directly at the ceiling, trying to contemplate the ugly tiles instead of the tickle of her touch and his body's rapid reaction. His hands clenched and relaxed repeatedly at his aides while he tried to silently recite the periodic table.

There is absolutely no way she hasn't noticed.

"It happens a lot you know". Sansa said in a matter-of-fact way. Jon glanced down at her wide eyes staring up at him from her kneeling position. Her face so close to his now rock hard length that he swore he could feel her breath on him.

"And it doesn't look like you've got anything to be embarrassed about". Sansa said as her eyes lowered to take in his length before returning to his face and licking her lips.

Fuck.

There was a sudden sharp knock on the door and Sansa moved to block the view of Jon's arousal with her upper body. A short, dark haired woman wearing a headset and peaked cap poked her head through the door. "Hey guys - there's pastries, hot drinks and juices a couple of doors down in room 12 if you want to help yourselves".

"Thanks Gabby" Sansa called over her shoulder as the door clicked shut.

Sansa rose to her feet, her eyes glanced down to his strained cock once more before speaking. "I was getting kind of hungry..... Shall I get you anything"?

SANSA

Sansa looked around the trailer area. No-one. Good. Now breathe.

She raised her hand to the door and paused. He definitely flirted with you Sansa... just knock! Dammit come on!

Tap tap tap. She held her breath.

There was still no answer after a decent amount of waiting time. She knocked again, with a little more force this time, and the small trailer door popped open with a click. Oh.

Sansa poked her head into the warm trailer and instantly heard the reason no one answered the door. She stepped into the trailer and quietly pushed the door shut behind her, the noise of the shower drowning out any sound anyway.

I should go. This is weird. He's showering and I don't want to seem like some crazy stalker fan.

But...he DID flirt...didn't he? He seemed kind of nervous too which was sweet......and then there was the hard on issue (Sansa had been particularly distracted by THAT turn of events)...but I was practically rubbing him all over - so there's that. God! His body!

Sansa bit her lip and stared at the shut door to the bathroom.

Oh fuck! What should I do? What should I do?

Sansa got up from the couch she was using as her 'decision making space', took two strides towards the trailer door, paused and then returned to the couch. What. Am. I. Doing?!

She suddenly heard a voice mingled in with the sounds of the shower water. He was singing. Singing 'Wild Thing' - Sansa stifled a giggle and then remembered it was one of the songs from her iPod that - once he'd relaxed a little - Jon had mouthed along to the words and jiggled his leg to the beat.

Okay okay okay.....carpe diem and all that.... here goes nothing....

*********** JON

The day had gone as well as it could. Even if his joints were sore from laying on a slab of cold stone for hours, trying to figure out different ways of gasping back into life. A hot shower was just what he needed, he thought as the jet of water pulled a groan out of his throat. The shower cubicle quickly filling with steam.

There had been a fair bit of 'playing dead' on that slab of stone today - which afforded him some time to think upon Sansa and how he was going to muster up the courage to ask her out.

I mean, she's practically already seen my cock - what's the worst that could happen?

This is ridiculous, he thought as he stood under the stream of water. It's like I'm a fucking teenage boy again. Why did she make me so nervous?

Because she's a God-damn stone cold fox. That's why dumbass.... she seems nice with it too....almost perfect...too perfect....couldn't even fault her eclectic taste in music...

Jon grinned as he remembered her singing and dancing along to the music. It prompted him to start singing himself - seeing as he'd had 'Wild Thing' stuck in his head all day.

"Very impressive - I didn't peg you as a singer" came the voice over the rush of the water. Jon froze before peering around the shower curtain, gripping it to himself for modesty. Who the fu-

"Sansa" he exclaimed - an octave higher than what could be considered manly before clearing his throat. "Wha....what are you doing"?

Sansa stalked forward and drew her bottom lip in with her teeth guiltily. "Well I thought I might start offering a make up wash down service too".

Jon gaped whilst his jumbled brain tried to make sense of Sansa's words.... that, and the fact that she had discarded her shirt and unclasped her bra at the front, holding it together with both hands, pushing her breasts together.

"Is that something you'd be interest in Jon"?

"Y-yea...um..yes".

Sansa grinned and rid herself of the rest of her clothes. She straightened up with a smirk as she took in Jon's hungry eyes devouring the sight of her nakedness.

She stepped into the shower, causing Jon to step back directly into the stream of water, dowsing himself and plastering his hair down his face. Sansa giggled and reached up above him to direct the water towards the tiled wall instead. The action caused her breasts to graze his wet chest. Jon instinctively grabbed her small waist and drew her closer, loving the feel of her skin against his.

Sansa placed a quick kiss on his lips before laughing and pushing back the hair still plastered to his face. Jon grinned down at her and held her tighter.

Twisting in his arms, Sansa grabbed Jon's shower gel from the little ledge and squirted some into her hand.

"You've missed a bit" she said with a smile and a cocked brow as she lathered the soap into his chest and up to his shoulders. The suds ran down both their bodies making them slippery against one another.

As they began to kiss hungrily Jon slid his hands down to grasp the flesh of Sansa's ass with growl at the back of his throat.

Sansa's hand travelled from his shoulder down his chest and kept moving southward until she found her intended destination and wrapped her hand around his rock hard cock and began slowly stroking him up and down.

"Fuck"! Jon muttered and Sansa giggled in return.

"Funny" he said "I don't remember you putting any make up in that particular area" Jon rasped in her ear. "I suspect you might just be trying to take advantage and cop a feel".

"Mmmm how very naughty of me" Sansa laughed.

Jon gave one of her ass cheeks a wet smack "very naughty" he agreed. Sansa gasped and looked up at him with no small amount of lust in her beautiful blue eyes.

She turned in his arms and bent her body as much as she could in the shower space, placing her palms against the wet tiles and pushing her rear into Jon.

"Again" she demanded as she peered over her shoulder at him.

Jon tapped her ass with another quick thwack as he guided his cock to rub against her folds.

"Mmmm" Sansa moaned as she rocked her pelvis back into Jon, enjoying the press of him as the water beat upon her shoulders.

"Are you sure"? He asked, gripping her hips hard, trying not to go too fast by sheathing himself fully in one swift movement.

"Yes...fuck me Jon".

******** SANSA

Fucking hell he knew what to do to get her off! Driving hard into her while his hands paid attention to her breasts, her ass and her clit. But it was the animalistic grunts, growls and panting that she could hear over the run of the water and the wet slap of their flesh that pushed her over the edge in the end - that, and his occasional gruff voice declaring how tight she was, how good she felt, how beautiful she is and how he's been thinking about her all god-damned day.

How is it that I find him so sweet while we're doing THIS?

"So...uh....do you fancy getting a bite to eat...with me"? Jon asked as he pulled on his jeans after their incredible shower - where Sansa was pretty sure they'd set some sort of record for 'most amount of orgasms reached within a confined space'.

"Oh I can't" she shrugged. Jon paused "well Sandor's in the next trailer along and judging by how long it took me to do his facial scars, his 'wash down' service will take a while too" Sansa tried to keep a straight face but failed miserably as a wide grin spread across her features. Jon chuckled.

"I'd love to" Sansa smiled.
