- I liked how this episode opened with Kenna and Bash both telling each other why they were disappointed with being married to each other. With Kenna saying how Henry promised her someone titled, noble and wealthy and Bash really finds it awkward that Kenna is notorious for sleeping with his father.
- I liked how both Bash and Kenna agreed to try and keep their distance from Mary and Henry due to their history with each other and that they might not love each other but they should at least find a way to like each other.
- I liked how Mary and Francis discussed how Henry being mad his going largely unnoticed by the court and how Catherine is secretly running France behind Henry's back and that Penelope is a really good distraction for Henry and therefore a blessing in disguise.
- I liked hearing that Lola had been courted rather nicely by Julian since last episode and I liked how direct she was with him about what she wanted and that was the same and liked that about her.
- I was worried about Lola when Julian confessed that he never wanted children but I did like when he proposed to Lola.
- I liked that it was explained that Catherine has an elite set of ladies in waiting who sleep with noblemen in order to find out political secrets and I liked that this one refused to sleep with a mad king and asked Mary for help getting out of the country and revealed to Mary a secret about her wedding contract.
- I thought that it was pretty horrible and scary for Mary that the contract said that France got Scotland if she died before having an heir, also I liked that Mary was more concerned about Scotland than her own life and Francis first concern was that they could have Mary killed in order to get Scotland.
- I liked how Mary went to Kenna to find prove of the document in Henry's chambers and I liked that although Kenna was frightened and didn't want to break her promise to Bash she went to Henry's chambers in order to save Scotland.
- I was really rather frightened for Kenna when Henry walked in when she was in his chamber and I could tell she was scared too.
- I found it sad that Mary's own mother betrayed her and Scotland for some money. I also liked how Mary came up with the plan to get word back to the Scottish people because it would cause unrest and it would mean that the contract would have to be burned in order to prevent a war.
- I liked how Mary invited every Scot within a 100 miles so that Catherine couldn't figure out her real reason for throwing such a party.
- I found it disgusting how Henry bragged to Bash that he was with Kenna earlier that day.
- I loved how Mary gave the speech to the nobleman and his men about her marriage contract and what it means for Scotland and how she will die before she lets anyone take Scotland from her and then they all bowed down to her.
- I liked how overwhelmed Mary was at being bowed down to and being seen as a real queen and I liked how impressed by her Francis was as well.
- I'm glad that Bash learned that Kenna only went to Henry for Mary and protect her country and he felt like a fool for being upset with her.
- I liked that Lola told Julian about her being pregnant and I liked that Julian agreed to marry her anyways because she still the girl he started to fall for.
- I was upset and a little surprised that Catherine had all the Scotsmen killed after she figured out that Mary knew of the contract. I liked that Mary was so angry at Catherine for what she did and that she slapped her.
- I liked how Catherine made a speech about how many men will lay down their lives for the queen and how it never stops so eventually you just have to stop caring so much about them because it's part of the job.
- I liked that Francis comforted Mary about her loss of the Scotsmen.
- I liked how Bash was able to save Kenna from Henry and I liked that he had went looking for her because he was worried about her and that felt that it's his place to protect her because she's his wife.
- I loved how Mary got Catherine to burn the marriage contract by threatening to tell several nobles that the Kings mad and that would result in a civil war which Catherine wasn't willing to risk happening.
- I liked how Mary told Francis that she would always choose Scotland over France no matter the consequences and I liked that Francis seems both frightened and impressed by this.

TV Review: Reign: Monsters(1.16)
Reign: Monsters(1.16)Review
- I felt bad for Olivia when she was having nightmares about her experience in the caves and I found it a bit disturbing that a tooth from the darkness was found in her wounds.
- I continue to be disturbed and frightened by Henry going mad especially since he started off the episode by pouring wax in a nobleman's ear. I think that Catherine has the right idea of keeping Henry away from the public and I think he should be thankful that she keeps motivating people to keep quiet about his episodes.
- I liked how the Queen of the Bean was explained as a contest were one servant girl gets to become queen for the day and that Catherine used to hide it from Francis when he was younger which is why Mary doesn't remember it because Henry often sleeps with the servant if she's pretty.
- I liked how Francis mentioned that Bash and him used to run off to the woods when they were younger on that day and I liked how Mary told Francis that it's okay to miss him.
- While Greer's fiancé Lord Julian seemed nice and good looking enough I think it was pretty obvious that Greer still longed to be with Leith instead but knew that marrying Julian was what she should do.
- I liked how Castleroy could tell that Leith was looking after Greer longingly in much the same way he is and I liked how he asked if he'll miss it here.
- I completely understand why Lola is so frightened about not having a suitor soon because she really doesn't have much time until she'd be ruined.
- I liked how Catherine and Nostrodamus came up with the idea to put Henry in a coma so that no one learns that Henry has gone mad.
- I liked how when Bash return he surrender his weapon right away and tried to tell the guards and Henry about the threat of the darkness but I'm sad that no one listened to him and that everyone thought that he was just their for Mary despite him not mentioning Mary or making any move to find her upon arrival.
- I'm glad that Bash was eventually able to convince Mary and Francis that he wasn't actually back for her but because he wants the help of the castle's guards to defeat the darkness because he doesn't want anyone else getting killed by it.
- I liked how Catherine tried to find away in which she could use Penelope to get the vile into the Henry's drink.
- I liked how Greer admitted to Leith that despite there being nothing wrong with Julian she's still unhappy with him because she loves him and I loved their kiss as well.
- I liked that Leith tried to take all the blame for the kiss in order to save Greer's engagement with Julian after he walked in on them kissing.
- I liked that Greer told Julian that it wasn't Leith's fault because she didn't want Leith to be too harshly punished but this changed nothing in Julian's mind so he calmly ends their engagement.
- I liked that Nostrodamus informed them that the darkness is in fact human and I liked that both Francis and Bash went together to find it even though things were still pretty bad between the two of them.
- I felt so bad for Greer for feeling ashamed that she loves Leith and that she disappointed her family and because of the way gossip works she knows that pretty much no one will want to marry her now which I think is terribly unfair but that's probably true about how things worked back then.
- I liked how all the girls comforted Greer when she was crying and I liked how Kenna told her what she did was less shameful than her relationship with the king. I also liked that Lola told the other girls about her being pregnant.
- I liked that Castleroy had made sure that Leith was freed from jail and was instead able to join the military.
- I liked how Mary felt so clearly creeped out when Henry tried to get her to come onto Penelope and that she tried to get both of them out of that situation but Penelope ended up staying.
- I liked how Penelope was able to handle Henry by making him feel like him being the one tied up was a reward for him.
- I liked how Bash pointed out that it's a bit ridicules of Francis to be so threatened by him an exile bastard and I liked how Francis admitted it was more because Bash was his brother he always looked up to and trusted that he felt so hurt by his relationship with Mary.
- I liked that when Francis thought that there was a threat near by he gave Bash his sword because he feels that Bash is better at using one.
- I liked how Mary and Greer arranged for Lola to be Julian's new suitor and I liked that Lola worried about Greer's feelings despite her desperate situation but in the end agreed to the match.
- I liked how desperate Bash was to save Francis when he fell through the ice and I'm so glad that he was able to save him.
- I felt bad fro Greer when he said the gossip about her and Leith is the first interesting thing he heard about her but I liked that Kenna said that's horrible thing to say but I disliked that Henry then said she should be grateful because it gets the attention off her although I'm glad that it's clear Kenna certainly doesn't see it that way.
- I liked how Greer accepted Castleroy's proposal because he's a nice guy who clearly cares about her and doesn't think badly of her for having feelings for a servant, while I wish there was a way for Greer to be with Leith I know it's not practical.
- I liked how Olivia rejoined society and I liked that she wanted to dance with Nostrodamus but I was sad that he didn't dance with her.
- I loved that Francis and Bash finally made up and that they now both know that the other doesn't want them dead despite what happened with Mary.
- I wasn't surprised to learn that Henry was the one that order Bash to be killed but I was disturbed by it.
- I liked that Francis talked Henry out of killing Bash and I liked that he was completely horrified by his father's actions.
- I found Nostodamus's backstory about how he was married with small children once but they were all killed when the plague came through to be very sad.
- I was sad when Greer saw Leith off and she wished he would look back and then he did and it broke my heart to see those two separated.
- I was surprised that Penelope was able to play Catherine and that she put the vile in Catherine's drink instead of Henry's. I'm glad that Catherine found Mary and told her to get Nostrodamus before she passed out.
- I liked how Bash described Henry's plan as a sort of horror show and informed Francis and Mary that their invited on pain of death.
- I thought it was terrible cruel that Henry forced Bash and Kenna to marry each other and I understand why Kenna was so upset because Henry had promised her someone noble and titled not his bastard son but on the other hand I kind of shipped these two since like episode three so I enjoy this development even if the circumstances are really screwed up.
- I liked that Bash used the nonsense titled that Henry gave him to give the guards orders to hunt for the darkness.
TV Review: Reign: The Darkness(1.15)
Reign: The Darkness(1.15)Review
- I felt bad for Kenna having to deal with Henry becoming creepier and kinkier in there relationship and her feeling like she can't say no to the new things he wants to try while still feeling uncomfortable about it.
- I like that Mary is trying her best to find Lola a husband but I feel bad for Lola that Mary doesn't seem be putting much of any thought into Lola's happiness with the match.
- I liked that Greer and Leith are seen to be very happy with each other's presence but I find it terribly sad that they both know that they can't be together. I liked how when Greer asked when will you grow tired of kisses that lead nowhere that Leith answers when you stop wishing they would.
- I liked that when Bash saw that the door of the villagers home he has been staying at has been marked that by the darkness that he decided to stay because he wants to fight off the darkness.
- I felt bad for Olivia as she told the story about how the darkness locked her in a cave and fed on her for months and that she was only able to escape because she was nearly starved to death so she could then slip out of her chains.
- I liked how Kenna told Catherine about how she woke up in bed with a dead girl and how she believed the Henry was the one that killed her.
- I liked that Francis was concerned about Phillip courting Lola because he knew that he could never truly love her and he as her friend wants her to be happy.
- I felt so bad for Lola with how she could clearly tell that Phillip only wanted to marry her because he needed it for his inheritance but felt like she wouldn't have the chance to wait for someone better.
- I liked how when Leith approached Greer with an invitation that she assumed it was from him although it turned out that it was from Castleroy.
- I find it frightening that Henry seems to be loosing his mind and refuses to admit it because he's afraid of seeming weak.
- I liked how Greer and Leith kept looking at each other all through out her dinner with Castleroy.
- I liked how after Leith had saved Castleroy from being set on fire that Greer asked about their health but seemed more concerned with Leith's that Castleroy clearly could tell that Greer had feelings for Leith and although this saddened him he wasn't mad at either of them for it.
- I liked that Francis ended up admitting to Mary that him and Lola slept together and that he was sorry that it happened.
- While I understand why it was so upsetting for Mary having to lie to Francis I think it was completely unfair for her to demand that Lola marry Philip right after she learned that he was gay and therefore could never fall in love with her.
- I liked how Olivia said she too ashamed to come back to court because the last time she had been their she was there to betray people and she left them when she needed them most and now feels that she's evil, I just like that she feels guilty about her past wrongs not that she thinks herself as evil.
- I liked how Leith told Greer about how he had a new job opportunity in Spain that would bump him up to the merchant class and how she tells him to take it even though she doesn't want him to leave her but knows their relationship had to end someday, I also like that Leith tells her that he loves her.
- I understood why the villager girl had subdued Bash to sacrificed for darkness but I didn't like that she did it. Also I was glad the darkness didn't kill Bash but I was sad that it took and most likely killed the girl.
- I liked how Francis filled his Mary's room with candle and reminded her that he doesn't sleep with her just to make a baby but because he loves her.
- I liked how it was revealed that Greer arranged for Castleroy to give Leith the job in order to help her soften the blow in ending their relationship.
- I liked that Nostrodamus cleanse Olivia and told her that evil isn't something you are but something you choose and that she only has to be what she chooses to be.
- I liked that Mary said sorry to Lola about trying to force her into a loveless marriage and I liked that Mary made clear that her fears was that relationship between her, Francis and Lola would turn out to be like the relationship that Catherine, Henry and Diane have and I like that Lola assures her that it wouldn't turn out that way.
- I was a bit sad to learn that Greer is all but engaged to some guy she's never met before.
- I'm glad that Catherine saved Kenna from having to go with Henry because I believe that he would have killed her if Catherine hadn't have stepped in.
- I find it disgusting and disturbing that Henry seems to be killing women because he had been outplayed by them through out the season and now kills them to regain dominance over them.

TV Review: Teen Wolf: Perishable(4.09)
Teen Wolf: Perishable(4.09)Review
- I felt really worried and sad for Parrish when he woke up tide to his steering wheel and seeing someone dosing his car in gasoline and I felt even worse for him when he noticed that it was a fellow cop that was doing this to him.
- I liked how Stiles and Lydia went to the Sherriff and told him about how they believe that Lydia's grandmother Lorraine is still alive and quite possibly the benefactor.
- I was glad to see that Parrish survived being burned alive and I'm glad he beat the crap out of the guy that tried to kill him.
- I was worried about the Sherriff when he got shot but since it was only in the shoulder I knew he would survive his injury.
- I liked how Lydia took Parrish to Derek's loft and along with Scott and Derek they informed Parrish about the supernatural stuff which he was greatly confused by.
- I liked how Stiles told his dad about how he knew that they were behind by bills and that he was upset that he kept that information from him since Stiles believes that it's his job to protect his dad and I liked that his told him that he's the one that should be taking care of Stiles not the other way around. I just feel like Stiles needed to be told that since season 1 but I can only see that this hasn't kept Stiles from worrying about things.
- I liked how Parrish mentions that he doesn't even know what he is although I'm sad that no one else seems to either but I liked that Derek pointed out that he doubts whoever made the deadpool cares about that.
- I find it both a bit scary and bit interesting that the deadpool is now being sent out to just about anyone with their printer plugged in rather than just professional killers.
- I found Lorraine's backstory to be pretty interesting with how she worked for IBM and she had a female lover Maddy who's death she predicted and how she spent the rest of her life after that trying to figure out why and how she was able to do this.
- I felt sad when Lydia said that her grandmother drove Meredith insane and she drove to suicide but I'm unsure of how true that statement is overall.
- I liked how when Scott saw that Derek had a gun despite Scott knowing that Derek doesn't like those he guessed that this had something to do with what happened to his eyes. I liked that Derek told Scott about him loosing his werewolf abilities and I liked how worried Scott was after hearing this and how he told Derek about his name being a cypher key.
- I liked how it showed that Liam was shown still being very affected by fighting the Berserkers last episode and how he couldn't even focus on his conversation with Mason since he was freaking out so much.
- I liked how Stiles and Lydia worked together to solve the code that Lorraine left for her and how Stiles pretty much just said try every important female in her life.
- I liked how during Coach's speech about the bonfire that Scott's attention was on Liam because he saw that Liam was freaking out but trying to hide it during the whole speech.
- I liked how Scott followed Liam to check on him and see if he was okay and I fully understand why Liam was freaking out so much with him now that Derek off the list he's now worth 18 million dollars.
- I liked how Stiles came up with the idea since Lydia was suppose be the only one that could crack the code the key should be something about Lydia and then he asked her what was her and grandmother's thing which then lead Lydia to thinking about The Little Mermaid.
- I found it funny that Stiles thought that it meant that Lydia would read The Little Mermaid movie and I liked that Lydia pointed out that it was a book first.
- I liked how Lydia mentioned that she insisted on being called Aerial for like a year and how it drove her parents crazy but her grandmother thought it was adorable and that it was the key to the code.
- I liked how Parrish described the last code be an already dead pool rather than a deadpool and I wasn't that surprised to learn that all the deaths occurred at Eichen house over the last ten years.
- I liked how Scott decided to spend his time at the bonfire insuring that no one got hurt.
- I liked how Mason told Liam that he wished he'd tell him the truth about what's going on not just because he wants know but because he wants to help.
- I liked how Scott informed Malia that she couldn't actually get drunk and I liked that he tells her about how he thinks that they all need to stick together.
- I was really worried about Stiles and Lydia as soon as they came up with the plan to bribe Brunski because he's a really creepy guy and well him having cassette tapes in his office just made him all the more suspicious.
- I found it frightening that as soon as they got in the records room Stiles noticed that Lydia had added his name to the list. I was really worried about Stiles and Lydia when Brunski came and tasered them both.
- I liked that Braeden impersonated an US Marshall again in order to get information out of Hag.
- I'm glad that Parrish figured out that Brunski was involved in all of the deaths on Lydia's list and how that led him to believe that Lydia and Stiles were in danger.
- I liked how when Lydia noticed that she and Stiles were chained to a support beam that she started yelling for someone to help them and Stiles tried to break free from the chains because he knows that there's a lot of people yelling for help in a place like this so her screams will go ignored.
- I find it disturbing that Brunski sees himself as an angel of mercy with how he believes that he's helping the people by killing them but judging by Lorraine's tape I doubt his victims would agree.
- I liked that when Scott saw that Malia and Liam were acting like they were drunk and then he started displaying the same symptoms he figured out that it was the music causing this happen so he went on a mission to stop it.
- I thought it was sick how Brunski made Lydia listen to the tape of grandmother's last words because he just wanted to have a question answered.
- I liked how Stiles told Lydia not to listen that she could just focus on the sound of his voice and I liked how he yelled at Brunski for trying to make her listen but I disliked how Brunski punched him in the face for trying to protect her.
- I felt terrible for Lydia being forced to listen to her grandmother's last words especially since it was clear that her grandmother didn't want to die but knew she would. I also find it sad that her grandmother die begging Brunski not to hurt Lydia.
- I liked that Mason ended up stopping the music because he wanted to help and even though he didn't understand why Scott wanted the music to be turned up he did it anyways.
- I liked that Scott was able to stop his attacker from lighting himself, Malia and Liam on fire.
- I liked that Derek and Braeden came in and fought the attackers off and I liked how Scott mentioned that Derek didn't have a gun and that Derek's like you're covered in gasoline and Scott's like oh yeah.
- I'm glad that Parrish came just in time to save Lydia and Stiles and that he shot and killed Brunski.
- I liked how Stiles and Lydia put worth their theory about how Brunski was the benefactor who used Meredith to create the deadpool even though it turns out that Meredith is the benefactor and was using him.
- I'm curious about what Meredith's reason is for creating the deadpool but I did like that she was good with Brunski's death because she knows that he's a bad person.
TV Review: The 100: I Am Become Death(1.10)
The 100: I Am Become Death(1.10)Review
- I liked how Finn was concerned about Clarke being at the crash site because he knew her mom was suppose to be on that ship and the passengers on that ship all seem to be dead. I also liked that Raven pointed out that Clarke would want answers so she needed to be at the site.
- I liked how Raven discovered some rocket fuel at the site and that this becomes important later in the episode.
- I liked how it was shown that Jasper become popular around camp after shooting the grounder out of the tree and I also liked how it showed that Octavia was annoyed by his recapping of events and that Monty did his best to be supportive of his friend.
- I found Murphy coming back after being seemingly tortured by the grounders to be an interesting turn of events that clearly caused tensions rise at an already tense time.
- I liked how when Bellamy first saw Murphy was back at camp he was suspicious that he had been working with the grounders and thought that the best way to deal with him was to kill him.
- I liked that Clarke and Finn came to the decision that they should let Murphy recover at camp and then get all the information he has about the grounders out of him and that Clarke says that if he refuses to leave camp after that then they'll kill him.
- I liked how Monty confronted Jasper about how he no longer has a chance with Octavia since she has a thing for a grounder because this is something that I feel that Jasper needs to accept at this point.
- I liked that when Jasper tried to tell Monty that he's just jealous that people think he's cool now that Monty pointed out that he has thought Jasper was cool for years now and it didn't take killing someone for him to see it.
- I'm worried about how Raven doesn't seem to be able to get a signal from the Ark because that means nothing good.
- I found the illness that the grounders unleashed using Murphy to be rather frightening because it just seemed to make people bleed a lot and that it can kill them. Also I liked how Clarke pointed out that the illness was biological warfare.
- I liked how when Clarke figured out that the illness came from being in contact with Murphy and went to see him that when Bellamy walked in on this scene that he was concerned that Murphy had hurt her.
- I liked how Clarke quickly came up with the idea to quarantine the infected that she got Bellamy to start gathering people up with little to no argument.
- I loved how much terror and concern was on Bellamy's face when he learned that Octavia was the one that brought Murphy in and was therefore in danger.
- I liked that some people like Octavia were immune to the illness and I liked that Clarke secretly sent Octavia to go to Lincoln to find a cure.
- I was sad to learn that there was no cure and worried to learn that the illness was only a way of thinning the battlefield and that there was a plan for the grounders to attack at first light the next day.
- I liked how Clarke revealed to Bellamy that he sent Octavia for a cure and that he was really anger about it but on some level it was clear that he understood why she did but that doesn't mean that he doesn't hate that she did it.
- I liked how when chaos broke out when it was clear the quarantine was keeping everyone safe from infection that Clarke shot a gun in the air to get the group's attention and pointed out that they can't turn on each other because it's exactly what the grounders want.
- I liked how when Finn came up with the idea to stall the grounders by destroying the bridge that Raven came up with an idea of how she could create a bomb.
- I liked how when Bellamy figured out that he was sick that he first made sure to let Jasper know that he would have to make the shot to set off the bomb since no one else could since all the other gunners were sick.
- I liked how Murphy started to help in taking care of the sick in order to regain trust from the rest of the 100 so that he could stay.
- I liked how when Octavia saw that Bellamy was sick that she rushed over to him and promised him that she wouldn't let anything happen to him and he reminds her he told her that the day she was born and she tells him he's told her that a million times, I just really loved seeing their love and care for each other they have even though they haven't been getting along recently.
- I liked how Raven took it upon herself to plant the bomb in order to make sure that plan was able to work out and that even when she noticed that she was getting sick it didn't stop her from finishing the job.
- I liked that Jasper did invite Monty along to go to the bridge even though they had been fighting and I liked that at first it looked like he wasn't going to come.
- I liked that Bellamy questions whether Clarke trusts Murphy and that she says no but she says she does believe in second chances while giving Bellamy a pointed look.
- I liked that Finn made sure that Raven was out of the way before the grounders attacked and the bomb went off.
- I liked that Jasper had trouble making the shot at first but then Monty shows up and with an extra gun and tells him he believes in him and in the end Jasper's able to make the shot.
- I liked that the plan with the bomb ended up working and at least stalling the grounders.
- I liked that Octavia decided to stay rather than go with Lincoln because she doesn't want to leave her people. Also I'm worried about what kind of threat the mountain men are since it seems they're a different group than the grounders.
- I'm glad that Raven broke up with Finn because she deserves better than a guy that's in love with another girl but I did like that Finn at least did tell Raven he loves her even though it wasn't enough.
- I found it super creepy how Murphy killed the guy that put the rope around his neck while Raven was sleeping in the same room but I liked that it was shown by the end of the episode that Murphy isn't someone who can be trusted.

Book Review: Hex Hall: Demonglass
Demonglass Review
The second book of the Hex Hall series starts off months after the first book but during this time Sophie really hasn't gotten a lot of answers although she has decided that she wants to go through with this dangerous process called the removal in order to remove her demon powers because she fears loosing control and killing someone. Sophie's father who is also head of the council makes her a deal that if she comes to live with him in England for the summer and at the end of that time she still wants to go through with the removal she can, Sophie reluctantly agrees to this deal after assuring that Jenna could come with her.
Throughout the summer Sophie learns more about her father, demons, her family's history and her possible future as well as uncovering a conspiracy that will most likely lead to war with the eye. I really enjoyed Sophie getting to know her father because I liked how she recognized some similarities between the two of them. I liked that over the course of the book Sophie became more comfortable with the idea of being head of the council one day and that even though she tried to make herself like Cal as more than a friend once she found out that they were betrothed she just couldn't do it.
This book also deals with Sophie coming to understand why Archer was part of the eye even though he's a warlock and also coming to terms with the fact that despite what side he's on she still does have feelings for him. I really enjoyed the banter between Sophie and Archer just like I did in the first book and I really liked how their relationship developed in this one.
Overall I loved this book and it makes me excited to read the next one which is always a good sign. I also continue to love Sophie and Jenna's friendship in this book even though I feel like there wasn't as much of it as there was in the last book it was still great. Please tell me your thoughts on this book.

TV Review: Teen Wolf: Time of Death(4.08)
Teen Wolf: Time of Death(4.08)Review
- I liked Stiles being restless without having Malia in his bed and I thought it was cute that even in his dream he needed to be the little spoon in order to sleep.
- I liked how Scott listened in on his dad phone conversation and I liked the talk that they had about taking someone's life that they had.
- I liked that Agent McCall mentioned that he noticed that Scott and his friends don't handle traumatic situations in the way that most teenagers do and he has a feeling their keeping something from him and he'd like to know what that is.
- I liked that Derek had brought Braeden back to his loft after she was released from the hospital. I liked that Braeden checked on Derek's gunshot wound and said she was just protecting her investment when he asked what she was doing.
- I liked that Braeden figured out that Derek was loosing his wolf powers and I liked that after learning this she decides that Derek needs to learn how to fight without supernatural powers.
- I liked how Liam thought that the plan Scott and Stiles come up with didn't sound safe and I liked that Stiles himself described the plan as borderline idiotic and dangerous and that when Liam asked them if they have ever done something like this before Kira said it was probably yes to both those kind of things.
- Even though I knew that Scott would be okay I really hated the plan because it made it look like Scott was dead and he was so close to death that if the timing was off he easily could have died which really worried me throughout the episode.
- I thought that Melissa did a really good job of faking her reactions to Scott's death and I liked that it's clear she was really uncomfortable about the whole plan since it put Scott at such a huge risk of dying.
- I liked that Noshiko helped advise Kira on what to do in order to make it look that Scott was dead but she also pointed out that the plan was terrible and very dangerous which did little to reassure everyone but Scott seemed to have faith in the plan.
- I liked how when Chris was messaging the benefactor that Scott was dead in order to lure him out that Stiles was upset by his lack of assassin speak.
- I liked that Braeden bandaged up Derek's bullet wound and then she decided that he needed to learn how to fight like a normal human against supernaturals now that he's loosing his werewolf powers.
- I liked that when Derek said he could still win a fight that Braeden gave him a look that pretty much are you for real because really Derek has lost almost all his fights throughout the entire series and now he has less strength, I also liked that she showed him that he couldn't by beating him in arm wrestling.
- I found Scott's dreams to be pretty creepy and I really liked them because they showed how he feared both not being able to protect his pack which was shown with Liam being killed and how he doesn't want to and is afraid of becoming a killer but it also implies that he might have to become a killer in order to protect his pack which is a pretty big conflict for him.
- I liked that Malia snuck into the Hale vault in order to find information about Peter being her father and I liked that during her confrontation with Peter she showed that she really wasn't buying what he was trying to sell just because they are related.
- I liked how Melissa asked Noshiko how she can ask their kids to fight the battles that they do and I liked that Noshiko answered that if she didn't do that she'd be asking them to runaway, I just really enjoy seeing parents talked to each other especially about their kids safety in a situation such as this one.
- I liked that Lydia's mom followed her to the lake house because she knows that something is going on with her and she has no idea what it is and that when Lydia told her that she was trying to figure something out that she offered to help.
- I liked how in his dream Scott mentioned that he noticed last episode that his werewolf teeth now has more fangs and that he worries that he might becoming more of a monster.
- I liked how when fighting the bersekers that Kira and Liam both looked out for each other throughout.
- I liked how Braeden taught Derek how to pull a gun on someone and I liked that there was a lot of sexual tension in this scene and that Derek distracted her by kissing her and then those two really started making out, I really like these two together.
- I find it interesting that Malia's birth mother is known as the desert wolf which means coyote which would explain why she's a werecoyote.
- I liked how Scott told Kira that he feels bad that the two of them have never been on a real date and Kira tells him that there really hasn't been time for one but the both would like to go on a real once everyone around them lives aren't in danger anymore.
- I liked that Chris looked out for Stiles safety in this episode with how he told Stiles to run when Kate entered the room but I also liked that Stiles didn't leave since Scott's body was in the room and Kate was trying to take it which is something they weren't going to let her do.
- I liked that Kate told Chris that she wasn't the benefactor and that her plans didn't involve Scott being dead.
- I liked that it was mentioned that Lydia's grandmother was in Eichen house when she died and that she also heard things which must mean she was also a banshee.
- I find it interesting that Lydia's grandmother's urn was filled with mountain ash rather than her actual ashes which suggest that she could still be alive and that she wanted to protect the lake house from supernatural forces.
- I liked that Chris didn't want to shoot Kate and I liked that Kate knew he wouldn't shoot her and I liked that Kate agree to let Chris go along with his plan to lure out the benefactor.
- I found Scott's last dream he had to be really creepy because it had the mute helping him kill Liam.
- I was pretty worried about Noshiko since she seemed pretty badly injured but from what Kira says it sounds like she'll be okay.
- I'm confused about why it is that Peter wants Scott alive so badly for.
- I liked how Stiles showed that he was concerned about Malia talking to Peter because he knows how dangerous and manipulative he can be. I'm worried that Malia doesn't seem to care whether or not it's a good idea to trust Peter if he can help her find her birth mother.
- I feel bad for Malia thinking that being a murder must run in her family since before she lost control on the night of the full moon she told her adaptive mother she wished they were all dead but I agree with Stiles that killing doesn't run in family and what she did is complete different from what Peter has done.
- I liked how Scott figured out that by the Benefactor not showing up to confirm his death that points to the idea that the Benefactor is a banshee or has one working for him.
