So What Happened?

Well, fuck, right? Everything had truly gone tits up for the Montgomerys (and, y'know, the rest of the entire town!). Ava was minding her own business one minute, fleeing her house the next, while Havensdale was being eaten by the creatures of the night. Yeah, totally fuckin' bananas!

The Bad GuysTM took over Montgomery Manor, but thankfully, the McArthurs took them in. She's been sharing a room with Elena Montgomery (Jackson's room, Elena! Not 'the dead man's bed') but that's not the only reason she's wanted to scream.

Ava can do 'chill' all day long, but everything was a bit much now, don't you think? While she was living with the McArthurs, she'd started to disappear in the middle of the night; wake up in weird places, come home covered in dirt and leaves... The McArthurs started to suspect what Ava might be before she did.

Then one morning around the dining table, Stella McArthur brings it up in front of everyone because there's no way that Ethan-and-Felcity had some love baby (ew!). And they hadn't, of course. Ava was so confused when the overlapping yelling started, but if she'd been paying attention, she would have seen the look her mom and Aunt Andy shared.

And then it all comes out! Ava Montgomery is the bastard child of the weatherman-- Gorgeous frickin' George Weston! Who, BTW, is a SHIFTER, so Ava is also a shifter. And her biological mom? Her Aunt Andy Parker. Try processing that on a Sunday morning!!

Ava has been in the throes of existential dread ever since the truth came out. You know-- what is life? What are any of us? What is the TRUTH? 'Cause everyone is a damn good liar, you know? And where did Danny McReid go? In fact, where did half the town go!? She'd later come to learn about the Resistance.

In the meantime, she sporadically goes back to ex-boyfriend current-whatever Ian Morrison to spill her guts, be messy with, regrettably hook up with-- regret it, rinse and repeat. Now she knows Ian is a witch as well and the truth about Mark coming back from the dead. And all the other messed up gossip in this town.

Ava, of course, immediately confided in her human BFF Rebecca Jacobs. She also suspects that there's something going on with Elena-and-Henry, like, something definitely HappenedTM that Elena doesn't want to talk about. But hey, what happens in and out of the dome...

Does she think about approaching her bio-dad, Gorgeous George, man still currently on TV? Yes. Yes, she does. Has she done it? No, absolutely not!

Wanted Connections

The highlight of Roni's life is watching little baby Ava snark at Natasha for having spied on Tony

You know that Ava shadows Roni like a little duckling, following her everywhere and imitating her every move and expression

Roni is such a proud aunt when it comes to Ava's art, she loves hanging it up everywhere and showing it off to people even when Ava is older and finds it so embarrassing

Roni and Tony are the first people (after Pepper, who was there when it happened) to know about Ava's powers and Roni does everything she can to help Ava figure out how to control them

"So! Since I seem to have... caught some people off-guard..."

"Harpies are entirely female, and originally reproduced via parthenogenesis--essentially cloning ourselves. As the story goes, however, it's said that the ancestral or 'proto' harpies conducted a powerful magical ritual thousands of years ago that supernaturally altered the reproductive system of the entire species, in an effort to improve genetic diversity by allowing us to reproduce with other species."

"Now, this ritual was unique, and all records of how it worked have been lost to time, but it obviously worked--harpies can have offspring with multiple other 'human-shaped' species of any biological sex, including--obviously--humans. My dad is human, for example. The harpy is always the mother, however, and the child is always a harpy. Exactly how get genetic material from the other parent is poorly studied, but it definitely works. My sister and I don't look exactly like our mother, for one."
