So from the beginning, I totally got the Pied Piper vibes. Town has an issue, guy says he can fix it for a price, the town agrees, then refuses to pay, so the guy takes the kids a payment. Depending on the version you read, the kids are killed, some survive, or they are taken to “paradise”. For some other trippy stuff, the original tale hales from Hamelin, Germany aka West Ham, and pfeiffer basically means piper in German. All that to say, I’m loving this reimagining of this fairy tale, it’s always been a favorite! 

Next, what is up with the dog??!?!!? How can he go between universes? Is he a shapeshifter? Could he secretly be the bus driver? What happened to the other two bus drivers and how were they able to “drive” back into town if everything got cut off??

Why was Elle happily playing the piano at the end of the last episode? Is she planning to fuck shit up? Will she try to kill Campbell again?Which leads me to loving how they’re showcasing the power of abusive relationships especially in a world where there’s no real escape from it other than death. Incarceration has proven not to work, and all of the other solutions Elle has tried basically blew up in her face. Ugh I feel for her so much so it will be interesting to see how she solves that problem. 

How are Harry and Lexie going to manage the Guard and Campbell? Like that last look they shared totally screams that they fucked up. They have no clue what they’re doing. The guard has already proven that they have no self control, and with Campbell egging them on, there’s no telling how bad everything is going to fall apart. Puls, Campbell basically blackmailed them, so they can’t really get out of it because if they tell the truth: chaos, if they don’t tell and it come out anyway: chaos, if they do something Campbell doesn’t like, and he tells everyone as payback: Super chaos. All Campbell cares about is Elle (in his own twisted way), and the power and pain he can exert over others. The more people are focused on others, the more opportunity he has to constantly cause power disruptions which he feeds off of. 

And now there are several people that they don’t have control of that know the truth. How are PTB going to deal with them? Are the one that know the truth going to try for a coup or are they going to just lay low while slowly infecting the rest of the teens with their secret info?

SAM AND GRIZZ!!!!!!!!!!!! My little dumplings! I know they won’t stand for any of this, but how are they going to save the day especially since they’ve barely made up over the Becca situation. Also who is the real baby daddy??? And why can’t none of them tell the truth???

Finally, will we learn about how the parents found out that their kid are “dead”? Will we see more of what’s happening in West Ham? Ugh, they need to renew season two ASAP!  

Arei: Dude. This is all so good I BARELY KNOW WHERE TO START?? 

I love the parallel to the pied piper. It’s EXCELLENT. 

I think the dog–ok actually IDK about the dog. But maybe, if someone/something dies in New Ham they get sent back to West Ham? Maybe? That’s sorta my thought–cuz it’s heavily implied Campbell hurt the dog, right? So that’s my theory on doggo. (Mostly I’m just really relieved the doggo is ok??) 

Elle is so broken. Like. I just want someone to take care of her, and no one is, and really no one CAN until Campbell’s dead, and I’m worried they (Showrunners) won’t take that leap because they need him to be the bad guy we all hate in ourselves. I do look forward to seeing how his abuse shapes her–I want it to be like Sansa in GOT, where she comes out stronger for it, but I’m afraid it’s gonna break her. Like actually break her. So. We’ll see. 

The thing about the Guard is they’re not intrinsically bad. They’re just very easily led. And they’re getting just enough half truths and manipulation from Lexie and Campbell that they’re becoming bad. Not because they want to–just. How things with half-truths and manipulations usually work–they’re dangerous and do more harm than good. (I found the Guard and Lexie to be very eerily similiar to MAGA and Trump, honestly, but I could be projecting my own fears on fiction)

Sam and Grizz–god, Grizz broke my heart? Like I get what Sam is doing and why–but he is hurting Grizz SO MUCH and I just want to hug him and give him warm blankets and cookies so he’ll feel better. And also, you know, make Becca tell us the damn truth about her baby daddy. 

I am surprisingly unconcerned with the parents? I know they’ll factor in, but i don’t have anything invested in them yet. So. We’ll see if the show can change that for me in season 2. Which. Netflix, that’s a thing that’s happening, right??? 

1. Stiles is essentially given a list of the unmarried Hales and told to pick one. He knew this day was coming, his marriage was always going to be a political match, so he’s prepared. He lays out his choices, and there are bets riding on whether he’ll choose Derek or Cora. When he announces “Peter Hale,” the only person who collects money is his mom, who saw it coming from a mile away. 

2. Peter is just as shocked as everyone else (barring Queen Stilinski), and wonders what the hell the prince is playing at. He accepts, obviously, because to turn him down would be to start a war when they’re trying to broker a trade agreement. 

3. It’s been years since he’s been to the Stilinski kingdom, but he’s pleased and slightly astonished to see that Prince Stiles has grown from a clumsy, angled child into a beautiful adult (although still a little clumsy.)

4. Their interactions are closely monitored, but there’s something about Stiles’ manner that makes Peter unsurprised when he climbs in Peter’s window at 11 the first night of his visit. 

5. Peter has one question he needs answered before he can proceed with getting to know anything about his future spouse. “Why did you pick me? Why not my niece or nephew? They’re closer in age, and also closer in line to the throne.” 

Stiles just waves his hand. “I don’t know them. I don’t really know you either, but I know enough to think that we’d be a good match.”

“The last time I was here, you were twelve. What could you possibly know about me?”

“Lady Birmington,” Stiles says. “She was being quite rude, do you remember?”

Peter did remember. There had been a ball during his stay, and Lady Birmington spent most of the evening loudly criticising the brand new relations between the Stilinski and Hale kingdoms.

“You offered her a drink,” Stiles continues. “She spent the rest of the evening in the lavatory.” His eye twinkles. “It was an appropriate response to what was more of an annoyance than a serious threat, and also subtle and untraceable to anyone who wasn’t a twelve year old boy hiding under a table so he wouldn’t have to dance.”

Peter’s understanding throws Prince Stiles into a whole new light. His upcoming nuptials are suddenly much more appealing. Stiles however, isn’t done talking.  

“It also doesn’t hurt that you’re far more handsome than any other member of the Hale kingdom,” he continues casually, coming significantly closer than would be allowed under supervision.

“Erica, we’re on a timetable here, please stop ruining people’s lives for a minute.”

Erica looked at Stiles, offended.

“’Ruining’? Excuse you, I am blessing them with the visual gift of me in this bomb ass suit,” she protested, taking a another sip of her coffee while ensuring the line of her body presented maximum effect. 

Stiles rolled his eyes as he finished adding sugar to his drink and cream to Peter’s. 

“You’re giving a suit fetish to everyone you meet. That’s what you’re doing. The guy in the corner is going to have to spend hours reorganizing his porn bookmarks now. He’s going to question everything he thought he knew about his own kinks. You’re causing psychological distress.”

He picked up the drinks and headed toward the door, Erica close behind him. 

“Him?” She jerked her thumb over at the man who was still slack jawed and staring. “He’s incidental. I was aiming at her.” This time she nodded toward the girl at the table next to him, whose face was definitely a few shades pinker than normal. “Besides, it’s not like you can talk. I’m pretty sure Jackson and Lydia only got back together so that they'll have double the chance of getting you into bed.”

Stiles snorted as they exited the shop and headed for the car.

“Maybe, but at least I’m not actively encouraging it.”

“Why not?” Erica demanded. “You could be the filling in their sandwich and then tell me all about it.” She wiggled her eyebrows. 

“Erica, what have I said about your voyeuristic tendencies?” came a voice from inside the car.

Erica pouted.

“To save it for the kink forums,” she replied to Peter, getting into the backseat. 

“Save it for the kink forums,” he repeated firmly. “Besides,” he said with a sly smile. “Stiles is more interested in being an entree than a sandwich filling, aren’t you darling?” 

Stiles rolled his eyes and shoved Peter’s coffee at him, cheeks slightly pink and a smile pulling at the corner of his mouth.
