#we 2x02

7) So the real estate lady – Mercedes Gardner, I think – is one of Willa’s school friends, and she’s here to buy a lot of properties because, guess what?, property value goes down in a town where a lot of people get murdered by demons and the whole town gets poisoned every other Wednesday. It’s a very interesting point to be brought up in a supernatural show, you know?

8) WTF IS THAT?

And why did it smell like Willa?

9) Ugh, what kind of demons cocoons its victims after jumping at them out of a toilet?

10) ?

Are we looking at a Breaking Bad scenario? What does Doc want to “cook”?

11) Doc is getting the bar. That’s more up his alley.

12) WTF! Creepy-crawlies from HELL are never a good sign!

13) I LOVE WYNONNA!

14) Yep, I love her…

WAVERLY: But what do we do with demon spidey? WYNONNA: Put it on Lucado's desk with a note from me that says…

15) What’s Doc up to? I can’t figure it out! What was he trying to sell to that girl, and why is he offering “protection” now?

16) Why… would ANYONE… volunteer this information after being threatened? I LOVE HIM ALREADY.

Wynonna finds him annoying, Waverly kind of likes him, and he’s a fan of Doc. Kind of reminds me of Andrew Wells.

17) Wynonna feels like she’s being haunted by Willa because of the perfume, but it turns out it was her mom’s perfume. And Waverly is haunted in a different way – she can’t forget Bobo’s words about her not being an Earp. Whose daughter is she, though? And why isn’t she talking about this with Wynonna?

18) Is he… hitting on Doc? Or is this more of a bromance kind of vibe?

Also, hard SAME.

19) Oh, this bitch is gonna get cocooned soon…

20) Oh, damn, I was loving every little thing about this conversation…

WYNONNA: I thought I could keep the team together. I can't be the leader. I can't. I'm only good at busting the leader's balls. DOC: It is alright to miss him, Wynonna. WYNONNA: I didn't know when we rescued Dolls, we wouldn't get to keep him. DOC: He cannot come back here. This is the first place they will look for him. WYNONNA: I never thought I'd see you again either. And then, at the party there you were. DOC: As were you. Both of you. WYNONNA: I would never have kissed him if I didn't think that you were dead. DOC: Come now, Wynonna, we never lied to each other. You are free to kiss whoever you like.

And then…

DOC: As long as they want you to.

Why is he putting so much distance between them? It’s clear he wants her and possibly loves her, and let’s be real, Doc is prone to think with his blood instead of his head, so why is he rejecting her?

Back to their conversation, I really like how Wynonna is tough but also vulnerable and is not afraid to show her weaknesses. She opens up so easily to the people she loves, and I truly love that about her because it’s something that doesn’t come easy for me. I also love how Doc doesn’t hold the fact that she has feelings for Dolls against her because why would he? But it would be very easy for the writers to write them as that Male, you know? He understands and accepts the connection between Dolls and Wynonna.

The one thing I didn’t like – even if I ship these two – is how quickly she dismissed her kiss with Dolls by saying she wouldn’t have kissed Dolls had she known Doc would come back because it kind of cheapens her feelings for both of them. It makes it look as though she only saw Dolls as a stand-in or a scratching post, and as though her feelings for Doc are only relevant as long as he is physically in the picture.

Why is he rejecting her, though? It’s driving me nuts!

21) Okay, so the creepy-crawler has brothers and sisters…

22) Again, a very interesting point of view from a revenant…

EARL: All I dream about is not having to run anymore. WYNONNA: I dream of not having to chase your sorry asses. EARL: It's almost like we're cursed. WYNONNA: I don't know who hates it more, you or me. EARL: We're the ones getting sucked into Hell in a never-ending loop that eats away  at our sanities, so… WYNONNA: You're right. It's totally me. EARL: I don't want to die. WYNONNA: Well, you're in luck. I've just been promised a new way to break the curse. Sold my soul to Black Badge to get it, but might mean not having to kill everyone in sight. EARL: Wait, so we could all be free?

Sometimes the underlying meaning gets lost with all the demons and shooting and whatnot, but these demons are literally in purgatory, cursed to be stuck there for all eternity. They’re in this endless loop of being chased and killed by Earps only to return to earth to get chased and killed by Earps again. It never ends. And I guess working for Bobo gave them some kind of purpose but more importantly, some hope. Hope that the curse could be broken somehow. And that’s gone now.

23) What did he get from the safe?!

And more importantly, why did he want her to know it was him?

24) Okay, he stole documents which prove that Lucado paid mercenaries to off Dolls. And he’s using this information to bribe her. For money. To buy the bar. Or cook whatever he’s going to cook there. I really thought he was going to ask her to pardon Dolls… And on that note, what did Dolls say? Was the message for Lucado?

25) Yep, Teacher Pet/Bad Eggs vibes…

26) Uh-oh… there are two of these thingies…

27) A seal in a basement at an old high school building?

Purgatory is looking a lot like Sunnnydale…

28) Not gonna lie, this was hot as fuck...

But I don’t know how I feel about it happening while Waverly is not wholly Waverly? Is she possessed all the time? Does that black-eyes thingy take control of her at times? Was she herself right now? I hope we get answers to all of these questions…

29) Ugh, Wynonna was opening up to Doc yet again and he turned her down. Again. All because of the cooking going on downstairs. Reverse engineering? Synthesizing? What the hell are they up to?!

30) I like how both sisters are dealing with Willa’s death very differently. Wynonna is haunted and devastated, and Waverly is grateful Willa is gone. They both acknowledge their own feelings, but don’t give each other grief for not sharing them. I gotta say, I doubted burning all her stuff was going to do the trick. The shit that went down with Willa is deep, and it goes all the way back to their childhood, so it’s going to take a lot of time to come to terms with it.

31) YUCK! NO WONDER SHE FUCKING TASTES DIFFERENT! THIS IS HER DIET?!

32) This episode was okay-ish, but it makes sense. It’s early in the season, and there are many things to be set up. I wonder when we’ll find out about what’s going with Waverly, and when Dolls will be back. He’s still in the title credits, so he is going to be back for sure. And what the hell is Doc up to?!
