1) This episode is starting way too merry and jolly to end up well, isnât it?
2) I wish there was a shot of Wynonna saying âwell, thatâs not canonâ because wouldnât that be an A+ meme? Especially because whatâs canon in this scene is the Menstru-Angel!
3) One of the boys is chasing after Santa, and are we gonna get a Santa demon? Because Iâm here for it! Oh fuck, itâs just fucking Bulshar.
Iâm still... not scared of Bulshar? Like, we keep being told how heâs the Big Bad but for the most part, he hasnât done anything truly horrifying yet. And he doesnât look menacing either. Heâs this old chap with a questionable fashion style, is all.Â
4) Wynonna feels weird about their mom being back home and living with them as if sheâd never left, while Waverly is excited at the prospect of spending some mother-daughter time with her. Iâm with Wynonna on this one. It still feels weird.
5) Um⊠so, Wynonna finally tells Waverly that her dad was an actual angel, and Waverly is properly freaked out, and has to force her origin story out of her mom. But⊠Mama Earp just tells her a story a la The Notebook without zeroing in on the fact that this Julian guy was a freaking angel. Why is she not explaining that tidbit of information?
6) OMG I diedâŠ
7) This is the sweetest bromance ever? I loved everything about this scene! Doc telling Jeremy he should get on with some gentleman, Jeremy being offended at the suggestion he canât pass the Bechdel test, Doc being totally clueless about all the cultural references, and the hug at the end? Ugh, theyâre the cutest!
8) What type of Santa Workshop of Hell is this?
It seems like at least a dozen people or so have been kidnapped and everyone is chilling and celebrating Christmas? Priorities, I guess?
9) Oh, okay, people are freaking out. And Nedley is in shock. And Wynonna is making googly eyes at this Charlie guy in the crime scene of a missing kid. At least he saved her, which earns him a couple of points.
10) Do you think Purgatoryâs first families made some type of pact with Bulshar to give up their descendants or something? I mean, there must be a reason why people belonging to these families are going missing.
11) And Waverly is paying a visit to Bobo. Iâm very excited about this, Iâve always enjoyed their interactions so much.
12) OMFG, Doc had no idea that his wife had always been a vampire?? This show is the best sitcom EVER.
13) So⊠is Waverly really an angel? Or is Bobo calling her an angel because of his belief that a woman called Waverly saved him all that time ago and told him to protect her when they met again?
14) Ay ay ay, these two break my heart every single time!
DOC: It is bad luck to refuse a kiss underneath the mistletoe.
WYNONNA: Are you waiting for one or are you offering?
DOC: The offer is always there.
WYNONNA: Maybe you should stick to kissing your wife.
DOC: I have not been with her in a century.
WYNONNA: Oh, so your knife was at her place because your dishwasher was broken? It is not my jam to be the other woman.
DOC: Dammit, Wynonna, you are not the other woman. You're... another woman.
WYNONNA: What does that mean?
DOC: It means, she was my wife. And now you're... someone I've shared something even greater with. More than just romance. We had a baby...
DOC: Isn't it time that we stopped being scared and starting being honest with one another?
WYNONNA: Honestly? I don't know what to do with you.
DOC: You could admit that you love me.
WYNONNA: Let's just get back to work.
Yes, yes, YES, Iâm a sucker for this type of relationships. Heâs always wearing his heart on his sleeve and laying it all out for her, and sheâs so afraid of giving herself to someone that she canât admit she does love him. I just hope nothing happens to Doc before she gets the chance to be honest with himâŠ
15) Nedley is having a hard time coming to terms with his responsibility in this kidâs disappearance (although itâs obvious he couldnât have done anything to stop it.) Heâs questioning his role as a sheriff, and I know this is all leading up to Nicole taking over. Heâs mentioned several times heâs tired, and the idea of passing the torch to Nicole has been festering for a while. I guess if this kid dies, that will be the last drop for Nedley.
16) What is Bulshar doing with these people?
17) So, Bulshar is offing the first familiesâ descendants because their ancestors betrayed him and turned him in to Ward. And⊠how mean is it if Iâd rather little Tim died instead of Jeremyâs boy toy? Oops.
18) Okay, Charlie dude wasnât as clueless as he seemed to be, which is always appreciated. But Doc shouldâve been the one by Wynonnaâs side when they broke into Bulsharâs Little Workshop, kicking ass and calling names.
19) Â Awww, that was sweet!
And little Tim didnât have to die, go figure.
20) This is not a surprise, of course.
21) No no no, Doc left in the middle of Christmas dinner and Wynonna was about to go after him but her mom told her to stay, will these two ever be on the same page? Ever?!
22) That was a nice gestureâŠ
But Iâm still not on board with the Mama Earp train.Â
23) There it is.
Thatâs the meat of the matter, and itâs nice to know Wynonna at least can admit it to herself, and to her mom. She thinks sheâs broken and she thinks she doesnât deserve good things, love, happiness, whatever version of a happy ending one could get at Purgatory. I just hope when she makes up her mind, the writers donât find some contrived plot to keep her and Doc apart.
24) Ugh.
I guess Wynonna can get in the middle of her own happiness all by herself. Iâve got nothing against Charlie, Iâve liked what Iâve seen of him so far. But I canât see him as anything but a distraction since thatâs exactly what Wynonna is going for.
25) Oh, damn, Mama Earp, youâve no idea what youâve done.
26) Waverly is every lesbianâs wet dream, isnât she?
27) Um⊠Nope?
Nonononono
Fuck this. Why couldnât Wynonna be honest with him? He heard the words he needed to hear from her, but it was Kate saying them. And it was so obvious she was playing him like a fiddle. He knew it, too, and I guess it was an easy choice. But what will this mean for him? What will be the rammifications of this choice? Doc Holliday, a vampire? I donât know if l like the sound of that. I guess Iâll have to wait and see how this plays out.
28) A fun episode that advanced a lot of the seasonâs arc a bit, and I canât wait where this season takes us! I still need answers about Waverly!Â

Is the tree possessed by Dolls or something? Why is a tree helping Wynonna and Doc?
And why is Peacemaker not working?
2)
3) Okay, the trees are fucking bleeding and this dude just called it âa murder treeâ and what the actual fuck!
4) So⊠the âfireâ never really happened, it was just a Black Badge cover-up for the massacre. I really want to see where they go with this whole backstory theyâve given Nicole because so far? Not into it.
Nicole does make a good point of asking Waverly why she hasnât talked to her mom yet to figure out who her parents are. She seemed quite intent on figuring it out last season, and here she has the perfect opportunity to have every answer sheâs looking for, and sheâs not taking it? Waverly is anything but a chicken, so Iâd figured she would confront her mother head on but I guess sheâs been conveniently written OOC so that the writers can keep this mystery going for a while. I hope they donât stretch this for too long, though.
5) Why did Nicole randomly and carelessly throw the ring in the middle of the forest? Huh? Thatâs also kind of OOC? Wasnât she talking about disposing of it carefully two minutes ago?
6) MORE OF THIS, PLEASE.
7) And more of this.
8) Okay, so Waverly IS going to see her mother, she just didnât disclose that bit of information to Nicole, why? She just made this big speech about not keeping secrets from each other⊠or is it that she wasnât planning on seeing her mom until Wynonna brought it up and basically set it all up for her?
And suuuure, Mama is doinâ just fine!
9) So, Wynonna couldnât shoot Peacemaker because she ran out of bullets, which is a more logical explanation than what I was expecting. I donât know why but I just assumed Peacemaker had magical ammo and it didnât require reloading? Anywho, look at these two idiots flirting with each other and basically dry-humpingâŠ
10) SHIT. That was a low blow.
But how fucking adorable is it that heâd taken the time to buy - or build! - baby Alice a crib? My heart!
11) Why was their mother so intent on Waverly never finding out where she was or seeing her? And whatâs going to happen when Waverly doesâŠ? There must be a reason. It seems she was trying to protect them.
12) Why are they giving me so much Doc/Wynonna in this episode? Whatâs going to happen? (Listen, Iâve grown up watching Joss Whedon shows, Iâm conditioned to believe that happiness is followed by utter and complete destruction and mysery!)
13)
NICOLE: Can we talk? Itâs about Nedley.
WYNONNA: Not again. How many more plungers do we need?
 14) Wait, did I forget that Jeremy was gay or they havenât mentioned it before? Because Iâm all for it, and especially about the way it was casually brought up in conversation because itâs not Jeremyâs single defining characteristic.Â
15) I guess the mother-daughter reunion is happening sooner than expected, since Waverly was contacted as her last known emergency contact.
16) Jeremy is totally vibing with this Robin dude who found the murder tree and theyâre making silly tree puns and itâs gay heaven, I love it.
17) Well, that couldnât have gone any worseâŠ
And yet, I canât help but feel she means something else? I still feel sheâs trying to protect Waverly.
Something happened when Waverly touched her, too, and then she kept saying âsheâs unbound, sheâs loose, kill the demon.â Waverly of course assumes her mom is referring to her as âthe demonâ, but I have a feeling sheâs talking about an actual demon.
18) I really felt for Nedley when he admitted heâs tired of covering the supernatural shit up. Man, I hated him on the first episode of the show and now Iâve really grown to like him? And Wynonna suggested he should step aside and let Nicole take charge, and heâs actually considering it, and Iâm here for Sheriff Haught.
19) Listen, Iâm not usually into Gay, meet Gay, now get together because youâre the only two Gays so therefore you must be attracted to each other and date, but⊠Iâm really liking the Jeremy/Robin interactions so far? Theyâre really cute!
20) And now theyâre two gays who have zero idea about the woods lost in the forest and they found the stairway to heavenâŠ
21) Mama Gibson is not messing around.
22) Ah, great, the idiots who let a dangerous convict escape have now locked Wynonna up. Marvelous.
23) Damn, Waverly keeps thinking her mother wants to kill her and that she called her a demon, but I just fucking know sheâs talking about a literal demon thatâs probably threatening Waverlyâs life, thatâs why sheâs kept away from her.
24) Wait, what?
NEDLEY: Michelle didnât go to prison because she burned down the barn. She went because her youngest daughter was in it.
Her youngest is Waverly? So did she try to set Waverly on fire? I have a hunch sheâs possessed.
25) Oh, dang, Doc is hearing a babyâs cry in the woods. Of course, this is a trigger for him, heâs thinking of Alice, and heâs being lured into the woods.
26) Major Spike vibes in this sceneâŠ
27) Hm. Bulshar just tried to strike up a deal with Doc â heâll give Doc reprieve from the knowledge of his miserable destiny if Doc does his bidding. And Doc was really contemplating accepting. Donât be weak, Doc. Come on. There has to be a way.
28) So, this fucking corrupt guard suggests they should just off Wynonna and write it off as if Michelle murdered her own daughter when she was trying to escape. And of course, heâs a fucking revenant. Itâs definitely going to be interesting to see how Wynonna gets out of this one while handcuffed and without PeacemakerâŠ
I mean, she was fucking tasered and yetâŠ
QUEEN.
29) Nedley, my heart. Heâs so heartbroken over this.
NEDLEY: Well, I got a call to a situation at the Earp farm. By the time I got there, the barn was lit up like a torch. You... somehow you escaped. I mean, you were covered with soot, you were crying, but you were unharmed.
WAVERLY: And my mother?
NEDLEY: She was... locked in your daddy's patrol car. She set the fire. But she was no murderous sociopath. She was Michelle Gibson. Rodeo spitfire. The wild heart and loyal soul of Purgatory. Even the thugs and the dimwits drank to her. With her. They loved her. Look, she wasn't herself that night. She kept... she kept insisting that... that she was trying to vanquish a demon.
WAVERLY: A demon she thought was... me.
NEDLEY: Well, that would explain The occult nonsense that Ward saw plastered all over the barn before she lit the match. Did you believe it? That was Ward's interpretation. Look, your pop was my boss, so... And I know... I know I should've been braver. I should've defended her. But... I booked Michelle like I was told to. God, this just keeps getting worse. I've been trying to make up for it ever since. I kept watch over you. I tried to set Wynonna on the straight and narrow. That didn't work out. And when I became Sheriff, I pulled the report. I didn't want anyone seeing it.
30) Why would Wynonna let the revenant in on the fact that she got a kid? I mean, wasnât the whole point of sending Alice away to protect her from the likes of him? I get that she used that bit of information to distract him, and yeah, she did this laterâŠ
âŠbut maybe donât go talking about your child out loud around the enemies?
31) Why is he coughing dirt? Is he going to get gay-buried before he can be allowed to actually gay?
32) Now Waverly is listening to her momâs tapes with a psychiatrist or therapist or something, and yep, Iâm still convinced she was possessed or something and the reason she was trying to stay away from Waverly is because she wanted to protect her. As she was talking to the therapist, she said âShut up!â or something like that and she was clearly talking to someone else who was not there, like someone who might be in her own head or that only she can see. Someone or something that might be using her to kill her own daughter. The question is, who and why? Is it Bulshar manipulating her the same way he tried to manipulate Doc? Or is it something else altogether? And why is this something or someone so intent on killing Waves? What is she? What kind of role is she supposed to play in the grand scheme of things for this evil entity to want her dead so badly?
33) Okay, theory confirmed, Doc just heard a third, infernal voice on the tape.
34) Oh shit, is history going to repeat itself?!
Yep, there was an actual demon in serious need of a facial and makeover.
35) Bye bye Robin, I guess?
36) Who the fuck is Jolene and why is everyone acting like Stepford Wives? Is this some sort of Ted/Dawn scenario?! And why is it that, in a supernatural show, this is by far the creepiest thing Iâve seen?!Â
37) So, Iâve got a lot of questions. First of all, I want to know more about the murder trees. How do they come to be? Are they inhabited by serial killers? We saw the face in one of them, and they can actually walk and move around, but why do they bleed? Is it like their victimâs blood? Also, who the fuck is Jolene? I mean, I know sheâs probably the demon that showed up in the barn, but whatâs her deal? What does she want? I mean, she didnât kill Waverly, and instead sheâs feeding and glamouring the whole group⊠to do what? Where was Robin taken? Can we please not do the whole bury-your-gays trope? I expect better of this show. Will Doc accept Bulsharâs deal? Please donât, Doc. And what is Waverly?! Thatâs the biggest question of all, so Iâm guessing the answer will be delayed till the season finale.
That was yet another fun, exciting Wynonna Earp episode, setting up a lot of stuff for the season, I guess. And I want answers!
38) Hope you enjoyed my recap, and, as usual, if youâve got this far, thank you for reading! If you enjoy my recaps and my blog, please consider supporting it on ko-fi. Thanks!
1) Who is the fucker dragging Waverly away?! And the first thing that Wynonna says, even before she fully regains consciousness, is âWaverly.â I love these two sisters, I love that their relationship is the backbone of this show. Also, WTF.
How the fuck did she get there?
2) And I fucking love Wynonna EarpâŠ
3) Is she⊠hallucinating her mother? I was wondering why, out of everyone else in her life, she would be fantasizing about her mother, but I didnât have to wait long to find out. First of all, her ghost-mom reminds her of the survival rules sheâd taught her when she was little. But most importantly, she reminds her that no matter how much pain sheâs in right now, the pain of losing Waverly will be much worse. And thatâs exactly what Wynonna needs to find in her the strength to survive.
4) Is the dude who kidnapped Waverly some time of supernatural weirdo or is he just your run-of-the-mill weird loner guy who lives in the woods and slowly goes batshit crazy? Iâm still not sureâŠ
5) Wynonna canât leave Peacemaker there, canât she? Why isnât it like Thorâs hammer? Canât she just like magically pull it back to her? Anyway, this badass motherfucker is going to climb the fucking rocks wearing a dress and heels. How is not the entire world in love with Wynonna Earp?
6) Oh, heâs not just a weirdo, heâs also a supernatural impersonator. He fucking stole Waverlyâs voice and answered the phone pretending to be her. And now Waverly canât scream for help, thatâs just dandy.
7) âYou ever seen me move when Iâm pissed? Iâm a frigging snow cheetah!â How is everything that comes out of her mouth so iconic?
8) So far, Ghost Mom seems to be doing a good job of helping Wynonna keep her head on your shoulders and not act impulsively, which could end up with both her and Waverly dead. Sheâs following her momâs survival rules, and it seems to be working, and thereâs this little moment when both of them push their hair behind their ears in perfect synchronyâŠ
And I donât know what Iâm to make out of this? Does this mean that Ghost Mom is only a reflection of Wynonna herself? I mean, obviously, she is, itâs a figment of Wynonnaâs imagination and itâs what Wynonna believes her mom would do and say in such a situation. But⊠are we meant to infer that thereâs a stronger connection between the two of them than we were led to believe during the course of two seasons? Ghost Mom also called her a âGibson girlâ â her momâs last name â and also mentioned how Wynonna got her snark from her. Wynonna even jokes that she got the crazy from her. It feels the writers are setting up this relationship as one of the arcs of this season. I guess it makes sense, after Wynonna became a mother herself. But I still donât know what to make of Ghost Mom or Real Mom, for that matter.
9) Jeremy, Nicole, and Dolls have no idea whatâs going on with Wynonna and Waverly, of course, and theyâve figured out that the demon responsible for the massacres is like a Flash demon that got to all their victims within seconds of one another. Also, the massacres may continue. Cool. Cool cool cool.
10) Jeremy is the biggest sweetheart in this show and heâs the biggest fan of literally everyone. I felt so bad for him when Dolls told him to get a life or something and stop bothering him, and did Jeremy get butthurt? No, he told Dolls heâs fighting for him, and my heart swelled a little. Heâs the best. He was such a great addition to the gang. At least Dolls had the decency to indulge Jeremy with his pop culture references before leaving, and it was a nice way to say he was sorry and that he appreciates everything that Jeremy does.
11) OMFG, Wynonna was a Hanson fan, just like I was!
12) Not liking Ghost Mom right nowâŠ
WYNONNA: Why me, though? You never brought Willa or Waverly, it was always just you and me...
GHOST MOM: Willa was Ward's right from the get-go, and Waverly... She was everyone else's, but you... Ooh, you... You came into this world wailing and kicking just like I was so I wanted to make sure you could survive by yourself. But you know what? Being an heir, it has made you soft.
WYNONNA: What's that supposed to mean?
GHOST MOM: It means... You're leaning on your team of outlaws and misfits.
WYNONNA: They're my people and I trust them.
GHOST MOM: Yeah, well where the hell are they? It's been hours.
WYNONNA: I don't know.
GHOST MOM: Yeah. The moment that you rely on someone... to protect you, be there for you... you're dead.
Is this Wynonnaâs own fear, that her relying so much on her friends is making her soft and weak and vulnerable? Because I feel that her relationships with everyone else have made her stronger. I hate the idea that a hero canât be vulnerable, you know? Itâs like what Buffy says, âmy emotions give me power.â If you donât have bonds and love in your life, is there really a reason to fight at all?
13) âWe are the same, Wynonna, and that is what scares you, how similar we are.â Alright, yeah, definitely Wynonnaâs own fears manifesting themselves via Ghost Mom. I mean, obviously, sheâd conjure up her mom at this moment! Waverly is in danger, and she fears sheâs going to fail her just like their mom didâŠ
14) Wow, Doc is having an existential crisis after being shot by Dolls and going to hell in the alternate reality. Heâs afraid that being good and doing the right thing is pointless if heâll end up in hell with all the other demons anyway. But⊠I mean, he went to hell in that other reality where he had embraced his dark side, you know? How does he know that heâs destined for the same here and now? I wouldnât think so. And damn, Dolls has some truth bombâŠ
DOC: We are murderers, you and I. Destined for the dark.
DOLLS: We're not the same. Because I don't need a threat of damnation to fight for the right side.
 (EDIT: how did I not realize this was foreshadowing Dollsâs death?! And these words will probably haunt Doc... this was basically their last conversation...)
15) Nicole found the truck!
16) Hannibal the Impersonator is using Waverlyâs voice to lure other people into the cabinâŠ
Is he a revenant, though? He seems to be, but what about his weird stealing-voices power? Do revenants get special powers? I mean, Bobo did, but I thought he was an exceptionâŠ
17) Jeremy is also so emotionally healthy? Like, he immediately called Doc out on assuming the worst of people and basically told him to get over obsessing over losing his immortality. But⊠why didnât he call Dolls like Doc told him to? Is he also assuming the worstâŠ? Does he not trust Dolls?
18) Oh, my god, Waverly and Wynonnaâs entire âcharadesâ conversation was fucking priceless!
19) I laughed and I also awww-ed.
DOC: You trust Wynonna's instincts?
NICOLE: I helped her kill the revenant she had sex with!
DOC: Let me rephrase. Do you trust her instincts about Waverly?
20) Are Waverly and Wynonna really having the you-didnât-tell-me-about-mom talk right now, in this life or death situation? Of course they are.
21) I DIED!
Wynonna doesnât have Peacemaker, so how is she going to fight the revenant? It should be interesting to see her fight without her special powerâŠ
22) So Jeremy also assumed the worst about Dolls. Interesting.
23) Like Buffy said, when scary things are scared, thatâs bad news. The revenant almost shit his pants when Waverly mentioned Bulshar. Wynonna used her wits and booby-trapped him, so good on her. But look whoâs stalkingâŠ
Does he have nazis with him or something?
24) So⊠Waverly didnât take it too well. And I get it, it feels like sheâs been made a fool by everyone she's ever trusted. She doesnât even know who her real parents areâŠ
25) Nicole is going to climb down the rocks and get Peacemaker back like a boss.
26) Uh-oh⊠I guess Jeremy was rightâŠ
Why is he saying that Wynonna is going to need Waverly more than ever?
27) WTF!!!
Fucking ghost terminator nazis!
28) Nicole is literally hanging from a wire and trying to get Peacemaker back! And I think Dolls is going to wolf out and get rid of the fucking nazi but will probably lose his soul in the process? I didnât think the chilliest part of the episode would be a fucking voice-stealing cannibal revenantâŠ
29) Nicole is asking Wynonna to let go of the wire⊠ what the fuck is this episode doing to me?
30) Why did he smile before doing this�
Was he saying goodbye? Was that why he said that Wynonna was going to need Waverly more than ever?
31) Heâs dead, and Nicole is trying to resuscitate him, and Wynonna and Doc are losing their shit⊠I wasnât expecting this in episode twoâŠ
She doesnât want to leave his side. Damn.
32) Wow. This is heavier stuff than Iâd expected at the beginning of the season, especially after the heartbreak of giving birth to Alice only to lose her in the season finale. I feel like this episode is a game-changer, obviously because of Dollsâ death, who is going to take up his role? I mean, Nicole had become sort of his disciple, but no one can really fill his shoes, can they? Thereâs also the heavy emphasis on Wynonnaâs relationship with her mother, which I think will definitely be one of this seasonâs arcs. And thereâs the dooming presence of Bulshar, who still needs to introduce himself in a more memorable way.
I donât know what to make of Dollsâ death, though. Personally, I wasnât so attached to his character as to feel devastated, though I was truly shocked and if Wynonna cries, then I cry. Thereâs also this nagging feeling that no one can be really dead in supernatural shows unless TPBT wish it so, you know? Thereâs always a small chance he might return, in different forms â either through flashbacks or because he might actually be brought back from the dead.
Anyway, Iâm super excited to see where this season takes us!
33) Hope you enjoyed my recap, and, as usual, if youâve got this far, thank you for reading! If you enjoy my recaps and my blog, please consider supporting it on ko-fi. Thanks!
Sheâs taking a holiday from dealing, happily vacationing in the land of Not Coping. When she breaks down, itâs going to be awfulâŠ
2) The idiot revenants are mocking her about her baby, they truly are stupid. Yep, sheâs sweeping the floor with their asses.
3) Jeremy grew a mustache wtf.
Heâs going full-blown bromance with Doc, isnât he?
4) Doing a power walk with your posseâŠ
EXPECTATIONâŠ
REALITY...
5) Who the fuck are these super extra, grill-wearing, purple-smoke hipsters?
The girl just touched the Sheriff and he invited them in and holy hell! Theyâre vampires! We got vampires! How did I not immediately guess they were vampires when I described them as extra and hipsters? Of course!
Theyâre very subtleâŠ
So, just with a touch, they can glamour people? Is that it?
6) Waves and Nicole are in bed, and theyâre all jokey about Nicoleâs marriage and Waverlyâs make-out sesh with Rosita, so I guess theyâve already worked through their issues. It wouldâve been very interesting to actually see them work it out, and not just have this post-coital love bubble.
7) Why is this turning me on?
I guess itâs also turning them on a little bit, so weâre all on the same team⊠That is, until Doc brings up their baby, who is 19 weeks by now. Ouch.
8) She really wants to make things right with him⊠I guess my ship is not dead yetâŠ
He wonât touch me unless weâre training and he wonât talk to me unless heâs angry. So I keep him training and angry.
So heâs obviously still not over the âgiving up the babyâ thing, which makes total sense. But how is Wynonna feeling? Iâm guessing sheâs absolutely wrecked, hence all the drinking and partying. I wonder when or how the show will address this.Â
9) Hmm. Waverly brings up a memory about their mother, but Wynonna doesnât mention how sheâs been seeing her. Iâm guessing this is a Big Secret thatâs bound to come out during this season, right? The question is, why did their mother leave and how and why did Wynonna keep in touch with her?
10) Nedley is wearing a scarf around his neck and Iâm guessing heâs been bitten.
11) Well, someone enjoyed a good olâ feast, didnât they?
Nedley was very adamant that âthey didnât do thisâ, that is to say, the vamps. And now Nicole is saying that these massacres have been happening since the 1920s, carried out by a group self-ascribed as the Cult of Bulshar. Cool. Cool cool cool.
12) Well, some light has been shined on those final scenes from the season 2 finale. Nicole, quite conveniently, waited nearly 5 months to tell Wynonna and Waverly that when Mercedes mentioned Bulshar it rang a bell, and Dolls gave her some BBD files â the ones we saw her holding in the last scene of the season 2 finale. Waverly seems to have no issue with this, but Wynonna is definitely taken aback by learning this information just now. I think she feels she hasnât been let in on some key information about the demon that has been after her family for ages. Of course, Nicole and Dolls were probably just trying to protect the Earps and figure out if they could fight this demon without endangering them. But it is kind of odd that Dolls has chosen Nicole as his confidant and that heâs purposefully withholding information from Wynonna...
13) Nicole seems to be triggered watching the whole crime scene, which coupled with the fact that she mentioned having heard the name Bulshar before probably means she was either A) the daughter of one of the people attacked by the cult, or B) witnessed one of these massacres as a child, or C) both.
14) Cool, Waverly and Nicole have both been glamoured. And the vampire boss bitch told Waves she needs them as âtributes.â Is this some Hunger Games shit?
15) Oh, sweet tween JeremyâŠ
16) SoâŠ
Is their mom in a mental hospital or in prison? It looks like a prison, but she also looks a bit⊠deranged? But can it be a prison? We saw Wynonna meeting her in a mountain or something like that⊠Anyway, Wynonna keeps asking her to tell her more about Bulshar, but she wonât budge. She doesnât trust Wynonna will be able to break the curse and she fears she might endanger Waverly.
17) The vampires want to turn Doc into one of their own. The only catch, in order to prove that itâs really him, he has to endure torture. I donât know who is in charge of the recruiting division in this vampire undertaking but thatâs not how you lure new recruitsâŠ
18) Okay, so itâs a prison. But what is she in prison for? And why does Waverly seem to believe she simply left them? Okay, Wynonna just answered my question â their Dad told them to hide the truth from Waverly, which makes sense when she was a little kid, but Iâm betting sheâll be super pissed when she finds Wynonna has been keeping this tidbit of info for almost two decades?
19) Wait, what did I miss? Dolls just turned towards Wynonna all meaningful looks and what-not, he said âWynonnaâ, they stared at each other, and then he just got off the car â and left his cheeseburger. Who the fuck does that? I hate it when characters do that shit with food in movies and TV shows! But seriously, what did I miss? Was this a âDolls almost confessed his feelings but thought better of itâ moment? Or was it just his lactose intolerance kicking in...?
20) Cool. So now, everyone but Wynonna and Doc is under the vampiresâ influence.
21) So, the Vampire Boss Bitch and Doc have history. Go figure. She called him an asshole, so she must know him pretty well.
22)
23) So everyone has been glamoured, pimped up, and now theyâre taking down Wynonna. I guess itâs all in Docâs hands, now.
24) So, the vampiresâ plan is to either turn or eat everyone in town. And everyone is super cool with it because theyâve been glamoured. Except Nicole seems to be remembering something, sheâs called herself a survivor, the survivor⊠of one of the Cult of Bulsharâs massacres, maybe?
25)
I thought Dolls was glamoured, too. Heâs either telling the truth or heâs setting Wynonna up.
26) âWeâre gonna need more stakes.â Wynonna is going full Buffy and Iâm fucking here for it!
27) Not⊠your best⊠zinger, WynonnaâŠ
28) Vengabus, ooh, that reference is carbon-dated! And I instantly got it, what does that say about me?
29) OMFG, when these vampires get staked they turn into purple dust! But⊠wait⊠when they arrive, they do it surrounded by a cloud of purple fog? Does that mean they use other vampiresâ ashes to give some pizzazz to their entrance?
And as each vampire gets staked, the glamoured people become unglamoured and they are starting to kick some vamp ass! I mean, look at Nedley!
30) âI will not get ate while tied to a stripper pole.â You know, good for you, Doc, we all need to set goals for ourselves. And thatâs as good as any.
31) Oookay�
She told him theyâve done things to her she doesnât want done to him, and asked him to stay in the Vengabus, but of course, he didnât.
32) He just jumped through a window and staked a vampire who was about to eat Nedley and now theyâre smiling at each other and slowly walking towards each other and Iâm dead!
They look so hot, why arenât they kissing already?
33) Wait, is this Bulshar?
Is this how theyâve shown the face of the Big Bad? An underwhelming reveal with little warning?
34) These twoâŠ
Theyâre finally acting amicably, without angry training or silence treatment. Wynonna feels elated that heâs having a drink with her again like they used to, and they toast to Alice, which is the elephant in the room. I mean, who better to understand how each of them feels about giving up their daughter than each other? They really need to be each otherâs person for this.
35) YES!!
My OTP is alive!
(it kind of looks like Wynonna has a mustache, though)Â
36) Hahahaha! Dollsâ face when Wynonnaâs compares Waverlyâs âwarm and tinglyâ description to peeing in the showerâŠ
37) So, Dolls is egging Wynonna on to talk to Waverly, Iâm guessing about their mom, and he canât help but take a jab at her for choosing Doc, and I thought he was over the whole fighting with Doc over Wynonna? I guess not.
38) Okay, I totally saw this coming:
NICOLE: Iâm starting to think there was a Cult of Bulshar survivor once. And it was me.
39) And just when Wynonna was about to tell Waverly about their motherâŠ
And now Waverly is being dragged from the wreck and taken away?!
I did not see that coming!
40) This was an interesting season opener, with a much lighter tone than I expected and barely touching on the unresolved issues from last season. Bulshar seems to be the Big Bad, but for one, his reveal was lackluster at best. Suddenly, the camera cut to his face and that was it. He was just standing there. Not too ominous for a Big Bad. Nicole is about to be given a Big Backstory, so I guess that will be interesting to find out, although I think I wouldâve been completely fine with her just being a regular human who stumbled upon the supernatural, you know? Jeremy is still having a bro crush on Doc, and I love it, especially because it goes both ways (I totally caught Doc telling the revenant that Jeremy is a vegetarian, which continues to cement the fact that they know each other very well, theyâre buddies!) Waverly and Nicole seem to be on solid ground, but I wonder how figuring out where she comes from will affect Waverlyâs relationships with Nicole and Wynonna. All in all, a solid, fun episode, although probably not one of the showâs most memorable ones. Very excited to see where this season takes us, though.
40) Hope you enjoyed my recap, and, as usual, if youâve got this far, thank you for reading! If you enjoy my recaps and my blog, please consider supporting it on ko-fi.Thanks!
1) The writers are actively trying to use Waverly to awaken the lesbian/bisexual in all their confused female viewers, right?
2) Wynonna just fucking did a backflip WHILE PREGNANT and then proceeded to high-five her unborn child, and here I am, eating pancakes and struggling to reach the remote that fell under my chair.
Sheâs quickly climbing up my favorite characters list, though.
3) Wynonna is not the only one interested in Docâs ring, apparently.
And this old demon dude reminded me of the old demon dude from Buffy? You know, the one that sliced Dawn up in the tower? Same creepy old evil guy vibes.
4) Dolls just gave Rosita a gift card so that she can take Doc on a coupleâs retreat or something? Weird way to get rid of the competition, but okay.
5) WYNONNA ASKED THE NIGHT OFF AND THE HOUSE TO HERSELF BECAUSE SHE INVITED DOC OVER FOR DINNER AND I MIGHT JUST DIE OF ALL THE FEELS.
6) They found The Creepsterâs body, and Iâve never been so happy to see a carbonized corpse, hallelujah!
7) The Creepsterâs sister is trying to make up excuses for his creepy, criminal behavior and Nicole is not having any of it but Waverly told her to stop... telling the truth? And I get that theyâre not seeing eye to eye at the moment and I do not condone what Nicole did and I get that Waverly is trying to be respectful of the Creepsterâs sisterâs feelings, but⊠being dead does not erase all his wrongdoings and awful behavior, people do not automatically become saints once they die. If you were an awful person while you were alive, then you should be remembered as such. And the fact that his sister is trying to justify his behavior by saying that he loved Waverly âin his own wayâ is vile.
8) Doc bought the picture for Wynonna and the baby and I knew the old demon guy must have put some kind of glamour on him (or it?) because the painting did not look as creepy when he decided to buy itâŠ
9) Wynonna made dinner for Doc and sheâs feeding him and heâs pretending itâs tasty and this is everything I have ever wanted.
10) And the painting keeps changing� Is it alive?
The freaking doll is straight-up staring at them.Â
11) The cupboard just opened by itself when Wynonna said the third seal was Docâs ring and Iâm here wondering if it is just a coincidence or if some Paranormal Activity shit is about to go down. Iâm hoping it is the latter, tbh.
12) Well, the reason Wynonna was trying to sweeten Doc up is that she wants his ring so that she can break it and release Clootie and release the demon that is WORSE than Clootie so that she can kill them both, while pregnant, I presume. Doc is less than excited, of course. And now the creepy doll is out of the painting and Iâm 99% sure sheâll show up soonâŠ
13) Rosita invited Waverly to the spa and this is definitely one of the scenes Iâd seen a million times on my dash when I hadnât watched the show. Iâm trying to figure out why? Is it only because itâs two girls wearing bikinis in a hot tub? Or does something relevant to the plot or to the characters development happen here?
14) And yes, something creepy is watching both Waverly and Wynonna.
15) IâVE DIED AND GONE TO HEAVEN. THIS IS HEAVEN.
Wynonna is trying to convince Doc to willingly give up his ring so that she can destroy it and release both Clootie and the very, very scary unnamed demon, and heâs not having it. He believes destroying the ring would be his death sentence, and Wynonna argues that heâll just be as mortal as any of them. Doc is truly terrified of dying, isnât he? I guess the question is, does he love his agelessness more than he loves WynonnaâŠ?
16) And now she called him selfish â which is kind of accurate, to be fair â but thatâs not going to get you what you want, you impulsive doofus! He wants to leave but they canât find the keys, and Iâm 99% certain the little girl from the painting stole them. Yep.
17) Wynonna just stopped Doc from leaving by baby-bumping him????
18) Doc told Wynonna how he hid and listened to his dying mother cry and beg and pray every night until she died, and you kind of understand why he wants to hold on to life so much, right?
19) Waverly just texted NicoleâŠ
WAVERLY: âDear Control Freak. I will talk to you when I want to talk to you. Until then, have a nice life hurting the people that you love.â
And now Iâm afraid something terrible will happen to Nicole which will make Waverly regret sending this text.
20) Oh. I get it now.
WTF Waverly! This is a million times worse than the text! Also, kind of love how Waverly got all hot and bothered with Rositaâs SCIENCE TALK.Â
21) I TAKE IT BACK, THIS IS WORSE!!!
22) And now he says that he came back to save her from his sisters? WTF, Frosty Creepster!
23) By the way, IS ROSITA REALLY DEAD?!
24) Wynonna and Doc are arguing about the ring and theyâre about to physically fight and this creepy doll is responsible, right?
25) Oh, shit, they werenât dead, the creeperâs sisters were NOT DEAD!
The widows stole their faces?! I guess they probably wish they were dead.Â
26) Ugh, Wynonna and Docâs argument really escalated and sheâs saying some awful stuff and nowâŠ
âŠwhich she said she would never do? I gotta believe it was the creepy dollâs influence.
27) ROSITA SAVES THE DAY!
WTF!!!!!!
Sheâs been a revenant all along?!!!! Is that why Doc offered her protection when they first started working together?Â
28) Dolls hung up on Jeremy because he was being annoying and Jeremy just threw himself in front of Dolls to save him from the Widow!
29) Oh, no, Doc just said heâs always known Wynonna would be the death of him and threw the ring at her andâŠ
Phew, Wynonna shot the doll, but the things they said⊠theyâre out there. And while they may have used the cop-out of saying it was the influence of the creepy doll, they basically admit that the doll might have brought those feelings to the surface but they were there, to begin with. Awkward, am I right?Â
30) This is as close to an âI love youâ as heâll ever get, right?
WYNONNA: Doc, this is it's about something bigger than us.
DOC: The demon Clootie.
WYNONNA: Our baby. I mean, I need to do that on my own terms, but I promise I won't break the seal. Not until after. We we need a plan. But when that plan is in place, I will break it with you by my side.
DOC: Do you swear?
WYNONNA: I do.
Fuck, itâs almost as if he was proposing, isnât it?
This show fucking plays with my emotions because I feel these two are not getting back together (I may or may not have seen gifs of Wynonna and Dolls as a couple... oops!) and yet they keep putting them in situations like this, and I feel like itâs baiting, you know?Â
31) SoâŠ
She paralyzed him, told him sheâd be his girl, and proceeded to⊠eat him? Iâm not sure I understand whatâs going on.
32) And the other sister seems to have figured out where the third seal is. Coolio.
33) I KNEW IT! Waverly thinks sheâs half-revenant!
34) OH FUCK!
I knew that text meant Nicole would be in danger and Waverly would regret sending it! But why is the widow there??? Thatâs not where the third seal is, is it?
35) Fun episode, I really liked how the characters were paired up and sort of on adventures of their own but which are all connected to the main arc somehow. But it lacked the epicness of the previous episode, which is definitely one of my favorites so far. Of course, this one served to pave the way for the season finale as we quickly approach it. Canât wait to watch the next one!
36) Hope you enjoyed my recap, and, as usual, if youâve got this far, thank you for reading! If you enjoy my recaps and my blog, please consider supporting it on ko-fi.Thanks!

1) Waverly confronts Bobo and the widows, certain that Bobo wonât hurt her. He admits he might not, but he wonât help her either. In an uncharacteristically honest moment, he admits that caring about her has only brought him pain. Waverly quips that no one said parenthood was easy. And IâM FREAKING OUT? IS THIS HER WAY OF CONFIRMING BOBO IS HER FATHER?!
2) Thankfully, Wynonna arrives on time, but Peacemaker is completely useless now that the seal is broken and this MOFO is waking upâŠ
Shit is about to go down and IâM NOT READY. Iâm really curious to see what Clootie looks like, though, I feel heâll look something like the Master.
3) The sisters take a breather before all hell breaks loose, and I appreciate itâŠ
You know what else I appreciate? Wynonnaâs top priority â making sure Doc is not dead.
4) Well, Dolls is not dead, which is good, but not the answer I was expecting.
5) I truly appreciate the brief moment of levityâŠ
6) So, this is what she had figured out before she went poofâŠ
7) Wynonna is terrified that Doc might be dead now that the ring is broken. Iâm Jeremy, btw.
8) Iâm sorry, but is there anything more badass than trying to save the world while youâre about to give FUCKING BIRTH?!
9) WTF! Clootie is going to have Wynonnaâs baby for dessert???!!
10) Oooh, I kind of saw this coming but I didnât want to get my hopes up!
MERCEDES: Actually, I want a separation.
MERCEDES: Chopped my way into the 21st century. The world has changed. Hell, look at Wynonna Earp. She is 10 times the gunslinger Wyatt ever was and he put Bulshar in the ground! I want that ring!
Iâm really into this new form of empowerment? Evil ladies also need to break free from the misogynistic ties to their evil lords. You go, Glenn Coco! Or Elsa, I guessâŠ
She just took off and buried Bobo, Clootie and her sister. Does this mean that the seasonâs Big Bad was Mercedes all along? And not Clootie! Damn, I really love that plot twist!
11) The Iron Witch says the plate only works as a shield, and these two badass motherfuckers are not having itâŠ
Can they look any more badass?! And I really wish they had allowed Wynonna to say fucking!
12) Dolls finds Doc at his homeâŠ
Heâs having an existential crisis over being mortal and heâs basically contemplating suicide. And I almost believed he couldnât take not being ageless anymore, but it was the possibility of living a mortal life in a Wynonna-less world that was pushing him over the edge because the second he heard she was still aliveâŠ
Itâs like his soul returned to his body⊠and now heâs willing to die but for an entirely different reason, and I swear to God, I choked up during this whole scene. Does that make sense? Am I an idiot?
13) I guess thereâs no better time for confessions than when facing the possibility of absolute and total obliteration. In a few seconds, Waverly breaks the news to Wynonna that Nicole is married and that sheâs not Wynonnaâs sister. Wynonnaâs reply is quick and certainâŠ
A lot of emphasis is placed on the bloodline in this show, considering the whole hereditary curse. But nothing as volatile as blood would ever get in the way of Waverly and Wynonna. They are sisters if ever sisters there were.
I truly love how there was no hesitation. At the same time, I wonder if the lack of hesitation means Wynonna had considered this possibility before?
14) Okay, Wynonna literally has one shot to kill Clootie, get rid of the Widows, and break the curse. Cool. Cool cool cool cool.
15) Jeremy and Nicole are having this super sweet momentâŠ
JEREMY: And, uh, I stay because I don't fit in here. But none of you ask me to. I'm allowed to be me.
NICOLE: You're part of the family. And being part of the family means...
AND THEN THIS FUCKING ELSA FROM HELL BURST INTO THE ROOM AND NEARLY GAVE ME A HEART ATTACKâŠ
And please donât tell me that weâre using the âput Nicole in perilâ schtick again! And weâre adding Jeremy into the mix! Just great!
16) THE BABY IS FUCKING COMING AMIDST ALL THIS DEBACLE!
17) IâM FUCKING DEAD.
Sheâs my queen, I love her, Iâd sell my soul for Wynonna Earp, Iâve said it.
18) Oh, the other McBitch just arrived and is threatening Waverly while Elsa says Wynonna is the weapon sheâs been looking for, and what the fuck is going on?
19) Wynonnaâs sigh of relief and barely noticeable smile when she sees Doc is alive, thoughâŠ
I leave for these moments.
20) NOT THESE FUCKING MOMENTS, THOUGH! WHAT THE HELL ARE THEY DOING?!
21) UGH THESE TWO MOTHERFUCKERS ALMOST GOT ME!
Two birds, one stone. These two! They could convey their plan using a code they could only understand! Why arenât they together?!
But thereâs still Clootie and Bobo, rightâŠ
And the baby is comingâŠ
22) Ugh the fire-assholes have shown up, they offed Wynonnaâs doctor and theyâre coming after the baby!
23) WHATâS THE FUCKING PLAN? WHAT WILL THEY DO WITH THE BABY? IS NICOLE GOING TO TAKE THE BABY AWAY? Theyâre talking about crossing the triangleâŠ
24) WTF ROSITA!!!!!!!
THIS FUCKING EPISODE DOESNâT LET UP!
25) Bobo has gone SpikeâŠ
So Clootie or Bulshar or whoever sucked something out of Bobo and Bobo offered up Waverly as the Big Badâs new bride WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK!
26) Great. JUST FUCKING GREAT.
27) Oh, thank god, something worked out!
Wynonna basically willed Peacemaker into accepting Waverly as an Earp!
28) Brendan Fehr is saying that Wynonna is going to corrupt the baby and screw it up and Iâm like⊠Brendan Fehr, I was rooting for you!
29) Damn, Dolls!
At least they died in their element. Get it?
30) When you try to come up with a good comeback and you justâŠ
31) I guess Iâll just have to get used to Bobo never being back for more than two episodesâŠ
32) Iâm not crying, you areâŠ
I'm the Earp heir. They're always coming for me and everything I love. I don't want to. I didn't realise how much I wouldn't want to. You're the coolest thing I ever did. You're going to have it much better than me. I promise.
And Waverly is taking the baby away and Wynonna is asking her to make sure that Doc gets a moment with him and Iâm here, dying.
33) Waverly and the baby just crossed over the border and neither of them burnt, which means that the baby is Docâs and the revenants donât have any claim over it. But what does this mean for Waverly? Whose daughter is she, then?
34) Wynonna just offed the whole gang of revenants, but it doesnât really feel satisfying at all when her baby is being sent away minutes after being bornâŠ
35) Did Jeremy just used Waverly and Nicoleâs ship name?! HE FUCKING DID!
36) Perry is taking the baby as a way to thank Wynonna for saving his life. Cool dude.
37) And now Doc is meeting the baby and I WONâT SURVIVE THIS SHIT!
I CANâT BREATHE. EVERYTHING HURTS.
38) Bobo just got a holiday for one in the well, and he admits that he never said Waverly was his daughter, just kin. I repeat, what does this mean for Waverly? Who is her father? Doc confesses that when Dolls shot him, he was sent to hell. It remains to be seen how long he was there - if it was a few hours or a few centuries, and what impact this will have on himâŠ
39) Wynonna named the baby after both of their mothers and Iâm a messâŠ
This is not the happy ending I wanted for these two.
40) Thereâs so much I donât understandâŠ
The woman narrating is Wynonnaâs mother? And sheâs ALIVE? Has she been alive this whole time? What about the secretive look between Dolls and Nicole? Is she having second thoughts about her divorce? And what about the folder she was holding with info about Bulshar? Is she working with Dolls behind Waverlyâs back? And how can Jeremy and Waverly be acting so carefree when everything is a mess?
If Wynonnaâs mom is alive, thereâd better be an explanation as to why this was never brought up before. It doesnât make any sense!
I need Alice in Wynonna and Docâs life, okay? This canât be the end of that storyline, I just wonât accept it.
41) Amazing season finale, full of plot twists and emotional moments. Iâll admit I shed more than one tear. I truly canât believe how the show continues to be so fast-paced and engaging. There never is one minute, one line, one scene wasted â everything has meaning and is relevant to the plot, and it never lets up and Iâm so excited to see what they have to offer in season 3, and hopefully, Iâll catch up before season 4 premieres!
This show is quickly climbing up the ladder of my very short and exclusive list of favorite shows, I swear. Iâm already looking forward to rewatching it and discovering things Iâd missed the first time around.
42) Hope you enjoyed my recap, and, as usual, if youâve got this far, thank you for reading! If you enjoy my recaps and my blog, please consider supporting it on ko-fi.Thanks!
1) Theyâre doing a Dolls retrospective in the previously-on and oh God, itâs going to be one of those episodes, am I going to cry my heart out?
2) Wynonna is sad, drunk, and angry â a dangerous combination. Yep.
3) God, they even changed the music for this episode⊠Theyâre really going for emotional devastation, arenât they?
4) So, the vampire lady that had Doc all tied up in the season opener is back. He called her Countessa, but then she begged him to say her name, and I wonder if this has some other meaning? Like, maybe she needs him to say her name for some spell or something? I donât know. Anyway, apart from being a vampire, she moonlights as a seer. And she tells Doc that sheâd seen a warrior would die â Dolls â and that he should give up trying to get with Wynonna because she loved Dolls, too, and heâd be forever competing with Dollsâ ghost. Ouch.
5) Really, dude?
6) Waverly and Nicole are having a very important conversation that everyone should have with their loved ones â what happens with my remains when I die? Iâve had this conversation several times with different people and theyâre all very much aware of what I want to be done with my body, but I guess Iâll be dead and they can do whatever they want and  Iâll never find out. Anyway, Nicoleâs wish is to have a sky funeral, which sounds whimsical and cute but itâs actually pretty gross.
7) Uh-oh. Waverly has just found out that her father â well, not her father-father, you know what I mean â had only made arrangements for her motherâs and Wynonnaâs burials, not hers⊠and thatâs so unnecessarily cruel? Did they adopt her or were they charged with her? I really need to find out whatâs the whole story about Waverly and the Earps!
8) Wynonna is in denial. She continues binge-drinking and shooting Peacemaker, but sheâs not finding any peace. Itâs Doc who can finally comfort her and convince her to pay their respects to Dolls. They actually comfort each otherâŠ
9) Who dis?
10) Waverly is kind of freaking out, saying sheâs hungry and how that reminds her that Dolls will never eat again and then she starts laughing (her little breakdown reminded me a bit of Anyaâs in The BodyâŠ) and Doc then smashes a glass against the wall (kind of like what Xander did in The BodyâŠ) Theyâre preparing a wake for Dolls at Shortyâs, which I guess weâll end up being more like a sad party with everyone getting drunk and shots being fired because nothing can go right in Purgatory, not even a wake.
11) So, I took an instant liking to Star Hand guy for some reason, and thankfully, he seems to be Dollsâ friend. Doc is demanding evidence, as he should. Question is, how did he find out Dolls was dead? Is he a Black Badge agent, too? Did he come here to say his goodbyes or is he going to be a mainstay? And with this Iâm reminded ofâŠ
12) Hmm. I have some questionsâŠ
NICOLE: My parents were travelling again and they told me I could go to this music festival with my aunt and uncle. Here.
WAVERLY: In the Ghost River Triangle?
NICOLE: There was an attack. A man in leather. So much screaming and blood.
WAVERLY: The demon Dolls killed at the cliff? Bondage Bob?
NICOLE: For years, my parents just told me that everybody died in a forest fire and that I had... I had somehow escaped, but... you know, it just didn't explain the nightmares.
WAVERLY: Yeah, I've... I've heard them.
NICOLE: Last spring, when... Widow Mercedes said his name... Bulshar... it was like this shotgun went off in my head. And Dolls helped me. He got me files, he... he told me that... Black Badge had been covering up these massacres for years. The Cult of Bulshar.
Iâm not sure Iâm on board with this backstory they gave Nicole literally out of nowhere? And the same demon that committed this massacre is the guy Dolls killed on the hill? The one Waverly names âBondage Bobâ? I just⊠I donât totally buy it. I know it could be completely possible for her to have suppressed these memories because of trauma, but⊠it all feels a bit thrown together at the last minute? Why couldnât she just be a human, a kickass human but a human nonetheless? Why does she also need a supernatural and traumatizing backstory? I donât know, Iâm still a bit iffy about the whole thing.
13) Will this turn into a supernatural version of âP.S. I Love Youâ?
14) Obviously, Dolls knew he was going to die, hence the ominous letter. Wynonna takes it out on Jeremy because he knew and he was trying to help Dolls but he didnât say anything to anyone else, trying to respect Dollsâ wishes. Wynonna feels betrayed, but I donât really get why? First of all, all of them know they can die at any time, thatâs part of the gig, right? So yeah, Dolls being aware of his own mortality shouldnât be that surprising considering his line of work. Second of all, they all witnessed that this dragon-power was taking a toll on him, didnât they? Am I crazy? So yeah, Wynonna might have pretended it wasnât an issue, but she knew, they all knew⊠I guess itâs easy when youâre mourning someoneâs death to have someone to blame, but Jeremy hardly deserves it.
15) So, Quinn, Xavierâs friend, is all chummy with Doc and Iâm here for it. Wynonna asks Doc if he knew Dolls was dying, and Quinn is like âduh! Of course, he was!â, which was exactly my reaction. Wynonna is not an idiot, so she had to be in complete denial not to see that he was dying. Anyway, apparently, he was also Black Badge.
16) Oh, great. The fucking revenants stole all the serum Doc had concocted for Dolls and are streamlining it. This should end well.
17) So, Jeremy placed a coded message for Dollsâ friends to come to his funeral. See? How can you be angry at Jeremy?
18) Wynonna wonders why Dolls didnât attempt to do anything to get better, and the answer is blatantly obvious for both Quinn and Doc â because of her. Iâm guessing sheâll take this information to further flagellate herself over Dollsâ death.
19) The vampire lady, Katalin, stole Waverlyâs purse, for some reason, maybe sheâs a klepto or something, but she didnât use any of her vampire powers to do it? Like, she just grabbed and took off, awkwardly running in her heels? Kind of disappointing, but also super hilarious.
20) AyâŠ
21) Waverly enlists Doc to help her get Dollsâ letter back, and they sneak out all secretive, but⊠itâs a wake with literally 5 freaking guests⊠I think the three people left will eventually notice theyâre gone?
22) âWhy torture yourself? I donât.â HA! Yeah, right!
23) Quinn suggests that Black Badge is not really gone â well, duh â and that they might come to retrieve whatâs left of DollsâŠ
24) Yep. A bunch of jacked-up revenants have just crashed the party. Coolio.
Thatâs alright, Wynonnaâs got it.
25) I do appreciate a good early 00s callbackâŠ
26) WTF
27) OMG, Waverly trying to lose it and turn the table but realizing itâs too heavy and then just throwing the cards on the floor and giving a little shout? *chefâs kiss*
28) Oh, shit, Katalin now knows what Waverly is?! What is she???
29) Aw, Nicole just set Wynonna straight, told her that everyone is grieving Dolls just as much as she is and that she should go apologize to Jeremy. I do really love their quiet yet strong bond.
30) Quinn is fucking torturing Jeremy with a goddamn stapler and why does everyone keep treating Jeremy like crap? Quinn wants to get Jeremyâs drugs to become a dragon and storm BB headquarters. Wynonna gets through to him by admitting that she is also haunted by the ghosts of the people she lost, but their best revenge is to go on living. Be brave. Live. For me.
31) Ouch, I didnât know that something as small as Wynonna giving Quinn Dollsâ badge would hurt like a bitch, but it did.
32) Damn, damn, damn.
That whole scene simply destroyed me. Wynonna finally decided to cremate Dollsâ body to prevent BB from coming after it to continue experimenting on him. And then they bury him, each of them placing a personal item that symbolizes their relationship to Dolls. It fucking devastated me.
33) Waverly asks Wynonna what her plans are for when she passes, casually mentioning that she doesnât have a spot on the Earpâs burial site. Wynonna doesnât make a big deal of it, and instead, tells Waverly that they will live for about another 80 years and then, theyâll be buried together at the homestead. Thatâs all the reassurance Waverly needs. She might not be an Earp, but sheâs Wynonnaâs sister, and thatâs all that matters.
34) Damn, Dolls.
35) Does Katalin spend the whole day playing with her Tarot cards? #quarantinemood
So⊠she admits that she only stole Waverlyâs purse to get Docâs attention. They have a short conversation about the days of yore and thenâŠ
Damn Doc, he canât just keep it in his pants, can he?
36) That was an emotional rollercoaster of an episode. Dolls wasnât one of the characters I loved the most, but I understand how important he was to the narrative and to each of the characters, so Iâm glad to see he got a proper send-off. I really hate it when shows gloss over the aftermath of a main characterâs death and skip forward all the grieving and uncomfortableness of mourning. That being said, this being a supernatural show and all, Iâm skeptical that this was the last weâll see of Dolls. Anything can happen, right?
37) Hope you enjoyed my recap, and, as usual, if youâve got this far, thank you for reading! If you enjoy my recaps and my blog, please consider supporting it on ko-fi. Thanks!
1) Nicole and Waverly are in the middle of this revenant warâŠ
âŠand honestly, just before watching this episode, I was wondering what the ramifications of Wynonna vanishing from existence would be. Does this mean that everyone sheâs ever killed is still aliveâŠ?
2) Oh, so Waverly remembers Wynonna at this point! So what happened between her vanishing and now?! At least Iâm glad to hear Waverly knows how to get her backâŠ
3) What the actual fuck! Did they all just blow up?!
Thatâs a crapload of information for the first minute of an episode!!
4) So⊠clearly reality has been altered, and old Doc does not have a clue what this Alt!Doc has been doing. Apparently, heâs the âbossâ of the revenants now, and heâs killed many of them since the ring has gone missing, which is the alt!reason he was in the well - looking for the ring. But Doc remembers Wynonna and heâs mind is set on finding her, he doesnât care about the ring at all. Iâm really interested in seeing what was the chain of events unleashed by the erasure of Wynonnaâs existenceâŠ
And damn, he truly is the bossâŠ
5) âWithout Wynonna, IâmâŠâ What was he going to say?! I need to know! I need to know how he perceives Wynonnaâs influence on him! I know what was her impact on him, but I need to hear him say it!
Well, instead of protecting Rosita and dating her, Alt!Doc kidnapped her and has her shackled in a shed. Of course, after realizing what his alter ego has done, he immediately releases her and asks her to take him to Waverly⊠GIBSON?! She changed her name! And Xavier is the deputyâŠ
6) Mercedes The Widow is still being held by Xavier, who canât really remember how they captured her in the first place. She seems to believe that without Wynonna, she and her sister are free and Dolls and the gang will all die. But why would she let Xavier know that he should be looking for a woman?
7) Damn, Alt!Doc is vicious! He scarred Xavier with a knife and apparently blew up the power plant, lumber yard, and Nedleyâs house, Iâm assuming with nedley in it. DAMN. Doc mentions âherâ and it seems to trigger something in Dolls, but itâs not enough yet to make him remember Wynonna. And now theyâre throwing Doc in the same cell where the Widow isâŠ
8) WaitâŠ
2015? So this means that in Wynonna-less universe, Nedley was killed even before she got to Purgatory?
9) And now Nicole is putting on lipstick and getting ready for someoneâs visit and thank god, it is Waverly⊠but Waverly is obviously engaged to someone else and Nicole has clearly been pining over her all this time, thatâs as sweet as it is sad.
10) Nicole is wearing a wedding ring because she was indeed married - as we learned in the previous episode, but she canât remember why sheâs wearing it. Waverly, on the other hand, is sort of having second thoughts about marrying âhimâ. (Who is âhimâ by the way? Is it the douche she was dating at the beginning of the show? Champ, was it?) And even in a completely different universe thereâs this undeniable gravitational pull between these twoâŠ
Kind of reminds me of Willow and Tara in Tabula Rasa, you know? Memories erased but their mutual attraction survivedâŠ
11) Now, thatâs interesting⊠the Widow has run out of poison.
12) So this is who she is marrying?
Thatâs one of the guys who had made the deal with the demon, using the cup that the Iron Witch used to vanish WynonnaâŠ
Alt!Waverly keeps talking about wanting to escape Purgatory, which is basically the opposite of what our Waverly would do. And we also learn that they almost got married three times⊠How canât she tell thatâs a huge warning sign and that maybe she shouldnât be marrying at all?
13) Huh. I guess Alt!Waverly has the same issues with her partner as regular WaverlyâŠ
WAVERLY: Because knowing something about me before me is a total invasion of my privacy?
What he found was the MAN who killed Waverlyâs family, does that mean weâll see Bobo againâŠ? (I guess in this reality it wasnât Wynonna who accidentally shot their dad...)
14) YES MY PRAYERS HAVE BEEN ANSWERED!
Iâll never stop wanting Bobo back! And Bobo, just like Dolls, can tell that reality has been altered. He tells Waverly that she has another sister, Wynonna, who is missing and whom she needs to find, but of course, heâs a fucking madman so why would she believe her? Thereâs one thing, though, Wynonna's influence wasnât completely erased, considering Bobo still let Waverly leave as a result of Wynonna traveling to the past, saving him and telling him her name was Waverly⊠So there are echoes of her existence, I guess? Bobo did say she was âshadedâ, so that means that sheâs been hidden somehow but still there, right?
15) Oh, Widow McBitch is still trying to raise ClootieâŠ
âŠbut itâs not working because it requires both of the widows to perform the ritual. I guess sheâs going to break her sister free now.
16) This is some Back to the Future shit, isnât it?
17) Called it.
At least Doc is out, too.
18) I truly love how Doc got to Jeremy, like, he truly knows Jeremy?
19) Doc next visits Waverly, who is terrified at the sight of him and that probably hurt him badly considering Waverly had always had a soft spot for him. Damn, I really love what they did with Doc in this episode? Thereâs no Wynonna, and he couldâve so easily jumped on the âIâm the townâs bossâ wagon, he was a king in this reality, probably the kind of villain heâd always wanted to be, but Wynonnaâs influence and presence is too strong to ignore it. Heâs a changed man because of her, and even if she doesnât exist, he canât revert to his old ways. There was no hesitation, no âwell, maybe I could get used to this...â And to see him going around town trying to rally the troops and convince them that heâs a good guy and that thereâs a better reality is just⊠*chefâs kiss*
20) DAMN HE WENT THERE!
HE ACTUALLY SHOT DOLLS! But at least he feels bad about itâŠ
21) WTF NOW DOLLS FUCKING SHOT DOC!!!
THIS IS THE DARKEST TIMELINE AND I HONESTLY FEEL LIKE TROY...
22) Damn, I know this isnât real and yetâŠ
At least he told her how to bring Wynonna back before he died, right?
And she fucking cried? She was terrified of him two minutes ago, but when she saw him die itâs like she remembered she loved him?Â
23) Nicole canât keep it in her pants and I love itâŠ
WAVERLY: Youâd do that for me?
NICOLE: Iâd do a lot of things to you.
WAVERLY: âForâ. âForâ me.
NICOLE: Yeah, that, too.
24) Dolls is about to die and heâs instructing Jeremy to âlocate the assetâ and âcomplete the missionâ and I have no idea what heâs talking about but I do get thisâŠ
And he remembered Wynonna right before he diedâŠ
25) And the Iron WitchâŠ
âŠhas lost an eye, had a shitty life and had her sister killed by the season 1 killer Jack of Knives⊠I guess sheâs a cautionary tale for the old saying âbe careful what you wish for.â
26) The Iron Witch lifts the glamour for a few seconds, which allows both Waverly and Nicole to remember what brought them here and who Wynonna is, and I just⊠Waverlyâs face when she remembers her sister just about killed meâŠ
And how they describe her? Warm and funny and insanely protective? Yes to all.
27) Bobo is on the loose!
They need to get into the homestead, which has been taken over by revenants, and who better to get you through a sea of revenants than the king of revenants himself, right?
28) Jeremy and Rosita jumped to the conclusion that Black Badge must be behind the time-altering spell by tainting the townâs water supply with drugs⊠for some reason?
29) Why do I fear that Wynonna will be back right after these two assholes raise their Big Bad of a husband�
30) Okay, so they need to remove the talisman that Bobo made Waverly bury when she was a little girl, which allowed revenants to walk on the homesteadâs ground⊠and while theyâre digging and digging the Widows are getting closer and closer and the revenants are approaching them as well⊠itâs chaosâŠ
31) âAlso, I think Iâm gay.â Okay, this is definitely a callback to Willow in Tabula Rasa!!! Thereâs no way this wasnât done on purpose!!!
32) And now Rosita is fucking dead! Who else is going to die in this reality? Seriously, Iâm getting some serious âThe Wishâ vibes hereâŠ
33) EVERYONE IS GOING TO DIE. Waverly is going to blow the trophy and themselves up to bring Wynonna back!
34) One more for the roadâŠ
35) They did it. They blew everything up and now theyâre themselves again.
But is Wynonna backâŠ.?
36) And Boboâs still here! What does that mean? Iâm happy, but why?! How is that possible? Does that mean that Dolls and Doc are still dead?
37) Bobo is making a deal with the Widows, fuck, Bobo! Donât betray me like this!
38) Wynonna is back! And sheâs still pregnant, thank god! I thought she might have been sent to another dimension where the time goes by at a different pace and the baby might be a teenager by the time they were returned to this reality...
39) OH FUCK.
Sheâs having the baby at the same time that Clootieâs been raised!
40) Well, that was an interesting episode. I liked the exploration of what Purgatory and everyoneâs lives would have been like had Wynonna never existed, although I think some things were not as I wouldâve imagined them. I also kind of feel this was something that couldâve been explored a little bit more? It felt kind of rushed. I mean, it was a major spell, erasing someoneâs existence, and I guess considering Wynonnaâs impact on everyoneâs life, her absence was bound to be noticeable, regardless of how powerful the spell was. But for the viewerâs sake, it wouldâve been interesting to explore this world a little bit more? I donât know, I was left wanting. Of course, thereâs no reason why we canât go back to this universe again in the future, right?
And while I found a lot of parallels between this episode and Buffyâs âTabula Rasaâ and âThe Wishâ, I like this showâs take on the whole âmemories erasedâ trope because of two reasons: 1) Wynonnaâs absence and the echoes of her existence were truly felt, kind of like what happened with Peter Bishop in Fringe, and 2) even if the spell was broken, it still had repercussions⊠Bobo is still alive, for once. And although weâre still lacking an explanation for that, I think itâs interesting the writers chose to make the spell have actual real-life consequences because itâs easy for supernatural shows to explore other realities in this way and then once the spell is broken, nothing of what transpired in the episode has real consequences. But this is not the case here.  Like I mentioned, Bobo is back. Clootie is out. And weâre yet to find out if Dolls and Doc are aliveâŠ
Everything is a mess going into the season finale and I canât wait to find out how they wrap up this season!
