[S05.E06: The Old Switcharoo (2)]

I think Audrey splitting off Mara is much more interesting than just having Audrey waking back up and saying "hey guys, it's me". I suspect Mara has to stick around for the gang to get information about the troubles, or past versions of Haven-savers. It would be worth keeping Mara around if we could discover the circumstances her and William got imprisoned, and by whom? I'd love to find out that story.

 

Audrey becoming a "normal" woman would also clear the way for her to be with Nathan once all as said and done. I think it's going to become apparent to Nathan very soon, because he would notice something's  not the same the minute he touches her.

I did not quite understand how the past lives trouble separated out only Audrey.

Well, as mentioned above, Audrey did not go through the whole "process"-her personality wasn't entirely gone since Nathan shooting Agent Howard destroyed the barn.

Very interesting episode.

 

It's funny, I had a theory that Audrey would "split" from Mara's body, sort of like Clark Kent splitting from Bad Superman in Superman III (best part of that movie, BTW).

As it turns out, that seems to be what happened-Audrey's been "freed" and is now her own person. Which also probably means she's not Trouble-proof.

 

I liked that Mara seemed to be legitimately frightened of Duke letting out a trouble on her. I also like her whole look of "well, that's new" upon seeing Audrey.

 

So after all this time, we finally hear about the Colorado Kid again, and Dave has something to do with it. Nice tie-in to the fact that nobody at the time remembers what happened to kim.

 

I dunno, if I had switched with my brother's body, and he had me locked up as a crazy person while boning my wife, I might be a tad ticked off.

Mara capitalizes on the latest crisis, forcing Duke and Nathan to roll the dice to get Audrey back in a dangerous gamble.

In terms of Jax's endgame....I believe Marylin Manson (who guested last week) once sang a song that featured the lines'

 

"Let's just kill everyone...and let God sort them out! FUCK IT!"

[S05.E01: See No Evil]

Welcome back, show!

 

I'm not sure how long they're going to go with this "Mara" has taken over thing. The question seems to be just when-and how-Audrey takes back over. The last scene would indicate that it might already be happening. Given Nathan's insistence that Audrey wouldn't "let" Mara kill him, it was a bit surprising that she actually did. But then Nathan was all "I'll love you, Parker", and then something happened. I'm not sure if she was physically unable to pull the trigger, or just felt something very odd in her. Maybe both. 

 

I wonder if the end result will be Nathan and the gang getting Audrey back, but at the cost of being able to end the troubles for good. As for right now, Audrey better come back before Dwight and/or Duke do something. That might turn out to be a good thing-I think the Mara personality has to "die", for Audrey to take over again.

 

I'm sad that we won't be seeing Jennifer this year (EB pretty much confirmed it on twitter). I liked her delightfully goofy character. Although I would really not like her absence take all the funny out of Duke. On that matter, I liked how, when Nathan told him that Mara took down Dwight, he said he'd "never let him hear the end of it".

 

Yeah, Dave's sealing the pathways. I wonder if Mara's figured that out already, as she was legitimately surprised everyone knew where the soft spots were.

 

All in all, nice to have this show back. :)
