Really glad that KM’s Kristina didn’t automatically get paired with a guy. I am enjoying Blaze with her. Also liked that Blaze didn’t come down on Kristina for her feelings about the baby. I do think if TJ/Molly or even Alexis heard this they would really overreact. Also pleased that they got an actual love scene and not just a kiss and then they are in bed together. Have to think that the Stone name drop is a mislead as I don’t think John would use his brother and son’s name like that.

So Anna, Dante, and Jordan all had issues John and the Feds not wanting to share and work together and what do they do when the Feds start working with them? They work on a plan to get information before the Feds and discuss the case with unauthorized personnel. Yeah can’t stand Diane’s smugness. Really annoyed that Finn was cleared but Diane didn’t really lose. I really wanted her to suffer a humbling loss.

Okay maybe the feds would be more interested in working with you if Anna and Jordan hadn’t pursued the case after being told not to when they were not law enforcement and then withheld information.

I have to admit I like the new actor playing Jagger/John. Granted Jagger was leaving right when I really started watching as a kid. (Started watching when the Spencers came back). So I am not really as bothered by the recast. Hopefully he remains a noncorrupt and competent law enforcement agent. I do like that even though he was reluctant he still went to Sonny to warn him as it was the right thing to do. I don’t think they are trying to sweep away what happened between them before as when Sonny tried to put them on equal footing for treating Karen bad since Jagger cheated on her, John shut that down. I hope that they allow him to discuss what Sonny was like when he was first brought on. Watching old YouTube clips of them and wow I remember Sonny being pretty bad but they were already working on redeeming him a bit when I started. Also funny about the recast as watching these early Jagger and Karen clips there is a switch of actors playing AJ from a guy who looks more like Alan/Ned and BW AJ but taller then comes Sean Kannan later on. Kind of think this new actor would probably have been a better recast for Drew than CM. I do think the heavy handedness of the Nina is bad/wrong is just ridiculous only to be matched by Carly is awesome and can easily do what Nina can do but only better.

This was a good episode but not sure if that is because it was good or this season has set the bar low. Ric is dying soon. That speech with Josie screamed dead man walking. Usually love Kaleb but his whole attitude towards MG is confusing and annoying. Wow Elena's house. Ric really is dead. Hope and Lizzie reconciliation was too soon and forced.

I really hope that this was intentional by the writers and not them not remembering their own show but Hope saying Landon would do the same if things were reversed was ridiculous since he was telling her basically the same thing MG was telling the group when the Saltzman family was in the prison world. Hell he was against Hope astral projecting because he thought it might be too dangerous.

The best I can say about this episode is that it was a good season 3 episode. It definitely better than other episodes this season. So are we supposed to be rooting for Hope and Landon? This episode didn't really make me want to root for them. MG and Lizzie are still having the best scenes this season. Though there was an issue but I will bring that up later. Liked the Cleo and Kaleb interactions but worry the show is going to force it too fast like they do with Josie's relationships. There has to be some twist with Landon coming back. Either that isn't really him and the stalker is the real Landon or maybe that stalker is tied to the wish Hope made. The episode had some weird editing. The Hope/Jo/Finch scene was apparently longer based on promo pics released before the episode. Also Lizzie helps MG steal the ascendant before the scene where she and Alaric finds out Hope went to Josie for help.

From what Alaric said they must have scooped up the contents of the leprechaun's belly and paid back the townies. Not sure what they were paying back but he did say they still had enough to pay the lien off. This and last week's issue bring up a problem the show has: Caroline. There is no way in hell she would have allowed these issues to have occurred. Hell I doubt she trusted Alaric to pay the taxes. Regarding MG and the ascendant, the reason was briefly mentioned in 3x4. As long as the Necromancer remains in the prison world Alyssa was safe since technically she is still bound to him and could do to her what he did to Chad and almost did to Raf. I think that everyone was willing to believe Alyssa had destroyed it. I think MG did lie because he cared for her and wanted to protect Alyssa. I think he kept it a secret not wanting others to get mad at him but also because he had searched the prison world and couldn't find Landon. I agree that there is something up with Cleo but not sure she will be bad. Also have a theory about Finch. She is kind of giving off the Tyler vibe season1. I think she will end up a werewolf and will end up activating her werewolf side after killing Ethan. He won't die as will get turned so that those two can be brought to the school and bring Josie back.

Oh show why do you hurt me like this? This could have been a fun episode but again this Landon storyline is choking the life out of the show. Everything revolves around him, Hope's obsession, why the school is in financial trouble, why MG is going to be getting flack in the next episode, and hell you can even connect Josie's storyline to Landon since she isolated herself because of the dark Josie period but that came about because of Landon's brother and Josie being jealous and protective in regards to Landon. We need more MG and Josie scenes along with Kaleb and Lizzie scenes. Best parts of the episode.

When he first came on I hated that he was basically brought in to be Emily's love interest and another wayward teen to go down the mafia path with Sonny. I wanted him to be Sly, Lucky's cousin. If they could bring him back I would want him to be Sly still or maybe even Lucky. He is needed back on the show.

For the love of God let this be the end of the Necromancer and the grieving for Landon with full flashbacks. Both have overstayed their welcome. Like Cleo so far but will need to see more her and how the writers write for her. Not feeling Finch and Josie. It feels like they are trying too hard with them. Hell at this point I prefer Josie and Ethan together based on their interactions so far.

Lizzie and MG astral projected into the prison world like Hope did last year and Jeremy was able to do with Kai's help in TVD. So they just use a magical item to make a wish with very little known about it, what could go wrong?

Better episode. Still the continuous killing Landon off only for him to be brought back is getting ridiculous. Not sure what to think of the whole forgetting about and then remembering Hope and Landon being done off screen. Certain things are still being rushed or just handwaved. So is the fact that the therapy box has twice concluded that Hope and Landon shouldn't/can't be together without Hope sacrificing other parts of herself supposed to make want them together or not? They really put little effort into Josie's female love interests. What are the odds this one gets more then 3 more episodes?

I think it was one of the writers who said this episode was going to be an emotional roller-coaster but they were wrong. Rollercoasters have a slow build up reaching an apex before coming hurtling down. This episode was more like a waterfall. Emotionally felt flat while speeding to end which crashes straight down. Is Landon's dying again or Hope and Landon being apart again supposed to have an effect on me? It is honestly surprising how badly they have written Hope and Landon compared to how well they are building up (hopefully) MG and Lizzie. I am invested in one pairing while wanting to badly separate the other. Interested to see what Josie how she does on her own. P

The episode was fun for the most part. I don't think they really gave Kaylee the best songs to show her range but Chris, Danielle and Jenny had some good songs to shine with. I can't stop shaking my head at some things I had read from fans before the episode especially about Kaleb being Damon. It really was racist while proclaiming there problem wasn't that he was black but just didn't have the right look/feel to be Damon but were also the ones who thought Landon would have been a perfect Damon. Yeah the Bonnie criticism is fair in her treatment but not being in the scenes we saw of the play. The criticism of not having enough female characters on the show is valid. So this was another episode that was written for last year which means that in season 2 hope and Landon would have had some kind of fight/break up like 4-5 times only to get back together an episode later. This is ridiculous. So Josie kisses another girl a couple of times and then the girl leaves. I have the bad feeling if the next love interest is a guy it definitely be more like her and Landon rather than her and Jade.
