Well, alrighty then!  I figured bodies would be dropping at some point due to this being the last season (I believe), but I was still surprised that both Sophie and Jonah got taken out with a quickness here!  Figured there would have been an episode or two to focus on their mind games once he found out what she was up to, but instead, she's arrested and executed (although she did get to tell him off before her head left the rest of her body), and then he gets brutally murdered by that mysterious creature.  Gnarly!  I do wonder if the creature was actually targeting him or was it protecting Vignette since the attack didn't happen until right before her own execution attempt.  Curious to see how this will effect the political landscape since both the Chancellor and the leader of the opposition are gone just like that.

Happy that Millworthy made it out though!  I hope he's one of those guys who just keeps hanging in there no matter what the circumstances are.

Yeah, while it might have been helpful this time, I'm with Darius that the more Tourmaline uses the dark magic, the worst it will get for her...

Philo and Kaine form an uneasy alliance to try and spring Vignette, only to now likely be roommates in a cell since they both just got captured after the massacre.  Oh, you two!

I was really choked to see Sophie go, I really thought she might be rescued with the others and continue her plan to help the fae. Jonah buying it the way he did made his murder of Sophie so much easier to accept, lol.

I have a bad feeling that Tourmaline is somehow going to turn out to be the beast. It seems a little obvious to me but hopefully there's a twist I don't see coming. I also see the potential pairing of her with Darius. I'm okay if I'm right on that one.😁
