Plot Summary in a sentence:Maya - Death to loose ends: Joprey, random witches, Lee, Eve is her dang name, but let’s add in a complete unknown and not explain it at all, we can even name the episode after it, lol.

will finds his dad, people die, lyra kidnapped by her mom and we learn her name.

What’s your word?Dead - MayaByyyyeeeee

Story Talking Points:Aesahattr - no explanation besides it’s important. Super annoying. Tired of being toyed with as an audience. This seems to be the new Mcguffin. Great. Blue petals maybe leading Mary to Aesahattr?

I WANT TO SAY THINGS AND I CAN’T. 

Mrs. Coulter having a meltdown talking at her monkey. “What are you frightened of?” Kicks her own demon!?And later Joprey tells will “don’t argue with your true nature.”

Learning that Lyra was Eve, Mother of All was done well, but should have been done 3 episodes ago. 

Will and Lyra trying to decide if they should go off on their own or not. Will worried it isn’t safe for the adults, the adults worried it isn’t safe for the kids. Everyone thinking to hard and then they all end up screwing it up anyway. And now everyone is alone (facepalm).

Joprey and Lee’s whole journey was a complete waste in my opinion. The whole point was to get Lyra the protection of the knife, and literally they are the reason they got separated. Why didn’t Joprey use his magic on the magisterium and why didn’t lee call Sarafina earlier? Literally whole point seemed to be to get Will the cool Jacket (which he looks much better in than his dad.)

Will and Jopari really bonding in the show vs in the book they find out moments before Jopari is killed that they are related. I don’t mind how it was changed but it shows a different side to will… in the book he wants to kill the witch that kills his father but she kills herself first and he doesn’t learn what her deal was for killing him. This they do get to bond and he builds up a rapport with him before he sacrifices himself to save will and for him to go on his journey. It was a nice change i think. Still seemed to fall flat...

Yeah, the whole jopari leaving didn’t make much sense in the show it was like cool bye dont care bout you. Im gonna do my own thing and i don’t care about your promise.

Where we leave everyone:Lee- deadJopery - deadRandom witches - deadSarafina - flying aloneRuta skati - going to look for the unknown aesahattrMary - finding some unknown blue petal thingWill - “the night is full of angels and the will guide you”Mrs. Coulter - on some random boat going “somewhere they will be safe.”Lyra - unconscious in a chest Roger - in some shadow realm asking for Lyra’s helpAsriel - talking to Angels to start a war

Favorite character this episode?Ruta Skati? Or Will? But I have small issues with both.HESTER (rip)

Technical Talking Points (music, lighting, editing):I was very intrigued by the words being sung to the theme music. I liked it, and I like how it made me keep listening long enough to see Roger at the end.

The faraway shots of the mountain range are cool.Jopari’s Demon killing the other deamon was intense… the monkey with the specters was also stressful and poor monkey!!!
