The battle may be over, but what has Lucien become? What have the once-fledgling Nightwalkers become? And what will now become of Mags, Roisin, and their sunstrider brethren?

Just to stall, DeShawn covered Maeve while Mags was trapped inside. He knew how to play both to be the safety for one and the betrayer of the other.

To have to choose such a fate—sacrifice the one you love, or betray your oath.

Oh wow. Holy damn. From the Mags we know today, to the Magdalene of memory, something truly terrible must have happened to push her to that point, that moment, to bargain with the Venefica and with Ragnar.

Making Mags remember—even though she wanted to—could still cause unknown damage to her psyche. We know that she was spelled—cursed—to forget. What happens when that spell is broken? What happens when her mind in chopped open like a brick of marble waiting to be carved? Will she survive it?

Nightwalker fetuses? Holy hell.

That’s a hell of a spell and security system the Venefica put into place. Fuck.

I find it amusing how the woman at desk hissed the word “Americans”. Though, considering what the Cheeto-in-Chief has done to our once proud country, I can’t say I blame her. DeShawn and his comrades truly didn’t consider the need to look “worn in”. They’ll be spotted by Ragnar in an instant and I did get a good laugh out of the idea of DeShawn trying to arrest Mags. I do hope Roisin’s okay.

To give their dead the honored released of the funeral bier, the flames consuming them. I mourn with them. May their future battles be won. May they prevail triumphant.

They’ve lost so many. Everything Has been rendered broken and damaged. DeShawn is so keen on bringing in the military, and I understand why, but he truly doesn’t understand what he’s up against.

It’s a testament to Emeline’s strength that she’s as put together as she is right now. And she’s right. Mags is useless until she heals. She’s more of a liability than an advantage in her current condition.
