I really loved this episode.
Vi kicks all sorts of butt. I really enjoyed the scene where she gave Sevika a piece of her mind. It was a really entertaining, gripping fight that felt surprisingly grounded for a fight that's in an animated series. Vi may not have won the fight, but it doesn't feel like she's a weaker character because of it. That's good characterization and writing. I cannot wait for more of her.
Caitlyn is also growing on me. My favorite in the series so far? Maybe not (not currently anyway), but I have a feeling there's something bigger in store for her. It's hard NOT to side with her in this whole conspiracy. Watching her and Vi buddying up was heaps of fun.
I'm leaning more toward rooting for Viktor as well. I still don't totally know what he's really up to though? Likely clearly he wants a cure for whatever sickness he has, but is there more? Either way, I've enjoyed him quite a bit.
Jayce is getting manipulated and toyed with and I can't figure out if he knows it and is intentionally being arrogant or if he's really so clueless. It makes for an interesting build-up to the lore and politics of Hextech though. I don't hate the guy either, it's just frustrating. In a good way.
And the scenes between Silco and Jinx were great too. It'll be interesting to see what becomes of this relationship. Silco does seem to genuinely care for her, but he's also way less reckless than her, and maybe a bit more calculating/collected. She almost seems to have conversation or remorse on killing literally anyone... a scary character and one I still kind of feel bad for. I really don't know what to expect with her going forward.
I will admit that I didn't love the Imagine Dragons cameo😂I don't even hate the band (they just aren't my kind of music), but it broke a bit of the impression for me. A great scene otherwise though.
Still a great episode that left me practically craving more. This is a really well written, directed and acted series so far.
