YAS, I love that new season feeling each opening has!

Go Bryce, taking charge and making plans! Especially since Terran's got back, you can see her resolve and fire coming back -- Ruby's death still affects her, but she's grown even stronger, and her capability to lead has grown with all her suffering.

SO MUCH ALERIC IN THIS EPISODE! All his interactions with the others showed that despite his apparent coldness, he is completely perceptive of others' feelings -- and once he stops blocking himself from responding to feelings with his own, I think he'll actually be incredibly sensitive. Not to mention he's a really good trainer and a born leader. I can see why he was a top assassin; with him on their side, and moreover, with him truly loyal to them out of choice, they stand a much better chance of understanding how to beat the Blood Army.

Bryce forgave Karina <3 I'm so glad; those two need each other. Girl power! The theme of sins and forgiveness is a lot stronger around Aleric, though, and that's a much darker battle that needs to be fought in his heart.

Great episode!
