Purple Hyacinth 152: Promised Proceeding (with Chaise)

2023/01/17

We begin with the APD making arrests, and move to a broken Bella about to step out. Her plans are thwarted, though, by the APD, who mange to capture and tranquilize her. Tristan meets with Sandman in his cell and thanks him for his information. Bella, during interrogation, doesn't (yet) give away Kieran's identity, but does reveal that she was about to kill him. We worry about him! Next, we move on to Redcliff's opulent mansion, where a cloaked figure awaits Redcliff in a carriage and politely

We are screaming puddles. On the bridge, Kieran admits to Lauren that Lauren gave him hope, but that he is scared that the Phantom Scythe will use Lauren to blackmail him. Lauren 𝗽𝘂𝘁𝘀 𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝗻 𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱𝗲𝗿 to comfort him, and he accepts it. But Kieran continues telling her he is terrified that he will lose her - and 𝗽𝘂𝘁𝘀 𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝗻 𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗲𝗸.

In which all our predictions come true! We see Kieran in the mirror, flashing us back to his last mirror trauma, and seem to prepare for his assassination... only to invade Lauren's room instead. In wonderful contrast to all his previous experiences, Kieran turns to Lauren for help. They pay a nocturnal visit to Darcy, who is delighted to participate in her own kidnapping. We learn more of her motivations and beliefs and that she knew Bella was a PS assassin! This chapter was all we could have

The scene opens on a magnificent home. A piercing scream is heard. The household rushes to the source of the scream only to see a maid, horror-stricken, pointing at Darcy's bedroom. It is blood smeared, and a heart lies on the bed near a purple hyacinth. At the APD, Lauren and Will overhear the details of the murder. They are both horrified, and Will rushes out of the room. Over at Redcliff's mansion, Bella is giving Redcliff a well deserved beating. Redcliff takes an awfully long time to defend

Things go full circle. Kieran and Lauren have a date at the very cafe where he first saw her. This time, Lauren is having a great time, and no lies are said. Their date is magnificent and we drool. And wonder if they are being watched. At the palace, the naive king is shocked, shocked I tell you, to learn that Redcliff is an apostle. The king suspects Stephan who confirms himself to be as a horrible a dad as we thought, and Dakan casts many side eyed glances. We doubt the queen as well. Dakan

Dakan and Tristan talk about the operation and the PS mole. We debate. Dakan asks Lauren to be careful and we think she will try - for about five minutes. Lauren sits in Hermann's office, anxious, when March comes in. They have a very red-filled conversation about the Phantom Scythe and Snapdragon, and we try to sus out March's angle. Lots of live detective work going on! March is about to open up when of course, Hermann interrupts - but with good news! Lauren is reinstated as a detective! At

Kym and Will have a sweet conversation and exchange sweet looks in the hospital, just before Blaire is poisoned and the APD conduct a two hour search for the killer. A proud Kieran comes to check up on Lauren, and speculates as to whether Hermann or March is the mole. We speculate as well. Meanwhile, Tristan is at the Devil's mine, and finds the weapons cache in a deep chasm. *** 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗣𝘂𝗿𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗛𝘆𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗵 𝗼𝗻

Lauren, March and will encounter the messenger tousling with Blair. Will runs after the messenger only to discover it is none other than his brother Rafael. DRAMA. At the hospital, detective Lauren interrogates Blair and builds her case to great success, garnering even Herman's approval. She not only gets him to admit his guilt but also discovers the location of the Phantom Scythe weapons cache. Lauren relates all this to Kym and Will, and we wonder about March's identity as well as the "he's

They discover that the mirror is a door leading to a photograph development room. *** 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗣𝘂𝗿𝗽𝗹𝗲

We flashback to 27 years ago, when Beta leads straight-laced Delta and Omega to an unknown location, where Omega relishes the tranquility. A rumbling noise disrupts their banter, and an angry Beta leads the way over the fence and into the grimy Wraiths Inc. facility. They are stopped in their tracks by the horrific sight of an android in a garbage dumpster. 𝗖𝗵𝗲𝗰𝗸 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗘𝗺𝗶𝗹𝘆'𝘀 𝗪𝗲𝗯𝘁𝗼𝗼𝗻 𝗱𝘂𝗯𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱

Kym, munching watermelon, chats with Lauren in the hospital, mulling over Will's gallantry. At the APD, Lauren contemplates the Morgan case, and wonders what Darcy is hiding. Kieran sneaks up on her and Lauren almost shoots him. Lauren wants to discuss Redcliff, but Kieran wants to call off their deal, saying that HE WUVS HER (basically). Lauren affirms that she isn't afraid of him (heart stopper!) and that they are still partners. Kieran is forced to concede and looks after her, completely

Lauren and March discuss Morgan's poisoning at the morgue, and it is everything we suspected. Lauren is reminded of the bodies at the ATST and at the factory, but doesn't lose her analytic edge. She also notices the bullet graze on Morgan's leg. At the hospital, Kym wakes up. The flowers at her bedside remind her of the flowers at her sister Daena's funeral, after a brief hospital stay. She lurches out of bed to throw them, whereupon Dr. F. Emerys discovers her. *** 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗣𝘂𝗿𝗽𝗹𝗲
