Alexei, the doctor, Irina and Luka all watch the hologram of Delta taking Anya, and discuss the needed supplies across town. Luka asserts that Anya and Ivan must still be alive, and volunteers to get the supplies. Ivan, in his cell, cracks jokes to the unmoved guard. When he leaves, he moves to talk to nearby Omega. *** 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗜𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗸 𝗠𝗶𝗱𝘄𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗻 𝗪𝗲𝗯𝘁𝗼𝗼𝗻𝘀: https://www.webtoons.com/en/sf/in-the-bleak-midwinter/list 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗔𝗹𝗹𝗲𝘆𝗞𝗮𝘁 𝗼𝗻

Lauren asks her some questions but is cut short by a very curt detective, and Bella makes her move. *** 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗣𝘂𝗿𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗛𝘆𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗵 𝗼𝗻 𝗪𝗲𝗯𝘁𝗼𝗼𝗻: https://www.webtoons.com/en/mystery/purple-hyacinth/list?title_no=1621&page=1 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗦𝗼𝗽𝗵𝗶𝘀𝗺 𝗼𝗻 𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗼𝗻: https://www.patreon.com/sophism 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆𝗧𝗶𝗻𝗸𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗻

171: Sam and Marshall talk about names, and Sam asks why Marshall goes by Marshall. Marshall talks about why he called himself Marshall, and how he doesn't like Ben. Sam points out the positive aspects of "Ben," and Marshall is so touched that he starts bawling. We stan. They go outside to talk and Sam reveals how she knew Marshall was Dion. Mongie trolls us a bit. We end with Marshall asking Sam to call him Benji, with the moon hovering over them. 172: Charles is in a nightmare. He walks into

Anya and Delta are seated in Delta's opulent penthouse. Delta eats but Anya abstains, and suffers from nightmares. We learn that Omega was created last and this is why he is most human. Anya wants to join Delta in his hunt for Omega and Ivan, but Delta refuses until she explains her sister's death and can hold down a meal. But testing begins tomorrow. *** 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗜𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗸 𝗠𝗶𝗱𝘄𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗻

We begin where we left off, with Rafael cocking the gun at Kieran's head. Rafael, unbelievably, actually pulls the trigger, and we speculate as to why he is so trigger happy. Thus ensues a spectacular fight, with both Kieran and Rafael in top form. Rafael seems rather emotionless (and emotionally damaged), until he slices open Kieran's shirt and spots that scar on his upper right arm. What could that be? Whatever it is, it causes Rafael to revert to non-lethal methods, busting open a water pipe

We open with a recap of Season 1. Delta is searching for Omega, and resists attack by a member of the mysterious third party, who bleeds red but contains Dramaxil. Meanwhile, Ivan is being tortured by Yelena the wraith, who wants him to take Omega apart to steal his immortality. Ivan refuses. We learn that Yelena seems to have been experimented on by her father. Ivan is escorted out and refused food and water, but remains flippant and steadfast under pressure. Anya is with Delta in his opulent

Sam already knew! They head inside for pineapple pizza, and we speculate as to their developing ship. 170: Vikki matchmakes between Angela and Link by inviting them over for dinner and doing a lot of coughing.

Redcliff and the probably unimportant Lady Montgomery sit with Will and Neyra. We wonder what Redcliff has up his sleeve. Bella, shocked at Neyra's presence, watches them from above. Kym is excited to watch the play, and Lauren resolves to ask her what she wanted to say later. We think she won't get the chance. The play begins and features some young men stealing items from an old cursed church. A ghost appears, and the handsome Albion notices that she is crying. Redcliff takes the opportunity to

Kym is overtaken by Neyra, whom we learn has heard a lot about Kym from Will. Now we're curious! Lauren hears Neyra's lies. What will she make of them? There is a very intimate pat down, and the couple is on their way. When they're alone in their box, Neyra throws out the mask and tells Will bluntly to drop the act. Will is surprised, and then bemused when Neyra tells him why they would never have worked out. Neyra shares how trapped she feels, and we hope her admission will inspire Will to think

Monica enters and she and Sam talk about Sam's relationship with Charles. Monica dispenses good advice and prompts Sam to think about how she feels about their coupling. 168: As final confirmation that Marshall is Dion, Abe and Vikki sit Marshal down for a TALK. He is hesitant to tell Sam that he is Dion, but Abe

Lauren and Kieran walk home from the circus. Lauren frets about their one lead, Redcliff, and contemplates on how Kieran has become a part of her life. We love how much she has developed emotionally over the story. She wonders why she felt so awful when she woke up, and sees the ghosts of her and Dylan's child selves running around. Dylan's ghosts confronts her with a very important question: why doesn't she ask Kieran about him? We discuss how Lauren has kept the ATST and Dylan from Kieran and how

Bella throws away the note Darcy left for her and quizzes Redcliff out. We analyze Redcliff's overconfidence and speculate how much benevolence there may be beneath his toxicity. We also spend a lot of time trying to understand Bella's personality and moral compass. We debate, but all agree that Bella is undergoing some kind of awakening. We learn that Bella received her golden viper dagger as a child and that Redcliff is sending Bella to the opera too. King and Queen talk about how to deal with

In which all we do is debate Dion's identity. Sam's group waits for Dion, who is late, but shows up huffing and puffing bearing Sam a special gift: a dragon egg trading card. She unlocks it, and Dion realizes who Ariadne and her group really are. After the raid, the group sits together. Dion enjoys his pink-jeweled scepter (hint?) and reveals he has had the card for a while as a promo (more hint?). He also accidentally lets slip that he knows Sam has created Ruminate. Abe infers that Dion must be

We open to a messenger berating a PS operative for his shoddy work. Meanwhile, someone is listening in from the roof. Unfortunately, the messenger is pretty sharp, notices the spy's presence and throws a dagger at them. The spy runs away with the PS operative in hot pursuit, and gets a bullet grazing their leg. The messenger disappears, and a bit later, Rafael pops up. Will stops him for walking past curfew, and when he recognizes him, dismisses his fellow officers. He asks Rafael to explain why he

Meet the Tinkers: Witcher actor Max Kraus

It was great to chat with #Witcher actor, Max Kraus! Max has an interesting backstory and it was great to connect over a shared background. We talked about Max's journey, starting from his interest in fitness and martial arts to his service in the IDF Special Forces. We discussed how he got into the acting scene in the US and internationally (hint: it's all about who you know!) and went through his work in various well-known action movies (like Rambo) and the people he got to meet along the way

Lauren wanders around the circus, coming across its members releasing lanterns in the sky in a moving memorial to their lost ones from Graychapel. Hypnotized Lauren finds herself feeling sad and not knowing why. Kieran, whose search is becoming more panicked, sees lights with the names of gods on them, and follows Hecate's advice. Fireworks go off, and Lauren's unconscious recalls the factory and APD explosions. The world around her becomes a world of horror, with a mysterious injunction for her

Surprisingly enough, Orpheus' hypnosis... works! Lauren has now reverted to her youthful state. Unfortunately, Orpheus is unable to restore her, and Kieran is forced to run around the circus looking for her as she enjoys its delights. Not before we get to enjoy seeing Kieran truly laugh and hear Lauren admit that she finds Kieran handsome!!! The mood turns serious when Hecate stops Kieran and sees into his heart through his hands. Her words validate Kieran's deepest struggle, and show us the

We receive confirmation that the ghost is really a ghost, and discuss what that means. Poppy is worried about Gil's wife, Louise, and asks Tora about her. Tora, in the most dramatic and (probably) misleading fashion, flops onto the table and says he killed her.

As Kieran and Lauren dress in circus costumes, they theorize as to the Messenger's identity. Lauren (and the fandom) sneaks a peak at Kieran's bruised back while wincing from her wounds. Kieran shows us incredible insight into Will, himself, and Lauren. We stan. We also stan how they look in circus costumes, especially after Kieran takes the opportunity to pull Lauren close and paint makeup on her face. Totally... necessary. We hear a little more about the agreement between Kieran and Bella, and
