I got legit goosebumps.
Did anyone else get goosebumps?
But well get to that.
Neville has loaned his gun to Yancy, who tries to give it to Rosa.
But Eve already knows that Rosa is a plant because of the picture at the fritter joint.
As Eve commands Egg to grab Rosa, Yancy, and Neville run into Gracie at the fritter place.
They see Gracie sitting at a table.
The banter between the three characters is golden.
Bob sounds sad, got a big laugh from me.
She tells them that they know about Rosa.
Yancy freaks out, calling Rosa multiple times.
So Yancy runs over to Eve and Nicks house with no plan and no weapon.
I love Yancy, but cmon, dude.
Use your brain a tiny bit every once in a while, just.
Nick immediately catches him snooping and pulls a shotgun.
Hes about to waste him when Eve comes in, screaming.
She doesnt want him to kill Yancy in their bedroom, which is a fair point.
They nudge Yancy outside, and he snatches Tilly on the way out, using her as a shield.
She still loves him, though, because she asked Yancy to confirm he didnt get hurt.
Oh, this sad, sad man.
Neville and Yancy escape.
Eve tries to shoot at them, but shes a terrible shot.
And now she has to take care of Nick.
Somehow, she gets him on top of the island in their kitchen and yanks out the pole.
A river of blood starts pouring from Nicks back.
Is this dog a vampire?
Given her well-documented lust for fresh blood, it seems possible.
Yancy and Neville plan to help Rosa, but shes already escaped.
Claspers one ask is that they take another pic together.
Earlier, Gracie had stayed at the fritter place (the hub of Andros!
), moving to the bar.
There, she finds a familiar face.
A woman is binge drinking and gently admonishes Gracie for rejecting her magic.
Heard you say your magic isnt real.
It is, she says before asking Gracie to walk her home.
Gracie slowly comes to the realization that this woman is her mother and that her experience has been real.
Her magic is real.
Her mothers love is real.
And she is empowered to reemerge into her best self.
Ya-Ya can sense the change in the air, too.
During this scene, Ya-Ya spots Dawnies daughter, Lulu, hanging out on her porch.
She tells Ya-Ya that one of the trees in the graveyard is mad, and Ya-Ya agrees.
Shes taken by this young girl, and gives her an eloquent run-down on what magic really is.
And its all real.
Someday, I can teach you.
Ya-Ya offers to teach Lulu one day, and Lulu seems into it.
Later, Ya-Ya returns home and finds that Gracie has cleaned up the altar that she had smashed.
The narrator intones, She knew her queen was back.
As Ya-Ya looks around her house, Eve barges in and demands to know where Gracie is.
As the wind and rain pick up, Yancy and Rosa approach Claspers plane.
She says that if Yancy doesnt get on the plane, theyre done.
Yancy doesnt get on the plane.
Honestly, Im not sure what Rosa was thinking would happen here.
When someone tells you who they are repeatedly, blatantly, in plain English believe them, girl.
Yancy heads back into the storm to confront the Striplings while Eve continues to seek help.
Soaked and miserable, she finally stumbles upon Gracie in resplendent Dragon Queen regalia.
Eve starts in with the backhanded compliments, saying Hey, youre wearing your costume again, thats cool.
But Gracie has been spiritually transformed.
She grins, seeming to draw power from the growing storm.
When Eve asks for help for Nick, Gracie shouts, There is nothing for him now!
There is nothing for any of us!
Eve is flustered and pissed, stalking right up to Gracie to demand what she believes is hers.
Gracie says shes ready to accept her fate for taking part in the Striplings scheme, but Eve isnt.
She charges at Gracie, only to have her cut a bitch in the chin.
Gracie screams, I AM THE DRAGON QUEEN!
TIME TO END THIS!
Man oh man, what a cliffhanger.
Monkeying Around
I miss Evan Shook!
After taking up a large chunk of the main narrative, Bonnie is now a footnote.
She escapes prison with the help of a guard named Thomas and rides off into the sunset.
But Im hoping well hear from her again in the finale.
Dawnie and Neville sitting in a tree!
Eve wants to put her dogs brain in Nicks body, which is horror-movie-level disturbing.
