We all know that Godolkin is going after that bee lady and the butterfly lady first 💀
I confess - making the protagonists college-age kids makes it a lot easier to believe they can make such frustrating decisions where they only trust their own judgment. Especially in the elevated emotional pressure cooker of Godolkin University.
Marie doing all the opposite that Starlight ask her for at the begginin' 😂
I love how the fight between Polarity and Cipher was like Professor X vs Magneto
Cipher/godolkin really got into Marie’s head. She put herself on a higher pedestal than everyone else and scolded Kate for being manipulative and hurting her friends when she did the same exact thing. They’ve done a good job of making Marie slightly unlikeable
Of course, the theories were true. But it also shows that controlling folks thru Cipher/Doug was kind of filtering his power and now that he's healed and free, he seems more powerful. He doesn't even have to concentrate like he did with Cipher/Doug. Possibly control multiple people at once. Best part to me though, is that Sage knew all of this was going to happen.
I'm gonna miss cipher 😢
29:41 Kate was at his his place before the head injury episode one. She threatened to enter his mind and he dared her too. He said she wouldn’t like what would happen if she tried
36:13 also the fact that cates powers manifested when she told her little brother to go away. Just for Marie to ask cate to make their friends go away probably played a big factor in cate saying no.
9:25 The pure mortification in Achara's face and voice 😂🤣💀
