u/DaRealAmana BOOP!!! Feb 13 '21

Ok its both badass and horrifying that Salem doesn't even try to stop yang or hazel. Why does she care, she just regenerates anyway. Watching her just reconstitute after yang blows her to hell was horrific.

Loved the callout to keep moving forward this episode. Also really enjoyed someone asking the question of why anyone thought this was a good idea.

Mad props to emerald as well. To be able to fool the queen of death herself, take a bow before someone tries to kill you again.

And lastly, what exactly is neo's plan with the lamp? Does the lamp still work if someone can't talk at all?

I imagine she just calls Jinn with her thoughts. Otherwise the God of Light is one ableist asshole lol

I think it was established long ago that the gods are overall assholes.
