On the Road Again Season 4 Episode 2

They say expert things come to those who wait.

Well, Earpers, I approximate we must have been pretty skilful because Wynonna Earp finally returned after ii years.

While we wish it hadn't taken that long, Wynonna Earp Flavor 4 Episode ane went a long way toward making upward to viewers during those torturous months when they were deprived of their favorite snarky, by and large badass (one-time) heir and her demon-fighting friends.

Starting with Wynonna, on the surface, she seems like her same old cocky -- confident, brave, always quick with a joke, willing to do whatever it takes to save her friends and family unit.

And even though she's still very much Wynonna Earp, she's besides struggling with who she is at her very core at present that she'southward non the heir anymore.

Being the Earp heir has been her principal identity throughout the entire series.

She may accept loathed information technology at times, simply information technology was nevertheless a huge office of her life.

Now, though, Bulshar is dead and the expletive has been broken.

Her chief purpose for existing, so to speak, is gone, and she finds herself floundering.

Merdeces: And then these manly black trucks surrounded my house and Kate, she was similar, 'No, you're too beautiful dice,' [Hissing sound] and I was like, 'No manner. We are in this together.'
Wynonna: And then y'all guys totally boinked?
Mercedes: Because I recollect she must have vampire listen-mushed me because the side by side affair I know, I'm running abroad from the business firm, totally confronting my will.
Wynonna: Are you certain your brain wasn't pre-mushed?
Mercedes: So I decided to come hither and await for the friggin' heir to show up.
Wynonna: Well, I'thou the heir of anything any more, Mercedes. The curse is broken. I killed your demon hubby Bulshar.
Mercedes: That's great. What did he leave me?
Wynonna: A disaster zone.

It goes beyond non simply having Peacemaker by her side, equally that gun represented more than just her ability to impale revenants and send them back to hell.

Peacemaker was the item that enabled her to be in the heir, so without it, it'southward just another reminder of who she no longer is.

Stripped of all of that, she has to re-evaluate who she is and how she plays into this greater fight of adept versus evil.

And while Wynonna has never liked to rely on others, now that she'south not the heir, she's going to realize she needs her people at present more than than ever.

It'd be foolish to think that Wynonna would realize this instantaneously, only she's starting to run into that information technology'south non the worst affair in the world to have others help her.

Part of this is made more than apparent because she is all lone for the first time since returning to Purgatory, salvage for Nedley, at the first of the episode.

Dolls is expressionless. Waverly and Physician are trapped in the Garden. Nicole and Jeremy have vanished.

Nigh everyone she's come to rely on for strength and support is gone, leaving her to her own devices to effigy things out, something she's not sure she tin do.

It's easy to accept for granted only how much the people around y'all accept your dorsum and are always at that place for you lot.

Wynonna: I'll forget well-nigh this, and y'all tin just forget about the time I slipped you some Sleeping Beauties.
Nicole: Wynonna.
Wynonna: Mind, information technology's ancient history.
Nicole: It was yesterday.
Wynonna: Oh right.
Nicole: What if I could have helped? Well, we'll never know because yous left me passed out on the floor.
Wynonna: You couldn't have done anything.
Nicole: I just jumped off a friggin' train.
Wynonna: They only got in 'cause they're special, so unless you lot're similar a bisexual angel or an undead gunslinger…
Nicole: Oh no, you don't become to be the judge of who matters and who doesn't.
Wynonna: True. I'm simply a girl standing in forepart of a cop asking her to forgive me for slipping her a tiny footling chip of roof-beer.
Nicole: Unbelievable.

Only without them there, Wynonna is acutely aware of just how much comfort she took having that safe internet effectually, fifty-fifty if she did make up one's mind to roofie them on occasion.

That experience, though brief, has hopefully made her re-evaluate some things, along with aid Nedley and Nicole provided.

The former sheriff doesn't get enough credit, but he really is like a father to Wynonna.

It was Nedley who was by her side when she went to find the stairs, who reminded Wynonna she had what it took to continue on her mission to bring their family home, who was even willing to go with her even though he was injured.

In addition, it was Nedley who held onto Dolls' files, giving Wynonna a identify to showtime looking for another entrance to the Garden.

It's safe to say that without Nedley, the entire mission would have been over before information technology began.

Similar Nedley, Nicole doesn't become enough credit, at least not from Wynonna.

Nicole has continually proven that she'due south a valuable asset and can handle any supernatural shenanigans come their fashion.

Wynonna: Nosotros can use these beaver blasters.
Nedley: You know, now is non the fourth dimension for marital aids.
Wynonna: It'southward e'er time. These are for busting beaver dams or annihilation else that gets in our manner.
Nedley: Y'all got a sex toy that tin can find a mysterious place no one else can?
Wynonna: It's chosen a G-spot, Nedley.

And again, without her, Wynonna'due south quest to find the entrance to the Garden could have had a very different outcome in more than one instance.

From going with Wynonna to Monument and saving her from gunfire to pushing her off the grate, Nicole has more earned the championship of MVP this episode.

It'southward all the more impressive that Nicole did those things after Wynonna drugged her and continued to lie to her.

For Nicole, it may have been worth it because she concluded the episode in the Garden with Doc and Waverly.

Merely even though WayHaught will soon exist reunited -- which is reason enough to celebrate -- the gang's nevertheless no closer with finding a way out, as access to the Garden seems to be a ane-way trip.

Not that Wynonna will give up any time before long, just the gang could exist separated for the foreseeable future.

What is clear, though, is that the Garden is annihilation but paradise.

As Doc said, the Garden doesn't exactly await like the paradise described in the Bible.

It's this cold and barren wasteland that is home to a very temperamental machine of sorts, which gets particularly "hangry" if it's not regularly fed.

Doc: Yous're all right now.
Waverly: Physician, y'all came.
Doc: Of course.
Waverly: Thank you for sucking…
Doc: I do endeavor, Waverly.
Waverly: Bulshar'southward poison out of Wynonna's throat.

That setup alone is evidently plenty to drive someone to cocky-decapitation, and that'south not even mentioning the effect existence in the Garden has on i'southward memory.

I'd wonder if the gang had somehow ended up in hell had Bulshar non gone to such extremes to become back there.

Speaking of Bulshar, now that he'southward expressionless, does Waverly really demand to stay backside when Wynonna inevitably finds a way to gratis her family.

Sure, Kevin said she had to assume Julian's throne to seal the Garden, simply at present that the snake who tempted Eve is dead, is in that location yet the demand to seal the Garden?

Information technology's not exactly like it's like shooting fish in a barrel to observe an entrance to the Garden, and even if one tin be constitute, just sure people may exist able to enter it.

There'due south e'er the possibility that some other evil entity or demon could effort to ophidian its way into the supposed paradise, just after seeing what the Garden actually looks like, they may not be very interested in an extended stay.

Information technology's possible the reason the Garden is desolate is that there hasn't been an angel presiding over the supposed paradise for years.

Now, though, that Waverly, a one-half-affections, is there, the Garden could be restored to its onetime glory.

Waverly: Are y'all out of your mind?
Dr.: What other options do nosotros take? This gentleman only self-decapitated.
Waverly: I'm going to barf.
Doc: Non until we try. You used your angel gumption to revive Julian.
Waverly: Doc, he has no head.
Doc: Well, the head is correct there.

This possibility is supported by the flowers and cherry blossom tree, forth with calming music, that appeared when Waverly "fed" the machine her claret.

Maybe that alone volition be enough.

All the same, it'southward also possible that Waverly's blood donation will simply take a temporary event on the Garden, meaning that if she leaves or doesn't feed the auto, paradise volition become dorsum to looking like a place in Siberia where prisoners of war are sent.

If this is the case, and so one has to wonder how the Garden can be permanently restored from its Paradise Lost status if Waverly sits on her father's throne and becomes stone.

It stands to reason that rock statues can't brand regular blood donations to gratify the hangry automobile, and then that could be a problem in and of itself.

And while in that location's no way Waverly will actually become a stone statue -- at to the lowest degree for good -- perhaps her presence is all that's required to rejuvenate the Garden from now on.

Of form, the younger Earp may not take that much of a choice when it comes to bold her father's throne, as something primal seemed to be urging her to take her seat.

Any that force -- whether innate or not is -- it'll be a lot easier to fight with Doc and Nicole past her side.

Sheriff Haught, at least yous are wearing a smiling.

Medico

Seeing her futurity fiancee should requite Waverly more than enough willpower to resist the temptation of the throne.

Afterwards all, stone statues can't exactly ally humans.

Lastly, in a not and so surprising "twist," it looks like the series is putting its ain spin on the character of Valdez.

In the comics, Valdez is a BBD agent who is too a 1,000-year-quondam Mayan warrior princess.

In the serial, well, Valdez, also a BBD agent, is as Mercedes puts information technology Val-expressionless.

Who isn't so dead is her daughter Rachel, who Wynonna and Nicole encounter at the BBD facility in Monument.

And fifty-fifty though Wynonna and Nicole merely met Rachel, it'south unlikely they would just leave her at that place, especially since they know her mother is dead.

They may be relative strangers, but Wynonna knows what it's like to be abandoned by her parents and how hard it can be to be lone.

Wynonna: So, Miss 'No More Secrets,' what aren't y'all telling me?
Nicole: Waverly proposed to me, and I believe the Romans call information technology 'Wynonna interruptus.'
Wynonna: It'south more effective than the pill and a lot cheaper.
Nicole: That'southward not how lesbianing works, Wynonna.

When this is all sorted out, it wouldn't be surprising if Rachel came dorsum to Purgatory and stayed with the Earps on the Homestead.

This ragtag group family isn't traditional in the least, and Rachel is sure to fit right in.

Some stray thoughts:

• Now that Nicole is in the Garden, tin she please take Waverly's proposal? We all know that she's going to say 'yes,' but I need to run across that WayHaught scene as shortly equally possible. Scratch that, I'd take any new WayHaught scene at this point. They are #RelationshipGoals.

• Who are these mysterious government agents/black ops division that evacuated the residuum of Purgatory? They must have some serious backing and outset-form weaponry if they plan on blasting Purgatory off the map. When the gang gets back from the Garden, that'southward going to exist a serious problem they'll need to accost.

• If Kate has seemingly moved on from Physician, does this mean Wynonna and Doc tin have a chance at a existent, semi-functional human relationship this flavour?

• I'd forgotten how epic Wynonna's one-liners are. She may not be the Earp heir anymore, but she sure as heck is still the heir of sass and snark.

• Wynonna and Nicole are all-time friend official. I'1000 not crying; yous're crying.

• Apparently Mercedes is sticking around, and I'm totally on lath for that. Adjacent to Wynonna, she has some of the best lines.

• Nedley's comment almost feeling like he'due south been standing there for two years was perfect. Very meta.

So what did y'all think Earpers?

Who is Wynonna now that she'due south non the heir?

How will the gang get out of the Garden?

Does Waverly still need to stay?
