who needs time anyways. seems overrated to me ✋😤

RedDedZombie

Retribution? I love retribution!

Auto-Anne

HEINRICH!!!! NOOOO!!!!

HeavenlyBibi

OHHHHHHHHHHH Gwen now is not the time to implement your changes when you don’t know how to balance things. Loving the tensions that are rising with everyone here, seems like they need some team building exercises

Gwen Bouchard Defender

Best day of the week! Love how on edge everyone is for a multitude of reasons, everyone did such a great job of portraying their characters unease :3

RedDedZombie

Someone with more brain cells than me - remind me where Dr Sutcliffe has popped up before?

Pennywise

Please have the toy be a rocking chair, given how much Heinrich spent on his chair it would be more than fitting

Alec

Gwen, you are about to get yourself - or someone else - killed. Hope that felt good.

Alec

I'm cringing so hard 😭

Pennywise

I do appreciate Alice mixing up Alles gut? with Alice good?

BuriedInTheArchives

Gwen!!! Gwen!!! Come on! I want to shake her. Heinrich, curse you for your sudden but inevitable betrayal

Rad Lad Robin

Alice really didn't have anything else left to lose, huh.

Pia K R

Heinrich YES!!

James Rule

Today's lesson: be careful of who you make your enemy. But be even more careful of who you make your ally.

Judas

Would it be crazy If I said I ship it (just guess. There are several options present in this episode alone)

NeoGhoti

I really need to check the warnings on these. Never had an issue in magnus but a few episodes I've had to turn off and been shakey after. Great episodes just hit like a truck. Also Gwen is really doubling down on making the worst possible decisions holy light.

Violet

All my girlies need a hug 🥺

Junebug

Well i knew this was gonna happen but i’m not happy about it (another banger episode, loved it, 10/10)

Paolo

"To fuck around is human, to find out is divine." - Gwen Bouchard

Grace 'Gengar' Soria

FUCK. This was too close to home. I didn't expect to cry like this. Tho I have to accept Heinrich made me laugh again so now I'm just an emotional mess. I loved this episode.

Rainy The Day (Taylor)

I fell for Heinrich's grandpa charms and forgot he's an actual monster 🥲

Devon Reown

Oh, Gwendolyn, what have you done? Ah, there's the betrayal from Heinrich Unheimlich, I was wondering when that would happen

Anastasia Desert

Love how both Gwen and Alice try to fight against the system of evil - refusing to use monsters for the questionable balance, choosing death over giving a cursed object to a kid - and how they both are doomed to fail at this. Sad, but not unexpected. Also, I absolutely adore Heinrich and his "I'm polite but I'm not kind" moment! It was such an amazing "oh damn" moment. Still love him, even if he's definitely a monster!

Reynard Du Maurier

Hmmm…I’m mad enough to Celia that I wouldn’t mind if she gets chewed up by a rocking horse. But I want her still to be held accountable for her mess.

charles

oh another david, huh?

Erica

I know it didn't stick but absolute respect to Alice for choosing to die rather than let Heinrich hurt Celia and Jack

Erica

Being unqualified for a managerial position?

Marina O

totally understandable if yall don't want to state anything like this extra-canonically, but may I ask for some clarification on ink5oul's pronouns? in previous episodes they've only been referred to with they/them, and this episode mostly sticks to that but adds (I think) two uses of she/her, do they use they/she with a bias towards they?

Quinn Anderson

If I'm not mistaken, Ink5oul has only been referred to using they/them pronouns. I believe Ink5oul's VA Vera Chok uses she/they. Since I find it unlikely that the pronouns will be addressed in a canon way, personally I'd stick with they/them, but TMA/TMP has always felt like a "The characters are the VAs" to me so using she/they isn't out of the realm of possibility.

Avari

Heinrich I LOVE you, how absolutely splendid e u e SO much going on in this episode, obsessed with all the possibilities here

Quinn Anderson

Not gonna lie, Heinrich Unheilmich's betrayal actually made feel sick to my stomach and I had to sit down

Anthony&

i’ve been jumping up and down about this episode all day, here are my jumbled thoughts: 1) THE CASE! WAS SO GOOD!! alex’s acting👌👌 the lack of remorse👌👌👌 just all of the little details. fwiw, having grown up in a household like that, i will say this one resonated with me. i feel & really appreciate the care that was taken with it. and to top it off, i really enjoyed the extra bit of insight into how ink5oul’s work can function. 2) FINALLY HEINRICH. omg. not that i didn’t enjoy him before but i have just been on tenterhooks waiting for him to show his teeth with alice for real. that was delicious, skin-crawling dread. 12/10, maybe even 13 because it’s left us with an extra dose of dread for whatever the hell the fallout of this is going to be with celia (and jack). 3) big alice character moment!!!! interesting how she kind of brushed off dane’s death but couldn’t bear the thought of being the reason celia or jack were endangered… that attitude is gonna get you in trouble someday girlie. celia wouldn’t have done it for you 😉 4) celia losing her shit at gwen is also something i’ve been waiting for and it felt soooo good. hoping for many more nasty confrontations. the absolutely toxic vibes in the office right now are so classic magnus… feels like home😌 i’m looking forward to celia becoming more and more paranoid, now that she knows it’s not over. erratic behavior in and out of the workplace ftw 5) welcome back ink5oul!!! delightful performance once again, it’s so interesting to hear what they sound like when they’re in a better mood. 6) i am amazed and delighted about gwen doubling down AGAIN, especially when addressing an external that’s nearly killed her once already. and thus knows what she looks like. and probably roughly where she is? this can only end well🙃 7) i can’t stop thinking about how celia’s time is running out, re: her flimsy alliance with alice. i reckon she won’t be able to conceal that she hasn’t even TRIED (re: sam) once alice is in the same room as her again. i dunno if alice will be able to smell the rat or not, but i just know it’s going to be nasty when the truth comes out. however it comes out. (now i’m wondering if heinrich’s little present is going to play a role in that… but i also wonder if she will even be vulnerable to him, given she doesn’t belong here. or maybe she’s extra vulnerable? guess we’ll find out.)

Trisidael

I did a search through the past transcripts and didn’t find any other mention of the name Sutcliff, so I’m guessing he’s just a new character for this statement.

Trisidael

Gwendolyn (middle name) Bouchard! Stop girlbossing too close to the sun, you stubborn idiot! 🤦🏻 I still love you and I want you to live, but at this point, you’re practically painting the BIGGEST possible target on your back and outright goading people to hit you! And all while you’re continuing to distance yourself from Celia and anyone else who might actually help you if you genuinely asked! Why must you do the things that you do?! 😫

Sean McMahon

I know I'm going against the current here, but Gwen isn't a girlboss. She's an idiot. And a very well written one at that.

Matthew Mullins

Is Gwen the new Jonathan Sims? Ignoring the obvious signs of danger and steaming ahead?

RedDedZombie

Well, I could be totally wrong here, but I do believe Gwen just heard ‘the government is acting in a capacity that perpetuates and increases fear’, and is actively trying to stop this happening. She’s probably going to get murdered, but I love her for this. She definitely needs to work on her managerial attitude though 🤣

Trisidael

Honestly, if it turns out she’s now deliberately sabotaging the OIAR, because she can’t bare to continue deliberately hurting people and increasing fear, I could actually respect that to some degree (as long as it doesn’t lead to another apocalypse lol).

Trisidael

Certainly seems like it. This is giving big “Jon breaking the web table, trying to hurt the not!them” energy, except Gwen’s not blinded with righteous anger, as far as we know. 😬

Dylan Roberts

Am I the only one who's not nearly as invested in TMP as I was at this episode number of TMA? Heinrich is cool and Mr. Bonzo is cool but I am not hooked yet.

Dylan Roberts

This fan base are some DIVA's. 😂 every episode cannot bring you to your knees in tears or be a 13/10. Still ❤️ y'all

Kons Mil

same, in some weird way cases don't feel as personal as statement were

Erica

My bet's on Mr. Bonzo eating her in the season finale

Cap'n Timothy Shimbers

And you may find yourself back in your bed And you may find yourself back in your bed And you may find yourself back in your bed And you may find yourself in your own house, with your terrible husband And you may ask yourself, "Well, how did I get here?"

Cap'n Timothy Shimbers

Oh for sure, those parallels have been there since the beginning, I think. Arrogant, aloof, desperate to be taken seriously, insists on acting like they're in control despite all evidence to the contrary, AND can't leave well enough alone? They're practically twins.

Queen of the Moon

I think part of it is the way the characters don't even really acknowledge the cases in most episodes. Like, in TMA Jon would actively add outside context and make connections about characters and events in statements, while here Celia is literally sleeping through plot-relevant cases.

Ela_Kal

I 100% agree with you.

Ela_Kal

I'm absolutely inlove with Alex's case readings oh my God.

Ela_Kal

100% agree. I love the cases themselves and I feel theres so much potential there but they are considerably shorter than TMA statements, which is necessary for the plot I get it, but are also glossed over. I'm just trying to accept this is a different format. I do think the fact that they are not listening to the statements is actually important.

Alec

Now I'm just picturing Alice and Heinrich in a WWE style ring and he's got a steel chair

Alec

I was waiting for the turn of Heinrich. Like y'all...even Jon, our protagonist, was quite bad even when we saw everything from most everything from his perspective. Just because the previous people Heinrich met seemingly were bad people or those who made bad choices does NOT a fear monster unmake. Alice was always a means to an end, getting a toy into the hands of a child.

Alec

He's really in his element this season *ba dum tss*

Alec

I'm into it, but it feels like the meta plot of the stories themselves are not as important as the side bits. Don't get me wrong, the actual performances outside of the main stories are great and super compelling, but they feel like they are the only things that move the story forward. I miss Sam being involved in his original universe because he was the only one who *cared* about the statements.

Alec

One could only wish, but she's not communicating or involving anyone else in her decision making or understanding. It's really strange how gung ho she is about flying solo.

Alec

Once an avatar, always an avatar.

Alec

I just wish that we were able to connect with Gwen more. She's really edging everybody out and I find myself siding with Alice and Celia about the situation at hand even if Celia is trying to fight evil. I wonder how they're going to land her arc.

Alec

She THINKS she's girlbossing. But she isn't. She's an Icarus that has no comprehension of the sun that's melting her wings.

Alec

The fact I heard this in her VA's voice 👌

Alec

Oooooh love this

Ela_Kal

Oh I see what you did there 😂

Ela_Kal

Exactly, while in the meantime I also feel there's a lot of relevant information in the cases thats completely going over my head because I don't have Jon holding my hand explaining connections. It actually feels like the connections are more complex, in my opinion.

Ela_Kal

"I am polite yes, but I am not kind" really got me.

Ela_Kal

I will defend Jon here because Elias actually suggested to him way back in S1 after Breekon and Hope delivered the table that they destroy it, inception is dat you? I was actually shocked coz I am relistening and I missed that the first time. So as stupid as it was, he didn't get the idea from nowhere.

Ela_Kal

An Icarus with no comprehension of the sun 😂

Ela_Kal

This has to be the best thing I've ever heard 🤣

RedDedZombie

Eleanor: “Hey, Psycho killer, qu'est-ce que c'est?”

Heather MacKenzie

Not to dimish the ultimate creepy factor of Heinrich ( the "I am patient but I am not kind" line is banger!) But are we sure that Jack isn't en external himself? There was baby Rupert in Ep24 that reminds me a little of Jack.

Reynard Du Maurier

I was thinking about that. Since he’s not teleporting towards the rift, I suspect he’s belonging the protocolverse.

Ransack0894

I was beaming with delight when Gwen told Ink5oul to tell all of the externals that the deal was off. I love herrrr she has SUCH terrible judgment <3 Remember when Jurgen Leitner described the destruction of his library? I hope we get that level of chaos at the OIAR

MarlaBothBothIsGood

Gwen is screwing up SO FUCKING HARD, I LOVE her Alice...hon...your new bestie would never hurt you, but other people....weeeeelll

Apofisu

I felt the same way, but after the previous episode, I went back and binged from the start of TMA all the way through. I'm much more invested now. There's so many things in TMP that you don't pick up on the first time because later episodes provide additional context for earlier ones.

Rurrie

awww, Alice choosing to die instead of hurting someone ;_; I love her
