We are just MIND BLOWN by this episode!!! 🤯🤯🤯

It gave us all the feels! 😭 Vi and Jinx's encounter was INCREDIBLE! 😱 And better than expected... for now... 🤔 We are just so happy that they got hug each other after all that time! It was super emotional to watch, and them fighting back to back against the Fireflies was just too much! 🤩

Jinx leaving that "little gift" to Silco and calling him a liar was just perfect 😌

Also we are happy that we got to see a little of Viktor's backstory and also the huge discovery he made about the Hechtec and organic matter 😨 But that led to something awful... We felt so bad for the Professor because he didn't deserve to be expelled like that and we understand why he's opposing to all of this 😔

Thank you for watching, we hope you have a great day and enjoy the reaction! Love you! 🤗

This episode is probably my favourite, together with episode 3 and another one you haven't seen yet. 😉😅 It was so gut-wrenching, this ending to act 2. The meeting of the sisters was so heartbraking and once again so amazingly done.💔😨 Keep your thoughts about the firelights in mind, you're onto something there. 😊 The scientist that Silco and Jinx refer to as "The doctor" is named Singed (you can read his name in the subtitles), he developed shimmer with and for Silco. The mutated Rio must live, because his mutated genes are the source for shimmer. Yes, he survived the explosion, but got severly burned. It is interesting that he now works together with the kid that caused his injuries...🤔 By the way, please feel free to ignore my comments, if they get too long or annoy you. I just like to talk about this wonderful show so much and I'm happy to have found people who are as enamored with this show as I am. 😊 Thoughts and observations on this one from my first viewing, so I don't spoil you accidentally: - This is a bit of speculation from my side, but I think, in the beginning we saw, that Viktor was the only one who actually did something good for the people of the undercity. In the flashback we see the water the kids are bathing in is soiled, oily and full of junk. When the grown-up Viktor talks to Heimerdinger, we see the same place, only now the junk is gone, the water is clear and there is a huge sewage plant or some kind of pump station, where they're sitting in. Heimerdinger says: "You should be proud of what you've accomplished, Viktor." and we see the the building as a whole. Also you can see that the machine parts, the cogs and levers are the same type he used in his toy boat, only in xxxl. ;) That tells me, that he built it as part of his pledge to make things better for the undercity. - The little girl in the flashback, who is looking at Young Viktor is Sky, his and Jayce's lab-assistant. She has apparently a huge crush on him since their childhood days in the undercity, but never had the courage to tell him. But she managed to follow his path from the undercity slums to the Academy of Piltover. 🤯 Who knows how much it had cost her to ask him to walk home together with her in the last epsiode, only to be turned down by him. He only seems to live for his work. And now that his time is drastically shortened, even more so. Is their any non-tragic love story in this show??🙈😭 - Speaking of love stories. Until this morning Jayce was Mel's useful toy, her second vote in the council (the old councillor being the third) and her way to more power, wealth and - I assume 😉 - great sex. Now he shows his vulnerability to her and to her surprise, she is touched by it. She seems to develop feelings for him as well and opens up to him a bit. Jayce was always attracted to her, right from their first real meeting that night at the academy. - I love that Jinx persistently calls Thieram the barkeeper Chuck. He is extremely nervous around her. Honestly I would be, too. 🤣 - Thieram the barkeeper was one of Silco's men at the ship during the attack of the firelights, he was knocked out in the beginning by the leader of the firelights. - Jinx get's her drink in the same cup she used as a child, from the same kind of bottle we saw Vander pouring her a drink. She get's it with a straw, just like from Vander. She even sits in the same spot. Oh these little moments where Powder shines through. The more I learn about Jinx, the more it breaks my heart. 😭💔🙈 - It would be wise to always look out for tripwire when you're in Jinx' territory. 😂 - Sevika is cold. How she pulled out all the stops to make Jinx loose her shit, oh man. She put the thought of Vi replacing her with Caitlyn in Jinx' head. Sevika wants war and a riled up Jinx is a good way to escalate things. - The sign at the water tower is the same as at the Last Drop, Silcos eye. Only this time in purple. - Vi lead them to the ruins of her early childhood home, the last place with happy memories for the sisters. I wonder what it looked like before this place became the last refuge for the outcasts, the addicted and the homeless. I'm not sure though why she let herself get carried there by Caitlyn, maybe because she was heavily wounded and she wanted to die at home? 🤔😨 - Did you hear Vanders words echo in Vi's mind, when Caitlyn tells her that she has a good heart? I miss him... - When Vi regaines conciousness, she sees her mother and little Powder looking at her, and her mother calling her name, but with Caitlyns voice. - Oh, and Caitlyn. My romantic heart jumped and cheered at their lingering look after Caitlyn calmed Vi down. And did you see how nervous Caitlyn got afterwards and quickly changed the subject? She noticed it too. 💖👌✨ - Caitlyn traded her gun! Her custom-made gun she had since she was old enough to hold a gun (as you could see in the painting in the second episode). It was pretty much an extension of herself and she traded it for medicine for Vi without any hesitation...😍 - About Marcus: Could there be a more vicious thread to him than that of his daughter in her child's room? He showed him he can get them everywhere and anytime, despite him commanding all the enforcers of Piltover. Silco was so furious because he was lied to and the returning Vi threatens to take Jinx away from him. 😱 - Poor little Ren will suffer the most when Marcus' actions fall back on him. 😨 - Heimerdingers pet seems very perceptive of his moods. It is angry when he is angry, it relaxes when he is calm, it is curious when he is curious. If you want to know how Heimerdinger feels, look at his pet. - Throwing Heimerdinger out of the council seems a bit much, but what choice did Jayce have? I guess Heimerdinger has seen terrible things that happend because of the (mis)use of magic and that fear lead him to do nothing and suppressing the research of magic, much like Vanders fear for the safety of his adopted children prevented him from fighting against the topside and turned the people to Silco. I am with Jayce on that matter, Heimerdingers inactions widened the rift between Piltover and Zaun. And he threatened to destroy the hexcore. That is nothing but a death sentence for Viktor. Should Jayce stand aside and watch his best friend die, while they have the technology to highly likely prevent that? Heimerdinger also never answers one of the questions Jayce and Viktor ask him. He always deflects and changes the subject. - The whole sequence from the water tower to the end of the episode was just brilliant. It was tragic, moving, heartbreaking and so extremely well done. Vi finally worked together with Caitlyn, she saw her trying to bring the water tower down and picked up on it instead of fighting against Silcos shimmer monsters. I got goosebumps when Jinx used the flare she got all those years ago from Vi. The music! The tormented ghosts of Mylo and Clagger on Jinx' back! 😱🤯 - "Are you real?" were the most heartbreaking words I've heard since episode three. 💔😭 - Vi and Powder didn't get the chance to really reunite - when Caitlyn entered the scene Sevikas words took full effect and turned Jinx immediatly against her. Of course it didn't help that Caitlyn indeed is an enforcer, the ultimate enemy from Jinx' point of view. The attack of the firelights then ended all attempts to talk. - The whole time Vi is the only one who really has no idea what that blue stone was and why everbody seems so keen to get their hands on it. - One of the firelights seems to be a child and one a ?wolf? - The one who got in a boxing fight with Vi and knocks her unconcious at the end of the fight. I'm sure he will feel Vi's punches for the next days. An addendum about Mel Medarda: Didn't she say she was an exile from her family? That would fit perfectly to her reaction. She isn't used to openness and honest feelings. Maybe she was in her younger days, but being expelled from your family is a traumatic experience. She learned to hide her vulnerability behind her always perfect femme-fatale-look and her confident appearance. Now that she lifted the curtain a tiny bit, I'm beginning to like her. I would really like to know why she was banished, what standards she fell short to. For now I'm with Jayce, I can't imagine how that could be possible. 🤔🙂 Another addendum about Heimerdinger: I think even Mel was surprised by Jayce's indeed bold move, but went along with it. She always pushed Jayce towards the leadership of the council, so she can reign through him, but she didn't seem to expect such a rash move. In the end it served her interests and she started to really like Jayce, will say her emotions begin to influence her political decisions. Maybe Heimerdinger gets back in touch with the real world, now he's thrown out of his ivory tower. 🤔 One more addendum about the reunion of the sisters (and then I'll shut up 😉): Thinking of the last picture in the opening title, Jinx' mental state and Vi's total lack of knowing what happened to her sister in all these years, I wouldn't hang my hopes to high, that this will have a happy end...🙈 As for now, Vi still thinks of Jinx as Powder, you saw her shock about her sisters behaviour at the fight. She's trying to save someone who doesn't exist anymore, at least not in the way she knew her. Did you notice that Jinx' tattoos looked exactly like the blue clouds from the flare? She literally tattooed Powders cry ("Please come back and find me") for Vi all over her body. 😭💔

Thank you so much for this detailed comment and insights! And don't worry, we will always read them entirely as soon as we can! We enjoy getting to know the perspective of others and it's always nice to share what we think about it. We realized what you mentioned about Sky while editing this episode, it's very interesting to think that there's a story behind every character, just like in real life. We didn't notice what Viktor did with that water cleaning system and it's so cool. We are happy he did such a selfless act. We still don't fully understand Medarda, but we doubt her intentions towards Jayce even if she's falling for him. Also, the detail about Jinx's tattoos is so interesting! We didn't think about that until you said it. We wonder if that was a hint of the producers of the show or if she knew that cloud was going to be blue all along and it had meaning for her. We are so happy you are enjoying the reactions 😄
