Well that was quite a reunion!

I love that you're watching the series and I cannot wait to see your reactions for the third act. I wonder how you'd critique some others like "Firefly", "Legend of Vox Machina", and even a K-drama. Especially since we're talking about one or two seasons.

The guy who helped Caitlyn and Vi get the healing potion (and who later turns on them to get shimmer to feed his addiction) is the guy from the first episode who was getting screwed over by Sevika (prior to her being employed by Silco) in Vander's bar. Vander stepped in and got him paid as originally agreed, versus the deal Sevika had proposed: take the reduced payment she was offering or die.

Yesssss! I think among the many memorable scenes in Arcane, the rotating shot of Jinx holding the flare as the ghost images of Milo and Claggor revolve with her is iconic and one of my personal favs. Great episode and great reaction! I hate to skip over the Council and Viktor, but I also don't want to write an even longer essay in this comment. I'll add more in the replies of this thread though!

Phew, what a heart-wrenching ending of act 2. Once again Vi was taken away from Powder/Jinx, once again Powder/Jinx was left behind, feeling abandoned. Thoughts and observations on this one: - The little girl in the flashback, who is looking at Young Viktor is Sky, his and Jayce's lab-assistant. She has apparently a crush on him since their childhood days in the undercity, but never had the courage to tell him. And I admire her so much. She is from the undercity like Viktor and managed to follow his path from the slums of the undercity to the academy of piltover, without connections, money or a patron. 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. 😅 - 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 when 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. As mentioned above, Silco leaves its mark everywhere, to emphasize his claim of the leadership of the undercity. - 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. 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 😉): 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. 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. 😭💔

Very small lore point. Mel's painting is of "The Immortal Bastion", the capital of the empire of Noxus where her family are from.
