I still am a grouchy sceptic regarding everything about Johnny's storyline except D'avin's sad face. Sorry! It's interesting to watch the brothers each try to sell to each other that everything is fine-ish. While John is prepared to kill him and D'avin knows it. But D'avin's here and not trapped with the prison guards because Johnny needs him to find the pool, and D'avin's playing along like a kid trying not to set off the abuser. Dutch talking about D'av's sensitive heart was ❤ since it is as always one of my favourite topics. D'avin takes this whole mess as his fault, and Johnny is letting him.

"You always take his side." "You don't think that Dutch is going to want anything to do with a baby, do you?" Johnny's spouting so much bullshit, and it's hard to tell if he might believe even a single line said aloud in this ep. Dutch's lines have to be mostly true, I think? No reason for a green hallucination to lie. (Or a green psychic connection, since I feel like the difference is intended to be fuzzy there.)

D'AVIN: Johnny is in there somewhere and I will beat him out of you.

D'avin leads Johnny to the green, which by function of the green connection leads them to Dutch, or Dutch to them.

I loved the B-plots though. Delle's playbook is a messy mix of imperious Seyah tricks and Hullen punching now, but she can still save herself. Fabulously delivering the "men are trash so just break their fingers" speech. Which was so deliciously Killjoys.

Pip and Zeph and Pree are such a hilarious B-Team! That swearing in, omg. Pree usually takes sides! Pippen usually takes bribes! And Turin has had it with everyone. Lol at the contents of Johnny's PDD.
Playlists. Fanfic. Tiny ship makeovers. So much robot porn.

Great last five minutes. The team is FINALLY back together. Sort of. Wake up, Dutch!

That's a great observation, because it's something both Jacobis would have learned how to do from living with an abusive father.

I'm so glad Dutch is finally back with the team, but I'm still dying to know what happened while she was in there. I am impatient!

Heeeeeeeeee, Delle is one of my favorite things about this show.

Hahahaha, they are indeed Team Awesome Deputies.

That made me laugh so much.

There's this great shot of D'avin and Johnny facing the camera but not each other where it was just so clear they were both playing this fucked-up game.

Team Awesome Deputies. 

Love this name!
