This week's title is particularly terrible, lol. It's okay to let the puns go sometimes!

DUTCH: You shouldn't sneak up on people.
D'AVIN: You should't scream in your sleep.

1.02 The Sugar Point Run callback! And then they smiled at each other cause they both remember. I died.

I knew we were headed to fast-aging kid because alien Trojan horse babies are always fast-aging, so not much to add on that. It's interesting that no one, not even the queen of suspicion Dutch, is treating him like a potential danger. Even though we know that with the Hullen, connected memory is a thing.

And then the immaculate conception baby story gets even more bible-y with them needing to stay out out of Old Town because Herod is hunting for the newborn king? And marked doors.

PIPPEN: Excuse me. Do you seriously have no drinks that aren't alcoholic or have you all just been drunk the whole time I've known you?

They've been to Utopia a couple times before, right? Including the first time Dutch and D'avin kissed? Is the entire season one long trip down memory lane?

Pree tries to steal Delle's jacket! And he misses Gared! The Gared/Fancy teamup is the cutest. I look forward to watching Gared adorably escape with a bunch of kids like a giant ginger pied piper.

The actual plot in this season still seems to be moving slowly, but I heart everyone so I guess it's fine?

Yep, saw that coming for the same reason.

The drunkenness comment was amazing.

Oooooh, great observation! I did not catch that.

I agree about the plot this season. It does seem slow, especially given Aneela's words at the end of last season, that the Lady would be "the end of everything if she gets out of the green." With such a huge threat looming, the plot hasn't really gone very far.

The plot hasn't moved a ton at all. The Lady hasn't made any moves until the vague ones in this episode. I don't know how interesting it's going to be to watch them decode Khylen's message, either, but maybe fun stuff will happen after.
