Lol at Pree's Gared rescue. And how happy Gared was to see his violent husband.

Johnny saying his goodbyes to Dutch and D'avin was adorable. I'm not sure how I feel about this situation between them, even though they're both coming from understandable points of view based on their histories (as is Johnny, who is just fucking tired of being left.)

Decoding Khlyen's bullshit once again First it led her to Aneela, now Yalena. Who is an amazing Qreshi, and I'm glad we got to meet her. Even though the key to defeating the Lady could easily have been held by an inanimate statue or whatever. So much sunset colour filter. Aneela's hearing the lady directly? I feel like the answer on what wrecked Aneela's mental health is always changing (and no matter how many flashbacks we get, the story will always later turn out to be incomplete.)

Turin trying to decode human feelings for the cute, confused Hullen who's trying to human is hilarious. And apparently the lesson got through. Yay, more daahing rescues.


YALENA: It's a very hard life if you only have faith in yourself.

An entire episode on the importance of not giving up on people. Including D'avin. Who is about to get himself captured, that doofus.

Meeting Aneela's mother was awesome. She is a great character. One thing that confuses me, though: If the Lady already had access to all of Aneela's and Khlyen's memories because they were part of the green, wouldn't the Lady remember Yalena? So when Khlyen "implanted" the image of Yalena's face into Dutch's mind, wouldn't the Lady recognize her right away? That kind of negates the whole point of hiding all those mysterious clues inside a story that only Johnny would know was false. I am puzzled.

Turin trying to decode human feelings for the cute, confused Hullen who's trying to human is hilarious.

Hahahaha! The huge smile on his face when the Hullen declares, "You are my guys!" totally cracked me up.

I wanted Yalena senior to join the crew so much, though.

That would have been fun!

I have to say that the rules of the shared memories are getting fuzzier and fuzzier. I don't understand where the version of Dutch's memory that she would originally have had in the regular experiencing then remembering way went. Adam and Michelle did a con talk on the Labour Day weekend where they admitted that they only came up with the idea of meeting Aneela's mother when they realised they needed a person to be guarding the macguffin. So she's not someone they would have been planning for all along. It shows but it was a cool appearance.
