An episode filled with sex, violence, and gore still manages to give us the feels.

This week, we learn that they did in fact escape… killing a dozen guards in the process.

Meanwhile, we find Emma and Sam hiding out, reeling from what’s just happened.

Gen V

Golden Boy, died by suicide.

Sam flips his s screaming, breaking things, and crying.

Emma tries to console him, but he pushes her away.

He can’t bear getting close to someone else only for them to leave him.

The hole in a roll of tape, a donut, etc.

Shetty threatens to expose Tek unless he keeps quiet.

God I love this show.

And in a fit of anxiety… Sam starts hearing voices in his head.

Emma and Sam aren’t the only ones whose romance pulls on our heartstrings in this episode, though.

Andre and Cate are still together, and only growing closer.

Also of note is the connection between Marie and Jordan.

Acting on instinct, Jordan morphs into their male counterpart and kisses Marie.

After a beat of hesitation, Marie kisses them back and they go at it.

So when diplomacy fails, combat begins.

Andre throws a fridge at Sam, who easily flicks it away.

Marie tries to entangle him in a blood vine, but he throws it back at her.

Jordan uses their (still very vague) powers to try subduing Sam, but it’s no good.

He’s far too powerful for any one of them…

So Emma shoves a plate of meatballs into her mouth.

Emma eats so much that she grows to be taller than the house.

She grabs Sam like a toy and pins him to the ground.

He’s neutralized… for now.

But I would not want to be Emma purging her way back to normal size.
