Overall, it was definitely an interesting way to return with new episodes.
I can't wait for next week's episode with the flashbacks.
In regards to "Beauty and the Beast", I see a lot of familiar faces yet I can't be certain. Twilight's Laurent, Nikita's Guardian, Supernatural's Benny...does anyone else see it?
I also posted the next chapter for "More Than A Petrova 2: Legacies" so I hope you check it out if you're a fan of the crossover series I've written.
Now I must return to my academic research for two of my papers *sigh* I hate research.
I'll be back tomorrow for Nikita.
Have a great Thursday everyone!
