TV commentary:
Legacies- Great ep! Let's start with the sad B-plot. So, MG gets a camcorder from the AV club (apparently the one used by Kai in the prison world!) to film Lizzie to show her Sebastian isn't real. Which, I get what he's trying to do, but that's basically Lizzie's worst fucking nightmare. She's been struggling with mental illness her whole life, so to be confronted with proof that she's starting to see things and have imaginary conversations.
Needless to say, she's absolutely devastated, that she ends her friendship with MG. Or rather lets him know it never even existed. She goes off to the A-plot, while MG discovers Sebastian actually is real, as now he's the only one who can see him. Wonder what his deal is?
The MotW is an Oni. Malivore spits him out along with his captor, a crazy samurai demon hunter who took it into himself to trap it. Only when he gets dropped into MF, it escapes him, and the gang has to spend all day hunting it. Along the way we see that because of the memory wipe, Raf is back to crushing on Hope. Well, I guess he never stopped, he just put his feelings aside for Landon. But now that he and Landon don't even remember the latter dating her, he doesn't realize he has to set aside anything.
Hope finally confesses the truth to Landon about what they were to each other. Too bad he was possessed at the time, and remembers none of it.
Which brings us back to Lizzie. The poor girl is literally crying into her ice cream, all, "of course Sebastian wasn't real, who would ever like you?!" which was just so sad. She sees possessed Landon carrying the unfortunately dead samurai demon hunter's demon-killing sword heading to the new Malivore portal that bubbled up in the town square and immediately teeks it from him and stabs him because she's in a foul mood.
Landon was wanting this to happen anyways, because he was all, he's a phoenix, he gets possessed, they kill him and the demon, and then he rezzes demon free. Which is very presumptive, but whatever. Obviously Hosie were both against this. What's kinda hilarious is Lizzie wasn't privy to half the Oni stuff because she had her own shit going on today, but she's astute enough to actually know Landon's plan.
Unfortunately, it doesn't work, and she gets possessed instead. Since she's also crazy like samurai guy, the Oni can't fully control her, so she chains herself up. Hosie shows up, and she begs them to kill her. The whole Sebastian thing has her shook, and if she really is starting to be so crazy that she's seeing things, she doesn't want to live like that. She even tells Josie, this will be better than Josie beating her in the merge, since this way she won't infect her sister with her craziness.
In the end, Josie realizes she can siphon the sword and exorcise and kill the demon with magic instead and she does.
A few things with that. Because of all the black magic she's been doing recently, she's getting sick, so she asks the headmaster for the help he promised. He presents her with an hourglass that can take in all that darkness indefinitely, and its fine as long as it doesn't shatter. But yeah, an object full of all of the ill consequences of the dark magic Josie does is prolly not good. Particularly when Vardemus gets all evil and creepy as Josie releases the magic.
Secondly, in the C-plot, Alaric gets close to Sheriff Mac, until he finds out he was checking up on him and his girls. Given all he's experienced, he's immediately suspicious of her, but it turns out she was only checking up on him because she liked him and wanted to make sure he wasn't a dick. So they flirt, only he ends up standing her up.
Why? Because while he was flirting, his girls were fighting the Oni by themselves. And he doesn't want such distractions. Which brings us to point three- he tells Hope he shoulda been there for his daughters, and how he's glad she helped them out. But Hope rightfully says, while she did help talk Lizzie down, the solution was all Josie. So his daughters are strong than he thinks.
The end twist? Lizzie wakes up in the middle of the night, having remembered Hope!
Riverdale- Heh, everyone has one! So Betty and Jughead have Charles, Cheryl just found out she might have another sibling, now V has a secret sibling too? Apparently she's named Hermosa, and she's a PI from Miami who helps get their dad off.
The Betty serial killer gene is a little silly. Like in Charles' junior FBI training class, she manages to figure out who all the serial killers are from the pics. Which, what kinda class is that. He like shows sets of pics, she's all, "that's the serial killer!" and he's like "very good, you have great instincts!" Okay, but this is a class. He doesn't even go over who they were or maybe even try to ascertain why she's right. That's helpful for the other students!
Anyways, she fesses up about the serial killer gene to Charles, who tells her not to fret, he has it too, and joining the FBI helped him deal with it, so he thinks she should try it out too. Only, they share Alice as a parent not Hal. So if JB and Jug aren't serial killers, they got the gene from her. So does that mean Betty is doubly serial killer-y?
In the flash forward, FP shows up at a Riverdale class and arrests Archie, Betty and Veronica for Jughead's murder. I'm sure this is either a ruse, or maybe these aren't flashforwards, we're seeing scenes from the novel Jughead's writing for that new literary contest at school.
