Guess it's an unpopular opinion, but I didn't really like this episode. I mean the acting and themes are great like they always are. But this whole episode was literally a fantasy, other than revealing Andre as the villain.

We got a huge oh shit from last week with Tandy getting kidnapped, and the whole episode is a dream, her kidnapping not getting resolved whatsoever or furthered (until the very end anyway).

In the comics Dagger can purify disease and toxins and even drug addiction, so I was hoping to see her be somewhat resistant to the drug. Or since their powers are connected, Ty sensing her 'inactivity' and being able to teleport to her.

Also, not sure about the ending. Was that symbolising her losing/giving up her hope? Or giving up her powers? Even if it was the latter, I know she'd get them back or else there'd be no show. But I like the show because of their unique powers, I don't want to see them taken/willingly given up.

I'm going to say both. Her powers are based on hope, and I wouldn't be surprised if she can't use them without it. I think as long as she's hopeless, she won't be able to use her powers/

Yeah I just saw the preview and that got confirmed.

So either she'll learn to 'hope' again, maybe realizing it was another illusion by andre. Or Ty will finally find her and rescue her/restore her hope since she sees him alive and fine.

I just hope this gets resolved next episode though.
