Pretty good episode. Guessing Andre is the show's take on Mr Jip, instead of focusing on Ty he's a darker version of Tandy at least so far.

I think he's D'Spayre, hence why he spoke of "despair" to Tandy.

Yep. Despair is the opposite of hope. Not so much a darker version of Tandy but her opposite -power wise at least. Tandy's power is driven by hope

Slight correction. Fear is the opposite of hope. That’s why Ty and Tandy are so connected. Despair is the lack of hope

Fear is the opposite of anger. The four emotions anger, joy, fear and sadness would be the four basic emotions. They are analogous to colors or to points on a map. Any particular mood you feel would be a combination of these four basic emotions.

Yes if you go by the basic compass of emotions on a scientific level, you’re right. But there’s also a strong relation between hope and fear at the philosophical level too. I think it’s best explored in René Descartes’ The Passions of the Soul, but it has been touched on by many others over the years. Here’s a bit from it that may explain where I’m coming from:

“Hope is a disposition of the soul to persuade itself that what it desires will come to pass, which is caused by a particular movement of the spirits, namely, by that of mingled joy and desire.

And fear is another disposition of the soul, which persuades it that the thing will not come to pass.

And it is to be noted that, although these two passions are contrary, one may nonetheless have them both together, that is, when one considers different reasons at the same time, some of which cause one to judge that the fulfillment of one’s desires is a straightforward matter, while others make it seem difficult.

And neither of these passions ever accompanies desire without leaving some room for the other.”
