WHAT???? HOW CAN YOU END IT LIKE THAT SUE???? WTH? MORE MORE MORE NOW NOW NOW!

Now that I've calmed down and composed my thoughts, I'm going to tell you what I thought of this episode! I want to thank Ms. Quinn for trusting me to give an honest review of this little ditty. Receiving it for free has in no way altered my thoughts or review.

As with every other episode, this one picks up right where the last left off. If you haven't read the others, then you should probably stop here or it might spoil it all for you.

We find Wraith and Zachariel having joined not only their forces but themselves. And they begin to formulate a plan of escape. You can tell that Zachariel, while he says he's not in love with Wraith, certainly has an attachment to her and feels responsible for her. He also lets her in on his secrets, which were actually not too much of a surprise to me, but I wasn't 100% sure exactly what his secret was.

Wraith/Alexa continues to be one of the strongest female characters I have ever met. She is a bit hot headed and jumps into things without a plan at times. But for the most part she's super smart and really knows how to turn a situation to her advantage. I love that she got the upper hand somewhat in this episode as she continues to fight against the evil of Gehanna and Moloch.

Of course Quinn leaves us hanging in this episode, I think more so than any of the others so far. What clicked in my mind was how time is of the essence with whatever happens next. And I found my heart pounding in my chest with what could have happened. I was so scared for Wraith and Zachariel. I'm still scared for them. And I'm worried to lose the characters I have really grown to love. I have an attachment to them that I don't want broken.

Give me the next episode yesterday, please!
