Welp, this was a bit of a disappointment. I was really excited to see tiny Beep (Elwyn) interacting with the rest of the team, particularly Garrett. unfortunately, this took a much-unexpected turn, that I definitely didn’t like in regards to Elwyn’s growing up. I loved everything we were told about her, but what we saw just wasn’t what I wanted.
As for Garrett getting his happy ever after... so overdramatized. I honestly felt that we didn’t need Marika’s perspective and while I thought they were cute, the reveal of their past problems seemed so contrived. Garrett’s backstory also felt incredibly overdone. Then Marika’s final secret of why they couldn’t be together was just too freaking much, only to be canceled out.
