I like that we're getting to know the girls a little bit here! Like the kind of people they are. World-building still gets a little confusing though, or because we don't have all the details yet and I think that's fine for now.

I still find it weird that their guardian form makes them look like older versions of themselves. And then we have Irma who transformed and went to a club and flirted with a guy older than her?? What in the 😭😂 I mean she's still 13, she's a kid. I don't think that's safe, nor is it significant to their powers/guardian selves. Like what does looking older and curvier really do when they're fighting or using their powers? I think it doesn't really add anything 🥲
