The premise of this episode seemed to exonerate Michelle of her worst misdeeds, but in parts of it she seemed to personify Wynonna’s most destructive impulses.įinally, there is the Bulshar of it all. She was a lot of fun here, instantly understanding who Doc was, slapping him for complimenting Jolene, nd serving him a drink called, “the don’t have a stealth wife while you’re doing my daughter, you enormous prick.” But Nedley has given a very different impression of Michelle than anyone else. Now that the demon has been exorcised, I hope to get to know Michelle better as a character. That quality brings with it knowledge, power, and new narrative possibilities that intrigue me far more than any possible romantic entanglements. She seemed above the fray in a way that no one else – even supernatural beings like Doc, Dolls, and the Iron Witch – has been thus far. Kate piqued my interest for the first time tonight.

Still, it’s hard to imagine Doc ever being left out of the loop like this, and it’s something WayHaught will have to keep working through. Nicole has a point – she is often the last to know, though in the case of a fugitive mother, sometimes her status as an officer of the law makes that necessary. I hope that upcoming episodes delve into not only the distance Waverly feels from them, but also the disturbing similarities that Wynonna often sees, and the pattern that she could easily fall into.įinally, this episode picked back up the old thread of Nicole feeling left out of Waverly’s supernatural life, which was largely laid aside when Officer Haught became part of the team. “Jolene” sets up a dangerous dynamic between Wynonna and Michelle, one of co-dependence and self-destruction. If anything, it might be too on the nose. The revelation that Waverly is part angel is more in line with her character than the idea of her being a changeling. This episode reintroduced the notion of Waverly’s mysterious parentage and the distance it creates between her and the rest of the Earp family.
