Well, two of my theories that I mentioned in my comment on the previous episode were just merged and proven true. I figured that Liberty was possibly the one who killed Susan. But my main assumption was Stormfront as being the one who did that. And, then, guess what happened? Liberty IS Stormfront. I thought of that twist right before Valerie showed M.M., Annie, and Hughie a picture of Stormfront.
I'm assuming that, in the comics, Stormfront was also known as Liberty, for some reason. It wouldn't make sense for Liberty to have been a different character based on this episode and how Liberty and Stormfront are both the same person. I mean, Liberty could've been something that the show's writers came up with, and there never was someone known by that name in the comics, let alone Stormfront. Or there was a character known by that name, just not Stormfront, and they decided to merge both characters.
Honestly, I was surprised that Operation Rescue Becca almost happened. This is only the fourth episode of the season. I know that Billy had a deal with Grace in which he'd get Becca's location in return, or close to it. I guess I didn't expect that to happen so soon, for there to be an attempt. It felt sudden, like teleporting past the finish line and not simply running the race. It did go better than I thought it would, though. Billy was able to infiltrate the compound, surprisingly. Only Becca ended up not wanting to go with him in the end.
So, A-Train is out, out of The Seven, and replaced with Shockwave. I don't know about you, but I don't think that's going to work out at all. Is Shockwave even fast? Does he even have superpowers? He probably does, but we never saw them. We never saw him run in the first season against A-Train. He lost the race too quickly. Either way, I'm expecting him to be so below average that Homelander will kill him. Or that, despite being a Supe(r)hero, he ends up getting killed too easily, and Homelander will bring A-Train back.
This episode had no plot progression, only the illusion of it with Operation Rescue Becca (almost) happening. Unless you'd consider A-Train getting kicked out of The Seven as plot progression, among other things. Like Stormfront used to be known as Liberty. Or that The Deep is going through this weird selection/audition process of choosing a woman to be his wife.
It was more of an episode of character development, characters moments, or whatever. Characters dealing with themselves and whatnot, that sort of thing. It was an entertaining enough episode, but I don't necessarily "enjoy" stuff like that. Stuff like that isn't bad or anything like that, and I don't "have" a problem with it. It's just that I'm never that interested when it comes to stuff like that in any show. But there were still enough "entertaining" moments in this episode that made the episode, as a whole, entertaining to watch.
Alright, well, the good thing is that I'm starting to feel immersed in this season. All of the episodes, so far, including this one, have all had a sufficient amount of moments that were the highlights of each one, and the episodes themselves, as a whole, were pretty decent, too. The point is, I didn't start to become immersed in the season until now, just a little bit. So, in short, that's a good thing, I think. And I'm looking forward to what the rest of the season has in wait and becoming more immersed in it, hopefully.
