Misty and Colleen going Drunken Master on the pool jerks in the bar is pure joy.

Seeing more of Misty is a joy. She was my favorite in season 1 and continues to be it now. The conversation at the end was something I could relate to, and it was what pushed me to give the episode an 8 rather than a 7.

Just give her the arm.There are some good fight scenes in it.I hate the conversation between claire and luke,it was dumb until Luke put an hole in the wall. .The way they ended it was horrible.

Way too much Mariah. She's just a toned down version of Cottonmouth that, if he also felt out of place, was still an amazing performance.

Bushmaster fighting or his capoeira training are still ridiculous. But how does it work exactly, he enhances himself with voodoo drugs and rituals ? It works though, as he's able to punch Luke!

Still, this episode had some nice parts.

First the fight with the jamaicans, clearly discovering and testing Luke. The grenade bit was cool.

Then after all this time, Luke seems to have found a bit of personality ! It just turns out he's a bit of an asshole. Claire is right on almost everything. Except on his father. Why would she go see him ? And now that she's spoken to him 2 minutes she thinks she's an expert and that he has change ? The guy's a pastor. He knows how to have a good public image while cheating on his wife and neglecting his kids. What could she have seen that would be so different ?

That last scene between Luke and Claire was painful to watch — and not because I was overwhelmed with emotion. I just don’t buy into all the over-the-top melodrama. And why does Claire care so much about the father stuff? It’s all just a bit much.

Luke is 100% the least charismatic Defender. It almost makes complete sense how this episode barely focused on him. It wouldn’t be entertaining otherwise. This show is held up by its female characters... Mariah... Misty... and Claire, when she’s not with Luke. Go figure.

I am, however, into this new guy with his own mysterious set of powers. Curious to see where that goes. But other than him and the ladies... this just isn’t a strong series.
