After last week's premiere reveal that Victoria was alive, I had my concerns on how long the show would keep her in hiding in that cabin in the woods with a limited amount of other characters to interact with. It is nice to see that the show really didn't waste any time in getting her back to her throne in the Hamptons. Now, it should be interesting to see how long it will be before something spills the truth about her time in the woods and her return.
The closing interactions between Emily and the White-Haired Man were the episode's strongest and soapiest. They were both playing each other very well while also revealing just enough information to peak the other's interest. If he didn't attempt to kill her, it wouldn't have felt natural or in character. So in that respect, I applaud the show for going there even though they just whacked off another great villain. It should also be interesting to see the immediate reactions between Emily and Aidan in the next episode. That dynamic has been heavily hyped in the news but so far hasn't amounted too much in these first two episodes.
So what did everyone think of the episode? Upset that they killed the White-Haired Man? Are you wishing that it is Declan on the boat in the future or that he somehow gets early admission to college? Share your thoughts in the comments.
