Story: Class: Brave-ish Heart
Written By: Patrick Ness
Length: 45 Minutes
Year: 2016
The conclusion to the previous episode's cliffhanger sees April and Ram in the "Underneath," the realm of the Shadow Kin, while much of the gang is left on Earth to figure out how to simultaneously get them back and deal wit hthe increasingly problematic Petal situation, AND Quill and Ames try to convince Charlie to use the power of his weird box (possibly filled with the souls of his kind) to destroy either the Petals (Ames' goal) or the Shadow Kin (Quill's goal). It is a fine follow-up, with a little bit of character stuff that the show is best at, but a lot more plot in this one.
It doesn't let the character arcs that were started in the last episode down or anything, all seem to get a fitting resolution, but the episode definitely felt more like it wanted to deal more with the plot and the alien threats our characters faced, than their personal issues that coincide with said alien threat, as previous episodes tend to have done. And that is okay. It was a fun episode to watch, and it had some nice character resolutions in there too (they were all set up well enough in the previous episode that they could let that all take a back seat to action until the finale of this one decided to wrap things up).
April ends up defeating Coranicus, and thus becomes the new Shadow King and uses her new army to destroy the Petals that are invading (oh and she also healed her mother's spine so she can walk again...and told her father to buzz off until she is ready for him). Charlie decides not to use his weapon against either thing, much to the frustration of Quill who wishes to see the Shadow Kin destroyed. This places more strain between the two, as Quill has become increasingly fed up with her role on Earth.
Another entertaining episode from this surprise of a series. I genuinely didn't think much of this show when it was announced. Being a Who spin-off made me at least give it a shot...but I really expected so little from it. A surprise hit!
