Holy shit this one has a lot to unpack....

I can't really blame people for freaking out after last episode, but I kinda feel like if they'd stop rioting at the drop of a hat they'd be drawing less Grimm attacks.

Awww, poor street kids. Wonder if they're the kids of the thirsty moms who got murdered during the victory party?

May can generate stealth fields; explains how her and Joanna were invisible a couple episodes ago.

DID FIONA JUST HAMMERSPACE A WHOLE-ASS TRUCK?! Nice. Looked a lot like Digistructing in Borderlands.

Also just gonna say; really glad she's okay.

Ironwood definitely doesn't seem happy about the measures he's been having to take to try and get the tower built. Salem's efforts to frame him and disrupt the kingdom are DEFINITELY getting to his head.

Shut up Clover. Robyn is doing what she thinks she has to; exactly the same as Ironwood.

Nobody likes martial law; especially when declaring it means the bad guys win.

Okay, yeah. Nora is DEFINITELY from Mantle. Her reactions to this stuff are far, FAR too personal for that not to be the case.

Oh hey, Tyrian is, indeed, a deranged serial killer. Like, a literal serial killer even before Salem got her hands on him. Probably why he was chosen, actually. No morality, enjoys killing for the sake of it. Give somebody like that a purpose, an actual REASON to do it, and they're nearly unstoppable. I've got a screenshot of that report btw. I'll put it up shortly if nobody else has by the time I finish writing this post.

Even if he's being a huge idiot right now I feel bad for Ironwood. Forces are actively working to push him over the edge; and there's nothing he can do to stop them. Complete catch 22 situation.

Ooof... Ren, you really shouldn't have done that.

Yang and Blake finally talking some sense; bringing Robyn into the fold is probably their best bet at this point.

Pietro: "God damnit, some asshole using our own tech against us AGAIN." Maria: "I know, right? Whatever happened to pistols at noon when there was a dissagreement."

^Also, foreshadowing.

"The heating grid run in partnership with the SDC" And now we know why Watts is getting involved with Jacques. High-level network access.

So, Pietro sacrificed part of his own soul to create Penny; and had to do it again after the Vytal Festival... and it sounds like he may only be able to do it one more time.

Remember that part where I said Watts probably couldn't hack Penny? That was before we found out he was on the team that built her. Hopefully her new upgrades prevent it.

Looks like Gambol Shroud got upgraded for Dust after all. SHAME IT LOOKS EXACTLY THE SAME.

CALLED IT! ROBYN IS A LIE DETECTOR!

Moving along to the Atlas vault. Is the Staff of Creation some kind of infinite battery, or something else that can serve a similar purpose?

No way we're not going to see a LITERAL fall of Atlas some time in the future. Wonder if the staff could be used to recharge Oz's magic?

Oscar definitely doesn't like the idea of merging with Oz permanently. Wonder if he'll prevent it somehow...

He seems to be making some small progress in talking sense into Ironwood, though.

Hold up. Ironwood just had a PTSD-esque flashback of the black queen virus. Was that a hint at his backstory or something?

Does anybody else smell a setup for an assassination attempt, or just me?
