Wynonna Earp Season 4 Episode 7 Review: Love’s All Over

https://ift.tt/eA8V8J

This Wynonna Earp review contains spoilers.

Wynonna Earp Season 4, Episode 7

Damn, it’s good to have Wynonna Earp back. “Love’s All Around” has a clever premise that wastes no time throwing us back into this world after more than six months away. In a mix of Greco-Roman mythology and Midsummer Night’s Dream, Waverly makes a bet with a stripper/food deliverer/”love professional” named Demetri (I guess Puck was already taken) that love is real. Unbeknownst to Waves, Demetri is actually a Cupid and he has slipped a vial of love flakes into her blazer pocket. Whoever touches a flake will fall in love with the first person they see, which leads to Waverly inadvertently spreading the “love disease” around Purgatory. Hilarious chaos ensues.

While Waverly is spreading love, Wynonna is falling apart. Consumed by the guilt she has around killing Holt in the midseason finale (a choice her fractured relationship with Doc has now become a symbol of), Wynonna is self-medicating with a combination of alcohol, sex, and Peacemaker. She’s suffering and further isolating herself in her pain. She’s doing badly enough that she misses Waverly and Nicole’s engagement party and, when she tries to make it up to them, manages to bring them on a very terrible bachelorette party (which is, honestly, a pretty competitive descriptor to earn).

Waverly demonstrates characteristic patience with her sister while also trying to hold her accountable for her actions. This seems to only make Wynonna judge herself harder. Our central heroine makes frequent references throughout the episode to how much everyone loves angel Waverly, implying that she falls somewhere on the other end of the spectrum. It’s an old story and pressure point for Wynonna, who was framed as the “screw up” in their family and community for so many years. While Wynonna had found a purpose and a support system since her return to town in Season 1 that kept those negative voices at bay, old habits die hard and, while Wynonna’s self-criticism may have originally come from external forces, right now, in this family she has built for herself, no one is judging Wynonna harder or harsher than Wynonna is judging herself.

Well, Doc might be judging Wynonna a little bit. Roughly a month after the events of the midseason finale (spring has sprung!), Doc is still struggling to forgive Wynonna for killing Holt. He is on his own journey of self-forgiveness and recovery and, frankly, he isn’t willing to sabotage his own mental health to join Wynonna in her pain… especially when he knows that, in the long run, this probably wouldn’t help Wynonna. The two obviously still love one another, but they are currently at an impasse: Wynonna needs to believe that she lives in a world where shooting Holt in the back was the necessary option, and Doc needs to live in a world where there are better ways. Because of this, these starcrossed lovers are living worlds apart.

This becomes particularly evident when the gang (including Nedley, Nicole, Amon, and Bunny Loblaw) are doused with a cloud of love flakes and all of their walls come down. The way these two stare into one another’s eyes is so different from the Cupid-inspired desire of the episode’s other connections. Their love isn’t simple and manufactured, it’s so very complex (just as Wayhaught’s is shown to be, even if Nicole really wants to get her body closer to Waverley’s, like, five minutes ago). “I don’t want to let go,” Wynonna tells Doc as the effects of the spell fade. (Um, same-sies, but with this TV show.)

The second half of Wynonna Earp Season 4 is burdened with the weight of Syfy’s cancellation of this beloved queer, feminist series. What might have been a perfectly fun spell-of-the-week episode of Wynonna Earp hits different when you know it is one of only six episodes left (barring the show getting picked up elsewhere, which I haven’t yet given up hope of happening). This was a fun episode, but in the long shadow of the show’s potential series finale, I perhaps unfairly want more. These kinds of “the gang goes mad” episodes are best when they tell us something new about our characters, and I’m not sure “Love’s All Around” did.

That being said, one of the thematic elements the episode pulled off was in eventually expanding the traditional definition of “love.” While the first few people who fell under the love spell became pretty horny, as more people fell under the spell, it became clear that sexual desire is far from the only expression of love. When Doc falls for Cleo, he spends his time doing emotional labor, encouraging her to forgive herself in a way that he hasn’t been able to do with Wynonna. And after Wynonna accidentally rains the love flakes down on the crew at Shorty’s, they spend most of their time dancing platonically in one another’s arms. Plot-wise, the rules of the love flakes were not as clear as they could have been, but, thematically, this episode nailed it. Waverly confirms it for us: “Love might be the only thing that’s real.” It might not last, and it doesn’t always look the same, but if this show believes in anything, it believes in love. If Wynonna Earp does end after this season, what a legacy that will be.

cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "106e33c0-3911-473c-b599-b1426db57530", }).render("0270c398a82f44f49c23c16122516796"); });

Additional thoughts.

Wayhaught is having a “medium fuzzy” wedding, y’all… This is going to be the series finale, right?

I wish Wynonna Earp had found a way to lean a bit further into the aesthetics of Midsummer Night’s Dream. Fairies and flower crowns are not necessary, but always encouraged.

“I love you.” “Nope.”

Doc’s sweater this episode, tho.

Whoever came up with the name “Bunny Loblaw” is a genius.

Never bet against Waverly Earp. Duh.

I continue to wish Jeremy was in this show 160% more.

“At first I thought that was a new, woke term for ‘strippers.'”

It is vital that this episode has a consent clarification (and it does), though I’m not sure they totally nail it. Although Demetri tells Waverley that “sex doesn’t enter the equation unless it’s what the client wants,” that doesn’t mean “the client” isn’t ignoring the consent of the person they want to have sex with.

“We’ll find a fat baby to curse tomorrow.”

The couch!

“Be your own legacy, Cleo.”

Yikes, Cleo Clanton is ready to continue M’am’s killing campaign… and Billy might be on board too?

“I’m a damn good sidekick.”

Poor Rachel.

“Have a good evening, lesbians.” “Actually, Waverly is bisexual.”

There were so many good references in this episode, but my favorite was probably Bend It Like Beckham.

It’s official: Wayhaught’s love has defeated homophobia.

Six tips to make holiday parties healthier

We lately consulted with Loblaw dietitian Tina Stewart that shared fantastic pointers on the best ways to consume well this holiday without having to spend for it in the brand-new year.

1. Shop smart Plan your grocery store journey. Make a list, as well as don't go without eating. A checklist maintains you on course, and also high-calorie impulse acquires will not be as appealing on a full tummy. Stewart also suggests integrating added vegetables into your vacation food selection preparation, rutabagas and also wonderful potatoes are a superb fibre-rich addition to your dinner plate.

2. Healthier options Try toasting your veggies as opposed to sautéing them - this brings out added flavour, and just calls for a little oil. Supermarket could provide toasting kits, or you could blend as well as match a choice of your very own - try combinations of beets, potatoes, carrots, sweet potato and also onions.

Nuts as well as olives are healthy and balanced treats, when portioned properly. (Bear in mind: olives are high in salt, and also an appropriate offering of nuts is 1.5 ounces, or a tiny handful.)

Substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream in dishes as well as dips to cut calories.

When offering cheese and crackers, select grainy crackers or Melba toast coupled with a solid flavoured, reduced-fat cheese. Goat's milk cheese is additionally a delicious alternative, if you're stressed over shedding flavour with reduced fat cheeses.

Hummus, pita, and veggies (attempt our hummus recipe, shown above) are a healthy and balanced option at the chips as well as dip table, as well as include a shot of healthy protein and fibre to your diet.

3. Party prep Eat before the party - participating in on a vacant belly places you in jeopardy of a buffet binge. Attempt a smaller sized variation of a regular dish, a sandwich, or an offering of Greek yogurt.

Cocktails are a celebration staple, but are high in calories as well as sugar. Try these tricks: turn a glass of wine into a spritzer with soda, alternating an alcoholic beverage with shimmering or flavoured water, or make use of diet plan mixers. (If you're the event host, laid out a bottle of mint, citrus, or apple-infused water for visitors and also enjoy it vanish!)

4. Buffet tips and tricks If you locate on your own at a party on a vacant tummy, make your very first buffet run all about the vegetables. The fiber will aid fill you up and also curb your appetite. Another practical technique is to use a tiny plate, and leave the buffet table to consume. An aesthetic of just how much you're consuming is a great method for part control.

5. All in moderation Don' t seem like you can't indulge, particularly in something that only comes your method yearly. Stewart recommends the 80/20 regulation (consuming healthily 80 percent of time, much less so the various other 20 percent). Being selective, and also opting for top quality over quantity is a good holiday concept. Small-sized treats are best extravagances for satisfying your sweet tooth (cake lollipops are a trendy, enjoyable dessert this year).

6. Damage control Have practical assumptions of yourself - and loosen up as well as enjoy your vacation. "Healthy and balanced eating is a pattern of eating, not just what we did last evening" claims Stewart, so if you overeat, "approve it, move on, and also try to come back on track the next day."

What do you do to maintain healthy throughout the holidays?

The contradiction of culture in Kensington Market is startling. There are few other places where you can walk past a store that you are not even sure you can afford to breathe near, while simultaneously looking at a wall absolutely covered in graffiti. Artists’ tags, marriage proposals, and captivating art are spray painted on the side of virtually every building, yet this common sign of social disorder is somehow elegant and essential to the atmosphere and aesthetic of Kensington Market. The smell of fish can overpower you on one street corner, the sweet aroma of chocolate on the next, and cannabis on the consequent corner. Old, beat up cars are parked along sidewalks alongside shiny motorcycles. Men in expensive business suits stride confidently along the street, eyes glued to their Blackberries, passing locals taking their adorable puppies for walks. In Kensington Market, the signs of crime and disorder seem to mingle with the signs of high class and status, creating the unique culture of the area. The contrast of the district spreads into the neighbourhood itself – with government housing neighbouring expensive condos; tourists visiting the Market by day to take photos for Instagram, locals taking over by night for parties and drug deals; locally owned establishments with a mom-and-pop feel selling overpriced items. Attempts have been made to gentrify the area in the past, for example when Loblaws tried to set up a location there, however these attempts have been largely unsuccessful due to mass protests. Both locals and visitors to the area refused to let the multinational corporation disrupt the carefully constructed society. It could be argued, however, that the area has been introducing gentrification by stealth, by allowing high-end, high-priced businesses to operate, but appeasing the public by having them be small or locally owned.

Alongside the class diversity, there is also ethnic and racial diversity throughout Kensington Market. In addition to the six locations featured on this walking tour (Moonbean Coffee Company, Blue Banana Market, Pancho’s Bakery, 4 Life Natural Foods, Bellevue Square Park, and The Dirty Bird Chicken and Waffles) there are also Chinese restaurants beside classic American, Indigenous cafes half a block from Mexican cuisine, Jamaican-Italian fusion, and clientele and staff to both match and extend beyond these locations. Some businesses broadcast music loudly out of their establishments, so you can go from hearing a top 40 hit from the radio to hearing salsa music within the stretch of a block.

The timing of the walking tour itself depends entirely on how long you wish to stay in each establishment, if you choose to order food, browse the selection of items, or enjoy the atmosphere. It also is dependent on how long you spend on the streets themselves, admiring architecture, aesthetic, graffiti art, or wandering into other stores to see how the cultural shifts apply to them as well. Walking between the locations alone will take approximately 10-15 minutes, but the wandering inside and around Kensington Market will take much more, so wear comfortable shoes! There isn’t any shelter from the weather on the street, so be sure to dress appropriately for whatever season it is – we went in early November and were quite chilly. It may also be useful to check out Kensington Market’s website (www.kensington-market.ca) to see if there are any local events occurring the day of your visit that may either hinder or enhance your walking tour experience, as well as ensuring that establishments will be open during the time of your tour.
