#and then another likely timeskip (even if it's days/weeks not months like previous seasons) at the start of s5

[scoopstrooptm]

so anyway like... i know the duffers like to pretend that none of these kids have parents and conveniently exclude them from the narrative when it suits... but where is max’s mom when the cali crew go to visit her at the hospital? how come we only find out the fate of the wheelers after a huge fucking earthquake rips through the town? i know steve and robin’s parents might as well not exist at this point... but dustin’s mom? the sinclairs? also let’s talk about the fact that wayne’s trailer got destroyed by the earthquake since chrissy’s gate was in there, like i assume the fact that it made him homeless is why he’s at the school, but @the writers thank you for not explaining any of this

Amphibia Season 3B Predictions

There are 2 more days until the supposed last episode of 3A airs. And since we have received most of the episode titles for the season, I’ll be listing down my predictions on how all of these will go about:

Season 3 Episode 10 - Escape to Amphibia

A timeskip of about 1 month has occurred - a month (or so) to give Terri some time to figure out how to create a working portal. This is assuming that ‘If You Give A Frog A Cookie’ and ‘Froggy Little Christmas’ have a few weeks of difference.

In the context of Amphibia, this timeskip would mean that it has been over a month since Sasha has started the Wartwood resistance and over a month + 1 week since Marcy got possessed. That’s quite a long time for Anne to be away from her friends. Surely, this episode will get Anne to talk a little bit more about her feelings thus “forcing” her not to be in denial of everything anymore.

Sasha’s and Marcy’s families will be mentioned or be briefly shown, but nothing else will happen so as to give more screentime for Mr. X versus the Boonchuy family (plus the Plantars).

Mr. and Mrs. Boonchuy doesn’t want Anne to go back to Amphibia, forcing Anne to confess that there’s one more thing she hasn’t mentioned - that Sasha and Marcy are still stuck in the other world.

At this rate, it’s possible that Anne would want her parents to go to Amphibia with her because if they don’t, they’d probably be the ones to rot in jail as they helped Anne escape. I also predict that Dr. Frakes will come back and might even conspire with Mr. X to capture the Plantars, so it’ll be really dangerous for Mr. and Mrs. Boonchuy to stay put. Unless Frobo can remain on Earth to protect them, it’s possible that we’ll see the entire Boonchuy family in Amphibia.

Season 3 Episode 11A&B - Commander Anne / Sprivy

I’ve mentioned my predictions for this episode in another post. You can read them here.

Potential Sashanne moment: ~80%

Season 3 Episode 12A - Sasha’s Angels

"A team of Resistance fighters get captured." - I am presuming that these "Resistance fighters" are some Toad soldiers at Beatrix's hiding place.

Sasha gets into gear and asks some of the Wartwood villagers to help on her mission to get them back (#caringsashaisabonifidebadass). She'd choose Ivy, Maddie, and another frog (maybe Nelly can be a part of this?).

'Captured by what?', is a good a question. One possibility is Dark Marcy being the one who initiates this - deciding that the Resistance's soldiers must lessen in terms of strength. But they're useful, and thus the capture; not eliminate. She's being smart about it, using the strength of the Toad soldiers to her advantage (not like she needed it, though, when they have a bajilion frobots). She's unlike that pompous idiot King Andrias.

However, Sasha, Ivy, Maddie, and another frog will be able to save them before they are transported to Newtopia.

Anne is in Wartwood now, so even if it's a Sasha-centric episode, she'll be somewhere. But, 'where'? It'll be at the Plantar house, at her room, reading Marcy's journal for any clues.

Potential Marcanne moment: ~10%

Potential Sashanne moment: ~30%

Season 3 Episode 12B - Olm Town Road

"Anne and her friends search for the city of Proteus" - For the past few episodes, I'm assuming that Anne remained in Wartwood. So why would she suddenly thought of going to Proteus? My guess - Marcy's journal. She read through her journal (as mentioned previously) one more time and found a clue regarding olms.

It's interesting to me that the synopsis said "Anne and her friends". So, I'm assuming that Sasha (and probably Grime) will be joining in the adventure. Would be good too, so that they can interact with each other.

Potential Sashanne moment: ~40%

Season 3 Episode 13A - Mother of Olms

A continuation from the previous episode, Anne and “her friends” stayed in / somewhere near Proteus.

Valeriana will show up and talk more about the “secret society” she’s in.

There will be a mention of the prophecy.

At the same time, we turn to Olivia and Yunan who are most likely to be in jail because of their betrayal. They recall what happened after Marcy got possessed, when King Andrias said “What ‘destiny’, you ask? Well, I’ll just let it speak for itself.” So Valeriana and Dark Marcy will both say the prophecy in unison, albeit in different tones.

Season 3 Episode 13B - Grime’s Pupil

Many people have speculated the same thing: that it has 2 meanings; either it’s regarding Grime’s student (Sasha or someone else) or Grime’s blind eye (like, how he got that injury).

Matt Braly has mentioned in one of the interviews that Grime will be partnered with someone in 3B, so that might be for this section. He also said it’s “funny”, so I’m thinking it could either be Loggle or Wally and he’ll be teaching them how to fight properly.

Season 3 Episode 14A - The Root of Evil

Ah, now this... I had this thought that it could be about Marcy and The Core having a conversation in a mindscape. However, what if... it’s about Anne’s powers?

Anne has hinted in ‘The New Normal’ that she felt that using her powers were bad. So in this episode, that particular line will be tackled. 

It will explain the origins of the calamity box and why it’s called a “calamity”. Side note: I had a theory that the calamity box may be synonymous to the Pandora’s Box (which is a box that should not be opened, lest bad things happen) but I do not know how to phrase it correctly, so I scrapped the idea.

It will explain the responsibilities of the 3 gems’ holders (’Heart’, ‘Wit’, ‘Strength’) and Anne probably will not be very keen on it.

Season 3 Episode 14B - The Core & The King

King Andrias’ origin story as well as his reasoning for creating(?) The Core.

A paragraph that I wrote on this post regarding my thoughts on the history of King Andrias and his friends:

Season 3 Episode 15A - Newts in Tights

A “semi-filler” episode, in which Marcy will ‘take over the reigns’ of her body and be the same goofy Marcy as before by telling the newt soldiers to wear matching outfits - black, because they are the villains now.

Season 3 Episode 15B - Fight or Flight

Following the ending of ‘The Root of Evil’, Anne would have to decide whether or not she should accept the heavy responsibility of being “the hero” of Amphibia - a throwback to all the times Sprig had called her his hero.

At the same time, Olivia and Yunan has finally decided... to fight back. They escaped Newtopia and went immediately to Wartwood to look for any signs of Sasha (because at this point, they still do not know that Anne is back yet).

Meanwhile, Anne is very torn and we now see her get extremely stressed with the situation.

Olivia and Yunan manages to get to Wartwood (somehow or other) and they told Anne and Sasha the entirety of what happened to Marcy.

Anne and Sasha are furious as fuck.

Anne, particularly, gets so pissed off that she accidentally activated her powers without knowing and almost ran off for Newtopia.

Olivia/Yunan manages to capture her in time.

Anne faints because she used too much of her powers. It’s weird because it only took several seconds. The Plantars (and Sasha) got worried about this.

Yunan decides to train Anne and Sasha - she have a special treatment towards Anne particularly as she and Sasha didn’t really have a good impression of each other when she was ordered to capture Grime in ‘Toadcatcher’.

Season 3 Episode 16A(?) - The Three Armies

This is obviously the Frogs & Toads versus the Newts. 

The frogs are on Anne’s side, Sasha gathers the Toad army, and King Andrias rallies the Newts.

This episode will cover the different girls sharing their words of encouragement to boost the soldiers’ morale.
