Okay, this is exciting. I’m gonna attempt to do a sort of review/evaluation of the new episode (which will obviously contain spoilers) (btw if you couldn’t tell it’s mostly going to be about Garcy but I’ll try to do as much as I can from the entire episode)

**Okay, so first of all, Wyatt immediately got on my nerves. I normally love Wyatt, but who does he think he is, kicking his best friend out of their room to sleep on the FREAKING COUCH because he wants to have sexy time with his wife, which EVERYBODY CAN HEAR BTW. I normally love Jess too, but really guys??

**second of all, I loved the scene where they were all trying to figure out why rittenhouse went when it did and Connor’s drunk ass is like “well, it’s bloody dangerous” when Garcia accused him of never testing out the time machine for himself. Cut to Lucy the cutie who then exclaims “YEAH. I KNOW” (there’s no actually evaluation for this but it made me laugh sooo)

**THIS IS WHERE MY GARCY FANGIRLING STARTS. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. So I’m not sure if anyone noticed this, but when they first landed in the lifeboat and everyone was getting out, you can see Garcia helping Lucy out of the time machine. Rufus steps over and blocks most of the shot, (ugh), but you can clearly tell that he TAKES HER BY THE WAIST AND SWINGS HER AROUND TO THE GROUND. I don’t know about Lucy but I would’ve been swooning so hard. and then he proceeds to be the sass king he is with his “BOOM goes the dynamite” comment when Connor threw up.

**the first Garcy scene of the episode where they actually one-on-one talk is the scene from the sneak peak, and I regret nothing when I say that I can recite that entire scene word for word. Garcia opens up in this scene, makes himself vulnerable, which is not an easy thing to do considering everything he’s been through. But, he does. He needs to. He doesn’t open up to just anyone, though, but the girl who trusted him enough to risk everything to go back and give him the journal, her journal, with her own personal writings. He feels the need to make Lucy understand, in no uncertain terms, that he is there. He understands. She, understandably, snaps at him, but does that get him to back down? Hell no.

**cut to the scene where they’re being shot at and his first instinct is not to protect himself?? But to grab Lucy and shield her with his body and the wall. Snaps for you, Garcia. *snaps*

**THAT TRUCK SCENE OHMYGOD. So Garcia starts off by saying that he’s sorry and that she’s right. AGAIN, not an easy thing to do for him, and will probably only see him doing with her. He says that he doesn’t know the real her, only the Lucy in the journal, but would very much like to get to know her, as much as she’ll let him. Lucy is a little surprised, and a little suspicious. But he was sharing so much of his memories brought on by the song, that she would feel a sense of guilt if she didn’t say anything. The thing is, though, that once Lucy starts talking to him in that truck, she finds it a lot easier than she would of expected. And even though Garcia already knows all of this from the journal, he politely listens, glancing over at her every chance he gets, and this is when she finally realizes that he’s there, and always will be.

**nothing “mindbogoling” happened during the rest of their trip, so I’m just going to skip to when they get back. I absolutely loved when they all came out of the lifeboat laughing like the best of friends. It made me feel all warm inside. I hope Connor goes on more trips because he was such an adorable fanboy in this. But it would also be great if Wyatt and Rufus could warm up to Garcia instead of being so hostile all the damn time cause you know damn well that next week is gonna be testosterone city.

**Ohmygod the glance and smile Lucy and Garcia share as they are walking down the hall had me dead. And then she pointed looked at him, like, “talk later?” when Wyatt showed up. I did love that we got to see some serious action from him and a glimpse of the real rittenhouse instead of two girls and a guy eating fast food tacos. And, while they were on the trip Wyatt did mostly redeem himself with the whole not shooting Lucy’s mother thing. But, I digress.

**this is another Garcy scene from the last few minutes of the episode where there is no dialogue between them, but is so much more powerful than if they had spoken. Lucy, with her famous secret bottle of vodka, is having an inner battle with herself, trying to decide if she should really do what she wants to in that moment. There is a tiny shake of her head right before her knuckles reach the door, as if she can’t believe what she’s about to do, but is doing it anyway because she wants to. Then the way Garcia looks at her when he opens the door. BODY LANGUAGE PEOPLE. and that full stud smile he gives her when she finally looks up at him, then steps aside and sweeps his arm out to invite her in without any questions. If that doesn’t scream “trust” and “love” and “my ship is fucking sailing”, then I don’t know what does.

**the last scene gave me chills honestly. I went from being so high from the Garcy scene, to on the verge of tears in an instant. If my baby Rufus dies, I die. Plain and simple. Although, I’m fairly confident the writers wouldn’t do something like that, especially now that Jiya actually said it to him.

Anyway, so yeah, that my review/evaluation. Basically, Garcy made a shit ton of progress, Conner was being a fanboy, Rufus was being Rufus, and Wyatt as trying to one man ambush rittenhouse. I want to do more of these cause this was actually really fun.
