April goes to war against herself and Corikinus
Welcome,Class-mates!
Having a couple of aliens in its ranks doesnt hurt, either.
This week, swordhands are the new scissorhands.

Roll Call
One of the perils of sharing your heart with an alien creature?
Just suddenly having swords in your hands.
(Oh my.)
Also, her body can heal itself.
And she has super-strength.
Classis more grounded than your average superhero tale, anyway.
Right on cue, her father shows up.
Imagine his surprise when his daughter comes at him with a sword in each hand (honestly?
Good for her) and warns him to run.
Alone in Aprils bedroom, the teens comfort each other, and it leads to sex.
Right on cue, Aprils father shows up again.
(April: Theyre more like scimitars.)
Ram talks her down.
Corikinus, who doesnt have a Ram, gives into his own anger and kills Kharrus.
April tells Ram he cant save her, asks her mothers forgiveness, andplunges her hand into Jackies chest.WHAT?
Shes taking the fight directly to Corikinus.
Without much of a second thought, Ram leaps through and joins her.
This info comes to us courtesy of Dorothea Ames, who knows everything about everyone.
Quill cant tell either.
At the moment, she doesnt much care.
After all, she is now officially a Horcrux of sorts.
(Which, side note, Ames is totally an Umbridge-bang out.)
Weve seen April be strong and resilient and so goddamn sensible for three weeks now.
Turns out that despite all the therapy, this maybe wasnt the most healthy approach for her to take?
KELLY:Oh, I dont know I dont think emotionally manifested swords are healthy either.
Shes literally got a monster in her, and unlike with Ram, she didnt give her consent.
But obviously, her father doesnt help.
If so, how?
That unnerved me as well!
Instead, they get to exist and go on adventures.
(I also think youre actually right about Corikinus setting poor April back in her progress.)
KELLY:It was refreshing.
And they used protection, which of course brings us to their conversation with Aprils mom.
She deserves to retain some agency here.
and while Im not sure it did anything especially new with them, it at least raised the stakes.
No one can say April is just sitting back and taking it.
Shes making bold moves.
Matteusz is worried that Charlie can justify using a deadly weapon, even to save his own people.
What did you think of that debate?
Because Tanyadoesbring up an important point, his behavior is a very slippery slope.
Andthisbrings us to the Governors and ourlatestalien threat.
but also carnivorous, squirrel-eating petals?
But more importantly, do you trust the Governors?
(Ill stop applyingDoctor Whostandards toClasswhen they stop filming outside the church from Fathers Day.)
I find myself agreeing withChancellors review.
This show definitely needs more episodes.
Or better yet, a second season.
Instead, she focuses on the fact that they should have been at school instead of at home.
Talk about a situation well handled!

I dont like the thought of you facing anything alone.
Well always fight for you, and with you, if youll let us.
People go missing from Coal Hill have a distressing tendency to stay that way, dont you find?
