The gangs mission in the premiere has a stop-and-start feel to it.
Satisfied, the Knight of Crowns gives the gang the crowns, and they proceed to crown each other.
We should honor it, says Quentin, making a case for taking this moment seriously.
And thats what the show does.
The scene plays out with way more sincerity than were used to on this show.
I have some character defects.
Im working on it.
After magically sealing their deal, Martin shares with her what he took away from his assault.
It helped me understand a truth.
Youre powerful or youre weak.
However, Julia declines, even after he gives her a taste of what that relief would feel like.
At this point, its still hard to judge how the show is handling this rape storyline.
But they went there, so we have to accept it.
That being said, Stella Maeve works, well, magic with the time she gets in the episode.
Im interested in seeing how the show uses Julia and Martins interesting dynamic.
