First, she finds Dolls, who was lying in the Earp Barn after his return to town.
Waverly even loses herhand though she does manage to grow back the missing appendage quite quickly.
So I knew that she could sing and dance.
Its much, much worse.
I wrote that in.
Its not like her bragging or giving me a list of things she can do.
Its more just knowing about Dom and what shes capable of.
I did ask her on this one, Are you comfortable doing this?
And she said, Yes.
Shes so adorable and always so nervous, but then she totally nails it.
But you know what the craziest part is?
She filmed the cheerleading sequence and the singing sequence the same week.
She was so exhausted.
She can go from badass to comedic genius to vulnerable puppy all within the same scene.
She really is, for me, a once-in-a-lifetime performance.
It is a tour de force.
What does this mean for the Earp lineage or the heir, though?
Because she cant hold Peacemaker.
Is it something where we see thatWaverlymay step in?Its simply not good!
Even if she was 27, could she fire the gun?
Could she become the Earp heir?
So in a weird way, were heir-less.
Its not a good thing.
We saw when Wynonna was trying to face off against Waverly that it was obviously very hard for her.
So part of the concern is whether this thing is going to mimic Wynonna?
This thing can imitate humans.
But if and when the team finds out shes possessed, howarethey going to fix that?
We have the Ladies in Black, whove taken the faces of both Gardners sisters.
When did you know you wanted to have two other demons mimicking humans?Always.
Do we ever really know each other?
Do ever we really know what were capable of?
Do we really know what people are doing behind closed doors?
Theres also the return of Dolls!
Last season a lot of viewers were wondering what exactly he was.
Is it safe to say hes a dragon?Hes pretty dragonesque.
Im not going to yell at anyone on Twitter if they call him a dragon.
He seemed pretty dragony to me.
Im not familiar with any salamanders that can breathe a giant fireball when endangered.
Correct me if Im wrong, scientists, but Id say he definitely has dragon tendencies.
Was he born like that?
Did Black Badge do something to him?
What did the drugs have to do with either suppressing or bringing that out in him?
So, hes certainly less than human.
We can tell when someone is demonic or not.Exactly.
But were always careful.
We never want it to be like Sting, which is Bilbos sword which glows when orcs are out.
But Peacemaker can inherently tell whether someone is human or other, especially if Wynonna intends to harm them.
Thats when it lights up.
The other big twist of the episode is when Waverlylost her hand.
For a second, I really thought you were going to leave her one-handed.
Was that something you considered?Its pretty funny.
But when I was in the edit suite, I realized its much better to actually show the hand.
Because thats exactly what you think this was a fake-out.
Theyre not actually going to do it.
So Im so looking forward to the response on Twitter.
But thats crazy, right?
We actually did cut off her hand!
I was pretty proud of that moment in a horrible, sick way.
Its yourGame of Thronesmoment!Its myGame of Thronesmoment!
But luckily, shes tentacled, so shes going to be able to grow it back.
What can you tease aboutnextweeks episode?Playtime is over.
Its just a blistering season.
It just moves lightning-fast with so many shocks and surprises.
