Gotham City's worst kept secret is now not so secret.

Hopefully we can close the book on Kate now.

I'm getting exhausted with this show especially this episode. It was just a bunch of lazy writing.

Ryan has been dying for the entire season so lets get her to this Island and get her this cure! But first she has to choose between her life and Kates "life". She chooses her own, cool, I get it. She's supposed to get her cure but what happens? The cure goes up in flames. Even though someone could run down very quickly and pluck a rose. So Ryan is on her deathbed right? NOPE! She's had the cure THE ENTIRE TIMMMEEEE that just so happens blooms while all the others die. So now Ryan has to get back home to get the cure....where she just left to get the cure...

Alice goes to the island to get Kate...she has ends up having to choose between her sister or her amnesia boyfriend. She chooses her sister and kills her boyfriend. I get it, dont blame her. BUT what happens? Her sister isnt even on the island! She killed her boyfriend for nothing! BUT WAIT! He's not dead! The desert rose was on the knife and thus brings him back to life as soon as the knife is pulled out but Alice doesnt know this.

Julia Pennyworth comes back just in the knick of time to kill an assassin but she has news to deliver...Kate is DEAD YALL! They found body parts and it matched Kates D.N.A! Everyone is shook! They are sad. Understandable. Then we end the episode with...Kate is ALIVE!

I've never seen so many cop-outs in 1 episode. So many deaths that ended up not being deaths. It's a bit comedic.

I enjoyed Dues Ex Pennyworth.

Now hopefully, the Pirate Lesbian Island drama can be put behind us. I do agree it was a lot of twists for twists sakes. I also have to wonder about the Wallis Day announcement. I suspect the timing was to prevent a backlash. Which is unfortunate, as it sort of undercuts the end of the episode.

I respect them going all in on ACAB. Which puts Sophie's character into an interesting position.

Also, still love Mary's interactions with Ryan.

EDIT: And I have clearly been watching Arrowverse for too long when I know the beach of Coryanna is also Oliver's island.

That beach definitely gets its use. The 100 used it in the finale and it was just distracting because of Arrow lol. If a Wonder Woman CW show ever happened....they'd practically just live there.
