I enjoyed this episode it was fun, dark lighters are a lot more interesting and important in this reboot, it makes sense, in the original darklighters were just enemies that killed white lighters with poison arrows, it was never really explained why though, the reboots dark lighters are a way better depiction and dark harry is awesome and rupert Evans plays both parts masterfully, but this episode with Helen was great, it had quite a edgy dark feel to it

It is really hard to know what to make of this. Both its plotlines are deeply unsatisfying. The stuff with Helen feels like someone remembered they'd left that plot coupon behind earlier in the season and felt the need to do something with it. The result is rather hollow and just confuses the mythology. I spent half the episode expecting a twist where they'd got the Helens mixed up but it really was that straightforward.
Meanwhile, the show seems to have backtracked on its moral of "No-one has the right to judge Macy for being evil" from last season, but the choices Macy makes here, especially one concerning Parker, don't seem any better.
And it seems the show is still incapable of giving Mel an interesting love interest. Maybe Ruby will get past her rather bland debut here, or maybe she'll be unceremoniously dropped after half a season.
