Okay these later episodes have pick up the slack. This show may get a 7....but this wasn't perfect I feel Pepshka is a bit of a stereotype. Also vodka guys? There is other things they drink in Russia.
I haven't updated in years but now I have changed that. I'll be free soon.

I don't think this episode was bad by any means. I'm glad that Pepesha got her time in the spotlight and I can't give enough praise to the performances of both Natalie Hoover and Julie Shields. We also get some much-needed traction on the story with Stigma.

Unfortunately, what drags the episode down, is the fact that the titular heroine is once again benched in her own show. It's true that Shy was a key player in helping Spirits making peace with her mother, but for the most part, Shy was treated like a supporting character or a glorified extra.

We're only one episode left and the season finale (yes, a new season has been confirmed) will either be an extended epilogue or will set up the story for next season. In any case, Shy hasn't been the amazing show I was hoping for. It's not bad, but other shows have certainly used its tropes and concepts way better.

This episode made me cry a lot, especially because it made me think of how sad and alone I would feel if I ever lost my mother.

Hell, I'm still crying while I'm typing this post. It really got to me.

Got some tears at the end.
The relationship between mother and daughter is very beautiful.
Nice flashback to give some faith to Pepesha's childhood.
The final moment with vodka is precious

So Tzveta existed as a way to hurt spirit by using her desire to see her mom again. Stigma is truly a powerful foe! I'm glad that Pepesha and Letana were able to use his power for a touching reunion.

On the one hand, can't believe the fight took four episodes to resolve! Must have been hard watching it weekly when the show was originally airing. I'm going to agree with the folks that felt that the fight didn't need to be that long.

On the other hand, I appreciate Pepesha getting closure with her mother.... though I wish it didn't happen at expense of making Teru a secondary character in her own show during the past 3-4 episodes.

What a tear-jerking episode...
Pepesha is so adorable when she's a child, but now, she's a drunkard old lady... 😭

It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.
