The latest episode ofWynonna Earpwas a long time coming.
(Spoilers ahead forWynonna Earpseason 4 episode 10, Life Turned Her That Way.)
After Wynonna killed Hoyt, her ongoing struggles with drinking and her mental health became greatly amplified.
What about this event was so triggering for Wynonna?It wasnt so much what she did to Hoyt.
So it was like she felt trapped by circumstance and who she is.
She just didnt see any other way out other than to self-sabotage.
Waverly and Nicole stage an intervention for Wynonna at the beginning of this episode.
I dont know if I should be doing it anymore, but I dont see any other way.
So it just became a way to not have to think about it and just act.
The intervention gets really intense, especially when Waverly accuses Wynonna of turning into their father.
It just really messes with your identity, the way you see yourself.
I think for Wynonna, it must have been so, so painful.
If she does what she has to do, people will judge her and get upset with her.
And if she doesnt do it, then theyll die or theyll be unsafe.
And I think that her being necessary is also whats causing her a lot of pain.
For me, it was something interesting that Wynonna always drank.
What does that do to them?
And I think theres a lot of real-life examples of that.
I think her isolation has always been the core of her problems.
This was a small moment, but a really powerful one.
I think that would have been, on so many levels, really deeply hard for her.
Not that I think she processed it in the moment.
But this time, Jolene weaponizes that relationship.
The episode ends on this huge twist of Waverly becoming a dark angel.
And it kind of makes her independent of Wynonna, really, in a way shes never been before.
I know Emily Andras is still trying to find a new home forWynonna Earp.
I think that the way it ends would be a great ending.
And so I think its a brilliant ending.
Im really happy with it, but I also think that Emily just put so much heart into it.
It felt like she opened up her heart and just let everything spill out into that script.
Ive never loved a character the way Ive loved Wynonna.
And Im so grateful to have met her and loved her and been her.
