This hints that the Clantons have quite a bit of control over what goes on in Purgatory. Okay, I have one more thing to discuss when it comes to the Clantons - Amon’s comment that he doesn’t like them being in power. Is it a case of misremembering or is there something more what are your thoughts?ĭoc: And why, pray tell, would you help a demon hunter find her demon-slaying weapon?Īmon: Well because the Clantons are more powerful than me, and I don’t bottom for anyone, not even you. My one question is if there’s anything bigger going on when Wyatt says Doc shot first, and Doc says he didn’t. It would have been very easy to have Doc tell tales that vilify the Clantons, and so it’s fantastic that he doesn’t.ĭoc’s grown a bit wiser with age, and it’s a great contrast to the Clantons that are still hellbent on vengeance. It shows a lot of growth that Doc is able to talk about how the Clantons, back then, acted like everyone else during that time. The documentary at the museum with footage of Wyatt giving an interview is the icing on the cake. With the discovery that the Clantons are in town, it makes sense that Doc would reflect back on his time with Wyatt and the shootout at the O.K.

Plus, us knowing the details of the deal could have made Nicole’s Harry Potter-esque frog curse more enjoyable - I seriously couldn’t stop flashing back to Ron eating slugs. We already knew Nicole was desperate to get Waverly back, so all the flashback does is tease yet another mystery (and we already have too many of those). Showing us a flashback that doesn’t reveal anything except a glimpse at a desperate Nicole honestly isn’t worth showing. Wynonna Earp misses a huge opportunity here by only using the flashback to be cryptic. It’s thrilling and aggravating to know something that the characters don’t, having to wait on them to either suck it up and come clean or put the pieces together. WYNONNA EARP - “Holy War Part 1” Episode 405 - Pictured: (l-r) Melanie Scrofano as Wynonna Earp, Tim Rozon as Doc Holliday - (Photo by: Michelle Faye/Wynonna Earp Productions, Inc./SYFY) There still would have been shock value to learning the truth about the deal, and it would have created some great emotional tension as we wait for Waverly and everyone else to find out the truth. The flashback would have been a great place to reveal to us what deal Nicole made: what she agreed to do or to give up. One of the main questions of the hour involves the deal Nicole made with Margo Clanton. We’re introduced to a lot of new places, new magic, and a lot of frogs during the hour, but we get practically zero answers.
To say that Wynonna Earp Season 4 Episode 5, “Holy War Part 1,” is puzzling is an understatement.
