How has it solely been one yr since Kate Drew died as of Nancy Drew Season 4 Episode 8?
The one rationalization is that that is TV time. Generally that entails time jumps of months or years. And generally, a sequence that airs over years solely spans a really quick time frame for the characters concerned.
Nevertheless it felt jarring that in spite of everything Nancy and the Drew Crew have been by, it is all taken place in a single yr.
The Freaky Friday fashion twist of getting the crew swap our bodies was unusually amusing as I needed to maintain reminding myself who was in whose physique.
That’s apart from Bess being in Nick’s physique. Tunji Kasim was phenomenal at making me consider Bess now inhabited Nick’s physique. The voice and mannerisms had been spot-on and actually humorous.
However talking of Nick, was turning down the city council seat the appropriate transfer? Would not it’s simpler to guard the city from the bigots and fear-mongers whereas working contained in the system?
As a result of now there’s an empty council seat, and what are the percentages that Carly from Households For Reality in Historical past will attempt to seize that seat for herself and push her agenda?
Having the supernatural portion of the Historic Society change into cell is an excellent thought, I simply do not perceive why Nick could not assist Bess with that whereas nonetheless sitting in town council.
I even have blended emotions about Nick happening a date as George.
I am thrilled that Nick and George are associates that get alongside effectively sufficient to present each other recommendation on whom so far.
I simply cannot cease holding out hope these two will discover their method again collectively.
Though Cameron is clearly taken with George, as effectively he needs to be, I did not really feel any chemistry between these two. After all, the physique swap most likely did not assist.
However as amusing because the physique swap was, it was a reduction to have everybody get again to regular.
Hey, I can attain tall issues once more.
Nick
And regular was having Nancy and Ace working collectively irrespective of which physique they had been in.
It is at all times good to see Ace’s dad, however I needed to surprise why he stated that Nancy and Ace not being collectively is likely to be factor. What did he imply by that?
Monitoring down the black door turned out to be extra entertaining than I anticipated.
Nancy: I regarded all over the place. There are not any black doorways on the town corridor.
Ryan: Effectively, perhaps the spirit of the useless man wasn’t probably the most dependable supply.
The key room that held the remnants of The Governance from lots of of years in the past was suitably creepy.
The black door’s message was simply cryptic sufficient to be fascinating.
And I appreciated how George was capable of relate all of this to how Odette was murdered whereas on board the same ship.
It tracks that the creepy colonizers who murdered Odette would have a corpse girl tied to their ship.
George
All of it has me wanting ahead to the crew determining how you can destroy the Sin Eater and clear up this thriller.
And regardless that Ryan talked about that the Glasses had been behind the body-switching relic, it was a reduction to not must set eyes on them or their attractive however irritating son.
However the emotional pull of this installment was two-fold.
First, it was seeing how Nancy and Carson handled the anniversary of Kate’s loss of life.
Carson wished to have fun Kate’s life, however Nancy wasn’t prepared for that, not less than not at first.
Carson: I wish to bear in mind Kate. Rejoice her. Nancy, she simply desires her mother again.
Ryan: Your grief issues too, man. It’s okay to have fun Kate.
Carson: I do. In little methods, on daily basis, I do. Do I prioritize Nancy’s grieving over mine? Yeah, most likely. However that’s being a guardian.
One yr is not very lengthy, and it is also an eternity with regards to dropping somebody you’re keen on. Nancy and Carson are nonetheless attempting to navigate their grief.
With the ability to see issues from a distinct perspective whereas being Ace allowed her to appreciate how treasured the recollections of her mom are and that it is necessary to have fun them and the brand new household that she’s created over the earlier yr.
I’ve by no means actually relied on anybody earlier than outdoors of my mother and father. And you then all got here round, and we made this different little household. It scares me as a result of it’s been a yr at the moment since I misplaced my mother, and I don’t suppose I’d survive dropping one other person who I really like.
Nancy
Nobody will ever change her mom, however Nancy now has two dads and a gaggle of loyal associates who love her.
And she or he has Ace.
Ace: I do know what you misplaced a yr in the past at the moment. I simply wished to be right here for you in case you wanted something.
Nancy: Thanks. I imply it.
Nancy and Ace are nonetheless maneuvering by this minefield of feelings. Ought to they provide each other house? Can they transfer on and simply be associates?
Even when it hurts, we’re simply higher collectively.
Ace
As soon as once more, I can not assist however ponder what number of extra episodes Ace and Nancy might be aside. Will they break the curse and discover their method again to 1 one other?
And in that case, what number of installments will we have the ability to take pleasure in them as a pair earlier than the sequence ends?
Till then, it was great to see Nancy and Carson having enjoyable with their associates on such a troublesome day.
And I might like to see the bloopers and outtakes that should have taken place because the actors partook in that cake combat.
So what do you suppose, Nancy Drew followers?
Did Nick make the appropriate determination by not taking the city council seat? Do you suppose Carly from FFTH will find yourself taking his spot and inflicting much more bother?
Do you wish to see George date Cameron or are you continue to hoping she and Nick will reconcile?
And the way lengthy will we’ve got to attend for the crew to interrupt this curse so Ace and Nancy can lastly be collectively?
