Wild Speculation #40: Wynonna Earp Season 1 Episode 13, I Walk the Line

Hi, all! I am Star Wars Syl and this is the Remember Clone Captain Keeli blog.


Warning: This post will contain spoilers for this episode, and any episodes that came before it.


Okay. I loved the part where Doc and Dolls threw Wynonna out the window!

I'm really unconvinced about Bobo's protestations that he treated Willa fairly. Very unconvinced.

Waverly! Smart Waverly! I love this girl. Way to go, stealing Peacemaker!

Here's a snippet of what I scribbled while watching this episode: “You got any dynamite in there?” — Doc. I hope Doc gets his moment with— kark. He dies with dynamite. Oh, that'll be bittersweet!

Yep. I kept expecting for them to have to send dynamite in somewhere, Doc volunteering to carry it and set it off, all of them knowing he won't make it out, but Doc deciding it's OK. (Yes. I see the pun.)

And then that never happened. Can't say I'm sorry, exactly, since it means he'll be around for Season 2, and I really like this character!

Speaking of liking characters. Haught asking for an explanation? Dolls' predictable response of it's classified, followed by Doc instantly spilling the beans about all of it. The look on Dolls' face! And Haught's reaction was precious: “Finally! Thank you, it actually makes perfect sense.” “Agent Haught, welcome to the Black Badge Division.”

To echo Haught: Finally! Yes! Haught is on the team. That was quickly followed by utter terror on my part— followed by this scribbled on the notepaper: “SHE WORE A VEST! SO SMART! LOVE HAUGHT!!

Yep. My notes were all over the crazy place for this episode.

I loved Wynonna's acknowledgment to Waverly: “Finally picked a smart one” with an eye-wink. It was such a sweet benediction.

There were so many amazing Doc moments. I stared in disbelief and laughter when he picked which drug to administer to Dolls based on the fact he “had a horse named Lavender once.” And Dolls' reaction after he was conscious again? “You pocketed my drugs.” “I brought your drugs. You are the laziest junkie I have ever met.”

Also. Nedley! I so misjudged this man, and apparently so did Wynonna, since she blurts, “Must be the end of the world because I think I want to marry Sheriff Nedley.”

There was another reference I very much appreciated: “Old Yeller might owe you some royalties.” I grew up watching that movie!

And now we get down to some of the unanswered questions. Like the statement made to Waverly: “You're not even an Earp.” So... does that make her a Holliday? My current wild speculation, gross though it may be, is that Bobo is her dad. Because he makes that comment about thinking about trying to take the baby, but they didn't... but oh, ouch.

Willa's got Peacemaker, Bobo's got telekinetic powers, what do we got?” — Wynonna “Things that go boom.” — Doc

And then came the line about how Doc did not return to be a farmer, and by that point, I was absolutely convinced Doc was going to end up blowing himself up.

Careful, Earp. Doing what's right even in the face of ridiculous odds? You are beginning to sound like a hero.” — Doc, a wonderful and hilarious statement.

I loved the moment when Wynonna used the fact that she knew Bobo would pull the gun from her hands. And the fact that she had him pull the pin of the grenade, but also managed to have her middle finger involved as well! So there, man who kidnapped, brainwashed, and abused her sister!

I was not expecting the Ghost River Triangle to turn out to be not only a prison but a sanctuary, as they put it. That snake thing was... wow. Unexpected and rather shocking.

I found the ending very poignant, the decision Wynonna made in regards to Willa and then Bobo. I was stunned by what happened to Dolls, and was not ready for what happened to Waverly. And holy Sith, do I need Season 2. Hopefully I'll gain access to it sooner than later, but until then, I'll have to content myself with iZombie.

May the Force be with you!
