Continues to benefit from half a season of set up.
I wasn't a big fan of the first half of the season; it felt like nothing was happening compared to last season's constant pace. Now, they're reaping the benefits of it. There was so much going on in this episode that it is hard to keep track of.

Rachel agrees to decode the book on the condition that the clone club smuggles her out of the country, as Delphine eyes her up for the kill. So, Sarah and Felix are forced to steal the identity of Krystal Goderitch for Rachel. This lead to the most shocking part of the episode; Felix acting straight! The actor played that so wonderfully.

But, things get crazy when Rudy shows up at Scotty's house for the book. This was a really scary scene. Then, they initiate the plan. This activates a whole series of betrayals, twists, and turns that ramp up the intrigue. In the end, they get a clue where to find the Castor original, and head off to do so.

The plot threads continue to intertwine in a most satisfying manner

"Ruthless" is a great episode containing the customary twists and turns that we've come to expect and love from this series.

The opening scene introduces to the lovely Krystal Goderitch, the show's latest Orphan. She's a genuinely delightful character and it will be interesting to follow her arc.

Rachel continues to be an intriguing and threatening presence, even when wheelchair bound.

I'm genuinely excited to see where the series goes next.

[8.8] Rachel and the "captors"
cjonesas29 July 2021
A dramatically serious episode full of twists and turns, so much that it's a little hard to digest, especially the last minute being incredible story-wise.

Rachel is hurt physically and psychologically, making her a bitter enemy whose darkened emotions would shake the orphans like a powerful earthquake would she get the opportunity.

Sadly, it would seem that she's (only) a pawn in the hands of those who mischievously control her.

Would she be able to get a semblance of normal life or she'd drown in her own whirlpool of revenge?!
