This was a very emotional episode. On the one hand, I really enjoyed the conflict between the extreme human element (Perry) and the extreme vampire element (Mattie). I can see why people ship them together, they are really contrasting foils for their representative groups, the same way Laura and Carmilla are. Of course the meat of the whole episode was the scene between Laura and Carmilla. Not only was it well acted, but it emphasized what I love about Laura as a character, she wants Carmilla to care and if she can’t care about other then they can’t be together, even though it hurts so badly. I love that about Laura and her character. As for Carmilla, I was sad that she was no longer on Team Vamp-Sis, since Mattie is clearly a ride or die for her and they have a centuries long relationship, however, I think her love for Mattie and her love for Laura are so heavily in conflict and that is taking an emotional toil on her. Everything about this episode was well done. Can’t wait for the next one!
