I'm really glad to find that DISH simply screwed up, labeling this as "Ep 9" on my DVR, rather than there being an extra episode I somehow didn't have recorded that I still needed to see to be caught up before Crisis starts.....
Jeez, Kate, no matter how tough times get, you don't need to resort to mugging random people on the street, even if if they are part of a criminal gang. And really, how could possibly get for that jacket? Probably less than the half of your staff you pointlessly threw and left behind in the alley....
You know, the hero of this peace manages to arrange meet-ups with the psychotic, homicidal villain way too often, yet never manages to bring her in. I know she's Kate's sister, but it's really starting to make me wonder if Kate's actually a villain too. I mean, imagine if Batman had this many meetings with say, the Joke, or any other member of his rogues gallery when they were running around murdering people and wanted by the police.
I mean, sure, there's Catwoman, but I'm like 68% sure that Beth isn't doing what Catwoman does with Batman to say out of jail. And even, Batman would still occasionally bring her in.
"You kept this from the day of our bat mitzvahs."
I mean, she's been missing for 15, I don't think she kept the photo on her this whole time; more like she probably stole it when she broke into Jacob's house a few episodes back; which is probably an insignificant thing to quibble about, yet I have a feeling they're going to make a big deal about this photo while glossing over how Beth could even have it.
Wait, they're only just abducting Jacob now?? Then what the fuck was the point of the Mouse reveal at the end of the last episode? I take it that was really him in the car driving to wherever he is now in the scene right before the end of the last episode; when he was on the phone telling someone something about what he was doing? I honest had no idea what he was talking about or why he was driving anywhere, but then when the next scene revealed Mouse impersonating Jacob, I assumed the two scenes were somehow tied together; with implications that Jacob had been replaced at some point earlier in the episode. Now I have no fucking clue what's going on.
What I wouldn't give if Jacob were walking away from a strip club while making that call....
Jesus, Mary actually has a point; here Kate is giving a psycho like Alice/Beth a second, third, fourth, fifth, all the way up to probably - what episode are we on? Episode 8? - I'm going to go with eighth chance, but Catherine faked some lab result to give Kate and Jacob closure and she's beyond redemption. Maybe Catherine needs to go murder some people in order for Kate to reconsider.
Don't get me wrong, I don't care much for Catherine. She doesn't seem like a likable character. And her voice sounds like it should belong to a much younger woman, if that makes any sense, and it weirds me out. I'm just saying though, if you're going to damn Catherine because of what she's done, then you have to damn Beth too.
Random prediction - Mary just lied to Kate about Jacob going, knowing that it'll get her to agree to go. And then she's going to tell Jacob that Kate's going to get him to go. And if that's the case, Mary is diabolical and probably deserves to be Batwoman more than Kate.
I'll give Kate this, she's smarter than like, half of the other heroes on the Arrowverse shows, at least. I mean, look at Arrow. Nobody noticed when, in a fit of passion, Felicity accidentally murder Oliver for rebuffing her advances 5 years ago and replaced him with a robot....
Okay, a) why go to the trouble tranq'ing Sophie and Tyler, only to leave them tied up at Crows HQ where anyone could find them, even if they are in a room that's sound proof with one-way glass? It's a room that other agents use, isn't it?
And b) & c), why the hell would you need a meeting room where that as soundproof or where the windows were one way, looking out on all the office drones?
Now I'm going to ask the question that I didn't ask earlier when Mouse tranq'd them, which is, why didn't he just kill them? I didn't ask the question then, because I assumed they were intended for whatever "tea-party" Beth had planned, but since she just wanted them out of the way, a more foolproof plan would have been to get them out of her way permanently. I suppose Beth might not want to kill Sophie, if she's learned about her past with Kate, but if anything that might give someone like Beth added incentive to at least have Tyler killed, if she thought in some twisted way it might benefit Kate to make Sophie suddenly single and in the need of comforting.
Wait, did Kate warn Sophie that Jacob had been replaced? Because I feel like I missed that. Why the hell wouldn't you take a warning like that more seriously? For a bunch of special op, private security types, you really suck at your jobs.
Oh man, I'd have loved it if Catherine just blindly read whatever was on the teleprompter, like she was Ron Burgundy.
To be fair, I'm pretty sure I've met one or two college-age students may have in fact been drunk three for at least three years....
That's actually a rather impressive setup of Jacob, especially given his recent estrangement; even though the whole aspect of Mouse being able to so expertly mimic anyone, let alone Jacob, strains credulity.
The case against him does get spotty with Mary being able to testify that Beth admitted to having someone impersonate Jacob and do the poisoning.
