This was yet another incredible episode of Anna pigeon, honestly this might be one of the best first seasons of a show that I’ve seen in a long time. Not one single episode this season has missed the mark and I can’t imagine any of the remaining ones will either.
I absolutely loved the opening of this episode being that everything Anna was saying and describing was slowly being proved wrong. Almost as if every single thing that happened down there was a part of her imagination. Considering some of it was, it’s not too far of a stretch to say that it was all fake.
I’ve been saying this from the start but there are definitely some strong feelings between Stanton and Anna, but this was the first episode where we actually got a proper glimpse of that and not just me guessing if there was or not. I’m genuinely so happy about it though. Even just him being the only one to really say “I believe you” was perfect. The look between the pair at the end of the episode spoke so loudly about their connection as well. (I can’t wait to see what their past is next episode)
The scene between Stanton and Jessie at the fire pit was so incredible. It was just two men who deeply care about Anna not acknowledging that they both want to be with her but just keeping an eye on her. It was a great contrast from that to when Anna decided to take a break from Jessie right after talking to Stanton. Whether that was a deciding factor in her taking the break or not is still to be seen (although I think it might be).
We got the dead pan comments back from Anna again and I laughed so much. “My husband was murdered, my perspective might be a little skewed” is honestly one of the funniest lines I’ve heard and it shouldn’t be, it’s just purely the way that Anna says it. Even her telling Bethany that if there’s one thing she learnt in the cave it’s to take small sips was so deadpan and so incredible, it just adds another layer of bite to the comment.
To be honest I’ve never really been that much of a fan of Bethany but right from the moment she was talking about buying a gun, I knew she was trying to cover up for something. However I don’t think I could have ever predicted that she would be Jeremiah Paulson’s daughter.
I was genuinely so shocked and I’m so impressed by how that was revealed. And the fact that the rest of the characters, including Manny don’t know is so good. I truly cannot wait to see how everything with Jeremiah unfolds because there’s no way he is going to let Anna get away safely, especially not after deleting that video.
There are only four episodes left and I’m so excited to see where Anna lands by the end of this season, she’s come a long way since the first episode and that last scene with Zoe proved it all.
