INDEXING: REFLECTIONS episode #4, "Split Ends."

The fourth episode of Indexing: Reflections is available now! This is your talkpost and discussion zone. There will be spoilers in the comments here. As always on talkposts, I have partial comment amnesty, and will not be responding to everything.

"Split Ends" is where we really start rolling into the central plot of this season, and when we start to get a better look at the workings of the whiteout wood. Always Henry's favorite thing.

Once upon a time...

My first reaction at the end of the episode was simply: "Craaaaaaaaap."

I'm wondering what that Rapunzel did to end up in Childe... I'm also wondering if Childe is still going to be standing after this, or if the Bureau is going to adopt Sloane's "shoot 'em all and let Grimm sort 'em out" mentality.

You need a place to keep Actives while you're evaluating them, or you won't have any Actives on your field teams, and we've seem how badly the field teams need Actives. But I'm dubious about Childe as a long-term prison: it may be more practical *and* more merciful to simply shoot the people you can't recruit and be done with it.

Sloane is an Evil Stepsister; she has it mostly under control, but the role suits her nature. She's likely to be nastier than perfect pragmatism in a complicated kill/ brainwash/ imprison/ recruit/ watch dilemma. This doesn't mean she might not be closer to correct than the Bureau's current policy.

I have a crazy idea. How sure, absolutely positive no doubts about it, is Henry that her mom is dead? She only has the bureau's word her mom was a Sleeping Beauty that died. I mean it's not like the bureau has ever kept info from the team before, right?

There hasn't been the slightest indication that Henry questions the story, so I would say she's really absolutely positive no doubts about it her mother died. That doesn't mean it's true, just that she believes it.

I should perhaps have worded it differently. How is it Henry's that sure etc etc.

I just found it striking her only thought was a missing baby.

With a lot of the Princesses, sadly, if they can't be averted, they wind up imprisoned. They're too much of a focus to be left in the wild.
