Emma's safe this episode, too, don't worry.

No SW this week, too. Though it wouldn't make much sense with her relationship with Sam going on.

I meant the season. Lizze confirmed she's in S2 but had to delete the message in case of SAG violation.

Missed opportunity for her to shrink slightly during sex due to the amount of calories being used.

And yes, I get it, this is supposed to be wholesome, normal sex for her. That's important for her character. But there's still no reason her character traits should disappear, and that shrinking can't play into her normal life in a positive way.

I think the issue here is they haven't explained how the powers work and I think they fully intend to keep it vague so they can be as inconsistent as they feel on a whim.

Modern TV and movies seem to love skull fucking canon and consistency whenever they please and as someone on the spectrum it drives me insane. Why have any world building? Why have any consistency? Why not string random fucking words and events together incoherently because your director's ego isn't satisfied with the already few existing rules in your world you've chosen to not ignore?

Nope, nothing again but the next one is the Season Finale and looks like the school vs. the clean up crew.

So we will see.

We did at least get to see a drawer full of her tiny panties, ranging from half-sized to doll-sized. This show really knows how to tease.

Thanks, eddie! We've talked about the problematic nature of her different sizes within the mainstream psyche, but that scene demonstrates an understanding of the subtleties of SW in a very intimate way. I like to think this bodes well for their line of thinking for future moments with Emma.

Yeah, she's prepped for these occasions for sure, like the moment from EP1 wasn't likely her first time, the question remains if we will see more of Little Cricket after this?

Synopsis of the finale.

“In a surprising season finale twist, Sam teams up with Cate, spreading terror on campus. Andre has a life or death choice to make while Marie and Emma learn new ways to utilize their powers. It’s a show stopping civil war of supe against supe, friend against friend showdown, and nothing will ever be the same for our young heroes.“

Hmmmm, insta Shrink/Grow? I think some of us called this.

I'm guessing they're going to focus on her growing. Maybe her incident at chuck'e'cheese (or whatever) was foreshadowing and she'll end up eating people to grow or something fucked up like that... which makes me wonder if hee Mom calling her a monster implies she, like, ate other girls her age during that party or something. Fucking yikes.

IDK, I think Little Cricket is dead and this is the age of Enormous Emma from here on out. They definitely seem to want to link her shrinking and Marie's blood bending to self harm so I'll be VERY surprised if they don't make it so Marie never uses her own blood ever again and Emma never shrinks again.

Then again maybe Emma goes micro and rides a drop of blood to infiltrate someone and the eat them from the inside out in order to "ant-man" the person. Who knows. The writers are so committed to trolling expectations it's hard to tell.

We will see, tonight is the night.

I was right. Just not the way we expected. Hope Mercurius gets the scene.

What was that, a poof-shrink? Shrinking triggered by negative emotion? Woulda been nice if she didn't get benched for this episode, but this was a great show overall.

2nd one.

She is a side lead and the focus isn't on her per se but yeah, as I said before, episode 3 was basically her episode focus.

Summary
SpoilerShow
Sam joins Cate in freeing The Woods prisoners and rampage across campus. Emma confronts him in the stage room, but he leaves her, saying she only saved him to make herself feel worthwhile. Alone and crushed, she starts crying but then quickly realizes she's changing and ends up about 1 foot tall surrounded by her clothes. We don't see her again until after the last scene when she's normal sized and she, Marie, Andre, and Jordan are captured.

Yay, she's alive! And no more puking!

Sorry for the late timing, and I just saw the season finale myself.

So, here's the progressive shrinking scene, which Emma encountered her new way to shrink!

Called it! I figured there would be another trigger for her shrinking. I wouldn't be surprised if the show plays around with her shrinking a bit smaller than her normal height.
