4.0

Something bad is coming. It has awakened and it is hungry. It has revenge in its tiny and withered heart as it cuts a swath of death a mile wide as it moves. Reports flood the intel gatherers and every demon hunter that has any experience… or sense… is running for the hills. Wally, Risa and Ring have unintentionally made a name for themselves after the death of Elizabeth, so they have been elected by default to “take care of business”.

Ends are tied up with Stacia, Davis and Dieter. Elizabeth’s vicious cruelty to humans as well as her “children” was so profound that she really deserves to be brought back to endure the torture she forced upon others… over and over again. I found Dieter’s story absolutely fascinating and kudos given to him as he played his long game. The deviousness of these evil “Undying” rivals what legendary horrors actual men of history have committed upon their people and I and hope with every last corpuscle in my heart that no one should ever live through such abominable experiences again.

Delphine is back and she is finally overcoming her self loathing and decides she wants to relearn what it is to be a human. She wants to feel again. She has made actual friends that really care what happens to her and she found that she likes that feeling.

Warning: While ends are tied up, there are leads introduced and purposely left hanging – in order to drag us all into the next episode.
