Is Jayce (Kevin Alejandro) now officially the worst guy ever? There’s a moment near the end of “The Message Hidden Within the Pattern” where Jinx (Ella Purnell) and Vi (Hailee Steinfeld) have come together, Vander has been cured by Viktor, the plans of Ambessa (Ellen Thomas) have been stymied, even Caitlyn (Katie Leung) has seen the error of her ways, and all is right with the world.
