“I Thought You’d Be Happier To See Me” and “You’re A Long Way From Home” continue the thread of Legacies exploring the fallout of Hope (Danielle Rose Russell) unlocking her vampire side as Lizzie (Jenny Boyd) and Josie (Kaylee Bryant) enter the comatose mind of Alaric (Matthew Davis) and discover Hope’s responsibility for her situation, causing the Super Squad to get to planning how to take down their friend. The episodes also offer a pair of returns as Rebekah (Claire Holt) shows up in a failed attempt to get Hope back on the right path and then the tribrid takes a road trip to enlist the unwilling help of Clark (Nick Fink) for information about those in charge of Triad Industries who want her dead.

Since the character’s introduction in The Originals, and through the first three seasons of Legacies involving the character’s connection to Malivore, there has been a promise and destiny waiting to be fulfilled. “We All Knew This Day Was Coming” offers the calm before the storm with Hope (Danielle Rose Russell) living her last day among family and friends before choosing to end her life, triggering her vampire side, and truly taking on the mantle of the tribrid.

Legacies – You Have to Pick One This Time / There’s No I In Team, or Whatever

Both of the first two episodes of the Fourth Season of Legacies focus on plans to free Cleo (Omono Okojie) and Landon (Aria Shahghasemi) from Malivore. Since neither is successful, we can guess this will becoming a running theme. In the first plan, the super squad invade Malivore’s mind in an attempt to rescue the muse, who they believe holds the key to defeating the monster once and for all, only to almost be trapped with Malivore themselves. Malivore continues to do its best using both a stick and carrot to push Cleo to find the answer to its Tribrid problem. The second plan involves a risky spell to syphon Malivore from the Landon body and trap it into Ryan (Nick Fink), but that only creates a new monster and an eventual second hospital stay for Malivore’s least-favorite son.

Legacies - A New Hope television review

“A New Hope” is the goofiest episode of Legacies yet as the trio of Josie (Kaylee Bryant), Hope (Danielle Rose Russell), and Lizzie (Jenny Boyd), still tripping from the magic elixir they were dosed with, find themselves trapped in Lizzie’s childhood fan fiction which turns out to be plagiarized mostly from the original Star Wars. Forced to work their way through the story and confront past anguish, the journey also leads to Hope coming to terms with her destiny (thanks in part to the follow up story she penned as a child after being hurt by Lizzie’s version). Oh, there are also ninjas (because ninjas are cool!).

Legacies - This Feels a Little Cult-y television review

Josie (Kaylee Bryant) tricks Hope (Danielle Rose Russell) into joining her to check-in on Lizzie (Jenny Boyd) at a witch’s retreat. Josie’s idea is to help Hope get over the loss of Landon (Aria Shahghasemi). However, the cultish nature of the retreat soon suggests that there may actually be danger to save themselves from. Sibylla Deen guest-stars as Andi, the witch in charge of the retreat who is revealed to have ties to Triad Industries and is gathering enough witches to complete a summoning ritual. It’s fun seeing the three young women together again, as they have been separated by many of the recent storylines, and there’s plenty in the witches getting drugged (including, at one point, believing they were all being turned into pandas).
