Edwin (re kiss): "That was unexpected."
Monty: "I have feelings for you too."
Edwin: "I wasn't talking about you."
Well, I don't think it takes much to guess who exactly that Edwin would have feelings for, huh? I mean, it's been rather signposted since the first episode. I actually felt a little bad for Monty here.
I know he's really a crow in human form doing Esther's bidding but he genuinely did feel for Edwin and while the latter has finally opened up to the possibility of being in love, it's not with Monty. Or the Cat King for those who ship that pairing.
Yes, Charles clearly the one whom Edwin likes. Edwin even seemed a bit disappointed when Charles told him about kissing Crystal, though handled it better than expected. Speaking of Charles and Crystal, the show quickly put them back into the friends zone and the better for it.
As for the case of the week - two "dragons" from a rival school of Niko's. The guys being douchey jocks Brad and Hunter who hired the Dead Boy Detectives to solve their murder. Turned out to be an accidental one from a vengeful girlfriend named Maren. She had every right to be mad but murder wasn't her intention.
However the story with the Dragons did have Charles and Crystal at odds a bit. Charles wanted to see the good in both Brad and Hunter while Crystal knew they were scumbags. Charles and Crystal did make up as the latter vowed to also get her memories back to spite the ever annoying presence of David the demon. Yup, he's still around as an antagonist for Crystal.
As for the rest of the episode, Niko's attempts to play matchmaker with Jenny and Maxine (Lindsey Gort) was an absolute car crash that resulted in the latter being killed off. At first, Maxine seemed perfect for Jenny and then she turned out to be a dangerous stalker who nearly killed her. Perhaps Jenny had the right idea being closed off after all.
- The director of this episode was Amanda Tapping, best known as Samantha Carter in Stargate SG-1. Lindsey Gort also appeared in Titans.
- Esther explained that snake in her cupboard needed to feast on children to maintain her youth. Esther got tricked by Lilith when she struck that deal for immortality.
- Jenny inherited her butcher's shop from her father instead of his narcissism and alcoholism. Characters like Shelby and Twitchy Richie also highlighted how horrible Brad and Hunter were.
- Chronology: Not long where the last episode left off.
The Case Of The Two Dragons was a little bit weaker compared to the last two episodes but I did like the movement on Edwin's story a certain scene between him and Charles. Also the just desserts that both Brad and Hunter got certainly worked too.
Rating: 7 out of 10
