See, the thing is, though, even if Raelle finds out about her mom in the premiere, she will blame Scylla for it, because she will 100% believe it is something she has always known and kept it from her, so the timing on when that reunion happens is irrelevant. Having said that, I also have to agree that I don't think they will interact at all in the first half of the season. There is just way too much going on on both sides. Raelle will have a lot on her plate with whatever happened between her and Abigail, going back, working on getting Tally back, going to war college and she is definitely going to work towards moving on and is (in my opinion) definitely getting a new love interest. She won't care whether Scylla is alive or dead, even if Anacostia tells her Scylla is free.Guest wrote: ↑16 Jun 2020, 02:00SA. See for me the mom reveal is one of reasons I have a firm belief that Raelle and Scylla will interact in the first half of season 2. Like you I see that reveal coming around mid-season but imo the writers will definitely want to play out the angst of Scylla knowing Raelle's mom is alive and her keeping it from Raelle. Then Raelle finds out about her mom and Scylla knowing and that causes some drama between them and throws a wrench in them getting back together. I can't see them passing any of that up.villanelle wrote: ↑15 Jun 2020, 22:31Aren’t they? The second half of the first season told me otherwise.Guest wrote: ↑15 Jun 2020, 21:36
I kinda liked the finale despite it severely lacking Raylla moments because I thought it was great set up for next season. I don't however want to see them be separated for half a season and I don't think the writers are dumb enough to do that.
I don’t think they will interact at all at least until episode 3. We still have all that bullshit with Raelle and Abigail, “unbiddy-ing” Tally and war college before getting to the good stuff. The Willa reveal to Raelle sounds like a midseason stunt, which will coincide with the army realizing they will have to join forces with the Spree. That is only when Raelle and Scylla will interact again and will begin to work on their issues because they’ll be forced to work together. This show is fairly predictable and honestly, the meltdown will be fun to watch.
Scylla on the other hand, is going to be out there licking her wounds. She won't go after Raelle even after learning the truth about her mom, because Raelle put a very final end to it by saying she wishes they'd never met. Scylla is going to respect Raelle's decision (and herself) and focus on herself and what has always been her main goal (which is where her storyline with Anacostia will come to play). This all ties into what Eliot said and didn't say about season 2. And it makes sense to not say much at all about Raylla when there isn't much to reveal in the first place. Mind you that this is the same guy who by episode 4 had already revealed Scylla and Raelle wouldn't end the season together. Half a season of them working on themselves is something they would absolutely do before having them reunite midseason when shit is hitting the fan (Eliot did say their reunion would be dramatic) and from there work on rebuilding their relationship towards something that could go either way (friends/getting back together). That could be a compelling story if the writing is good, which it isn't. Not even Killing Eve has managed to write a cohesive season with their leads apart for too long so good luck with that.
This show is definitely predictable and I will eat my shoe if that's not where they are going. (Maybe we will hear more about it from Eliot/the cast at SDCC but I digress). I am also going to predict here that since Eliot talked about more Spree being infiltrated in the army, that Petra will be revealed as a Spree too, just to throw more mommy drama into the mix (and also more Raelle/Abigail parallels), so now all four of their moms hate the military and it'll set for a new war in season 3.
