    This episode is amazing commentary on today's society! The voice of women only being valued when in numbers, to how people sellout and over look other's trauma for money, to self-sabotaging one's self, and sacrificing your own dreams for the hopes of changing another, and of course - police brutality ~ because he did not have to shot him the way he did. Amazing episode as always! The story, timing, VA, scene setting, CC, and content are superb!

    I needed a good night's sleep to come back and leave a comment lol SPOILERS . . . * * * * is my biggest enemy and I will not rest until I see him SUFFER, oh and his dad can join him in the hellest of hells also!!!! Jesus fcking christ poor Erika, Tia, his parents...i even feel bad for Gideon, he might be fucked up but that was his bro ffs:(((( Also, did Lori just leave??? I can't lose two characters just like that!!! Professor Twatledge being fired was a nice treat tho, I loved the dance montage with the film playing. I also LOVED the "documentary", and how we followed the "hero's journey" as things got darker and more and more disturbing. I was not expecting Candy and Ezra to have such a sweet moment but I'm here for that friendship 1000%, but I can't have my Black Sheep babies feuding, this NEEDS TO STOP fr:'( and the final scene...i'm not even sure how to react...should I throw a bowl of popcorn at my tv, should i weep my eyes out, should i pretend it never happened or all of the above?? idk i just--- can't talk about that scene just yet. I am so scared of what the finale will do to me and when i say scared i mean SCARED!! TERRIFIED actually.

    Jasper 🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️ you had one job omgggg
  • @anywayschile8308
    I LOVE THE EPISODE!!! So emotional. F Ryan, he legit set them up I believe!! I know they all guilty but jasper nooooo. btw I WANT MY BOI DERECK FREE AND reunited WITH TRAVIS>😭😭😭😭
  • @Myschka
    Well, sh*t. As soon as i saw the police, i knew Jasper was f*cked. He's such a perfect scapegoat for Ryan. I just hope he's not dead, but i'll keep my expectations low, for the sake of my mental health. Anyway, another great episode !

    A+ to YouTube for deleting/not processing - WHATEVER - my BEST novel yet 😡​😡​😡​I cannot remember every comment I made throughout the episode butttt here's the gist lol FYIIIII - things may be out of order because at this point I am typing like a mad woman before I forget the good stuff lol (I am adding this after I typed everything and WOW I actually remembered a lot - proud of me...also I like this version better hehehehe) Shockingly, I was impressed with Thorne's ability to be on the run for over a full year!! Hate to be impressed but I meannnn...I would be found in milliseconds sksksks AND I remember being soooo happy with Bonnie for clicking the mute button before Judith got on my last damn nerve ​😊​ I fell in LOVEEEE with Dale's...I mean cough Derek's new nickname CRIPSYYYYY - Crispy boiisss for the W lol Kaci gets a big ol' fat F for failing to follow instructions ​🙄​and I mean this with my WHOLE heart - I really despise her character now...no matter her intentions!! FAKE A** *** LMAO Just listen to JoJo's song titled the same thing KACI'S ANTHEM 😊​ OOOOHHHH - and I LOVEDDD Candy's whole outfit!! Her earrings and skirt and shoes A DREAM 😍​😍​ Ahhh - which made me remember ROXY!!! She has impeccable style, and I was so ready to love her and her purple hair but only wanting to sign The Black Sheep because of the drama unfolding with Ezra and her LGBTQ comment made me so angry!! I love that Charlie refused to sell out - MAJORLY disappointed in my Travis boi 😔​I KNOW there will be a way better opportunity for them in the future!! I learned that I actually LOVE Lori so much and I am DEVASTATED that she is leaving Del Sol Valley...I was impressed with Mei & Drusilla for accepting her past (even if it was in the shallowest way aka "at least you're not ugly" lmao) BUTTTT the footage of that USB!! I was clutching my pearls!! Who has Thorne not murdered yet OMG! I am anxiously anticipating the day he and Judith GO DOOOOWWWWNNNN ​🤩​ There was soooo much character growth for EVERYONE (except the vomit squad: Judith, Rutledge, Ryan and Mr. Flint). Rutledge teaching prisoners now has to be one of my favorite things in the whole world lmaooo Honorable mention: Professor Drawn...I had a moment there 😭​The animation for the whole dance scene btw - GENIUS - whomever created that deserves a million standing ovations! It was so smooth and perfect chef's kiss - I really really reallyyyy loved Cleo's breakdown, so graceful 😭​ Now....the end...well...you already know I called it EVIL & UNFORGIVABLE - because it is. My poor boi Jasper, he had such a rough year and was getting ready to take over the art world. I am keeping faith that he is NOT gone but only injured - but in true Simmerboi fashion I believe you gave us the rough ending lol The scene with Jasper was so crucial in highlighting the systematic racism POC face every day; broke my heart when they took his phone to be a weapon and sadly this happens all too much irl. Overall, this was a gut-wrenching, thought-provoking, FANTASTICAL episode! The VA's did a magnificent job conveying all of the emotions the characters were experiencing. I am excited and not excited for the next installment lol BRAVAAAA 👏​👏​👏​
  • @yvettewaters
    I feel empty inside. I binge-watched it and now have nothing to watch 😢
  • @EkolarasMagnum
    I'm about to follow Cleo's advice and write a complaint letter over the emotional turmoil this episode put me through - I don't care whose ahem it ends up in but...wtf dude 😭😭😭 In all honesty though, I loved every second! The pacing was amazing and I was not prepared for most of what happened AT ALL. You warned us this will be a heavy one and you were not lying! Obviously the expose scene and THAT ENDING (!!!!) punched me in the gut, but idk you already had me in my feelings just when they discovered Hilda's remains :C she wasn't like a very important character but that's just so dark and such an awful way to go, damn.... ON A LIGHTER NOTE I loved the party scene sdkfjgks the gals doing their victory dance <33 (Gloria is my angel I love her sm and I'm insanely jealous of her dress, cherries are my 2nd fave fruit I NEED THAT DRESS IRL sdkfsdg) and loved the guys playing video games and then hooking up LOL relatable content skdfjdas Mei really said I LOVE BROKE B*TCHES AS LONG AS THEY AREN'T UGLY, LIKE, PICK A STRUGGLE fhjgksd I'm pleasantly surprised they were accepting of Lori <3 speaking of Lori if she's gone for good after this episode then....damn, we will for sure know she's your fave like why does she get to live? JK JK SDFKSDGHJS I hope this isn't the end of her time on the show, she's a very entertaining character - but if it is then good for her! Bye girlypop, send us a postcard from Strangerville ✌ I feel like I need to re-watch the second half of the episode to truly process it...like the art gallery should've been a wholesome moment for them all NOT THIS!! 😭 That shot of Tia smiling at Erika is gonna haunt me, because god only knows when she'll smile after this one...the situation with Cleo already got her so upset, this will absolutely destroy my mother and I'M NOT READY TO SEE IT! KSDFHSD As always, you did such an incredible job with this episode! Grab a blanket, some treats (pills don't count, nobody listen to Jasper!) or anything else you'd enjoy and relax because you earned yourself a relaxing break after writing and producing this wild ride! Much love mwah!! 💖💖💖

    That documentary was a clever idea. It's like that scene in Hamlet where his uncle walks out on that play. You know, a few episodes ago, it didn't look Rutledge had gone after anyone other than Fatima and Tia. And I thought to myself, "This is gonna be a hard sell." It looks like I was wrong.
  • @mg_milosh
    WOOOOOO this episode was really something... I'm just speechless. The last scene with Jasper and the police officer... HE CAN'T BE DEAD 😭😭😭 I'm such a sucker for your storytelling. This was a really great episode, probably my favorite so far and I know I say it under every episode, but it just means WU is a series out of this world. Now I'm gonna cry in bed cuz that ending literally made me question everything T_T
  • @rosskerr1439
    I just saw the end of this episode... Please tell me the show doesn't end here. I've seen too many quality machinima series stop dead in their tracks.
  • @Dizmandius
    And yet again I’m gagged and hooped I’m speechless
  • @lemonballs
    omg i just remembers you voiced mothwing in that rap battle 😭
  • @epicsweettreats
    This was amazing! The way you conduct each individual story into one cohesive plot is amazing! I will continue to applaud you! If you ever need to fill any side character spots, or background voice please let me know. I'd be excited to be part of such an astounding production!
  • @fedewolf838
    Che episodio, non posso credere che siamo quasi arrivati alla fine 🥹 Che Roxy fosse amante del drama si era già capito dal fatto che fosse amica di Morgan che è il DRAMA, ma dirlo così con tutta franchezza ai ragazzi 😬 Fa troppo male vedere Charlie e Travis litigare, è come vedere mamma e papà che litigano ahahaha Il documentario è stato un momento stupendo, i racconti delle ragazze da brividi e purtroppo estremamente realistici. Hai proprio saputo descrivere come l'abuso si trovi in quelle che potrebbero sembrare apparentemente semplici attenzioni o manifestazioni di ammirazione, ma in realtà sono veri e propri strumenti di manipolazione. Prof. Rutlege ha avuto la fine che si meritava, spero che Judith e George lo seguano a breve (il montaggio del carcere davvero esilarante🤣) Il finale, avendo visto gli episodi precedenti e la copertina un po' me lo aspettavo. Per quanto riguarda Jasper, per tutta la serie ho sempre creduto che un' aura funesta lo circondasse, per capirci un po' come Chloe di LIS che doveva sempre essere salvata da un destino fatale 🤣 Solo che in Ward University non si può tornare indietro e scegliere diversamente e temo davvero che per Jasper non ci sia più possibilità di salvezza (anche se in cuor mio spero che quel corrotto del cavolo abbia sbagliato la mira🙃)
  • @user-hf4yh3uh5w
    Hi ! This episode is absolutly amasing as always ! But I didn't understand what the police wanted from Jasper and Gideon (and Ryan ?) 😭 (I don't speak English verry well)
  • @colouringbooks
    i am getting so emotional at this documentary just rly want to applaud the framing of this - it's so important to remember sometimes abusers can be charismatic, can seem like they care, and they use these to take advantage of their victims. the slow realization of what he was doing throughout the film. it was just well done. the montage of all of these wonderful women ugh my heart the scene between cleo and her ballet teacher - the emotional beats this episode, jeez fuck rutledge erika and raja cuties travis is a little insensitive this ep haha his secret evil dad kidnapped her!!!! they're allowed to be awkward for another year?? candy and ezra friendship actually pretty cute why are these men whispering i don't trust men pls leave her alone i'm so surprised by rich girl posse hahaha lori leaving wow??? there's no way this is the end but also like judith tried to have her killed so understandable AW RAJA AWWWW AW ERIKA AHHH MY HEART :(((( ugh aw
