:D

Yeah, I thought this episode would be a favourite for the Aidan/Sally shippers. Not my ship, but so happy for you!

I love the idea that Sally finally, finally learns to stop and think after going through this. Because you (and Aidan and Josh and Zoe and Donna) are right--she has great intentions, but she really needs to think the consequences through before acting. So yes, hopefully she learns something from this. That would be good.

So sad about Bridget.

I'm excited to see where they go next week!

I want to believe it will make Sally reconsider how she handles things in the future. It did seem like she was wising up a bit throughout the episode but I feel like she's had those moments before and she keeps doing impulsive/reckless/dangerous things. So I'm not sure if this will change anything but it would be nice if it did.

Though I do wonder if they are trying to create similarities in the way Aidan and Sally both keeping going through the same cycles. Aidan's is a bit more destructive than Sally's and he's been doing it much longer, but I wonder if it's intentional on the writers' part. I feel like Aidan's arc this season has really been leading him to a point where there's only one possible end for him and I'm wondering if they're doing the same with Sally. I wonder if the only option for them is to die again for the last time and move on to whatever afterlife is waiting for them. It would be a depressing ending, but it may also be the only way they find real redemption.

Bridget :(
And yes, I can't wait to see where they go from here. There's only, what, 5 episodes left?

Yeah, five episodes. So few!

I've been thinking for a while now that Aidan would die and Sally would get her door or some other chance to move on. Best case scenario for Aidan as far as I can see is a meaningful death, dying defending Josh and Nora and Sally maybe. (You make a good point that neither Aidan nor Sally seem to be able to break their behavioural cycles, regardless of how much they want to.)

I was hoping for a happy ending for Josh and Nora, but after last week I guess we'll see.

Some friends of mine suggested that Sally might end up undoing everyone getting turned into monsters, so that it could end with, I don't know, doctor!Josh meeting Nora in the hospital and Aidan returning home to his wife or something. Which seemed possible last week, and they've certainly been playing up how terrible it is to be a monster this season. But after this week, with everything that went wrong with intervening in the past, I don't think that's going to happen. So we're back to a hopefully noble death for Aidan, and a chance to move on for Sally. Probably. (OTOH, this show consistently surprises me, so it may do so again.)

Yeah, I just...assuming they want to end it with Aidan finding redemption, I can't see that happening any other way than him sacrificing himself to save someone (or choosing to die and saving all his future victims.) And I think the ultimate ending for Sally should be her finally getting her door. But it's purely wishful thinking on my part to think that they'd be written off into the afterlife together. I doubt it'll be anything that clean.

I wouldn't give up on a happy ending for Josh and Nora. Obviously what happened between them was awful, but if Josh can somehow get control of/get rid of his wolf, I don't see why they couldn't live happily ever after.

I really can't see them re-setting the characters that way. Even without this last episode, that would seem like a bit of a cop-out.
