The Ballad of Lives Foregone – Jimmy Star’s World

Nancy Drew has probably the most horrible luck in terms of love.

Her former boyfriend, Owen, was killed. Then Ace died throughout her hallucination after which fell below Temperance’s demise curse.

And now on Nancy Drew Season 4 Episode 10 Nancy shot Tristan with a crossbow and nearly killed him.

Oh, and we failed to say that Tristan is definitely a sin eater and, even with out the poison arrow, continues to be fated to die earlier than he’s 30 years previous.

To suppose that Nancy was interested in the attractive lobsterman as a result of she thought he was uncomplicated. The Universe positively has a sick humorousness.

One of many solely low factors of this installment was that there was far an excessive amount of Tristan. Sure, the man has probably the most cute eyes I’ve ever seen, however he’s not Ace, and I’m a diehard Nace shipper.

The extra time Tristan is round correlates on to the much less time Nancy and Ace have collectively. Therefore, I intensely dislike Tristan Glass.

However apart from the overabundance of lobster boy, this episode was a fast-paced experience from starting to finish, with a lot of the Drew Crew working collectively.

I say most as a result of, as soon as once more, Ace spent his time away from the remainder of the group. It’s a pattern I’m actually starting to dislike.

At the least Bess was there for him. I appreciated Bess reminding Ace about how shut she acquired to Odette and the way that ended. Ace must be cautious with the connection he’s shaped with this stunning ghost.

And this ghost should have popped up for a cause, however as of now, her connection to the remainder of the story is a thriller.

Nevertheless, we did get some fantastic scenes between Nancy’s two dads as a panicked Ryan ran to Carson for assist on this Nancy Drew quote…

Carson: Whose blood is that?
Ryan: Tristan Glass’. The lobster child. The son of my mortal enemies. Sure, he’s the Sin Eater. Nancy shot him within the woods with a poison arrow, and now he may die.
Carson: Hold on. You introduced our daughter to the woods with a bow and arrow?
Ryan: I imply, technically, it was a small crossbow and a few arrows, however the entire plan to kill a sin eater was within the works lengthy earlier than I got here alongside.
Carson: Would you cease saying sin eater, prefer it’s one thing that everybody says! We’ve acquired actual issues right here, like how the Glasses hate you, which implies they hate our daughter by affiliation.

Carson’s plan to let the Glasses know what had occurred to their son was sound, however I nonetheless didn’t belief this couple even earlier than the twist on the finish.

Sure, you possibly can clarify lots of their habits away with their need to discover a technique to save their son, however Bess was proper. They tried to kill her and Ryan, and there’s no excuse for that.

Others have blacklisted the Glasses within the relic commerce as a result of they’ll’t be trusted.

In that vein, I used to be involved for Ryan as he searched the Yacht Membership and that home with Shelby Glass. Once they realized that Tristan was going to outlive the poison, after which Ryan gave her the right translation, I questioned if she’d take Ryan out proper there as a result of she had no additional use for him.

However her precise plan might have been worse as she already believed Nancy to be the final sinner on the fountain. Shelby was planning to kill Ryan’s daughter.

Admittedly, it’s each heartbreaking and extremely disturbing to think about Tristan as somewhat boy having to morph right into a sin eater. And realizing that their son solely has just a few quick years left to dwell has made his dad and mom determined, however that also doesn’t excuse their willingness to kill anybody who will get of their method with out even on the lookout for different choices.

However let’s go away the Glasses for a second and get again to Nancy.

Nancy and Nick made an important staff as they labored collectively to save lots of Tristan. I’ve actually loved how their friendship has grown this season. If Ace is Bess’ platanchor, Nick might become Nancy’s.

Nick: Everyone seems to be difficult.
Nancy: However I simply form of hoped deep down that he was my ticket to a mature, drama-free relationship.
Nick: Yeah, however possibly there’s no such factor.

Regardless of what Nancy says, it appears like Nick is true. Maybe Nancy is much more interested in Tristan now that there are obstacles of their method. Nancy is at her finest when she has one thing to battle for.

But when that’s the case, why doesn’t she put her effort and time into making an attempt to interrupt Temperance’s curse so she will be with Ace? I maintain remembering Nancy’s phrases from Nancy Drew Season 4 Episode 5…

The factor is, when you’ve the perfect kiss of your life, you don’t simply surrender on an individual. Proper?

Nancy

It nonetheless doesn’t make sense to me that Nancy would let Temperance win or that she’d surrender on the love of her life and simply transfer on.

And I hate it much more, realizing we now have so few episodes left earlier than the collection ends.

And I’ve just a few extra questions I’d like answered about “The Ballad of Lives Foregone.”

• 
  Why had been all of the sins stored in such fairly bottles?

• 
  How is Nashua related to Nancy? He claimed they’d walked this path earlier than, however they lived in several centuries. Might Temperance have one thing to do with this?

• 
  Was Nick proper? Is Nancy extra drawn to Tristan as a result of now she sees him as a thriller?

• 
  And what was up with the entire candles surrounding Nancy and Tristan on the finish? There’s a line between romantic lighting and a hearth hazard, and I believe they crossed it.

• 
  And can they let Ace out of the morgue so he may help save Nancy from the Glasses?
