The Outpost, “Under Yavalla’s Control”, Review!

Last season we had the threat of the Prime Order ready to invade Gallwood Outpost with the Blackbloods arriving to defeat them and then take over The Outpost!  Now, we have a new danger with Yavalla, the leader of the Blackbloods, using her zinj to take over the hearts and minds of everyone!  Now, there is a resistance group with Talon, Janzo, Garret, and Wren fighting against The United.  Zed has joined them.  An army camps outside of The Outpost, Zed sees the return of his Lu-Qiri, his zinj power is controlling the demons.  Talon wants to search for Tobin who may be zinjed.  He is kissing Gwynn and tries to tell her that he married Falista to get the promised army.  Garret and Talon ambushed Tobin and bring him to Janzo’s lab.  Janzo is frustrated because he thinks if Yavalla is controlling him, she find out about them.

In a cell, Garret tries to use a voice, but Tobin realizes who is in the resistance group and that he is in the lab.  Tobin explains his marriage.  Zed controls Tobin making him dance.  He knows the zinj would make him resistant to Zed’s power so he is in the group.  Sammie walks with Gwynn and they meet Yavalla.  Gwynn says her zinj did not divide when she met with Tobin.  Yavalla says that they have to kill Talon and Zed.  Gwynn says that Talon must be protected.  Garret is angry at Zed bringing in Yavalla.  Talon has a plan for Tobin to capture Gwen. Tobin enters the throne room, she kisses him, trying to zinjify him.  Sammie and Yavalla face Tobin outside of the throne room.  He whistles bringing in Zed and Talon!  Zed uses his zinj power, but is thrown back by Yavalla.  Sammie fights with Talon and she ultimately runs him through with a sword!  Really all they have to do is kill Yavalla, no more innocent deaths, Gwynn looks at Talon wanting her death.  Yavalla agrees to surrender to the group with Gwynn.  


The prisoners are taken to the cells under The Outpost and Talon says that Yavalla is defeated.  She says she is not stopped.  After asking about why Gwynn hasn’t infected Tobin, Janzo realizes that there is a gestation period to produce more zinj.  Wren meets with Zed and he tells her that her mother is imprisoned.  He says she is being corrupted by the zinj.  Should this season be called Bad Zinj?  Zed aks her about her loyalty and then sends her to Janzo.  He brings up the stinkfly queen theory and says she must be killed.  Wren wants another solution.  The zinj can be removed.  Talon tells Janzo that he posed a difficult choice for Wren.  Night, Gwynn is in pain as her zinj divides, she asks what happens when she doesn’t zinj another.  Yavalla captures a mouse and has Gwynn move the zinj to it.  Now zinjed, the mouse escapes the room.  Garret goes to talk to Gwynn. He was controlled by the Prime Order.  She tosses Garret to Yavalla’s cell and he stabs her with a sword.  Gwynn is not happy and Yavalla stands up.  The zinj in Gwynn must be keeping Yavalla alive!  Yavalla reaches out to hold Gwynn’s hand.  A solution would be to render Yavalla unconscious so she won’t be able to control others.

Yavalla has control of the mouse and sends it to the marketplace and over to Tobin.  It bites him zinjifying him!  Yavalla tells Gwynn that Tobin is coming for them.  Janzo is working in his lab.  It seems like he is working to solve the zinj problem like the Plaguelings first season.  Garret admits that Yavalla can’t be killed.  Tobin arrives and has his guards free the prisoners.  Morning, Wren meets with Munt, he admits he would not let anyone kill his mother.  Munt wants to join Wren to kill Janzo and she sends him away.  She enters the lab and she admits to Janzo her conflict of loyalty.  She says she’s in love with him!  He says he was in love with his sister, but of course that relationship ended.  They kiss and this is ended when Janzo explains that Yavalla can’t die.  Janzo says Garret stabbed her.  Wren heads off to the jail cells and sees the prisoners have escaped.  At the marketplace, the group gathers and asks a Blackblood guard that he has let them out.  Janzo realizes that Tobin is zinjed!  Garret and Talon look out from the battlement and see that Tobin’s army is gone!  Blackfists confront Zed that Yavalla has left with the army.  Garret reveals himself with Talon, the Blackfists back down by Zed’s command, and the group explains the situation.  Talon tells all of the soldiers, Blackbloods and humans, to work together.  Garret tells her that she has to become a leader, Garret leader of the humans, and Zed of the Blackbloods!  A very great episode about loyalty and love.  


Five Zinjes out of Five!
