With mind-controlling slugs, musical numbers, fun moments, unicorns, shocking twists, and some relationship drama, Legacies Season 1 Episode 11 will go down as one of my favorite episodes to date. I expected there to be more to that beautiful unicorn showing up at the school than Dorian, Alaric, and Hope letting the legendary creature get a free pass because of how cute it is. I have to hand it to whoever is after the urn; they mostly fooled the characters into thinking they could have a much-deserved break. It turns out the supernatural world doesn't adhere to labor laws. Having a unicorn that brought mind-controlling slugs to the school was probably the most creative villain yet. It's amazing how the unicorn lured our favorites into a false sense of security before pulling the rug from under them. You're all getting detention. Dorian Permalink: You're all getting detention. Permalink: You're all getting detention. Having the teens and some of the adults lower their inhibitions presented us with some new conflicts for them, but it also showed how reserved some of them are. The confident and fun-loving Hope was exciting because this teenager has struggled to connect with people. It's down to her traumatic past, for sure, and it was exciting watching her come into her own and interact with people she would not usually. In the process, she got closer to Rafael, solidifying the fact that the creative forces are intent on making the love triangle canon. It's a disappointing direction, especially when you consider how well Hope gets on with both boys. Related: Enjoy UNLIMITED access to thousands of Movies and TV shows with Amazon Prime Video.

Out of the three, Rafael started Legacies Season 1 as my least favorite, but he's slowly growing on me. Revealing his feelings while under the influence of the slug was predictable, and I'm glad that Landon is now starting to question him about things. That look of uncertainty on Landon's face after checking in with Raf at the close of the hour confirmed that these two are going to be against each other pretty soon. My one real hope here is that the love triangle doesn't take over the whole show. The Vampire Diaries managed to weave the love triangle together with the main plots for its first two seasons. After that, it felt forced. Hopefully, the powers that be have learned from the mistakes from that show. It would be cruel to put fans through all this drama again. Related: Legacies Season 1 Episode 5 Review: Malivore I was oddly happy about the other love triangle. I figured there would be a pairing between Alaric and Emma from the get-go, and their day of playing hooky showed that there's more to their relationship than meets the eye. Hope: Hey, wait. Dorian: It's a monster, Hope. Hope: You're not seriously suggesting we kill a unicorn. Permalink: You're not seriously suggesting we kill a unicorn. Permalink: You're not seriously suggesting we kill a unicorn. I predicted Alaric wasn't under the influence of the slugs the moment he vetoed Emma's plan to take the urn to the river. It helped Emma realize that his feelings for her were real, but it also put her in an awkward position with Dorian. I never thought Alaric and Dorian would become love rivals, but they are. Their friendship spans years, and they rely on each other to solve crimes. Having them against each other will make for an interesting dynamic because there's no way Dorian would leave the school in the lurch with Malivore in full swing. Alaric being the one to get the final slug and give Malivore the urn was excellent storytelling. As the head of the school, it's going to cause a lot of complications. He's not going to be able to throw the blame at anyone. He's going to have to take accountability for these actions, even though he was not in control. Simply put, this is going to eat him up. Landon: So, Lizzie's acting weird. Rafael: She's not the only one. Hope: Babe, we should do a talent. Landon: What? You and me? Hope: I never wanted to before because I would have to do it alone, but now I have you. And we make up our own faction. The tribrid and you. Permalink: I never wanted to before because I would have to do it alone, but now I have you. And we make... Permalink: I never wanted to before because I would have to do it alone, but now I have you. And we make... It makes me wonder what the third part of Malivore is. With two pieces of the puzzle returned to the mystical place, the only logical conclusion is that Landon is the final piece. There's got to be a reason why he was the only person aside from Lizzie who did not get a slug sandwich for breakfast. I did think Hope would start to tell him some of the stuff about his mother to put his mind at ease, but they're in such a great place that she does not want to mess anything up. Related: Thw CW Renews 10 Dramas: Which Shows Missed the Cut? With five episodes left, the creatures are likely going to become more and more manipulative. Landon is either going to be the ultimate savior or the ultimate villain, and I'm actually fretting over this. He needs to learn everything, and help the school stay afloat. That's what I hope happens, but we've barely scratched the surface with TRIAD Industries. I still think the third reality from Legacies Season 1 Episode 10 could come true, minus the Klaus Mikaelson part. He is dead, and there's no coming back from that ... at least until Joseph Morgan agrees to reprise his role. Hell would have to freeze over for that to happen. Lizzie was tolerable, and that's saying something. I liked her on Legacies Season 1 Episode 10, but I figured she would be back to her passive-aggressive comments.<doc-sep>Legacies -- "This is the Part Where You Run" -- Image Number: LGC101c_0268b.jpg -- Pictured: Danielle Rose Russell as Hope -- Photo: Quantrell Colbert/The CW -- ÃÂ© 2018 The CW Network, LLC.

The Salavotore School may be unique because of its students, but Legacies is still a teen drama. So, it is time for a talent show episode to show off the casts’ musical talents. Apparently, the annual talent show is a big deal for the school and gets so competitive that Alaric is terrified of it. He uses the cover of protecting the school from whatever the next monster threat is to cancel the talent show. Of course, his daughters are the ones who step up to make sure the show still goes on. Lizzie and Josie take over planning the whole event. Except that the monster of this episode will back planning the talent show more difficult. There is a mind controlling slug on the loose. It is making everybody in the school lower their inhibitions. What could go wrong when a bunch of supernatural teens just do whatever they want and the voice telling them things are wrong goes away? To make things even worse, two of the three adults we see on Legacies will also be. affected. Alaric and Emma end up under the influence of the slug and decide they want to skip school for a bit. Here are the details on where to watch Legacies season 1, episode 11 both on TV and online.

All rights reserved. Will The Haunting of Bly Manor follow the same themes as Hill House? by Rachel Roth It’s time for the annual school talent show and every faction is planning on flaunting their best assets in this zany delightful episode of Legacies. The latest episode of Legacies is an entertaining mash-up of Invasion of the Body Snatchers and Glee, not a likely combination but one that works surprisingly well and plays to the show’s strengths. Given the main event of “We’re Gonna Need a Spotlight” is performance due to the annual school talent show, I figured I’d talk about my favorite performances or moments from the episode. 1. A unicorn appears! This week’s monster is actually… a unicorn? With a gleaming mane and glistening horn to match its silky silver coat. Considering Hope’s barricade spell, it appears they might just have a new pet who will stave off the other monsters. I mean if the unicorn doesn’t die there’s no reason to worry about another creature coming down the pipeline. Unfortunately, they wouldn’t have much of a show if they adopted a unicorn and ended the plot early so of course there is more to the story! The unicorn is merely a host to a nasty parasitic slug, one that spawns frequently and quickly infects almost every student at the school. At first, the symptoms of the parasite mimic those of intoxication, lowering inhibitions and making you giddy. But then once the slug has settled in and melted your mind to moldable mush, it activates its mind control abilities and its agenda is simple. Destroy the urn. 2. Kaleb croons a ballad. Kaleb’s slug influences him to put on a crazy show with the other vampires for the school’s talent show. It serves as a perfect distraction for Josie and Penelope (also infected) to try and steal the urn and destroy it. I was surprised by the singing voice on Chris Lee! He can certainly sing. Actually, most of the cast can as was demonstrated by this episode. Watch your favorite shows on fuboTV: Watch over 67 live sports and entertainment channels with a 7-day FREE trial! 3. Alaric and Emma perform karaoke. In an incredibly endearing scene, Alaric finally gets to loosen up a little bit with fellow instructor, Emma Tig. The two go to a bar flirt over the drinking game “Truth or Shot” before finally getting up on stage and performing an incredible duet together. Everything is fun and games until the night winds down and they become aware of their infected status and the fact they have to shock themselves in order to rid themselves of the parasitic slugs. Since Emma is in a relationship, she decides she should kiss Alaric while she can excuse herself by the body-snatching slug instead of having to take responsibility for her attraction to him. Except, it turns out, only Emma was infected. Alaric? Not so much. He just got caught up in the buzz of his attraction to her and the alcohol. But unfortunately, by episode’s end, we learn Emma’s significant other is actually Dorian. Uh-oh. 4. Josie gets her moment in the spotlight. Josie has an interesting week between getting infected by the slug parasite, sharing a few kisses with her ex, Penelope, and then rebelling against Lizzie’s cane dance for the talent show. Since the first talent show winds up devolving into a zombie-esque disaster, in the second go-round, Lizzie gives up the spotlight to her sister for a change. It was a sweet moment between the sisters and an even better one for the impressive singing talents of Kaylee Bryant. Leading the charge with her song, the other witches file in behind her for a dance and score them yet another win. 5. Landon serenades Hope. Just when you thought the singing performances were done for the night, Landon breaks out his guitar to serenade Hope. Shippers of the pair were likely happy with the bulk of the episode since an infected-Hope was riding high on the blossoming love. Between cake decorating and public PDA sessions, the only person not getting a little starry-eyed by the couple was Rafael, who is still nursing one heck of a crush on Hope himself. But the second Hope learned of Landon’s journal of song lyrics, she was pushing for him to give her a little taste of the musical magic and this week he finally does! The scene was super adorable and it even made Hope cry! Are Landon and Hope officially Legacies version of #Stelena? Maybe Stefan never started strumming an instrument but they definitely share some similarities in terms of early sincerity. But would that make Rafael the Damon? Or is another bad boy romantic foil blooming down the line? Odds & Ends As a fan of the Josie/Penelope ship I was happy to see the two of them together this week although not necessarily under the circumstances since they both were slug-infected. I hope that moving forward they can find their way back together. A new episode of Legacies titled “There’s a Mummy on Main Street” premieres February 28 on the CW.<doc-sep>We were lucky enough to get a chance to check out Legacies season 1, episode 11, “We’re Gonna Need a Spotlight,” a little early and we can barely contain our excitement. It may have only been one week off, but it has definitely been too long since we had a new Legacies episode. Don’t ask me how I’m going to deal with the long hiatus after the finale airs on March 28, 2019, because I’m just trying not to think about it. Anyways, we have a seriously wonderful episode airing tonight that you aren’t going to want to miss. Without giving away anything major, here are a few hints at what you have to look forward to when Legacies season 1, episode 11, “We’re Gonna Need a Spotlight,” airs tonight! Happy-go-lucky Hope Mikaelson You heard that correctly. It’s totally weird seeing Hope bubbly and agreeable, but that is the best way to describe her in this episode… at least for a little while. Then again, it is nice to see her happy, even if it is a little superficial. Hopefully someday we’ll get to see her organically happy and living her best life. A SUPER CUTE Handon moment There are a few shipper-y moments in this episode, but there is one absolutely epic moment between Hope and Landon that will definitely be warming my little shipper heart for weeks to come. It will be going on my favorite season 1 moments list for sure. Alaric gets to cut loose So, it’s been a while since we’ve seen the Ric we knew as Damon’s drinking buddy, but he gets a chance to cut loose a little in this episode. We’re talking karaoke-singing, boa-wearing, belting out Dirty Dancing‘s “I’ve Had the Time of My Life,” kind of cutting loose. This might be a new side of drunk Ric we haven’t seen, and I really loved it. Karen David, who plays Emma, tweeted a pic that will definitely give you an idea of what lies in store for their performance tonight. It’s perfection. Article Continues Below Musical numbers from not 1, not 2, but 3 very talented cast members We all knew that we were going to get the vocal stylings of Kaylee Bryant as Josie, but Kaleb and Emma also have musical numbers in this episode. Oh, and Peyton Alex Smith displays a talent that will definitely have you giggling a bit in your living rooms. This is one hella talented cast and it is wonderful to see them get to utilize all those talents in this ep. A slightly more self-aware Lizzie Saltzman It sounds like the twins did more than just visit with their mom while they were away. Lizzie and Caroline must have had some serious conversations because Lizzie returns with a renewed spirit and a little trinket to help her change her attitude toward other people. Lastly, kisses galore! There is more than one kissing couple in this episode. We aren’t telling you who they are, but it’s always fun to see what happens when inhibitions are lowered. Supernatural shows have a unique chance to give their characters a free pass to run around and act on their basest impulses in eps like this, so it’s a great chance to see what all our faves would do if nothing was holding them back. Make sure you tune in to the CW tonight at 9pm ET for ‘Legacies’ 1×11 and see all the fun for yourself!<doc-sep>
Legacies continues its first season with episode 12 “There’s a Mummy on Main Street” on Thursday night. Here’s how to watch the episode online. It is time for spring break on Legacies. This year’s adventure will be cleaning up the mess that slug-infected Alaric made at the end of the last episode. Lizzie, Josie, Hope, Kaleb, Dorian and Emma are tasked with tracking now the urn that Alaric threw in the river. At the same time, a monster is still coming after the urn as well. As the title of the episode reveals, it is a mummy as well as a whole lot of locusts. If a mummy wasn’t enough to deal with, Lizzie has abandoned the whole trying to be nice experiment. So, she is back to hating Hope. This episode is for ruining past spring breaks as well. Legacies is really pushing this idea of Alaric being the only adult role model in Hope’s life now that her parents are gone. So, this episode will likely reveal that Hope spent almost every spring break with Alaric. The problem is that this flies in the face of the relationships that Hope built with the rest of her family in The Originals. As much as Legacies is pushing the importance of Klaus in Hope’s life, the other Mikaelsons are all important to Hope’s life. In season 5 of The Originals, Freya showed up at school to check on Hope and it was clear she would go home frequently to spend time with her family. Freya is the one who was there to teach Hope how to control the powerful Mikaelson magic. It makes no sense that in 11 episodes of Legacies, Hope wouldn’t mention any of her aunts and uncles at least once. And seeing as Freya, Kol and Rebekah are all over 1000 years old, wouldn’t it make sense to ask them if they know anything about Malivore? They don’t even need to appear on screen, just a line acknowledging their existence. Hope saying something about why she isn’t going to New Orleans to see Freya and Keelin over break would be nice. Multiple characters from The Vampire Diaries have gotten quick updates on what they are up to now. It would be nice if the characters from The Originals could get the same treatment, especially seeing as they are the relatives of the main character of Legacies. Here are the details on where to watch Legacies season 1, episode 12 both on TV and online.
