• I did not see the Audrey reveal coming at all. I was disappointed by Lexie just stepping out of the way during the confrontation, though the Lexie/Nathan talk afterward helped, but the knowledge that it was Audrey made that all better.
Still I'm not sure how I feel about Lexie really being Audrey. Audrey played her really well which makes me wonder. How did Audrey know what Lexie was like? No one in Haven would know so she could have played Lexie however she wanted but we, the audience, know Lexie and everything Audrey-as-Lexie did was completely in line with what the Lexie we've seen would have done. So does Audrey remember being Lexie? I wonder if this could be leading to Audrey remembering all her lives and her becoming not just 'Audrey' again but rather the sum of all of her lives.
Actually that could really work for me because it would make more sense to me that Lexie would most want to be 'who she really is', and thus a combination of all her live maybe, rather than specifically picking Audrey when she made the jump.
• I did love that despite the confusion of what was happening Audrey immediately came up with a plan to buy herself time and then executed it perfectly. Oh, and Duke with his by the seat of the pants plan to save Nathan and buy time was also great. Man, Nathan is so lucky that he has two really competent people who love him to compensate for his angsty flailing around.
• The last scene was wonderful. I love that it was Duke who figured out that Lexie was actually Audrey. I loved that Audrey didn't continue to try to lie to him. I loved the hug.
• "Okay listen up you lunatics. Move a muscle and lose your head." - Lexie ♥
• If the barn is completely gone what happened to James? Was he dumped back on Earth like Duke? In which case he's slowly dying. Did he die or cease to exist with the barn? Is he caught in between worlds, in a new barn, in the other world? I really hope this gets answered. More importantly I really hope that we get Nathan or Audrey actually worrying about this.
• I loved Lexie and Jennifer just standing around going "??" as chaos erupted around them. LOL. I'm really hoping that we get an interesting Lexie/Jennifer relationship this season because I want to know more about their connection. Also Audrey really needs a girl friend who doesn't leave/die.
• Duke's grin when Lexie tried to say Nathan's last name was adorable. Same with his thumbs up to Nathan after she left.
• "Lexie needs to kill the man she loves." - Dwight. Man? Why couldn't it be a woman? Also we know that it doesn't have to be romantic love - see Lucy/James - it just has to be the person she loves best. Actually this is why their preoccupation with Nathan is a bit dumb. It doesn't have to be him. It could literally be anyone.
• I noticed that on Dwight's board he only had Sarah, Lucy and Audrey up there. Does that mean that Sarah really was the first? That's not really the impression I got and it'd make me disappointed if it were true.
• Jordan's theory is actually pretty cool. I never considered that the Troubles could be caused by Lexie/Audrey, that they were her Troubles. That said it is just a theory with nothing to back it up and they basically have one shot with it. If they're wrong then she's gone and the Troubles are there to stay permanently. That is a hell of a risk and I don't know that I buy Jordan willing to go that far yet regardless of how desperate she is.
• I wish the show would explore the Jordan/Dwight relationship more because it's clear they have a past and I really like their interactions.
• "I can be spontaneous." - Jennifer. Oh, Jennifer, honey. Ouch. I didn't realise that she was into him that much. I knew she liked him but being willing to just run away with him with only the clothes on her back is a whole other level of liking. I'm actually feeling really sad for her despite the ending because while I do think Duke likes her he a) doesn't like her as much as she likes him, and b) more importantly, he is really not over Audrey. I think this is going to end in tears for her and I like her so that's going to suck. (Unless the show really is going the Nathan/Audrey OTP route and are setting up a Duke endgame romance. Good for Jennifer but it makes me frowny-face. OT3 forever!)
• I haven't really said anything about Wade in my reviews because I don't really care about him but it looks like he is going to have a purpose.
• Jordan wearing gloves doesn't really work that well if she has completely bare arms, yeesh.
