Oh wow this was a standout 10/10 episode. It was great to finally get Grace’s full side of the story. Sadly her story was tragic. Grace was one who had tons of curiosity. For her want to explore the human world. You can tell the bond between Grace and Rigmor was so tight. It is established the princess’s light and finding true love. Kind of shows that Rigmor loved Rowan.
Interesting to see Grace finding love on the surface and how it parrellels to Lara. Since Grace is a princess too eating the human soul is supposed to give the princess light, but what happens to Grace doesn’t seem like that. It’s like when she ate the soul of that human she fell in love with it; it corrupted her. It does feel the princess’s power giving light can only happen when finding true love. Which is why Grace panicked like she did when it seemed Lara was on the verge of killing Luca.
This does establish a lot of Grace’s actions. She wanted to see if Lara could prove her and her mother right. Mermaids living on the surface with humans is being possible. What really pushed her forward was that in her first attempt Lara did not kill, but rather killed herself.
One thing of love that is being shown is how Grace and Lara can tackle the feeling of being rejected. Lara was able to point the suffering of it at herself and not harm her first prince. While for Grace she couldn’t handle the rejection leading her to kill the human she fell in love with.
You can tell that Rigmor loved her sister. She risked her own life for her sister who was on the verge of accepting her death. It does make sense why Rowan hates humans as much as he does. He clearly blames Grace for Rigmor’s death. Ultimately his hatred stole his kindness you could say. Which is similar to how Lisa is because both are too focused on the princess’s light.
Very excited to see how this can wrap up because it feels like they can nail the ending here.
