I didn't find it offensive. Have you ever been to a tent revival? From snakes to speaking in tongues to just fundamentalists casting out satan and sins and let's not forget the healings too. That didn't happen here. They move around city to city and are outliers. It's a very different type of preaching etc. I found it again, not offensive at all. Yes, he took from them (money) and yet (his wesen was not known to be violent) and he wasn't) he wanted to give them hope. And in so many ways those that flocked to him (and worked for him) no longer were the bad shells of themselves. People find hope and salvation in different ways. The main point I took from it was the hope. Nothing else about the sermon or devil lizard looking wesen - nothing. The gold coins - all of it. I got what they were doing and saying but again, I felt they were trying to push hope. Especially when weighed with with the reading of the two words on the stick: miracle/miraculous to hazardous/perilous ... I was sad that the wesen died though but at the end he wanted her to think/believe she had "healed him and once and for all driven the devil out of him" and just because they were all arrested/rounded up for what they did doesn't mean they were prosecuted or that it stuck all of that. They were each responsible for his death though for what they did to him (hot knife type iron rods driven into him) caused his death. Each had a part in that and those that didn't were present and accessories to it as they were all in on it and all it would have taken was for one to call the police and say this is what they are planning or what is going to go down (the one that worked for the wesen hung himself as he couldn't live with the guilt of what he did) - and we hear about or see on tv/read in books about false prophets almost daily (not just in Christianity and tent fundamentalist type preachers but those that have their own interpretation of the Book of Mormon etc) - but I don't want a theology debate as again, I think they were trying to push hope (especially considering what the stick may or may not be and then what the cloth/shroud words they were able to see may be) ... if you have don't have hope you have nothing I guess?
The scene with Evenard was hilarious! Called it and loved it! Sasha did a great job - I agree with other posters on that and I giggled throughout.
Also, to me the Spice Shop scene was two or even three-fold. Not all had met "Eve" yet. This was to solidify that to them and because as someone else said she (Eve) needs to read them to see their reaction(s) as well in order to gauge something. Plus, who all was there? Just the regular scoobs no Adalind. Wu is hit and miss as he's a busy guy back at the precinct and having some issues as we'll be seeing soon.
And, I wrote on another post that I had said when Eve first toked on that hat to see if she could turn in Evenard that it hurt. And that she FELT it and I think that is what is important. She did feel it. Like big time. What did that stir in her? Lots of feels I think. She's been without emotion - yet when she told them she wasn't turning into Adalind but into Renard her expression changed - she actually had a glimmer of a smile/smirk and her eyes twinkled. It was like she went there to tell them and get their reaction as she wanted to share with them that and she enjoyed it and it was funny (I rewound it a couple times watching that expression lol) then off she goes on her merry way. Leaving them freaked out HAHA besides that it would have been the perfect time time for RoRoe to go Oh man the hat is it here? did she come take the hat? holy blutaden fuschbau heck ROFL, yep, it's missing or something and maybe they did who knows but it was lighthearted banter in a way more of a back and forth conversation that hasn't exactly been happening of late.
Fast forward all that to the end and them showing what to expect for next episode and you get where I asked after the previous episode if perhaps it might be Eve that tips her hand to Nick about Adalind and her biest returning. And it seems that is what is going to happen/take place. Them sitting there and her asking Nick if he has noticed "any changes" in Adalind ... then you see her face-to-face with Adalind telling her in a no-nonsense way: you hurt Nick and I will come for you. Sure, he's an asset for HW but I think it's more than that. I think those feels have done something to Eve. Whereby it could bring about what she went through when HW/Meisner created Eve and who knows beat her into submission or whatever she endured at his hands and more? ... to realizing she no longer has hate for him and it seems perhaps he may not either. All this will build up to a crescendo for and in the finale. Will Eve sacrifice herself to save Nick? Will Nick do the same for her? Will this put them back into what they were at one time before she was a biest and the stick comes into play? or what? and how does all that fit and how exactly will the finale end and when all fades to black and leaves us with this HUGE cliffhanger that Sasha Roiz has said is going to happen - how will that all come about and be used for the upcoming (and possibly last) Season 6?
Annnnnd we get to see in the finale the badass full zauberbiest - we meet him before the finale but we get to really see what a full-blooded zauberbiest is all about in the finale (per Sasha Roiz on the podcast interview) LOL I for one am looking forward to all the upcoming episodes and really enjoyed the brief and comical moment of Evenard and loved the "after" shot of Rachel and Evenard laying in bed with him saying "this has never happened" to the sheets being pulled up and held over his chest to Rachel's woge and almost hearing that big gulp from Evenard ROFL it was all tongue-in-cheek and a moment of hahaha for all the intensity of what is going to be taking place over the next few episodes *dundundun* cannot wait!
