“One Day You Will Understand” offers a glimpse into the past of Cleo (Omono Okojie) to help explain her recent actions while Landon (Aria Shahghasemi) clues Hope (Danielle Rose Russell) into what he’s been up to since his death and return from Malivore and the prison world, and Josie (Kaylee Bryant) offers Finch (Courtney Bandeko) a tour of the school. The result of the three stories will add a new student to the Salvatore Boarding School for the Young & Gifted while two other characters will make their leave searching for ways to destroy Malivore.

“I Was Made to Love You” confirms a couple of suspicions that the Landon (Aria Shahghasemi) who returned isn’t the real one, and is in fact made of Malivore mud, and the mysterious shaman/hunter is actually Hope‘s (Danielle Rose Russell) boyfriend. While I didn’t expect Cleo (Omono Okojie) to be responsible for the Landon golem, there were plenty of clues from this season about there being much more going on with the character than what we’d seen up until this point (and the callback to Hope’s bust was a nice touch). Looks like next week will be reserved for answers concerning these revelations (and maybe, finally, the conclusion to the end of the Malivore storyline?), meaning other lingering threads needed to be taken care of here in the various B-stories which turn out mostly well.

The arrival of a Banshee (Elinor Gunn) confirms Hope‘s (Danielle Rose Russell) suspicion that the monsters from Malivore aren’t after Landon (Aria Shahghasemi) this time around. They want Cleo (Omono Okojie) whose abilities as a Muse Malivore covets as a means to breaking out of the prison world. The episode also marks Hope’s first encounter with the mysterious shaman/hunter who kidnaps Cleo once she leaves the school while attempting to protect the others. Cleo’s selfishness helps cement her role as part of the Super Squad while the nature of her abilities helps explain the nagging mystery about her character which is finally revealed. Hope’s familiarity with the hunter also suggests his identity is known to the group (even if it has yet to be reavealed).

• Title: Legacies – Yup, It’s a Leprechaun, All Right / Long Time, No See

The two latest episodes of Legacies play on the season’s two big themes to this point: attempting to save the Salvatore Boarding School from closing down and the loss of Landon (Aria Shahghasemi). The introduction of the Leprechaun in “Yup, It’s a Leprechaun, All Right” offers some zany fun as Lizzie (Jenny Boyd) decides to use the creature’s ability to attract wealth (along with greed and madness) to try and make the money necessary to save the school in a day of fundraising that, of course, gets out of hand. The arrival of a Malivore monster also has an affect on Hope (Danielle Rose Russell) who realizes she may have a way to reach Landon after all. Hope’s recklessness, and the reveal of MG‘s (Quincy Fouse) betrayal (which I’m still struggling to understand?) make up most of “Long Time, No See” as Hope risks everything, even her friends, in another dangerous search for Landon.

• Title: Legacies – To Whom it May Concern
• wiki: link

As Landon (Aria Shahghasemi) begins his journey back to the land of the living, which includes a run-in with the Necromancer (Ben Geurens) inside Malivore, the rest the students have attempted to move on with their lives. Josie (Kaylee Bryant) continues her experiment of attending Mystic Falls High not realizing how much trouble the Salvatore Boarding School for the Young & Gifted is in trouble by bleeding students following their latest life-and-death battle. In order to keep a large enough student body, they need at least two of the skeptical prospective students to sign-on for the new semester. The sets of the school certainly look empty without the extras moving about, as do those of Josie at Mystic Falls High as the script keeps her from large gatherings which would be problematic during COVID shooting (although the disease itself is never mentioned).
