Just now saw the episode. HOLY FREAKING CRAP! SO MANY ANSWERS!!!

Alright, so we start off with Finnwich in his lair testing some sheet music, that has some relation with Nigma's glasses. So apparently by putting the glasses on someone, and playing the music in the right key, it can resurrect those who were put into a coma by the light during the eclipse. In other words, LYNCH IS BACK!!

Next, we get Cassandra with His Eminence (whom we FINALLY see in complete character). Apparently, he was from the Pyramid, back when Nigma had first opened it a century ago. We also get to see flashbacks to this era, with younger Finnwich, Man, Wurst, and Ping. The fact that Lee's father (possibly) was there during the first eclipse, definitely raises some more questions as to Ping's importance to MWF. The fact that His Eminence marked them though definitely makes you wonder if the current Mann, Wurst, and Finnwich are either clones, or people who have truly lived for over a century. This part by far though revealed the most answers. Definitely hoping for more answers though in the finale.

We also have Lee and gang breaking out of prison, which was great to see. The bits with Lee and Tina were really nice and refreshing to see, showing that Tina really does love Lee. Made me smile big actually. :D Holger's parts were obviously inconvenient timing, and his whole character was that bit of comic relief in a sense. The part at the end though made me stare at shock in awe, as Lynch reveals he needs them back, not only because of Finnwich, but because Lee's REAL mom is there!

Finally, we also have Cam and Brandy working on the pyramid. That was more heavily side plot than anything (which was nice, I liked that it didn't consume most of the episode like Game of Clones had). The little battle of the brains though was pretty funny, good way to get an argument started by saying what came first, the chicken or the egg. There was also Cam's constant thought about Brandy kissing him from the previous episode, but other than that the episode went nice and smoothly.

In summary, I was far from disappointed this episode. The side plot had just enough airtime to not make it irrelevant or overbearing, and we received lots of answers, which was great. The fluff between Lee and Tina was perfect, though I still would've preferred they'd kissed at some point. In total, the episode revealed lots, but also left us wanting for more. I'm TOTALLY PSYCHED for next weeks episode! Although it is the finale, let's hope they make a spinoff series! :D
