I really love that we got a little mini heist movie. I love heist movies in general, and incorporating all the magical elements really made it feel like a fresh take. It was also a great way of explaining the library's political relationships and the new magical economy without it feeling like a boring exposition dump.

I'm still waiting impatiently for the show to explain why Cassandra looks like Alice and I'm really hoping we get some hints on that in the next episode.

I like the heist part too! It was honestly so fun and I like them all working together. What I didn't like was Quentin being hit by all that bad luck.

Awww he made such a cute woobie tho. Nobody's better at looking like they need a hug than Jason Ralph.

He does look adorable! Which puts me into an endless "I want to protect him and see him grow up strong" cycle.
