Nancy Drew has probably the most horrible luck with regards to love.


Her former boyfriend, Owen, was killed. Then Ace died throughout her hallucination after which fell beneath Temperance’s dying curse.


And now on Nancy Drew Season 4 Episode 10 Nancy shot Tristan with a crossbow and virtually killed him.

Helping Nancy - Nancy Drew


Oh, and we failed to say that Tristan is definitely a sin eater and, even with out the poison arrow, remains to be fated to die earlier than he is 30 years outdated.


To assume that Nancy was interested in the beautiful lobsterman as a result of she thought he was uncomplicated. The Universe positively has a sick humorousness.

Career Day - Nancy Drew


One of the one low factors of this installment was that there was far an excessive amount of Tristan. Yes, the man has the most lovable eyes I’ve ever seen, however he is not Ace, and I’m a diehard Nace shipper.


The extra time Tristan is round correlates on to the much less time Nancy and Ace have collectively. Hence, I intensely dislike Tristan Glass.


But apart from the overabundance of lobster boy, this episode was a fast-paced experience from starting to finish, with many of the Drew Crew working collectively.


I say most as a result of, as soon as once more, Ace spent his time away from the remainder of the group. It’s a pattern I’m actually starting to dislike.


At least Bess was there for him. I appreciated Bess reminding Ace about how shut she bought to Odette and the way that ended. Ace must be cautious with the connection he is fashioned with this stunning ghost.

And this ghost should have popped up for a purpose, however as of now, her connection to the remainder of the story is a thriller.


However, we did get some fantastic scenes between Nancy’s two dads as a panicked Ryan ran to Carson for assist on this Nancy Drew quote

Carson: Whose blood is that?
Ryan: Tristan Glass’. The lobster child. The son of my mortal enemies. Yes, he’s the Sin Eater. Nancy shot him within the woods with a poison arrow, and now he may die.
Carson: Hang on. You introduced our daughter to the woods with a bow and arrow?
Ryan: I imply, technically, it was a small crossbow and a few arrows, however the entire plan to kill a sin eater was within the works lengthy earlier than I got here alongside.
Carson: Would you cease saying sin eater, prefer it’s one thing that everybody says! We’ve bought actual issues right here, like how the Glasses hate you, which implies they hate our daughter by affiliation.


Carson’s plan to let the Glasses know what had occurred to their son was sound, however I nonetheless did not belief this couple even earlier than the twist on the finish.


Yes, you may clarify plenty of their habits away with their need to discover a method to save their son, however Bess was proper. They tried to kill her and Ryan, and there’s no excuse for that.

Bess Fights - Nancy Drew Season 4 Episode 10


Others have blacklisted the Glasses within the relic commerce as a result of they cannot be trusted.


In that vein, I used to be involved for Ryan as he searched the Yacht Club and that home with Shelby Glass. When they discovered that Tristan was going to outlive the poison, after which Ryan gave her the proper translation, I puzzled if she’d take Ryan out proper there as a result of she had no additional use for him.


But her precise plan could have been worse as she already believed Nancy to be the final sinner on the fountain. Shelby was planning to kill Ryan’s daughter.


Admittedly, it is each heartbreaking and extremely disturbing to think about Tristan as a bit of boy having to morph right into a sin eater. And figuring out that their son solely has a number of quick years left to reside has made his dad and mom determined, however that also would not excuse their willingness to kill anybody who will get of their method with out even searching for different choices.


But let’s depart the Glasses for a second and get again to Nancy.

Nick and Nancy Study - Nancy Drew Season 4 Episode 10


Nancy and Nick made an ideal crew as they labored collectively to avoid wasting Tristan. I’ve actually loved how their friendship has grown this season. If Ace is Bess’ platanchor, Nick could develop into Nancy’s.

Nick: Everyone is difficult.
Nancy: But I simply sort of hoped deep down that he was my ticket to a mature, drama-free relationship.
Nick: Yeah, however possibly there’s no such factor.


Despite what Nancy says, it looks like Nick is correct. Perhaps Nancy is much more interested in Tristan now that there are obstacles of their method. Nancy is at her greatest when she has one thing to battle for.


But if that is the case, why would not she put her effort and time into making an attempt to interrupt Temperance’s curse so she will be with Ace? I preserve remembering Nancy’s phrases from Nancy Drew Season 4 Episode 5

The factor is, when you may have one of the best kiss of your life, you do not simply surrender on an individual. Right?

Searching For Solutions - Nancy Drew Season 4 Episode 10


It nonetheless would not make sense to me that Nancy would let Temperance win or that she’d surrender on the love of her life and simply transfer on.


And I hate it much more, figuring out we now have so few episodes left earlier than the sequence ends.


And I’ve a number of extra questions I’d like answered about “The Ballad of Lives Foregone.”


  • Why have been all of the sins saved in such fairly bottles?


  • How is Nashua linked to Nancy? He claimed they’d walked this path earlier than, however they lived in several centuries. Could Temperance have one thing to do with this?

Nick Is Prepared - Nancy Drew Season 4 Episode 10


  • Was Nick proper? Is Nancy extra drawn to Tristan as a result of now she sees him as a thriller?


  • And what was up with the entire candles surrounding Nancy and Tristan on the finish? There’s a line between romantic lighting and a hearth hazard, and I believe they crossed it.


  • And will they let Ace out of the morgue so he might help save Nancy from the Glasses?
