Compared to The Vampire Diaries and The Originals, Legacies has done well so far to keep most of its cast. I do wonder how much longer this show can last before killing someone off. WHEN CAN WE EXPECT HOPE TO ACTIVATE HER VAMPIRE SIDE? I feel like Kaleb and Alaric (Matt Davies) are going to become quite the little team in this season.

It was nice that Kaleb got some character development. We got a glimpse of what kind of person he used to be. His brain repressed memories and now the real ones have coming flooding back. It is clear that he has gone through a lot but he is a lot stronger now. Lee gave off a good performance and I believed in his performance. To find out what happened in Kaleb’s (Chris Lee) past and how he ended up at the Salvatore school was interesting and unexpected. The only positive about Malivore still being the main bad guy is that Shahghasemi gets to give off some fabulous performances, but I’m sure the novelty will wear off after a couple of episodes. I do love his performance more as Malivore, than as Landon. It has to be said that Shahghasemi is fantastic at playing the bad guy. I’d love it if we could just get rid of this character asap and get a new villain for the rest of the season. I’m not sure how I feel about Malivore still being about. SHAHGHASEMI IS THE PERFECT BAD GUY IN LEGACIES SEASON 4 Also, this episode showed that both these characters have a lot of history with each other and should trust each other a bit more. These characters do bring out the best in each other. MG is such a soft and calm character that is works well against Hope who can be unpredictable. Seeing them together for so much of this episode was a joy and I hope we get more of this duo throughout the season. Russell and Fouse are both such good actors. What I really liked in this episode was watching Hope (Danielle Rose Russell) and MG (Quincy Fouse) bond. The mission in this episode is to get to Cleo (Omono Okojie) not Landon (Aria Shahghasemi). In this episode she gets hit with the truth of how all her friends see her: she is a liability. For three seasons now she has put everything and everyone behind Landon. We pick up on this episode with Hope’s loyalties being tested. THE MISSION IS TO FIND CLEO NOT LANDON – WILL HOPE CARRY THROUGH WITH THE PLAN?
