This episode felt like a season one throwback, in the best sense, and it was highly enjoyable. This show is at its best when it centers the relationship between Wynonna and Waverly, something that has been lacking in season 4. Though the episode didn't advance the overall "season 4 villain threat," it was a really needed Earps-sisters focused episode.
The biggest fumble for this episode came at the end. Wynonna and Waverly are having a heart-to-heart, and Nicole interrupts right as Wynonna is about to open up about her struggles to Waverly. Nicole interrupts because she wants to make out with Waverly, and simply can't wait for...some reason. The beginning of this scene was so lovely, where the sisters are roasting marshmallows and Waverly is assuring Wynonna how much she means to her. But I hated the ending to this scene because Wynonna is clearly sad and struggling, yet both Waverly and Nicole don't notice the extent of her pain and are, in fact, rather insensitive to Wynonna's obvious sadness. It felt out of character for Waverly and Nicole.
Overall, this episode was very fun and spooky and I could see myself watching it every Halloween season. Loved the sister bonding, for the most part. 9/10
