I think either option could be very well-written, but let’s actually get Hannah back on screen first. Like with Amanda, we’ve seen so little of Hannah that it’s hard to engage. Is this a red herring or has she been secretly evil this entire time? I honestly have no idea.

Second, the monster had to be released from said lair, and Hannah appears to be the one who let it out. First, the lair of the paranormal entity acting as the second Frozen Hearts Killer is inside the historical society. Still, I think Nace would stand just as strong with Ace and Amanda simply realizing they aren’t meant to be. She is portrayed somewhat sympathetically and I’m happy that this is more complex than the trope of blindly tearing down characters who stand in the way of popular ships.

We must accept first Amanda refusing to turn in her father to help Ace, then her wanting Bertram to turn himself in, then her supposed shock over Ace following her, and finally the idea that she’s relieved her dad is locked up, but she’ll still end things with Ace over it.

It’s the first episode we’ve seen her in since last season, and the writing’s on the wall the whole time, closing in a breakup we’ve long expected. The more significant development of his testimony against Bertram is the way it draws his relationship with Amanda to a close. They act like the fight is water under the bridge and he’s even invited home, but there’s a new and unhappy tension in their scenes. As expected, we see the fractures left by his father kicking him out of the house. Meanwhile, Ace’s largely independent storyline for this episode puts him through the wringer. It’s a good way to keep us engaged, and seeing great character interactions along the way just makes it better. As our main mystery of the season, this is a story that hands us a few pieces at a time. I’m not sure yet what to make of the being’s treasured doll or willingness to let them go.

The more serious moments in which they talk about Lucy and Nancy’s own childhood are lovely, too.

She’s been the catalyst for all the change we’ve seen him achieve over these seasons, and his eagerness to follow her even into the depths of a monster’s lair shows that. The episode is also a treat for those who’ve been wanting to see more of Nancy and Ryan as daughter and father.
But we’re finally following the track that makes the most sense for this group who has done so much-the one in which they never give up.

No. Nancy Drew - “The Myth of the Ensnared Hunter” - Pictured: Leah Lewis as George - Photo: Robert Falconer/The CW - © 2021 The CW Network, LLC. Most of all, through, it’s a relief to see George find hope again and let it spur her willingness to fight for her life. There are several highlights, including George and Bess teaming up excellently and George and Nick talking out their slightly forced argument. Said search doesn’t make much headway in this hour, but it sets up an ongoing plot we can root for. I’m happy to report that Nancy Drew Season 3 Episode 6, “The Myth of the Ensnared Hunter,” at last breaks that cycle.Īided by Bess, George sets out to search for a tool called a “soul splitter”, the first real lead we’ve gotten yet that we won’t accept her following Odette to an early grave. Ever since we learned of George’s reduced life expectancy, I’ve been frustrated by the repeated tendency to accept the side effects of her possession.
