[@ChesterZirawin]

@@abdonagy612 No. Since Vi died due to the hextech explosion (In the heist, and Poweder still has the remaining gems that didn't explode) it would mean that Jayce was still saved, he did create Hextech, but what's unsure is if he potentially also died in the explosion along with Vi (would also explain why Jayce wasn't sent to this reality).

You think that's brutal, the song they dance to ("Ma Meilleure Ennemi") is a duet between two people who are terrible/perfect for each other.

Honestly it's writers who owe him an apology: In episode 1 of the season we see Piltover builds a statue dedicated to the three incompetent council members who died in a terrorist attack but what does Jayce get for sacrificing himself to save the planet? His mom puts a piece of paper in a basket to be burned... no scene of Mel or Cait mourning him and no statue/plaque.

Eh, still feel Jayce took the wrong path yet again. But that takes into account info not yet shown.

[@CapitanDePlai]

@@Ejay669 Viktor and Jayce can't be dead.

[@Ticking-time-bomb]

Here’s things left up to viewers to put together…. VI’s death is the cataclysm to having Piltover and Zaun unite…Vi dying made it so that Jayce projects never took off due to it already having casualties before it even got to testing phase, Victor couldn’t endorse hextech bcz he was all about helping ppl & it killing a kid went against his beliefs… Powder kept the crystals as a reminder of Vi leading to Jayce never getting the opportunity to try creating it himself…+ he ends up most likely committing suicide since Victor this time around wasn’t present to stop him (hence why he could not be teleported in the same timeline as Ekko & Heimer)… VI’s death brought Silco & Vandor back together as both have failed to uphold their promise to VI’s mom, As both Vi & her mom died so their reason to fix Zaun quickly was shattered which most likely brought the two (Silco/Vandor) together to mourn VI’s death and Vandor most likely said what he tried to convey in the letter directly to Silco…they had to forgive each other to maintain the promise they made to VI’s mom by protecting Powder… Due to a child dying from Piltover invention the old sheriff who worked with Vandor probably put in a case that Mel & Caitlyn’s mom agreed upon along with Heimer to end the senseless hate and all assume their involvement in this hate, having them all take responsibility as adult to give the kids a better future. Vi was a worthy Sacrifice just like she wanted to be. The Symbol of Zaun & Piltover in that timeline 😢

[@martinw2235]

I thought about how Jayce probably did commit suicide in that timeline, but I hadn't thought about how that's why he didn't go to that timeline in ep3. I also hadn't thought about Vander and Silco's promise to Powder's mom and that being the reason they reconnect. Good stuff!

[@JarrenBlake]

Another thing is that without Jayve Heimer was likely still head of the council. With what he has lived and learn he would have been in position to do a lot of the above good in 3 years.

[@yaniscombes7461]

I really like your theory !

[@0Annou0]

Silco also probably read Vander's letter.

[@Kunoichi4ever4]

Similar idea, tho I assume Jayce gets prison or is exiled for this experiment as it claimed a life, which makes sure his and Viktor´s path never meet - which then results in them both basically dying - Jayce commits s*icide and Viktor dies of illness. At least this feels cleaner to me, as it aint like the initial blow up in episode 1 was harmless(Viktor does call Jayce and his work dangerous, rightfully so as the room is blown up) ... I do believe Viktor d be less inclined to help Jayce, but I d not bet an entire civilization on it, so to me it makes more sense that Jayce it locked up or exiled , prventing him from meeting Viktor and then ofc killing himself.

[@ChesterZirawin]

The song "What could have been" is all that was going through my head this entire episode. My heart breaks for Ekko the most. Others may have dreamed and thought about what could have been, but Ekko. He saw and lived it. He had the chance to stay in a better world, yet he had the strength to let it go.

The hextech stones powder has hidden away in the drawer at the end indicates that she is the reason hextech was never invented. That universe is thriving because no one ever got their hands on the gemstones after the accident because powder hid them away.

[@SleepySloth2705]

Also begs to question wether or not hextech will inevitable be a thing in that timeline after all

[@EragoTheOne]

also jayce prolly got full exiled (prolly cause someone died) lol cause there were other crystals he just either gave up or never got the chance to work on it.

[@MariaKryvohub]

It's a sweet idea, but I'm afraid it doesn't make sense. In our canon universe Powder took gemstones from Jayce too, and they never got returned to him all the same. Yet he just continued, because he obviously has some source where he took them from. I think the point is Vi's death. With a child dead because of his experiment, council would probably not forgive him and banish him after all. More importantly, it would be a big mental hit on Jayce even if he wasn't banished (he probably was, or jailed, as his flat isn't fixed), because he would strongly regret meddling with hextech and stop. Why were gemstones shown to us?.. Well, it's either implying that all can still go bad in that universe (Powder has gemstones, everyone tells her to realize her potential and do inventions the whole episode, and she already knows how to work with hextech thanks to their escapade with Ekko), or it's a sly wink to us that it's better this way, because Ekko shouldn't take too much to not overdo it like Jayce and Vikor did. That it's a good thing that he could manage with just a shards - just enough to to do a little change and not destroy the world. Or maybe it is indeed about Jinx being a reason that this world is alright, but in a way that yes - she could work with them, but she chooses not to, which is a good decision on her part.

[@daviddastoli3926]

@@EragoTheOne I agree, with Jayce gone and the stones gone, and Viktor plus the council likely being less on board. It all contributed

[@laylahzs]

I think hextech was never invented because Viktor did not support Jayce after seeing a child die because of his research, and then after being pardoned by the council, Jayce yeeted himself from that building, since Viktor had no interest on him, there wasn't anyone to prevent him from yeeting himself.

I think we all needed this after what our characters have been through. It was bittersweet of course - it's Arcane after all - so we know Ekko can't stay, and we end up losing Heimer in the process. But still, I needed this palette cleanser of Ekko and Powder just being happy for a little bit. And now we know Powder is out there somewhere being happy, no matter what happens to Jinx.

Then S2A2 rolls around and the crowd is angry at him again, but it really never stuck for me. There had to be a reason he attacked the second most important person to him (after his mother), and we finally got the answer.

[@kirishima.rn03]

I’m literally crying when I heard Ange’s cover of Isha’s song

[@nullunit]

Holy crap, that guitar cover was fantastic! The focus on the little drawer on Vi's shrine was to point out that Powder kept the hex crystals from her reality's accident. It also sort of implies that their Jayce either died in or was exiled after the explosion since no one pushed forward with development of hextech. No Jayce and Viktor team up, no hextech. On top of that, this Powder was wise enough to let Ekko just use the shards he found when she could have given him a wholly intact crystal. This is a Powder who is profoundly different and much wiser. This episode has some of the best subtext on how events have/could change the trajectory of a characters whole existence. It is also the first time I saw them address the fact that if Ekko hadn't give Vi that tip, then none of the terrible events of this series would have happened. Not that it is fault but that little flap of the butterfly's wings did start a tsunami which is threatening his whole reality.

[@bLuGhOsT_]

Possibly my favourite episode of the entire series, this was just perfect in every way 😊

[@Blackbeard069]

That last scene shows that the reason they got to live like that is because Powder/Jinx kept and hid the stones used for Hex Tech, therefore it was never "invented". That's why she is told twice "what would they do without you?". She might have known all along what those stones could do yet decided to hide them and never use them.

[@_Sevren_]

Lmao she ain’t omnipotent. The stone prob killed Vi and she instead decided to just keep them, then use them

[@Morbacounet]

I really really really love what the writers did with episode 7. I was afraid they would "save" Jinx with Ekko's love or something like that. But they didn't. Ekko could have the "good ending" but decided he needed to go forward and give up any hope she could be normal again. It's sad but so beautiful. I also like the implication that the sisters' relationship is cursed and that Powder is happy because Vi died, breaking the curse.

[@TheJerbol]

The ending implies that since Jinx has all the hexcrystals she will eventually invent hextech in that universe. That's my interpretation

[@JagdWehrwolf]

And yet she stored them away for years as a memento of Vi's death. Just as she has done with the pendant given by 'guest' Ekko.

[@frankcayseron8637]

​@@JagdWehrwolf here is how i think it plays out. Ekko left, gets replaced with original ekko from that universe. Ekko is confused about changes in Powder and she tells Ekko everything that happened. They try to continue their lives as normal as possible considering what transpired (i mean for Ekko at least it cant be easy to just accept you were replaced for the short time by another version of you) but more time Powder spends with Ekko more she thinks about the research she did with our Ekko. With that constantly on her mind thanks to spending all the time with her Ekko and looking at the VI mural eventually Powder will start using her own gemstones to recreate the time traveling object in order to use it and save VI, leaving the gemstones behind. Since theres no explosion, Jayce continues his research behind council's back and hextech gets discovered anyway, railroading situation to the same outcome that ends with glorious evolution. THAT is where Jayce is during this episode. Because remember, Heimerdinger mentioned that they got separated across time as well and that he was waiting for Ekko roughly 3 to 4 years (you can do the math if you want but it was over 1000 days) so all 3 of them were in same universe just different time periods

[@devenandplants7253]

Because Powder kept the remaining stones, Jayce in that universe never had the chance to study it, hence Hex was never developed. Powder singlehandedly and unknowingly stopped doom in that universe.

[@craz3m4n101]

I think that last shot of her collecting things explains why everything is different in that time line. She kept the hex tech gems as a reminder to what could go wrong if they kept on with living the way they were. because of the dark life of crime vi died. if you remember in the episode everyone keeps saying "what would you do with out her?" or "what would they do with out her" because of her sisters death she's the glue to everyone in that timeline she keeps everyone on the straight arrow, Vander and Silco make up because of her, her childhood friends take a path of professions and hard work, she falls in love with ekko and inspires him to become an inventor, and so benzo becomes a light hearted trinket shop owner instead of a shady dealer, and the undercity is better because of her because she kept the hex gems so hex tech was never created and the last scene her hiding ekko primes gift to her shows she understood he was from a timeline where everything went wrong she put together everything he was saying wasnt a dream it was a different timeline and so she keeps his gift hidden from her ekko as a reminder of not only the other ekko but as a reminder of their love and that she's made the right decisions in life. ultimately to me this shows that powder was never jinx. Jinx was a product of Vi constantly choosing her own desires over her sisters d constantly dragging powder into this quest of vengeance against the top side for her parents death even if she didint realize it. Vi was always the real Jinx and powder was always paying for her older sisters bad decisions.

[@ayron5766]

Sooooo ..., that's not gonna age well

[@connybengtsson9304]

The cover was beautiful! :D nice work!

[@oerwhat]

3:04 oh man...

[@janey8125]

Oh Ange, you got me bawling with your cover. That was amazing

[@ShockyI]

I dont know if anyone has mentioned this yet or not. But did you know, when Ekko and Powder dance, did you notice how they slowed the frame rate ? that scene is played at 4 frames per second.

[@kingkang18]

During Ekko and jinx's dance, the framerate was 4 frames a seconds. so he could only rewind 16 frames at a time. showing how he wants to remember each second

[@drhapi5308]

Oh, that cover. 😭❤

[@ThatGuyyy1]

Whoa! Good catch with Jinx being in the mirror's reflection at the start of the episode! Didn't catch that.

[@TheJerbol]

Heimer belting out a Bob Dylan-esque track was probably at the bottom of my bingo card

[@Evaeve-ip9mx]

The ekko and jinx dancing scene is one of the most beautiful scene❤❤.. perfectly done🛐..the amazing french music that goes along with the scene🙂‍↕️..I cannot get them and the song out of my head🫡

[@AllesssKlar]

Got insta goosebumps when the cover started, damn... beautiful

[@kyraheyden2521]

One reaction channel (I think it was cocoa couch) made the observation that violet constantly protects everyone else and yet the universe where everyone actually is protected and happy is the one that she doesn’t survive. Ever since I heard that I haven’t been able to get it out of my head

[@pedroloto]

Yo Carlie is so good with her predictions

[@tumbleweed5660]

15:55 Can you blame heimerdinger? Instead doing math, he was rizzing up the baddies in this universe 😂

[@julestakesit4723]

The riff was so good! Perfect intro :-)

[@JackDespero]

I love how simple symbology can be so effective. Jayce walking around the city that he (through his discovery) destroyed, seeing the faces of the people he basically m*rdered. And all the way, he is carrying his biggest sin on the back, his hammer, which is the one thing he promised he would never do, a Hextech weapon. He is basically carrying his cross, which is now extremely heavy, until he reaches the top of the city (or the mound, if you will), where first ask the Lord (the mage) why him? Why put him in this path? And then he accepts being sacrificed for the sins of hextech to save us all. Jayce is literally Jesus, but scruffier, sexier, a bit more feral.

[@Swifter31]

The flower on the pendant he gives Jinx means "An Unattainable Love" and now I'm off to cry in a corner kbye.

[@frankcayseron8637]

i just realized, the dance scene is slowed down to 4 fps to represent Ekko's ability to go back in time 4 seconds. Meaning he relived that scene over and over and over and over and over... every little bit of that scene. and then during the kiss when he says "can we pretend like its the first time". just how many first kisses with powder did he relive?

[@rmg480]

21:34 Not carlie trying to peek from the side 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@essammohamed1568]

Btw, one of the reasons Jayce wasn't dragged to the same parallel dimension, is because the Jayce there also died in that explosion. And that's why there is np Hextech inented

[@emubeatbox3733]

this episode gotta be my favorite episode of this whole act

[@rafaelcornelio562]

Holy crap that guitar intro!! you never miss Ange!!

[@scarlletnull2811]

I never thought I needed Ekko and Powder together until this episode. I also like how the scene was switched to different characters as if it’s a normal ep not some alternate timeline.

[@dadumwuu2520]

The cover is crazy~ Full goosebumps

[@MatheusSilva-cf4jw]

In league lore Yordles are a magical race that is immortal. When they die they just reappear on bandle city, their magical city. So its safe to assume that Heimerdinger is alive somewhere, we just dont know if he's on that timeline or the main one.

[@Bluewolfzer]

Ekko: What could have been Jayce: What should not be

[@nether_prince3021]

The yordles are ancient (?)magical creature. They are tied tightly to magic. I think I heard/read something about: When a Yordle died, they just respawn/recreated/reborn in Bundle city(bandle?)/ Yordle realm. So I think heimer is fine.

[@mattbrock7031]

Dude that guitar cover almost made me tear up. Good shit

[@romanpearce3736]

"-90% better" KILLED ME 😭
