The stop-motion dance, it might seem disturbing with how the rest of the animation is, but I'd like to think it's symbolic of how Ekko wants to savor every last frame of that moment with Powder. He's own "what could've been".

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

That’s a beautiful way of perceiving it and definitely agree. He’s got that last chance to enjoy her company before heading back.

I didn't expect to burst into tears for Jayce's experience. Imagine getting sent to a horrible future - I mean, hello, the imagery!! Looked like he was all alone, surrounded by these horrible creatures who once were human, frozen in creepy positions. The surroundings, the streets etc destroyed and completely ruined, then falling into a deep dark pit with a broken leg, having to stay down there for god knows how long being forced to eat toxic stuff to stay alive. He must have felt terrified, so utterly alone and helpless, especially with a broken leg. Jesus, Jayce really got the worst end of the stick, like you guys said. What a horrible future to witness.

[@discoboi3275]

Jinx Had a lot of Hex-Crystals because in that version of the universe, Vi dies because of the initial Hex-Crystal explosion in Season 1. Powder never touches the crystals ever again after storing it as a memento of Vi. Powder then puts Ekko's gift inside the drawer as a memento too with the crystals signifying that the Ekko that gave her the necklace is dead(in that universe).

[@filiptervald4932]

Needed this explanation!

[@Davinki651]

What's also sweet in retrospect is that Powder could've helped Ekko faster by just giving him those crystals, but decided to build the machine with the broken shards to spend more time with him

[@spindarasta5017]

My favorite episode of all. While everything's collapsing and getting heavy, the dancing scene make me feel like I can breath for a moment. It feels like you're stucked in the traffic for hours and you finally made it home. You stay in your car, take a 5 minute break before going back in the house. The guys behind Arcane are genius

This is my favorite episode from Act 3. I'm sad to say I was unhappy where it went from here. Aside from that: Girlfriend-Material Jinx, and Bluegrass Heimerdinger made this episode iconic. edit: I just didnt like the ending, it was a bit lackluster, it wrapped up to fast.But I still loved everything that built up to it. I love this series.

This episode was the literal definition of bittersweet to me

[@killka123]

I am so happy with how amazing this act 3 has been, i am just confused by some online reception saying pacing and motivations have been hard to follow when this episode and the start of 8 explains why everyone is doing everything.

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

The pacing criticism is valid, we only truly had that issue with the final episode but perhaps it’s due to the overall pace of act 3. That being said they wrapped everything quite nicely and we thought this season was still a banger overall.

[@killka123]

Fair, I just noticed I was vague, and meant that Act 3 pacing felt fine especially episode 7/8. Act 1 and 2 were jarring​ at first as everything technically made sense, and they gave subetly hints at motivational changes and time gaps, but it didn't give you enough time to sink it in until a rewatch. Episode 9 didn't feel too rushed for me either. Unsure why. Everything kind of just fit into a place writing wise for me. @OfficialMediaKnights

[@Quoos_]

last 3 episodes are definition of perfection ABSOLUTE CINEMA

[@Ary-Jay03]

This episode (Plus Paint the Town Blue) was by far my favourites of this season! It's a shame that the only care and chemistry Ekko receives is in an alternate universe, however. I wish he got closure at the end of the finale, other than his pain.

[@RoqueTSK]

Ekko was in a universe where Hextech didn't got introduced to the underground, therefore nothing after episode 1 happened... Jayce ended in a universe where Hextech got used and totally took over the world.... In this two visions, we can understand why Jayce did what he did to Vitkor in S2 E6, he knew what the world would become...

correct me if I'm wrong but it seems like the kid in the wheelchair at 11:43 applauding heimerdinger is the one who almost got killed by Jayce and led him to viktor in episode 6

[@nexx3351]

2 details I saw mentioned elsewhere: - In the alternate reality, Hextech was never invented either because Jayce saw someone die due to the crystals and gave up on it or he did go through with his suicide because of the difference that Vi dying made. - Heimmerdinger is very likely still alive! As far as I know his species, the Yordels, are sort of like spirits who can manifest a body but they are still spirits so he will probably just respawn eventually (I think). Also seeing the universe where Vi is dead made me feel really weird, I cant seem to put my hand on what feeling it is.

[@NoctilucaBloom]

Powder doesn't have hextech, she has the crystals she stole from the lab. They are what killed vi, but since it was the last thing they did together, she perhaps sees them as a memento. She understood that the Ekko she spent time with and who gave her the gift was a different one. So she puts his gift in the drawer as another memento from someone who is gone. Edit: I personally hold the opposite opinion about the bridge fight. Before that, we saw Ekko try to convince Vi that there was nothing of Powder left in Jinx, that her sister was completely gone. But ekko saw a glimpse of the girl he used to know at the end of that bridge scene, which is why he hesitated. And then jinx tried to not only blow him up but blow herself up, too. I doubt he had the space to puzzle through all his complex emotions regarding the whole thing.

[@CoyCaughy]

At the very end, I believe the hex crystals is for Powder remembering Vi and the other piece is what Ekko gave her so that's her way of remembering that version of Ekko now that he is gone.

[@Jaegerist7]

powder having all that shards means this universe didn't evolve in hextech because she kept all the prototype versions that jayce and viktor created with her (after that robbery)

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

Could she feel tempted to recreate Ekko’s machine though? That last shot of her reminiscing and thinking about Vi towards the end left it kind of open to interpretation.

[@severedproxy]

Extra fact about the hex crystals in powder’s drawer. The reason their universe never discovered hextech is due to powder hiding it from everyone. Good job powder you created the HE (Happy Ending) Universe.

[@YukoraDeavon]

Powder understood with the incident that it's a dangerous power to ever use, so she limits herself to a bubble and never risks inventing their by changing the cycle.

[@stegosnoreus6902]

I think the end shot of Powder having the hextech in storage is indicative of the choice that allowed this universe to flourish. Don't think we need to worry about her using it! ^_^

[@Jero87_CM]

Powder from the alternate universe is just keeping the hex cores as a reminder of vi she’s not planning on using them. Also it means the reason hextech never became a reality in this dimension is because of her, since she’s been holding onto the crystals.

[@OompaLoompa211]

the ekko x powder was so much more heart breaking when you take a moment to realise; This is what the original ekko and powder COULD have been if all the events that transpired in ekkos timeline, never actually happened. If they grew up together, without any hindrances. Based on the "building" montage, we can assume he was with her for at least a few months...I felt bad for him. Dude finally got to see what Jinx could've become had she not become Jinx and my boy fell for her...Just to have to leave her in the end. I really hope act 3 gives us a more in depth look to the ekko x powder/jinx relationship.

[@johnbuster4268]

9:55 IS HEIMERDINGER SINGING???

[@Sinvare]

Love how they leave it vague if Jayce/Victor or Ekko/Jinx are the better hex-tech inventors. Because In one universe, Heimerdinger didn't help Victor/Jayce from the start and hex-tech is imperfect. But that same Heimerdinger with knowledge from that first universe helped Ekko/Jinx make a perfect a version in another dimension. The only perfected lossless hexcore can never be made the same way again. Too many variables to say which pair were better. And Jinx's white dress, for their "First" time dancing.

This was the best episode of s2 for me I feel salty we didn't get a full arc with Ekko as the main lead. There was a very compelling story to be told here with Ekko. He could have been the one to invent Hextech in that universe and then be stuck with the choice of staying there happy with the people he has lost or going back to save the people he left behind. I really enjoyed s2 I still think it's really good like 7-8/10 good but there were a lot of rushed storylines. All the puzzle pieces don't quite fit together as well as s1 did it felt undercooked it just needed more time in the oven. I hope they really lock in and make it proper if they continue with other regions.
