Motherland: Fort Salem | After The Storm: Episode 7 | Freeform

[@brendonsmith3080]

Some points were made this episode. While Scylla was chained, she tried to point out the hypocrisy of interrogating her the same way witches have been tortured in the centuries. Adil also makes a strong point to Abigail that war has casualties and some gifts should not be used to avoid collateral damage in the long run. Still, watching Scylla and Raelle reunite was the most heartbreaking scene.

[@ameliasaleta5267]

Even if Scylla choices are questionable, we have to give her that she is committed to her beliefs, and that makes her badass. I love how Scylla even when chained up still isn't scared of Anacostia like THAT'S RAELLE GIRL. AND THEN: "I love you Raelle." "I love you." AHHHHHH

[@cecilianavarro3570]

It was shocking that Anacostia only "broke" Scylla's mind after she saw Raelle... I hope that Anacostia help her /them at some point... Ps, sorry for my english but I needed to share this, this episode was heartbreaking... Omg...

[@crashindashxx3231]

@@cecilianavarro3570 It was easy to get in her head by using Raelle because she is Scylla's weakness since she loves her. Yeah, that's what love does to you. Even if you are vengeful and in a grief, it can melt your heart and broke the wall that you built.

[@meg-xe3iq]

I can't wait to see how Scylla is going to be redeemed in this series. I have faith that she WILL be redeemed, and that she will eventually see that she is in the wrong and atone for her actions. However, I don't want her to be redeemed simply because of her relationship with Raelle. Love isn't what should redeem a person and allow them to atone for their mistakes. I can't wait to see where Eliot takes Scylla as a character!! Amazing acting by Amalia and Taylor in the dungeon. It absolutely broke my heart seeing them like that :(

Yeah. Maybe they’ll make her a spy?🤷🏻‍♀️ but from someone who doesn’t do shipping, I feel like the ability to love or being loved shouldn’t be a free pass from certain things. In real life or in fiction. IMO. But I guess personally, certain things, I just see it in black and white. Hopefully she does try to make up for it. For her own sake. Not just for Raelle.

[@torri4295]

The big question here is... is it wrong tho? What Scylla believes in make so much sense, the methods might be extremists but the reason? She has a good case

[@victoriaolsen2290]

I really like how they have done this 'after the storm' thing, it really helps to clarify, understand, or confirm what we just saw in the episodes. It's also a good way to see what the cast and creators envisioned for the episode and their understanding/ interpretation of their characters and the overall storyline development. I really hope this gets a second season, one of the best shows I have seen.

[@ericgaudet4497]

Amalia Holm did a great job in tonight Episode l could feel what she was going throw and I'm hoping there is something good in Scylla . Lyne Renee show how powerful of a General Alder can be.

[@camilalyon8387]

Amalia is a great actress!!, in every scene where it appears it captures your full attention immediately, also she is very beautiful

[@isabelairutrova4338]

Eliot has really put thought and time in this show. as a lesbian hearing him and amalia talk about lgbt feels so good. aside from the plot you have this place where heteronormative DOES NOT EXIST, therefore, love is not defined by gender and i love it... also Raylla ENDGAME

[@BadFluffy]

I absolutely love that there is no question about Raelle and Scylla from anyone. Absolutely nobody, including the people who hold and torture Scylla, is treating their relationship as different than any relationship. It's a rare thing and it's freeing

[@ccanete]

The kid actress that plays Khalida is just so badass and intimidating though. She seemed to tower over Alder in the indoor garden scene. I'm living for it

[@elisaren335]

whoever the casting directors are, i love you guys. and to taylor and amalia, i know they're not couple in real life maybe not even lesbians but their interpretation & connections in every scenes make me dare to accept love, despite what genders they are, love is love.

Tally and Raelle have special gifts,Alder is a power craving lunatic,anacostia is most likely not a bad person she’s just being manipulated by alder.

[@justindixon1586]

Agreed I mean she didn’t have to be alive for 300 years she chose to use biddies so she could control all the witches for generations and now she wants to force everyone to give up their songs, traditions and culture so she can obtain more power

[@surefiresiren6038]

@@justindixon1586 I'd say more influenced by alder because Adler thinks she is doing the 'right' thing

[@dd-pt9ex]

Cameron Dixon I also believe that alder created the spree because she doesn’t want to fight for the United States anymore but she signed the Salem accords therefore she is bound to fight for the U.S which is why she has the biddies because without the spree she would have no need to be in charge anymore let alone live anymore,so I agree with you alder is going about this situation all wrong.(There is no enemy except the u.s,sooo everything Scylla said was right)

[@surefiresiren6038]

@@dd-pt9ex it would explain quite a few things about last night's episode and what Scylla said about her... I won't say what because I won't spoil it for anyone who hasn't yet seen it but what I will say is pay attention when Scylla is speaking

[@snakesnoteyes]

Damn, y’all. Therapy clearly doesn’t seem to be a thing in this world, and Alder has clearly been deeply traumatized by living through the witch trials (“the burning time”), and seeing her sister hanged while being powerless to prevent it. She’s making questionable choices out of desperation, but the accord is why her people aren’t being openly hunted and destroyed by the state. And it’s absolutely a shitty position to be in and put others in. And she is definitely spinning out in her desperation to keep the state from openly going after witches again, but that doesn’t make her a lunatic or even “power mad”.

[@carminevelvet]

Best episode yet! I cried real tears towards the end when Alder got her vocals worked by a Khalida, a precocious child! It was haunting and beautiful, and I love how it shows off the shows, unique approach to magic. Alder is 300 years old but that magic comes at a price. She couldn’t handle the new song because she is compromised.

[@carolperry7695]

[@ivanabefreeable]

@@HisameArtwork so the families of witches who died for Salem accords since they have zero freedom unless to serve as slaves since 18 years old. In war, there are casualties on both side, those who kill innocent and win the war are called heroes, while those who lose the war are terrorists. It is a matter of perspective, grab a history book, read some

[@Ordinaris]

@@HisameArtwork Neither the military side nor the spree are better. Scylla made wrong decisions yeah, but her ideology of not bending to the slavery is right. She just didn't side with the right side yet that's understandable that she'd be vengeful since the military killed her parents for no reason. Eventually though, with the help of Raelle of course (as they fell in love) they will gradually find out neither sides are great and they will follow their own path.

[@melissasears6937]

Man, what a great episode! Firing on all cylinders! Alder is so badass! And Scylla playing it so tough with Alder and totally breaking apart when they take Raelle away. So beautifully acted. I really loved that the show is so progressive and so unafraid. Giving us a black female president and then introducing her to us with those bigoted words about Witches to Alder! Ugh. It really gives us a measure of the real place of the witches in this world. Sure, they are drafted and forced to defend their country, but they're not loved or respected for it. Great acting by Lyne Renée in the whole episode. Glad she got bumped to regular for season 2. Bring it on, season 2!

[@kathrynIS]

the girl that plays Khaidia to me gives off this vibe that says not only is she's a little girl that was inflicted with a disease that Rayelle cured she's not what she appears I mean she strikes me someone who is in the form of a little girl but she could be much older by the way she acts.

amazing episode as always, but I'm still curious about one thing, we already have a sneak peak about what raelle and tally's gifts are, but why the military doesn't teach them anything about their speciality. raelle indeed a healer but she's not quite there yet, everything she heals would get back to her (in my opinion this not healing means)

[@carminevelvet]

Elisa Ren They probably have to get into “war college” first. And that’s where they will learn to specialize. The military had to know which soldiers are worth investing more time into. It wouldn’t make sense to specialize someone who is going to end up as, they like to call it, “war-sausage”.

[@selen8336]

I love the show the show for so many reasons, the witches, the acceptance of all love, the projected strength of the matriarchal society without the toxicity or cattiness. But best of all is that Adil and Khalida seem to be from my ethnic group, Kazakhs. Last (and in fact the first and the only) time Kazakhs and Kazakhstan were featured on a Western screen was in mockumentary by Sasha Koen where he played Kazakh journalist Borat and we all know what it told about my people. So I love both characters and their secret powers. As for why I think they are Kazakh, that's because their names are right, the region mentioned where hey were encountered (on the border of Russia) is right, even actors' looks sorta right, more so with Khalida. Her name nevertheless should be pronounced with H as the first sound not the K.

Someone please explain this: they lead us to assume that Scylla was the attacker in the mall because we see the same vessel persona in the car. BUT, after the actual attack in ep 1, the person revealed after the attack was not Amalia but a certain red head. So was it not Scylla or is "Amalia" also a vessel? I think it wasnt her in the mall, but she certainly did use the balloon in some other attack to prove her devotion to the cause.

[@wkadalie]

Yes she changed into the ginger, but then at the end of the episode. The ginger turned into Scylla. So I think the writers were saying the ginger was Scylla.

It was her. She was practicing in the mirror I think. I like that the writers are not giving us a doubt about what Scylla did. She's not a bad person. She lived her life on the run and saw her parents killed despite surrendering themselves. She's angry. What she did was wrong and misguided and the Spree took advantage of her pain but she's not innocent. Like Laurence says the Spree's not 100% wrong either so nothing is as black and white as some people see it, but their methods are wrong.

In the last episode i thought Alder is with the spee and they torturing Scylla for not delivering Raelle , turns out Alder and the others are torturing Scylla for information on spee, the spee is probably out to get Scylla too because she didnt deliver Raelle, so basically everyone is against her right now, poor Scylla :(
