[Warning: General spoilers ahead.]

If you’re up on 90s rock, you recognize the episode title from Nirvana’s 1993 tune of the same name, which has the line, “I wish I could eat your cancer when you turn black,” which always, every time, makes me shudder and knock wood 23 years later.  It’s a hugely appropriate title for episode 7 of season 2 of Killjoys, which sets us up for some sort of serious freefall in the final three (say that fast).

The episode covers a lot of ground. No major spoilers, but I will tell you to get your ass on board if you’ve been DVRing the episodes and haven’t watched 1-6 yet. Catch up and come watch and live Tweet episode 7 Friday night.

Here’s what you need to know:

  • There is a semi-logical explanation for what happened to Sabine and it unfolds and morphs throughout the hour. Let’s just say Tori Anderson kills it.
  • D’avin is quickly, unwittingly, becoming some sort of Level 6 green plasma sensei (see above re killing it in terms of the performance Luke Macfarlane delivers on the heels of last week’s super-silly “I Love Lucy”).
  • Johnny gets to geek out over even more new tech, while still working on his own mission, with variable results.
  • Dutch has a full plate between nightmares, pillow talk with Alvis, and finding herself split between loyalty to D’avin and the larger Khlyen agenda, yet still finds time to work two amazeballs outfits courtesy of costumer Trysha Bakker that show off Hannah John-Kamen‘s extraordinary gams.
  • Turin pops up, and if you’re like me, you will cackle out loud when D’avin calls him out for his fine head of hair.
