Later on at the bar, Wynonna ran into a character who called himself Henry and was wearing the same ring in the bar, played by the always charming Tim Rozon. We don’t know who the person is, but only saw their hand and a strange ring. Henry’s first appearanceĮarly on in the episode, we saw a mysterious person crawl out of the well where Wynonna had hidden The Peacemaker. I suspect that guilt over her father’s death is something that will surely be explored in episodes to come for Wynonna. Through this fight, we also learned that one reason Wynonna is so reluctant to come home and fight off the revenants is because she accidentally shot her father with “The Peacemaker,” and while that’s something Wynonna blames herself for, it was clear Waverly sure doesn’t. She wants Waverly to get the hell out of dodge before anything can happen to her, but this is Waverly’s home, and even if she has to risk death, she’s not leaving. When Wynonna discovered that Waverly had not listened, and has been secretly researching their family, it set Wynonna off. Like any good big sister, Wynonna wants to protect Waverly from all the hurt she’s gone through in knowing the truth about their family, but little sis has other ideas. The town of Purgatory better be on the lookout for these Earp women because as Waverly’s entrance alone showed us, they are clearly a force to be reckoned with.

As it turned out, it was none other than her big sister Wynonna, who has returned for her “worst birthday ever.” Yes, Wynonna may be the title character here, but that entrance let us all know that her little sister won’t be sitting idly by, letting big sis take care of all those demons on her own. When we first meet Waverly, she comes in guns blazing, taking shots at the woman she thinks is trying to sleep with her boyfriend Chance. I know the music this season is being done by Andrea Higgins and the gang at Arpix Media, whose work on other shows such as Killjoys and X Company I’m a big fan of, so I expect this trend to continue through the season. It wasn’t just the theme song that was great though, throughout the entire episode the music selections were perfectly on point.

It was loud and unapologetic, much like the kickass leading lady herself.

The song perfectly matched the show’s overall vibe, and let viewers immediately know what they were in for. The theme song & musicĪfter successfully battling a revenant, and giving him a proper beat down on her way into town, the series’ theme song starts blaring, and with words like “I told that devil to take you back,” I was immediately hooked. Read on and see if your favorites made the list. There were a few moments in particular that I really enjoyed from the pilot and I’ve highlighted those below. Luckily, that seems to be a fun, sassy and smart wild west adventure that left me wanting more when the credits ran on this first episode. It wasn’t exposition heavy, and definitely let users know the type of show they are in for this season. Overall, I was a fan of Wynonna Earp’s pilot episode, “Purgatory,” written by series’ showrunner Emily Andras and directed by Paolo Barzman. With the help of her younger sister Waverly (Dominique Provost-Chalkley) and Agent Dolls (Shamier Anderson) of the mysterious Black Badge Division, Wynonna has reluctantly accepted her new responsibilities, and looks like she’ll be sticking around Purgatory for a while longer. Part of that legacy involves using Wyatt’s old gun, “The Peacemaker,” to fight off demons–or rather revenants–trapped in the town, looking to harm many of its residents. Wyatt Earp’s great great granddaughter (Melanie Scrofano) returned home to a little town called Purgatory, and assumed her place in her family’s legacy. Wynonna Earp blew into town Friday night and brought along with her what’s sure to be one hell of an adventure.
