I love Pomme so much, her character development is one of the most impressive imo.
She was that lost little egg, sweet, loving to draw and build. But death was always nearby. The day of her birth is forever linked to her brother Dapper's first death. Bobby was confirmed dead two days later. Then the code attacked her repeatedly, she understood she was the only one with two lives and that all her siblings could die in a heartbeat. An anger and a fear grows in her. Fear that anyone might die again, and anger, thirst to take her revenge and end this threat once and for all.
So she took upon herself to become the main target. To put herself in danger so that the code would keep on focusing her. She was still afraid, but she became fearless, because she had no choice, she HAD to be the target, she HAD to keep the code's attention. So she grew stronger, she learnt to fight better, move quicker, think faster. The sweetheart little egg became a caring, protective sister, though for long being the youngest. She remembered the loneliness she felt before being found, and often said she wishes that to no one. So she would be frontline as long as it meant that no one would ever be as lonely as she was by losing their family. As long as they were safe, so was she.
Then Empenada, Pepito and Sunny arrived, and all the egges had two lives again! For a while, it was finally good time for the eggs, but a few of her parents were missing and her dad q!bbh is clearly dying so the worries and panick never truly stopped. But she had a new role now : being a big sister. And even though she didn't have her scythe at hand all the time, she kept on protecting, placing blocks for pepito at lucky ducks so that he has no risks to fall... She also tried her best to make them welcome, help them feel at home, and that was new for her.
And now, the code is back. Now, every one of her siblings can be target. Now, she cannot be there to be the code's main focus. Now, all the fighting skill seems useless if the code attacks her siblings and not her. Now, she feels as helpless and defenseless as she was before being found. But she has a family that she can count on. And she has this anger that fuels her to keep on going without hesitations. She didn't name her scythe Vengeance (Revenge) without reason.
So she put on her armor, goes to fix the Ninhos and she does what she does best: Protect.

Just watched The Librarians S2E8 And the Point of Salvation and...
I loved it, for the most part. Cleverly written and a fantastic Ezekiel-centric episode! He had beautiful moments with each of the others and learnt so much from them. He had substantial character growth and was given the space to bear the weight of serious circumstances and respond appropriately. This episode had the potential to be incredibly pivotal for Ezekiel's character!
And yet....
That ending. What the hell?? What do you mean his memory is lost and he forgets all of those poignant moments???? All those conversations, all that learning to rely on others - are freaking serious??
I'm never a fan of time loop episodes, but I thought they were handling this one pretty well. Right up until they erased all of Ezekiel's character growth at the drop of a hat. This was literally the equivalent of "and then she woke up" being used in a novel. It's weak and strips all purpose of what the characters have just been through.
Ugh! Tell me I'm not the only one. How dare they give me such a good episode of growth and discovering potential for Ezekiel Jones, then take it all back with a just kidding!

other things that happened in fashion class:
- had to take the class twice bc the teacher who taught it the first time got fired and they didn't think we learned anything w his curriculum
- got consistent marks of 95 which were better than the marks i got in my actual major, even tho my work was subpar, bc the teachers clearly didn't know how to grade properly
- the teachers the second time around all also got fired or left (the fashion course at my uni was just MESSY)
- we didn't have a proper button-hole machine despite the fact that we really really needed one
- and of course the aforementioned fact that half of my class had no idea how to use sewing machines
