Slade enters his villain era 2.0 and u know what good for him. Rissa wakes up, tells Slade that Manu was responsible and fucks up Manu six ways to Sunday Slade is going to go through sad boi hours 2.0 (Glow was the OG sad boi hours waiting for Auren to wake up) (that's if she is continuing her idiot era of doing idiot things instead of fighting the fae) I think Malina and Rot's powers will clash in a weird way, like he can't rot ice. I want him to be like I’m fae what makes u think they will attack me and mine? I might help them instead of u?! I want the royals to beg for Slades help and I want him the like why the f*ck would I help any of u guys and get them to make wild concessions to help them beat the fae.
