Zolf and Hamid trying to explain to Sasha when it’s not okay to take things is never going to get old. She isn’t “evil” but I don’t think she even registers theft as being bad. If you aren’t going to get caught or otherwise into trouble why would you leave perfectly good loot behind. I’m not sure she sees things as belonging to anyone if they aren’t actively in their possession. Seriously *@#% Bertie, I know he was designed to be a “love to hate” character, but I wasn’t really past eye-rolling into hate until this episode. On the other hand James sounds like he is having fun. Bertie being Bertie did give the other characters a chance to shine as they tell him off. I know Hamid wears his heart on his magical sleeves, but blood thirsty is a new look for him. Not sure how I feel about it. To be fair someone who hordes food in a situation like Paris as a cheap power play is really objectively kill worthy. Do you accidentally worship a god? Poor Zolf is not prepared for this conversation. Hamid “said ‘be quiet the way world leaders say the words ‘peace now’” “with an under current of threat and bombing?” Bertie NO! Actually that line about running the world banks nearly crossed the line for me; It would have hurt more if the other characters hadn’t immediately told him to stop. Ya know what I’m giving Zolf a pass on killing the gnomes. The one they interrogated said they were going to be killed by Le Gourmand, and the only point in killing your own for getting captured is to make an example of them. Death as object lesson sounds like an ugly way to go. If you gotta go, then a sudden, clean death by a professional beats is no where near as bad as it could be. Plus I missed it was Hamid proposing they go through with it, so Zolf waited until the team at least mostly agreed with him and had talked through the options.
