“Black Lotus, White Rose” is the densest episode of Into the Badlands. Since the last episode should be all about the action, this is the episode where they get most of that ‘splainin done, and as quickly as possible. “You have until the sands runs out to tie up all the loose ends.” Now that we’re in the home stretch, barrelling towards the series finale of Into the Badlands faster than a flying kick, the writers have some ‘splainin to do. This scene feels like a metaphor for the writing of this entire episode. “You have until the sand runs out to turn him,” Magnus says, and walks out the room, leaving Kannin to wonder how the hell she’s going to make Sunny a dark-eyed one in the next 30 odd minutes. He picks up a huge hourglass (which he calls “a souvenir from Azra”), turns it over, and sets it down on his table. There’s a scene towards the beginning of the episode where the Magnus of the Black Lotus (Francis Magee) challenges Sunny’s newly revealed long-lost sister Kannin (Eugenia Yuan) with what seems like impossible task: activating her brother’s dark-eyed powers. This Into The Badlandsreview contains spoilers.
