Intimacy can take many forms, and Wynonna Earp excels at depicting many of them. From hot lesbian sex scenes to sisters sharing their vulnerabilities with one another, this soft-yet-gory show is filled with examples of people letting each other in, and it’s riveting as hell (or, you know… Purgatory).
While starcrossed lovers Wynonna and Doc have not always let their walls down for one another, their relationship has been pretty steady this season. In this sneak peek from Sunday’s episode, titled “Holy War Part One,” we see them getting closer than they normally do to discussing some much-avoided sensitive subjects. And also Doc Holliday pulling an Edward Cullen as one of his new (or maybe not so new?) hobbies seems to be watching Wynonna sleep. #vampirestereotypes Check it out…
Um, I love this scene. In it, we learn that Doc doesn’t sleep (a horrifying thought to me, honestly) and that Wynonna sleeps with a pistol under her pillow. (Does Purgatory have a good therapist?) Generally, the scene is quietly domestic in the softest of ways, while also hinting at much larger conversations. “There is much that we fail to discuss,” Doc puts it. Um… yeah. Items on that list: Doc’s past (including the nature of his relationship with Wyatt). Alice, the child they had together who exists somewhere in this world. And the fact that Doc is now a freaking vampire and is married to another vampire. And those are, you know, just the top three.
You can catch “Holy War Part One” Sunday at 10pm ET on Syfy. To find out more about IDW Entertainment’s Wynonna Earp, check out our coverage of the show here.
