![]() ![]() Nichole: I thought the episode did a great job of really making you feel the pressure they were under. They all have a common goal, and it’s a very bad situation they’re stuck in. Obviously that’s a hard pass from Nicky, and everyone’s, frankly, a bit snippy with each other. ![]() Natalie: He’s going to whip up the waffle batter for her. Nichole: I liked Ryan being the one to be like, “Maybe Zhilan knows something.” He’s sort of turning out to be the softie of the group. There was no sign of her when Kerwin arrived, but yeah, she’s being held, and with Mia on tap, it’s Quakin’ Time for Russell. Kerwin, my love, we will return! Team Shooby is panic-searching for Mia, because they know she’s likely still inside the Tansion. Nichole: Kerwin should have gotten to kill him!!! It’s what our boy deserved. Natalie: I hate that feeling, like, “Well, I don’t know anything, I don’t know what the fuck DID actually happen, all I know is that whatever you say, the truth is probably the opposite.” His only thing to go off is “Dad is lying.” Fun. Natalie: Not comforting, not normal - definitely a reason to be suspicious. His face during the hug was not a relieved face. Natalie: I was going to do some check-ins with you, like, when do you think Kerwin knew for sure that this was all bullshit, how long was he playing the game for? But honestly I think it’s early, if not immediately, because I don’t think that hug ranked as okay, in any way, for him. Nichole: Russell was wildly creepy the entire episode! He gives the world’s creepiest hug that made me viscerally upset. Natalie: So he storms into the Tansion to confront his dad, and Russell does everything he can to get Kerwin on side. Natalie: Certainly the first time opening on him as a badass hero. Is this the first time an episode has ever opened on Kerwin? The heroic focus episode - to remind people how much they love this person, before the untimely demise - is a classic. Nichole: I mean, when they realized how important he was to us, they definitely should have called everyone back to Vancouver to change the ending. Natalie: I’d rather he was dead! How could Kung Fu do this to me? We’ve been so good to them. They were buttering us up for devastation. Nichole: I should have been suspicious when he was so perfect and good and everything I want in this episode. Natalie: I can definitely say, whatever I was expecting, I wasn’t expecting THIS. Natalie: Hi! Welcome to the worst day of my life. ![]() directed the episode written by Ryan Johnson & Peter Lalayanis.Ĭatch up with our conversation reviews so far, or keep reading as we deconstruct Kung Fu season 2, episode 12 “Alliance.” ‘Kung Fu’ season 2, episode 12 review in conversation ![]() Tzi Ma, Kheng Hua Tan, Shannon Dang, Jon Prasida, Eddie Liu, Gavin Stenhouse, Yvonne Chapman, Vanessa Kai and Tony Chung also star. But when an unexpected discovery threatens to derail their efforts, the team will be forced to prepare for what may be a losing battle. The official synopsis of “Alliance” reads:ĪLL HANDS ON DECK - With Russell Tan (guest star Kee Chan) on the verge of making his final move, Nicky (Olivia Liang) enlists all the help she can get in order to stop him before it’s too late. It’s in this fraught place that Kung Fu leaves us hanging until next week and the grand finale. However, Nicky and Zhilan discover that the truth of what Russell has in mind is darker, more devastating and dangerous than we ever imagined: for Mia, and for Kerwin. Like Nicky, we thought we were pretty much on top of the consequences of Russell Tan’s plan – the only question is whether they could stop him ringing the bell in time, now that he has all the pieces he needs. With access to much of Tan’s research, the pieces fall into place in terms of what Tan wants and where it’s going to happen, and preparations are made on every level, even for the dire circumstance of a natural disaster. Grievances are put aside and new dynamics are explored when Nicky gathers her allies in an urgent mission to find Mia and stop Russell Tan from destroying San Francisco in his megalomaniacal goal for immortality. Kung Fu season 2’s penultimate episode doesn’t stop being stressful for a single second. Surely Nicky will be able to save the day before an actual earthquake occurs? Read on for our review of “Alliance.” Kung Fu season 2, episode 12 sees our heroes down to the wire in their race to stop Russell Tan. ![]()
