Step Up: High Water Season 3 Episode 10 Review: Sleep When You Die

All issues should come to an finish. It is a bittersweet factor that we by no means anticipated.

The High Water chapter closes on Step Up: High Water Season 3 Episode 10. Angel makes a alternative, Rigo, and Marquise remedy their points, and Collette will get a greater ending than one would have thought for her.

More than one particular person realizes their desires. For Sage, High Water is a hit; now, he can relaxation simple. For Tal, Davis, and Poppy, the varsity saved them from their extremely unsure futures. Even Odalie and Rigo benefited from the expertise.

Sage dipped his toes into the world of politics. This was a call I wasn’t too thrilled about as a result of 9 occasions out of ten, it ends badly for celebrities once they combine politics and leisure.

It usually cannot be averted, particularly when politics infringe on inventive liberty, nevertheless it’s advisable to carry it till the struggle involves you.

We won’t ever see how this performs out and impacts his life, however thus far, so good.

The episode set an excellent larger stage for a showdown between two brothers who would relatively feed and therapeutic massage their egos than admit that they want one another. All the nice drama occurs on the Grammys with a few million individuals watching.

Marquise

Honestly, I did not consider Rigo and Marquise hated one another for a minute. They are brothers who needed to depend on one another rising up on account of getting an all-time dangerous dude for a father. They may need taken totally different paths in life, however I do not suppose any love was misplaced between them.

Before Rigo performs thug when he confronts Marquise within the penthouse, one feels the aid in his voice on discovering that Marquise continues to be alive. No matter how a lot he hates to confess it, he loves Marquise greater than he lets on.

Marquise: Yo, how the fuck did you discover me?
Rigo: Your, uh, efficiency with Sage. That was only a small trace. Dumbass. Here I’m questioning in the event you useless or alive, and also you out right here residing just like the motherfucking Fresh Prince?
Marquise: And why the fuck do you care?

Who cried like a child when he thought Marquise had been killed? Who drowned himself in liquor and weed within the days that adopted?

I discovered myself rooting for Marquise within the later episodes of the season. Since the primary season, I could not stand him. He and East-O had been the massive dangerous of the present, and I dreaded seeing him on display screen, particularly after what he did to Tal.

He, nevertheless, obtained a redemption arc that turned him right into a not-so-awful man that we thought he was. Then, it seems that he has nice expertise. The solely factor I remorse about this collection finale is that we did not see him develop as an artist and go locations.

All that is due to Terayle Hill, who portrays Marquise. After the primary couple of episodes of the season, I sought out the soundtrack and listened to all of the tracks, particularly ones by Marquise.

This then led me to Terayle’s Spotify, and he gained a fan.

That versus between Marquise and Rigo was one of many stand-out moments of the hour.

Marquise: ♪ I’ve you laying together with your father in a ditch ♪
♪ And I by no means met your mom ♪
♪ But I’m positive that youse a son of a bitch, pussy ♪
Rigo: ♪ You wanna be me so dangerous ♪
♪ But you may’t share this stage ♪
♪ Always needed to be someone you could not however could not ♪
♪ ‘Cause East-O had you locked in that fairy cage ♪
♪ That’s proper I see you, Marquise ♪
♪ Come on out, little bitch ♪
♪ I’m the one which moved you in whenever you obtained locked up ♪
♪ And blessed you with them contemporary outfits ♪
♪ Boy, you bought me fucked up ♪
♪ When you had no bread and also you was out shit ♪
♪ Can’t title three individuals within the metropolis to fuck with ♪
♪ You jealous, you are insecure ♪
♪ And your title is whack ♪
♪ And all that speaking large do not change the details ♪
♪ You the one nigga who do not know who you might be ♪
♪ So why do not you are taking off that masks? ♪

Speaking of stand-out moments, Angel’s brother came visiting. JJ was the villain we by no means knew we wanted and one we’ll miss.

Despite my newly developed gentle spot for Marquise, I could not ignore the truth that he might be ugly if he needs. And additionally, Marquise stole Angel from Odalie. Yes, I’m not over that.

In lower than a minute, JJ put Marquise in the proper place. This jogged my memory of a Swahili saying that claims: pwagu humpata pwaguzi. A direct translation would imply a thief meets an even bigger thief. It means nobody is on the high of any system as a result of there may be at all times somebody higher or worse than them.

If we thought JJ and Marquise are dangerous individually, London is in hassle with them united.

The greatest loser — and somebody I felt for — is Odalie. She was dealt the worst hand in the entire present. In ten episodes, she misplaced her boyfriend and girlfriend, injured her leg, and had an especially dangerous homosexual disaster.

Losing Davis was good for her. That dude was a loser. The remainder of it’s horrible. Her first relationship with a girl is her greatest heartbreak. Admittedly, this relationship was additionally not the epitome of wholesome.

In my early opinions of the season, I keep in mind mentioning that Angel had ulterior motives for befriending Angel. Still, one other factor that did not happen to me was that Odalie was additionally trying to blow up her life and get away from Davis.

Watching each of them practically throw palms over the easy indisputable fact that Odalie talked about Marquise may be a thief was comical.

Collette, then again, emerged as a winner. She obtained the varsity, a child, and remained free as a hen. On the floor, it would appear to be she did not deserve it, however she did.

Sage: Hey, ‘Lette. So pay attention, I considered it, and, um… it’s best to have High Water.
Collette: What?
Sage: It’s yours. Always has been. And inside, I’ve at all times identified that. So maintain it.

She has completed horrible issues for the sake of High Water. It’s solely honest she will get it. She spends nights on finish taking good care of High Water affairs.

The child was an unexpected perk.

I’m skeptical of the way forward for High Water with the modifications she has launched. Foremost, fits.

Suits break the whole lot. When beginning the varsity, Sage wasn’t on the lookout for a payout. He genuinely needed to serve the underserved artists in Atlanta. Spartika is a profit-driven enterprise that does not often bode effectively with a not-for-profit institution.

Poppy additionally obtained a terrific ending with a tall, good-looking, unartistic man. She can be in a greater place financially and career-wise, so there isn’t any over-reliance on him. Taking care of Rigo or taking part in Dondre’s endless video games should have been exhausting.

Welcome to our housewarming social gathering, all people!

Poppy

The plan to pretend kill Marquise was effectively orchestrated. I’m undecided whether or not he or Angel had any thought what JJ would do as a result of they appeared very stunned once they noticed him. But in addition they hesitated to get within the automobile with him.

Then some man got here and rushed him into his automobile. Usually, individuals look ahead to first responders to indicate up and deal with it.

No one went down for East-O’s homicide which for an outsider seems unhappy, however that is what you reap from residing a sure life-style. The man was terrible even to his sons. I doubt anybody will miss him.

In London, Angel, Marquise, and JJ purchased the membership they’d at all times needed utilizing the cash Sage had given Marquise.

Tal and Gunnar got here to London to go to them. It was candy to see Tal and Marquise excited to see each other. Forgiving Marquise may be Tal’s starting of therapeutic. Being with Gunnar, I’m not enthusiastic about it.

As I discussed in my assessment of Step Up: High Water Season 3 Episode 1, I’ll at all times be crew Tal and Johnny, and in my thoughts, Tal and Gunnar broke up that very same day after Gunnar requested him to maneuver to London.

And then Tal and Johnny bumped into one another within the streets of London on the identical day just like the universe had been pushing them collectively. They obtained again collectively and lived fortunately ever after.

See? It’s attainable. Just manifest it.

The finish of the hour noticed Marquise fall again into his outdated lifetime of killing with out restraint. Now in a brand new metropolis, with a danger-seeking love of his life and an unhinged brother-in-law, all of it looks as if an ideal setup to personal London.

After killing the fellows within the alley, he dazedly stares on the scene round him, and I might swear I heard him say, “Oh shit! Here we go again.”

This is the place you go off about what you considered the collection finale and share some different endings that might have made you cheerful.

Was the finale satisfying for you, or did it depart extra questions than it supplied solutions?

Do you suppose Marquise was ever capable of depart the thug life?

What do you suppose occurred to Odalie and Rigo?

Will High Water thrive underneath Collette?

Let us know within the feedback beneath, and thanks for being with us right here at TV Fanatic this season.

It has been enjoyable reviewing these episodes each week.
