Immortal, Luther believes a set of crystals when put together will give invincibility. In other words, no one will be able to behead him. Amanda's old teacher, Rebecca, gave one crystal to each of her students. Luther has killed her and taken her crystal and is now after the rest including the one Amanda has.
John was kind of an idiot, wasn't he? He basically got Rebecca killed. He wouldn't move out of the way. If he had, Rebecca might still be alive.
Why did Duncan say this line: "Look, you're the last one of Rebecca's students left alive. If Luther took her head, then he's good." Rebecca laid down her sword and let herself be beheaded in order to save her idiot boyfriend, John, who wouldn't get out of the way. Because he didn't move, which he had lots of time to do, Luther was able to grab him and hold a sword to his neck. I know Amanda left out the part of who killed Rebecca, but later he found out. You'd think if he still didn't know, Amanda would have countered this argument. Maybe John didn't tell her the truth? That he got Rebecca killed by not moving out of the way? Hmmmn....
I found Amanda very likable in this episode. I was glad to see a flashback of her and how she first became immortal and met Rebecca. Later I enjoyed the flashback of Duncan, Amanda, and Rebecca. The three of them were funny. I'm glad they finally gave her some layers so that we can understand her better.
Luther, you're already immortal, why do you need this? Go away and self-flagellate dude.
I agree with Amanda. This was her fight. Her teacher. Her story. It should have been her to fight Luther and win. But no. The writers just couldn't let a female character have that. They had to make Amanda not a good fighter and let Duncan have the battle and win. Seemed so sexist to me and ruined the flow of Amanda's story. It would have been poetic for her to win.
I enjoyed Maurice and Amanda's scenes together.
I gave the episode an 8/10.
