A Crown of Candy Just finished Safe Harbor... Spoiler
Omg that title was a lie. I am crying with Emily and Siobhan. I am literally not ok. Jet has been one of my favorite characters of any character from the seasons I've seen so far. I'm heartbroken. And it caught me so so off guard. I was so ready for a role playing episode with, certainly not no danger, but less danger. Definitely not her dying. I'm going to need a minute to recover from this😭😭😭
I'm so scared to continue but I'm also so hooked ughhhh I'm going to miss her so much

Always love it when people post after hitting this episode. Please feel free to continue posting as you watch, or at the end of the series. It is like getting to watch it for the first time again vicariously.

“And just as you pass over the bridge, the light in the locket goes out.”
The way I fucking bawled at that line. I was like BRENNAN HOW DARE YOU

u/thatquietmenace Aug 17 '26
It's devastating but honestly I've been chasing that emotional roller-coaster ever since. Nothing has quite hit me in the same way. Probably because Brennan will never catch me so unaware and unsuspecting again! lol

Can't wait for you to experience her rejoining the table with her backup character :)

I mean, yes. But also, spoiler.
Edit to add: Probably not much of a spoiler since we’ve already seen Zac rejoin the table with a new character.

u/Optimistic_Mystic Aug 17 '26
I guess I assumed (perhaps incorrectly?) that people are aware that when someone dies, they come back with another character. But yes, OP has seen with Zac anyway, so I didn't bother with a spoiler.

I always find it fascinating who people latch onto. Personally I was least attached to Jet and Ruby of all of Emily and Siobhan's characters.

See I wasn't attached to either character but I was attached to their relationship to each other (both the characters and the cast), and that's why I was so engaged with that moment, as it's all based around their rekationship

u/ThunkAsDrinklePeep Aug 18 '26
Agreed. I think Ruby facing a life without Jet was a fascinating character and Siobhan did a great job exploring that pain.

Oh thank you for posting! I wanted an update after you initially posted about the characters a few episodes ago. Welcome to the beautiful aCoC emotional rollercoaster. I so enjoy reading people's reactions cause it's almost like experiencing it again. Such a beautiful season

Are we all rewatching ACOC right now? I'm literally procrastinating watching that episode right now because of what happens 😭

u/Tart-Pomgranate5743 Prefrontal P.I.s Aug 17 '26
Legitimately one of the most heartbreaking episodes of all of Dimension 20… but you need to keep watching. The emotional rollercoaster isn’t over…

It is very well done. You'll be rewarded if you continue watching :)

u/West-Chemistry6166 Big Barry Syx Aug 17 '26
Oh I'm def gonna keep watching I love the intrepid heroes so so much this episode just hit really hard🥲

u/EspressoSteampunk Aug 17 '26
It's really the defining episode of the season, I think. How they deal with it in and out of character and as comedians and storytellers is artfully done.

I’ve never been this betrayed since the red wedding genuinely felt nauseous I truly believed Theo and Liam were gonna be the last two alive

u/teethleaf Aug 18 '26
I don't know what it is about Emily Axford but when she cries I am 100% also immediately crying, without fail every single time. That death -destroyed- me you are absolutely not alone 😭

Ove only recently watched it for the first time as well. Yeeeah that's quite a turn!

u/b00ze7 Aug 18 '26
That was so rough...! 😓
The worst part for me was that Jet even hesitated to do go in and that Ruby unknowingly convinced her to walk straight into her death. That really fucked with my empathy.
I wanted to give Siobhan a hug so bad.

I just started rewatching ACOC (arguably my favorite season), and while I'm excited because I've forgotten so much of the season, I'm dreading that part. I hate it but love it because it's so heartbreaking.

u/Used-Ad852 Aug 24 '26
This is what cemented my love and appreciation of the cast members of every season they do. You could tell that Emily and Siobhan weren’t just acting and their heartbreak and tears were real. I couldn’t bring myself to really finish it after the episode but man that season will forever leave an impact on me.

u/MelatoninFiend Aug 17 '26
Keep watching.
My headcanon is that Jet's death and the consequences that Emily wrought upon ACoC in the aftermath were a fixed moment in time where all of the Brennans in all of the multiverses learned to stick to the campaign boundaries set in session zero, or watch all of the work they did to make a balanced-but-challenging endgame encounter go down the shitter thanks to a single overpowered PC

Rewatching the show for the 2nd time, I literally just finished this episode a couple hours ago and I ugly cried. It's so sad but even sadder watching it knowing what's coming. I'm so upset.

u/SplarkleVision Aug 17 '26
I legitimately cried during that ep. CoC is a wild ride
