This was a very good move to advancement to Jake and Rose's now ever getting stronger relationship.The whole scheme to get to spend time with Rose Jake put together and the whole 'deserting him thing' right when they're having a moment at the beginning is familiar stuff.We get to see more of Rose as she is in this one,as we got to see her more of Thorn in the last one (even though she helped Jake out alot,her demeanor was different)You really see more of her sides in The Acadamey and then is episode.

The humor was perfectly timed and not rushed.From Rose's hair gel crack to the Huntsboys trying to beat the Guardian Serpert with their Huntssticks. : Also,the way Jake kept trying to conceal himself was priceless (lol) all the way up to when he hides in the ally and Rose is trying to tell him face-to-face she has to leave again. :'( But it was completely heart-warming when she accepted him for who he was;instead of what he looked like.That shows she isn't shallow or concerned with looks,I seriously felt closer to her when she did this.She may have also been reminding him of what he told her three months earlier."It's whats on the inside that matters." and she probably took that to heart.Aw,so sweet!

She didn't have some of her tact I noticed when the Huntsboys were accusing her to the Huntsman.Personally,I would of thought she would have been more cool and defiant when first accused as she should have expected it.But in the end,she pulled off unfurling Jake's dragon molted skin to him without skipping a beat and even clutching her fist like she was resisting the urge to do something rash on him...nice.But he's not easily fooled,so she better remain sharp if she wants to keep under his good graces.

The plan of exactly how he plans to destroy all magical creatures is a little on the 'unexpected' side.It seems to me,most people were expecting a blitz of Huntsmembers bombing poor unicorns in Ireland or fairys in Brazil.But this is an interesting way as well.The snake (which I'm grateful isn't a basilisk) is a bit of a shocker and the skull idea seems a little (DP;Ghoul's out) but at least it seems thwartable.Last but not least,the whole dream charm
communication seems a little out-of-this-world but a clever way to aviod being seen together too much and the ending where Rose gives him his own seems to let on that Rose is becoming more and more willing to move on with a relationship with Jake.Until...he has to try and win her back in Homecoming,that is.My guess is he will mess up in Dreamscape or some other unknown episode yet to air.But they trust each other for now,that's what matters most in the face of fate.Is that they don't feel distant for one another now.
