Wynonna Earp Season 4 Premiere Review: Nobody F$*#s With Our Family

It's been almost two years since we last saw Wynonna Earp. The season 3 finale was on September 28, 2018. Thanks to the most loyal fans in the world, the show was rescued from a near certain death. When we last caught up with our favorite revenant hunters, Waverly (half angel) and Doc (now a vamp) were stuck in the Garden of Eden. Wynonna had roofied Nicole, Jeremy and Robin--so they were passed out in the kitchen. She did this to protect them from the final battle with Bulshar. Remember him? Defeat Bulshar and the Earp family curse would be lifted. Or so they said.

The first scene of "On The Road Again" has Wynonna picking out a number of weapons. She is minus Pacemaker but has Doc's pistols. That's because last season Bulshar turned her gun into a sword.

Nedley (out of retirement to help the gang) says "You almost done? I feel like I've been standing here for two years". Haaa. Too funny. Yep Nedley. We feel the same. And this is why everyone loves "Wynonna Ear" so much. Great characters, great chemistry, wacky villains and nonstop meta jokes.

After Nedley declaring "no one f%^&s with our family" the two head back to the woods to find the stairs again so they can rescue Waverly and Doc. Wynonna climbs the steps but it looks like the portal is closed. Also what's up with the attack crabs?

Back at the police station, they go through Dolls files and are able to piece together some intel. Mercedes is back at the homestead and fills Wynonna in on what happened to the rest of the town. Obviously her interpretation of events is a bit skewed. Wynonna continues on her quest while Mercedes stays with an injured Nedley (crab attack injury).

In a flashback we see Jeremy had scratched "Valdez" on the wall in her house as a clue to Wynonna. Then the feds show up and forcibly remove everyone. We're not sure where Jeremy is currently. Valdez is Dr Global Valdez (a BBD scientist who works in the nearby town of Memorial). Isn't she dead?

Meanwhile, Nicole and Kate are stuck on a secret government train to somewhere. Apparently Black Badge/BBD has captured them (along with all the other citizens of Purgatory) but we dont know why. Kate uses her vamp powers to open the door and help Nicole escape.

Nicole runs into Wynonna on the road and punches her in the face for knocking her out earlier. Then they team up to get to Memorial to try to help Waverly and Doc. They run into a young girl named Rachel whose mother (Dr Valdez) is missing. The girl tells them to be quiet but what does Wynonna do? She blows up a wall to get into Dr Valdez's lab. That girl is like a bull in a China shop.

This wakes up all the dead BBD employees (scientists) who are apparently zombies. There's a fun battle. Wynonna again does something she shouldnt and steps on a grate. Nicole saves her by pushing her away. Then Nicole disappears.

Back in the Garden, Waverly sees several books on a stand. Each has a name that is important to her. It says "Choose one. Choose wisely". She picks one but we dont see the name Waverly then uses her angel blood to activate some sort of machine. Flowers start blooming and a voice says "Waverly". When Doc goes looking for her, Waverly is gone but there's a naked Nicole. Is that the real Nicole or a creature who looks like her?

Grade: 4 1/2 Monsters (out of 5). A great start to a new season. "Wynonna Earp" is back baby thanks to an incredible show of support from the best fans in the business. The season 4 premiere has lots of fan service and clever quips. When Nedley says "No one f%&#s with our family" I could hear Earpers around the globe rising up in unison. I cant wait to see what this season has in store.

If you're looking to catch up, seasons 1-3 are currently on NetFlix. New episodes are on SyFy Sundays at 10 ET. The first episode is also currently available for free on YouTube. Due to Covid-19, the first six episodes of season 4 will air (with the mid season finale being on August 30). Then a break so they can film the rest. "Wynonna" has already been renewed for a season 5 so thankfully the story wont end here.
