'Wynonna Earp' showrunner Emily Andras talks 1X08, "Two-Faced Jack" and teases 1X09.
* Emily praises Melanie Scrofano, says she is Wynonna and Wynonna is her and that there are so many moments in this episode where she (Emily) was just so moved and empowered by Melanie's performance. We see a different Wynonna once she vanquishes Jack. One of the themes of this season is revenge- does it ever fill the hole in your soul and can it ever make things right? Wynonna's emphasis now is looking into the information Jack gave her on Bobo.
* Emily also praises Greg Bryk as Jack and basically confirms without confirming that he was indeed Jack the Ripper, with one of the theories about him being that he fled to America. She talks about the apparatus for the dissection
(ewwww) and how Jack is a serial killer, so they really wanted to make him a monster, even before he became a Revenant and for him to be a really difficult foe for Wynonna.
* We're starting to see a portrait painted of Ward Earp that’s a little less than glowing- Just because you have the last name Earp doesn’t necessarily make you a good person or a hero. That is just another mystery for Wynonna to unravel regarding her family history and will take her to some really interesting places.
* Shamier and Tim are incredibly good friends, but there's a competitive spirit there. Dolls fought with a military precision and he had some martial arts moves, while Doc was fighting old-timey and was not opposed to some dirty tricks. Doc and Dolls understand that they have to set aside their differences for the greater good, but they're not exactly buddy-buddy now. They're Alpha males on some level, but they need each other and are starting to respect and understand one another.
* Emily found it quite shocking how violent Dolls was in the end, Dolls would do anything to figure out who is compromising his investigation. About episode 9 Wynonna is pretty shaken and dealing with some PTSD in 'typical sexy, drunk fashion' and maybe figuring out what her purpose is now that the Seven have been vanquished. The Stone Witch returns and makes her big play to get what she wants and woe to the person or Revenant that gets in her way. There's also some really delicious Waverly and Haught interaction.
