It turns out Nora just discovered she had powers six months ago!

Honestly, this may be the shows best revelation in quite some time.

Its powerful because its so personal to all of the characters involved.

Well, that is until shes forced into a position where she has to make a similar move.

Boy, the ensuing fight is rough and shows off just how powerful Nora is.
