That's the million dollar question, isn't it? She's not sure, honestly. Maybe she had been deluding herself by not even being willing to consider the option after the first time they talked. Even then -- even when their relationship was little more than sex -- she didn't want to believe that Doc could be one the things she has to put down. When they first arrived she had promised Doc if it came down to it she wouldn't hesitate to kill his mirror and she knows that's still true. She killed Willa, when it came down to it, but she hadn't expected his mirror to be a creature that only she could kill. That feels unbelievably cruel, even for this place. She is so tired of having to kill the people she loves.
And it is in that moment that something becomes crystal clear to her, something that she had been trying to ignore even as it became more and more abundantly clear over time: she loved Doc. Fuck. She tries to bury that emotion down because right now? It's a weakness, something he could try to use and exploit. Something he is already using as the accent she knows so well creeps back into his voice.
Her mouth feels dry and for once in her life, Wynonna feels speechless.
"Of course he did," She finally manages to spit out. "But I didn't think it would ever get that bad."
Perhaps she didn't want to think it possible. She's not a huge fan of Wyatt for a variety of personal reasons but despite all the things she knows about her ancestor it's hard to imagine him killing his best friend -- but she remembers what Doc told her about the last time they talked. How Constance Clootie had given Doc the ring as a way to punish Wyatt personally.
She wishes it was impossible to believe, the problem is that it isn't and she isn't sure what to do with that.
