Killjoys - Schooled - Advance Preview

Killjoys “Schooled” was directed by Ruba Nadda with a story by Jennifer Kennedy and Julian Doucet and Doucet providing the teleplay. Nadda has primarily directed films and shorts that she’s written herself, and Kennedy’s other credits include Justified, King, and The Wilkinsons. It’s another fast paced episode that reveals more mysteries than it answers.

Look for Dutch (Hannah John-Kamen) and D’Avin (Luke Macfarlane) to get hot and heavy only to be interrupted by Turin (Patrick Garrow). The two drop in to see Pree (Thom Allison) and tell him that their current warrant is actually something of a “feel good” mission.

We find out what happened to Pawter (Sarah Powers) and that she has a hidden talent – or two. Alvis (Morgan Kelly) makes an appearance too, but the episode really focuses on John (Aaron Ashmore), D’Avin, and Dutch. Though they do run into another old “friend”  - Delle Seyah Kendry (Mayo Nguyen).

The three end up going back to school. The episode opens up the opportunity to get some insight into D’Avin and John’s relationship. Neither D’Avin nor Dutch are very comfortable around kids. D’Avin proves how much he hates bullies.

Look for a return to form in the fight department – there’s one really good one! John is surprised by someone’s technical abilities. There’s also a really interesting game of two lies and one truth.

And finally, here are some dialogue teases – in no particular order. See how many you can link to the character!
