Bards Lament & Scanlan's Part in the last 4 episodes of S4
Basically what I'm asking is what's people's opinion on the up-coming bards lament -- how do you think it will play out and if Scanlan will return to the group for the last 4 episodes past bards lament.
For me, I truly hope that Scanlan will be present for the last 4 episodes. It'd feel super redundant have Bards Lament happen, we do the whole monologue (or at least as much as the monologue as they'll put in, considering that Sam has stated that this new version fits in the perimeters of what they've set up), have Scanlan essentially tell Vox Machina to F-off (or again, some version of that) and then leave AGAIN.
Plus with what they're setting up with Pike's corruption arc/crash-out/break-down, Scanlan's involvement is necessary considering that Pike is most likely turning against *everyone* because Scanlan is partly responsible for Pike's arrested development, having been the one to give her such a backhanded comment about "Real Family" that snowballed into her believing that *NO ONE* in Vox Machina needed her in their lives.
(And also if you scrolled down the episodes on Amazon Prime, You can clearly see an image of Pike wielding a glowing Mythcarver in Thar Amphala and I need to know how on earth Pike got mythcarver in the first place if Scanlan isn't supposedly following them to Thar Amphala)
