Not as good as the last episode, but still great. If this level of drama is as far as the show is going to go, I'll be perfectly fine with it.

No one in this show actually believes that they're magical fantasy characters. That would be dumb. They buy into the idea (to the point where they identify themselves by it) because they think they look cool that way (or as we've already seen, because it helps them deal with more troubling aspects of reality), but it's not like they're literally schizophrenic. It's something a lot of teenagers go through: take, for example, the goth subculture and claiming to be demons or vampires or what have you.
