WARNING: The following contains spoilers for Wynonna Earp Season 4, Episode 11, "Better Dig Two," which aired Friday on Syfy.
Following the cliffhanger ending from the previous episode, Jolene's final act has transformed Waverly Earp into a dark angel hellbent on forcing humanity to submit to her will or face total annihilation. And as Wynonna scrambles to bring her sister back to her senses, Doc Holliday and Nicole Haught have to examine how far each will go to save the ones they love in "Better Dig Two," the penultimate episode of Wynonna Earp Season 4.
While Doc desperately fights the vampiric urge to feed on Mercedes Gardner and her exposed wound, with Jeremy Chetri help, Wynonna continues her confrontation with her transformed sister Waverly. Dispensing the Ghost River Triangle's mind-altering fog, Waverly decides to levy her judgement on humanity before blinding Wynonna after the gunslinger's attempts to appeal to Waverly's humanity fail. A different confrontation takes place just beyond where the fog had extended between Cleo Clanton and Rachel Valdez. Soon, the former realizes Jolene has been killed.

Cleo convinces Rachel to perform a blood ritual to restore Billy Clanton to normal to gain his assistance in the coming battle for the fate of the world as Cleo secretly moves to claim Rachel's gun. Wynonna is found by the recovered Billy, who reunites his old rival with her trusty revolver, Peacemaker, and agrees to escort her to safety. So it seems the grudge between them is finally resolved as they officially mend fences just in time for Wynonna to regain her eyesight. Wynonna sets out to rescue Rachel while Waverly arrives at the B.B.D.'s prison and drives everyone in her path into a murderous fury.
Realizing she is mortally wounded, Mercedes persuades Doc to transform her into a vampire, with the Wild West figure complying. Now with two vampires, the two are able to break free from their cell and liberate those held by the B.B.D., and Mercedes embraces her new vampiric nature. As Nicole escorts the group outside the B.B.D. facility, Doc and Mercedes feel Waverly's dark powers call to them. However, Doc visibly resists these urges as he confronts his old friend. Soon, Doc appears to give into Waverly's commands and goes out on a new mission. In the aftermath, Jeremy takes control of the B.B.D. again, this time with bloody resolve.
While rescuing Rachel from Cleo back at the Clanton homestead, Cleo summons Hoyt Clanton to rise from the grave as a reaper and tasks him to capture her and recover Peacemaker. With Cleo revealing a plan to claim her birthright as the Clanton heir, Doc reveals he wants to be the heir instead, forcing Wynonna to perform a ritual that will give him the title, evidently now completely in Waverly's thrall. Remembering that Doc would never shoot a person in the back, which is what caused their breakup in the first place, Wynonna refuses to face him in a duel and uses the moment of uncertainty to put down Holt permanently. The duel still comes at a price, however, with Doc revealing he intentionally misloaded his revolver before confronting Waverly, causing his own gun to backfire on him.
Now free of Waverly's influence, the mortally wounded Doc attempts to convince Wynonna to put him out of his misery before the two are interrupted by Waverly. In exchange for the book that will give her total dominion, Waverly heals Doc and cures him of his vampirism, though the effort visibly weakens her. Waverly is intercepted by Nicole, who purges the dark angel from her by pledging herself to constantly be bonded to her and the Ghost River Triangle. And with Doc and Wynonna finally moving towards a reconciliation with Doc and Purgatory seemingly safe once again, Nicole and Waverly prepare for their wedding as the series moves towards a happy ending.
Produced by SEVEN24 Films and IDW Entertainment, Wynonna Earp stars Melanie Scrofano as the title character, Dominique Provost-Chalkley as Waverly, Katherine Barrell as Nicole Haught and Tim Rozon as Doc Holliday. New episodes of Wynonna Earp Season 4 air Fridays on Syfy.
