Spoilers for 'Wynonna Earp' Season 4 premiere

'Wynonna Earp' is finally back with new episodes after a long wait for two years, thanks to the fans of the show who rallied tirelessly to make sure the fantasy drama returned to our screens. And what a return it was! Wynonna Earp (Melanie Scrofano) is now looking for her sister, Waverly (Dominique Provost-Chalkley), after the latter was taken into the Garden of Eden. While Wynonna's baby daddy, Doc Holliday (Tim Rozon), followed baby Earp (who is actually half-angel), Wynonna is unable to get through the stairs to the Garden.

However, just as she heads to Black Badge to find Dr Gloria Valdez after the people of Purgatory were taken by the Black Badge Division, Nicole Haught (Katherine Barrell) shows up. She is extremely motivated to find her fiance Waverly but she is also extremely angry with Wynonna over what she pulled just before the Earp sisters went to fight Bulshar. 

The first episode featured many new pairings and developments. There are zombies on the show now. We also saw Doc and Waverly in the Garden, which did not look like we expected at all. A man decapitated himself with a pair of giant scissors, we met newcomer Rachel Valdez (Martina Ortiz-Luis), who makes a strong first impression as a wilful survivalist teen. Sheriff Randy Nedley (Greg Lawson) and Mercedes Gardner (Dani Kind) are back in Purgatory as Nedley recovers, but we are certain they will find themselves in the midst of action soon. In a shocking turn, Nicole ends up in the Garden somehow (naked, no less) to the shock of a surprised Doc who was looking for Waverly.

It is clear that 'Wynonna Earp' is back to serve more thrills with its fourth season and fans think the show's return was as strong as ever. One fan tweeted, "I need to rewatch asap how is it already over #WynonnaEarp," while another wrote, "I'm so proud of them all #WynonnaWatchParty #WynonnaEarp." A fan tweeted, "My thoughts...HOLY S**T. #WynonnaEarp #WynonnaWatchParty."

One fan opined, "i- i- no words. @emtothea an INCREDIBLE first episode. what a way to kick the series off. you guys were great!!" Another tweeted, "That was an amazing episode!!! I’m really happy they are back!! #WynonnaEarp." A fan wrote, "That was an AMAZING first episode of #WynonnaEarpSeason4 Our little s**t show is back and it’s better than ever... ok, I might be a little biased but I don’t care... #WynonnaWatchParty."

A fan wrote, "That was a damn wild ride and it was SO worth the wait. Thank you to everyone who worked so hard to bring our show back." Another tweeted, "THAT WAS A LOT TO TAKE IN. DUE TO PERSONAL REASONS, IT WILL TAKE ME 5 BUSINESS DAYS TO PROCESS THIS EPISODE #WynonnaEarp." A fan opined, "I am currently pacing back and forth repeating 'what the hell' over and over again.....anyone else??? THAT WAS AMAZING!!!"
