Wynonna Earp recap: Season 3, Episode 2, When You Call My Name
By Drew Koenig
Most shows would build to a shocking twist, but Wynonna Earp is not one of those shows.
“When You Call My Name” picks up directly from the end of the season premiere with Wynonna and Waverly getting involved in a car accident and rolling down a hill. The younger Earp sister is pulled from the wreckage by an unknown figure, but Wynonna is still supposedly trapped inside.
In fact, Wynonna has somehow found herself on a cliff face with Peacemaker too far to reach and a dislocated arm. To make matters worse, she’s in some form of shock and experiencing hallucinations of her mother who taunts her into surviving.
Luckily, it’s only a fifteen foot climb up and, once she pops her arm back into place, is able to make her way back up in search of Waverly. She sees where Waverly was likely pulled away and goes in that direction with her “mother” in tow. Along the way, Wynonna has arguments with her hallucination, which is a totally normal thing to do and not at all a symptom of traumatic injury.
Waverly, on the other hand, had indeed been pulled from the wreckage by a revenant camped out in the woods and mainly just laments the lack of animals for him to hunt. He claims that all of the animals had been scared away by something (probably Bulshar) and now settles on hunting and eating humans, which makes Waverly next on the menu.

To make matters worse, he has a Little Mermaid thing going on and can steal your voice and make it his own, a trick he employs when Nicole calls.
Soon enough, Wynonna comes to the rescue and has to avoid the booby traps set up in the cabin by the revenant which Waverly guides her through a humorous game of charades. Before she can get Waverly out, however, the revenant comes back and Wynonna has to double back outside to confront him. She successfully tricks him into falling down a hole and, before she can come back for Waverly, walks into a trap and gets strung upside down.
Back in town, the team is working through all of the evidence that they have on the demon attack and Bulshar and decide it’s time to bring the Earps up to speed again. Nicole heads out towards the Homestead and discovers the overturned car and calls the rest of the team in.
Dolls, unaware of the accident, goes to Shorty’s to retrieve Doc and finds him surlier than usual, if that’s possible. Dolls wants to know what’s bothering him and Doc tells him about the alternate timeline and how he went to hell, despite the good that he has done recently. Doc thinks it’s all pointless. Dolls disagrees and tells him: “I don’t need the threat of damnation to fight for the right side.”
Shortly after, Doc and Jeremy get the call from Nicole and Doc goes out to the scene. Nicole and he quickly pick up their track and go off looking for them. It doesn’t take them long until they find Wynonna tied upside down. They cut her down, rescue Waverly, and go back to where Wynonna woke up to retrieve Peacemaker.
Being the only one with any climbing ability, Nicole decides to scale down the cliff to get Peacemaker back. Just as she’s about to grab it, one of Bulshar’s minions cuts the rope from the jeep and Wynonna and Doc barely grab it before Nicole falls.
Ultimately, it’s down to Dolls to save the day and has to use one of Jeremy’s drugs. Jeremy warns Waverly, though, that BBD has changed him somehow and that he’s now unstable. To stop the demon, Dolls breathes a sphere of fire around him and the demon.
The demon is burnt to a crisp and Dolls is still standing, and then he collapses. His heart stops and he dies. Shut up, you’re crying.
Wynonna stays with him until the ambulance arrives because he doesn’t like being in the woods.
