Critical reception

[edit]

Amy Ratcliffe of IGN gave the episode an 8.4 out of 10, giving it a positive review. She said: "Even though we didn't get much closer to Cyrus (their reunion is going to have to be epic at this point - no pressure), tonight's installment packed plenty of emotional punches and action. The overall story was one that kept you in a state of constant anticipation of the next scene. "Bad Blood" wasn't epic, but it was fun and satisfying."[3]

Christine Orlando of TV Fanatic gave the episode a 4.3 out of 5, signaling positive reviews.[4] David Griffin of Screen Rant also gave the episode a positive review.[5]
