The 8th episode of PD left me blinking to the screen without a single word. So many questions can be raised here, that I don’t even know where to start? I’m going to continue with spoilers of course, so if you haven’t watched the ep yet, you should check back later.
Oh and there is a little bonus in the end of the post: trailer for episode 9 which has been published recently.
An episode without Vanessa and Ethan
First simple question: did you guys miss Ms. Ives from this ep? I have to admit that I personally didn’t. We have had so many from her (and of course Mr. Chandler) in ep 7 last week, that it was kinda more than enough. She practically started to use the devil’s language to let her landlord Sir Geoffrey Hawkes be eaten up by his own dogs. The Cut-Wife already told her the fact that using her precious handbook-for-the-kill will change her life forever, but she actually went to a race with Mr. Chandler in the topic “who kills Mr. Hawkes first?”.
Brace yourselves, the devil’s language is coming…
Probably next week we will find out how mad he really was at her because of her winning this little competition. I guess the following things can possibly happen there:
- They will kiss again after a possible fight but no sex for the damned lady
- They will go back to the Murray headquarters because there is nothing more to do in the middle of nowhere
- Vanessa will probably also take the book with her which will be worth the witch bitches to break in and try stealing it
What fresh hell has Lily become here?!
This is probably the second question of the week. We could already guess from ep 7 last week, that Lily isn’t that kind of “lamb of god” as she first looked like. (Wonder why I didn’t like her from the start, huh?) As I see, her new twitter tag is #necrolily which is more than hilarious and also true. The first scene where she actually enjoys herself after sleeping with a man who had been chocked by her hours ago was seriously badass. See? That’s what we get if we resurrect a professional whore: she will have the urge to hunt down the whole mankind and take her undead revenge on them. Of course she doesn’t give a shit about her master Victor, as we can clearly see from her conversation with Mr. Clare who’s simply left there just blinking at the newborn wannabe Alpha Mother of the… of the what? Generations of undead?
Her plans are pretty simple (like her, sorry):
- Let’s kill all the men because they are mean, they use women like puppets and trash them when they’re finished
- Let’s be mother of a new kind of human beings (for various unknown reasons she thinks that she can be still pregnant although her body might be a little bit dead already)
- For a baby we must have a father, but with the same health conditions as mama. The only man whom she knows in this state is poor Mr. Clare, so let’s use Mr. Clare as inseminator for the good reason. Asking Mr. Clare is of course not on option because we are soooo done with men ruling everything here, so let’s order him to make the babies. A lot of babies. – And this was the part where I could see Mr. Clare’s face as he was already mentally raped by her just by listening to her plans for the future.
This is what I call mentally raped face
Possible outcomes for “Alpha Mamma” Lily:
- We cannot be serious with her big plan, of course. Mr. Clare seems to lose his attraction to her (wonder why? haha), so she should probably think twice about this conceiving before she believes in it too much.
- Victor will find out about her new habbit of killing men for the greater good and he kills her / she kills him too.
- Mr. Clare sends her to hell (metaphoricly speaking) with her ideas for the bright future and she finds a new place to live by Mr. Gray. She doesn’t know the fact, that he is also very “everlasting”, so the fact that he could be a possible father for her babies will ring a bell in her mind soon after moving in. Or she has a first and final meeting with Mr. Gray’s portrait.
- Mr. Clare kills her because she’s not worthy enough to be his partner till the end of times (let’s face it: her new habbit of killing men is a little bit heartbreaking) and asks Victor to pick a new girl. I just imagined Victor’s face for a request like that and I have to admit that I started to laugh out loud.
- Oh and one last outcome for Lily: the Scottland Yard sniffs out that she has this new hobby and gets her to jail. Of course she would get into medical history very soon (I give her about ten years for that) because of the reason that she just doesn’t get older.
Let’s kiss the eye of a dead man – Lily’s new hobby
The Murray part of the story
I’ve read the most hilarious comment on twitter about recent episode’s final scene where he meets Mina, Peter and his wife yet again at the Poole Headquarters.
“Mina and Peter’s corpses should have their own spinoff by now.”
The scene of the ep seriously goes to Sembene. We know that he doesn’t talk much, he only had about 1 sentence in this ep too, but that was more than correct. He actually saved Murray from Ms. Poole’s magic, no matter how good she was playing with his heart. (And this is the point where I have to mention that “don’t play with my heart” has never been so realistic like in this show.)
“Know who you are!!!”
After Mr. Murray has finally become the good old Mr. Murray whom we god used to, he goes to make a visit to Evelyn Poole. I have no idea how he got to the conclusion that this is a good idea. Seriously. But they have a great discussion about their future with all cards set on the table. Ms. Poole tells him that they could live forever young, he just needs to hand her Vanessa. He rejects this special offer and we’re finally sure about that too, that he’s the father of Ms. Ives.
Well, father’s day has never been harder for Mr. Murray with all the leftovers of his family, standing in front of him in the witch castle. Wonder how he will get out of there alive, or if he will able to manage it at all.
Family reunion in a very special way
And here comes the most heartbreaking moment for me in the show
Dorian and Angelique. Yes. I was waiting so much for a catfight between Angelique and Lily but poor Angelique discovered Mr. Gray’s secret.
Our first look at Dorian’s portrait was Angelique’s last…
If it was my choice, I would rush to Victor with Angelique’s body as soon as possible and beg him to do his magic tricks on her just to see her more in the show. She was a magnificient character and a lot of applause goes to Jonny Beauchamp for making her as true and loving as possible. She would make the best undead ever and I seriously highly recommend creator John Logan to let her have more in the show, somehow, some way.
Of course I’m highly curious about what you think about this ep and the possible outcomes. Feel free to use the comment section if you also have some ideas you want to share with me or the public. 🙂
Until then here is the trailer for the next episode with some chitty-chat among the Murrays and Lily’s new move (which we knew would come, right?).
junk for all the junkies
