Sunday evening’s episode had me on the edge of my seat right up until the end. Spoilers ahead. Several things are going on in Fromville as our heroes try to figure out a way to escape: What’s happening to Henry is basically what happened to Boyd’s wife. She thought it was all a dream and if the people in the dream died, they’d wake up. Henry is going down this same exact path, except he’s starting to wonder if he’s actually in a coma and none of this is real. Seeing Victor there is an incredibly diabolical twist: It would mean that his family didn’t actually disappear. He’s just been in a coma all this time and they’re alive and well. I feel bad for Henry, but not that bad. He’s really been grating on my nerves. He’s supposed to be there for Victor. He’s promised him time and time again that he’s going to take care of him now, that he’s going to be the father Victor never had, and one piece of unsettling news sends him over the ledge. Henry, my guy, Victor had to witness that and then live alone and terrified for years and years. You don’t get to have this much self pity. I used to like Henry, now I think I dislike him even more than Acosta. Mostly, I feel bad for Victor. FROMScreenshot: Erik KainI’m also going to throw shade at Tabitha. When she accompanies him to go look through the Man in Yellow’s car (or, rather, the car he showed up in) they bring Ethan along. Victor finds a creepy bag filled with human teeth. He tries to show Ethan to “prepare” him and points out something pretty crucial. The last time Tabitha was there, as Miranda, she came with a boy and a girl and only the boy survived. And had to grow up alone and terrified. He wasn’t prepared. Tabitha doesn’t want Ethan to see the teeth, however, and when Ethan trudges off to avoid the whole thing, Tabitha snaps at Victor “What is wrong with you?” Are you serious, Tabitha? What is wrong with Victor? What’s wrong with you, lady? She’s weirdly chilly with him even before this despite the rather massive revelation that she was his mother in a past life. You’d think maybe they’d talk. At least everyone else is talking. Boyd is very open about everything with the gathered Fromvillians after they discover the door in the basement (which is sealed). So much communication this season! No wonder the Man in Yellow had to show up to make things worse. At this rate, with everyone working together, they might actually escape. The most interesting thing in this episode was Sophia’s spellcasting. She finds an egg and breaks it on the rather horrific corpse of Roger and whispers some kind of incantation in a strange language. Later, she resurrects him using more magic. This is the first time we’ve seen magic actively being used in this show, and it reinforces my theory that the Man in Yellow is some kind of evil faerie trapping people in his dark realm to feed off their fear and suffering (and organs). The teeth also reinforce this theory. I mean, the tooth fairy, right? Just a very twisted version of the tooth fairy. The episode culminates in Boyd’s plan going very badly. Kenny is the one to execute it and he stabs one of the monsters who pretends to be dying and then laughs at Kenny. He’s quickly surrounded, and monsters are blocking all the nearby doors. Of course, Kenny deserves a dressing down at this point also: Boyd told him to stab and run, don’t even bother to see if it works, but he just stands there. He just stands there like an idiot! If he’d been killed this episode, he’d have only himself to blame. He makes it to the bus, but Smiley gets there before he can shut the door and Smiley very nearly kills him, but then something happens. Fatima, who can see all of this going on through Smiley’s eyes, screams at him to stop. Somehow, her psychic connection with Smiley has a silver lining. Smiley’s transformation into full monster is halted and Kenny is able to escape. It seems that the Man in Yellow’s machinations haven’t worked out entirely as he’d planned. The resurrected Roger, with button eyes and a ripped up mouth and jaw, bursts into Colony House but Elgin stabs him with one of the lake spears and he dies. Kind of a, ahem, toothless move from Sophia if you ask me. Kenny survives, nobody is harmed at Colony House. I was expecting more. That’s not necessarily a complaint, just an observation. I suppose they’re saving the big deaths for the end of the season – but even one of the extras? What did you think of this week’s episode
