Gavin comes in and Jane leaves. Gavin and Olivia cuddle and Gavin tells Olivia to stop blaming herself for Sasha’s death because it was an accident.

Jane comes home and mauls Henry. He tells her about his possible new job and that they are going out that night with Brian and Louise.

Jane lies down on the bed of doom and looks up at the air vent through which she hears creepy music. She gets up to look through it, which, last time she did that she found all those nasty birds. Will she ever learn? Of course she uses this as yet another excuse to go down to the basement. The DOOR is now DRIPPING IN BLOOD.

That is not the shade I picked out

She sees a little girl – the little girl from before – who tells her “it’s bad in there.” That would certainly be enough to send me on my way – forever – but Jane’s all like “what’s bad, possible ghost girl?” Right then Gavin sneaks up on her because he found the original blueprints she had asked for. She looks back at the door and of course there is no blood. If I had a dime every time that happened to me… I would be flat broke. She asks Gavin to wait for her because sometimes buildings can be a little creepy. Gavin says he knows what she means.

Jane, Henry, Brian and Louise go out dancing. Louise says she used to be a club kid but Brian rescued her with his brilliant writing. Turns out that Brian actually did write a play that actually made it to Broadway. Oh, ok. So he is legit. But still, he spends way too much time lolling around the apartment doing nothing for my taste. Jane says she’s glad they can all hang out since Bri and Louise are planning on leaving. This is news to Louise, who is all WTF? Brian tries to change the subject by bringing up that Henry told him Jane thinks the Drake is haunted. But Louise won’t let it go and says they are not leaving the Drake since they have no reason to move. All of a sudden, who should show up “randomly,” but Alexis. Brian is not pleased.

Not-So-Lowly Annie is alone in her apartment with a bottle of champagne and a laptop. She makes up a totally awesome story about Kandinsky being a torturer, while a man who looks suspiciously like the guy she’s describing walks through the lobby and onto the elevator. Uh-oh! Now he is at her door with the very “murder kit” she just described. She hears a noise and goes to the door, looks out the peephole and realizes she is in deep shit. She runs, but he breaks down the door. She tries to climb out the bathroom window but he catches her and drags her off. She frantically tries to call 911 on her cell, but the call doesn’t go through. Fuckin’ AT&T.

    I liked the episode, but it ended a little abruptly for me. And there’s a couple of things I hope the writer will explain sometime soon as well.

    1) What is with the mishmash of residents, from filthy rich to near-dirt poor? And I’ll say it again: a luxury building with a basement laundry room? Makes no damn sense

    2) I hope they’ll come up with a rationale for why a supposedly average to above average characters like Jane and Henry would be stupid enough to enter a creepy secret room in a basement without making any attempt to prop open the door after an incident when one of the two said characters was trapped in the same said room after having said door mysteriously slam shut behind them. I don’t get while she’d enter the damn basement any time at all (at least not by herself), but I’m willing to let that one go. Hopefully the explanation for why they would be so stupid about the door will also cover the issue with them not reading the lease….

    Oh yeah, and I don’t think they’re going to kill off Annie that fast. I think Gavin has bigger plans for her.

    I was wondering when were going to get a creepy ghost child.

    And now we know Alexis isn’t that whorey she won’t strip for just anybody.

    And Jane continues to annoy me.

    I really want more of Olivia’s and Gavin’s back story. How much does Olivia know about what Gavin is and does?

    In the premiere, Gavin explained there are some rent controlled units in the building so they have tenants from blue collar to the super-rich. They had to do that for the wealth of stories this needs.

    Starting to feel a little ‘LOST/The River’ish to me. And Jane is annoying and Henry is seriously dim.

    @timgunnssister: thanks for the explanation. I missed/forgot that part of the premiere. That also answers my question about why they would have a basement laundry room in a luxury apartment!

    I never got into the River, but I totally don’t mind the Lostishness of the show. It’s got enough of the spirit of Lost without totally mimicking it that it fills the void that Lost left for me after it’s disappointing series finale.

    I do hope that they give Terry O’Quinn the chance to exercise his range of acting chops though. The thing I loved about his character on Lost is that he got to play the range from pathetic and vulnerable to omnipotent and menacing. Maybe some flashbacks to what Gavin was before he became the all-powerful soul-slave master that he is today? But they had have to be careful not to make it too John Locke-like.
