Previously on 666 Park Avenue: Nona told Jane there was a thief in the building. Gavin pushed a city councilman down an elevator shaft. Jane is stalked by a possible ghost brat. Henry applied for a new job with said city councilman and a lowly obit writer channeled her inner Jayson Blair.

We open with jaunty music as Tony delivers newspapers via cart to the residents. The door to Annie’s apartment opens and Kandinsky picks up the paper. He turns to the story about him. Annie is still tied to a chair and he reads the story to her.

50 Shades of Prey

He is mad because he was under the radar for twenty years, but now, thanks to her article, he is very much on the radar. He gets out a knife from his “murder kit” and holds it up to her face. He wants to know who told her about him. She says she made the whole thing up but he doesn’t believe her. She begs and pleads and promises to retract the story, but he won’t hear it. He threatens to cut her eye out if she won’t tell him where she got the info and she freaks out and says it was her boss, Ned. He says Ned had better tell him where he got the info or he will come back and cut both of her eyes out. Whoa. Someone is cranky in the morning.

At Henry and Jane’s, Jane is asking how she should wear her hair for tomorrow night’s party at the mayor’s house. Henry is sad because he just got an email canceling his interview for the city council office job. Apparently it’s hard to conduct an interview from the bottom of an elevator shaft. Jane tries to console him by saying he’s amazing, but the job is not meant to be and he’ll have plenty of other opportunities.

They make out, but then he trips over the nasty suitcase that Jane brought up from the basement last episode. He’s all, WTF is this? Jane explains where she got it, then says isn’t he curious to know what’s in it? Henry is not, but he is concerned about dust mites. No kidding, right? Meanwhile, the combination lock on the suitcase is turning itself. Creepy! Also, the little girl is hiding under their bed again. That means she has to be a ghost, right? I am making the executive decision that she is a ghost.

Jane is at her dining room table trying to break the suitcase lock when Olivia walks in on her. Olivia is angry because Tony told her the Drake thief struck again. Olivia wants Jane to do whatever it takes to catch the thief, whether it means hiring a detective or whatever. Jane says she’s on it. Olivia says good, because she wants her diamond brooch back. Olivia then notes that tomorrow night at the mayor’s is a big deal for Henry…and Jane finishes her sentence by saying she’s already bought a vintage Dolce & Gabbana at a consignment shop for 90% off. Olivia says Jane is learning. Olivia leaves, and the suitcase lock spins by itself again.

Oh c’mon. Everyone knows the combination is 666

    It looks like we’re finally going to see the scene from the vision Nona had of Jane.

    Nona had visions about people outside of the Drake, remember the exterminator. I wish we got more Nona she’s the most interesting character to me.

    I wonder if what Gavin did was the plan Olivia was hoping for, it seems like she doesn’t like Henry.

    Supernatural has taught that to get rid of ghosts you have salt and burn their remains.

    I’m really starting to get worried that this show is close to jumping the shark, and I hope it was just some kid-writer that they gave a chance this one time around.

    Why are some of these characters so stupid? Like Henry sneaking in to the Dorans’ apartment without worry that as rich folk they might have some security in place (although I, too, find it hard to believe that the Drakes would allow the help to have full access to their apartment like that). And it’s bad enough that Gavin’s computer was not password protected — especially with those clearly-labeled, non-protected secret files on them — but why would Henry think it would be that easy?

    We could go on and on about Jane and that basement, but I could by that she’s mystically drawn to the suitcase, but why is she not even more freaked out by the ghost girl who keeps showing up? A normal human wouldn’t be trying to open a creepy suitcase from a creepy basement in the dark when there’s a creepy ghost child hanging about.

    And Annie. I found myself want to scream at the TV when she shows up at her boss’ house after basically sending the assassin there. And then instead of trying to covertly suss things out, making sure that the coast is clear, she starts banging on the door and screaming his name when Kandinsky could be anywhere nearby waiting to kill them both? Dumbass! Why didn’t she just call the police with an anonymous tip (assuming that she was worried about being prosecuted for the whole false journalism thing).

    Last thing, as a fan of Lost, seeing the black smoke come out of the suitcase made me think (at first) that they were doing a crossover character and bringing in the Smoke Monster as a cameo! Interesting thing is that Terry O’Quinn played the guy who was the smoke monster for part of his run on Lost.

    I just hope that they clean up the plot a bit in the upcoming episodes. I can suspend disbelief, but they’re starting to stretch it just a little too far.

    Why didn’t Annie just type out that Kandinsky was killed in a freak accident and submit that? Wouldn’t it have then come true and he would no longer be a threat? The pacing on the show has picked up some so that it is better. Also, I hear that the network has ordered 2 more episodes so there may be hope for it not being cancelled yet! Great recap, btw!

    why didn’t annie morgan just go to the COPS, instead of running alone to her editor’s house? what a dumbass.

    does anyone else think henry is dumb/annoying? i don’t like him. i think jane should just ditch him & go live somewhere less evil (although that would end the show). but, come on, you can do better!

    so, i don’t get this press pass deal — they don’t just let press into events without question, do they? i mean, i don’t work in the media, so i don’t know, but it would seem that if anything they’d tell you to leave if you showed up announced with a press pass more quickly than if you just showed up unannounced for no reason.

    meh, i don’t know about this show. i keep watching it because it’s “interesting,” but it also annoys me at least half the time.
