666 Park Avenue Recap: The Man with the Compass Tattoo


Nona is frantically cleaning her apartment. She puts out a plate of cookies just as a woman named Ingrid shows up. Nona tells Ingrid that her grandma baked the cookies just before she went out. Ingrid is a social worker there to check up on Nona. Nona tells her that she’s doing great and has reached calm and peace in her life and she is cured. Ingrid looks skeptical, but says she’d like to schedule a session with Nona and her grandma. Nona says that would be great and then steals Ingrid’s sunglasses as she leaves. No vision for Ingrid? Maybe the kleptovoyance only works on Drake residents.

Gavin and Henry are walking outside. Gavin asks Henry if he’s heard anything about the job at the councilman’s office. Henry says as a matter of fact, he did and he tells him about the canceled interview. Gavin says the councilman’s lack of taste proves his previous point that the job would not be a good fit for Henry. He asks again if Henry’s given any thought to his suggestion that Henry run for office. Henry says every second of every minute.

Then Gavin casually mentions that Henry’s office is investigating Gavin for having inside info on several land deals. Gavin says it probably came from one of his competitors on the Greenpoint Towers project. Henry says he had no idea and maybe he can talk to his boss Commissioner Pike. Gavin doesn’t want Henry to get in the middle of it, but more importantly, Gavin doesn’t want the investigation to affect their relationship.

You complete me

Annie is still tied up in her apartment, but Kandinsky is gone. She falls over in the chair and manages to get out of her ties. She should have named her villain Dali instead of Kandinsky because then her bindings would have just melted away.

Hello, Dali!

Jane runs into Nona on the elevator and compliments her sunglasses. But as they get to the front desk, Ingrid is talking to Tony. She asks Nona if she’s seen her sunglasses, but Nona’s all “nope, no idea what you’re talking about.” Jane introduces herself as the building manager and asks what the sunglasses looked like. Ingrid describes the exact sunglasses that Nona was just wearing and since she’s such a crack detective, Jane figures out that Nona is probably the building thief. She takes Ingrid’s card and says she’ll be in touch if the glasses turn up.

Annie is running down the street to a brownstone to see Ned, who I guess is the editor she threw under the bus. She bangs on the front door of the building but there’s no answer. She tries to call him, but again, no answer. She puts her hand on the railing and finds it all bloody. She follows a trail of blood down the front stoop to the garbage area where she finds a body. It’s Ned.

Ned’s dead, baby

    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.
