Jane is getting ready for the mayor’s shindig while Henry broods about the flash drive and the events of the last two days. Jane is babbling that she’s worried about Nona, but Henry’s not paying attention. She finally notices that he is distracted and asks what’s wrong. He says nothing, but asks if they can just skip the mayor’s party and go watch the game somewhere. Jane says now she KNOWS something’s wrong. But Henry says he was just kidding. Poor dumb Henry. Jane goes to get something out of the closet and the suitcase taunts her silently. The lock turns again by itself.

Henry and Jane run into Nona in the elevator. Nona says she supposes that Jane told him she is the resident thief. Jane didn’t and says she won’t say anything as long as nothing else goes missing. As they step off the elevator, Nona stumbles and grabs Henry’s arm for balance. She gets one of her visions and as Henry walks ahead, Nona warns Jane to keep Henry away from the man with the compass tattoo. Compass Tattoo is dangerous, has a gun and could hurt Henry.

Henry and Jane arrive at the mayor’s house for the party and grab two glasses of champagne. They are both nervous, but decide to relax and eat some free food.

Back at the Drake, Tony is delivering packages. He stops at Jane and Henry’s door and hears a noise coming from inside. He uses his key to go in. He goes right to the closet and takes out the suitcase, which he easily opens. Ghost Girl is under the bed crying. Ugh. Shut up, Ghost Girl.

Someone call Terminix

Black tar or smoke oozes out of the suitcase and starts to take shape of a human?

I gotta lay off the sauce

All of a sudden, Tony is standing back outside the apartment door like nothing happened. 

Annie writes her story about corrupt officials and sends it off. I love how she can just write whatever she wants and apparently it will be published without question. She calls Gavin to read the story to him – it says that the city is investigating Pike’s ties to the mob. Gavin is satisfied and says that Annie will never see Kandinsky again. Ugh, does he mean it literally, like Kandinsky will cut her eyes out? I would never trust Gavin.

At the party, Gavin goes up to Henry and hands him the part to the flash drive that he left behind. He looks at Henry sinisterly™ before patting him on the back and walking away. Olivia comes up as Jane tries to get Henry to get his picture taken with the mayor. Jane tries joking with Olivia, but Olivia is pissed. Jane has no idea what’s going on so Henry explains the whole investigating Gavin situation. He says he didn’t want to worry her, but Jane says she is worried. He explains that his bosses are trying to make him spy on Gavin and he doesn’t know what to do because they can spin his and Gavin’s relationship any way they want. Jane takes Henry aside and says that no one can intimidate him because he’s his own man no matter what zip code they come from.

    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.
