Annie’s colleague comes over to her and praises her mob ties story although she notes that Kandinsky will probably end up killing Pike before the cops can arrest him. D’oh! Annie didn’t realize that. 

Back at the mayor’s, Henry sees Pike and goes up to him. Henry says he has Gavin’s file, but he’s not going to compromise himself by looking at it. Pike warns him that a “high horse and city politics don’t mix” – unless, of course, you’re mayor of NYC and you are morally opposed to large sodas – and that Henry WILL lose everything. He fires Henry on the spot.

Olivia sees this conversation and says maybe it’s time that Gavin did something about Henry. Gavin says it’s already done.

Annie shows up at the party and uses her magic press pass to get in. All of a sudden, everyone’s phone starts buzzing and ringing with a text alert about Pike’s being investigated for mob ties and corruption. Wow, that was fast. Who knew newspapers were still relevant.

A waiter bumps into Jane and she notices his compass tattoo.

Homicidal maniacs always need to know which way is north

It takes her a minute to put it together, but she suddenly remembers Nona’s warning. Um, hello, that happened less than an hour ago. Jesus, Jane, stay out of the basement. Compass Tattoo Dude is actually Kandinsky and he has a gun! Jane yells a warning, but Henry sees Kandinsky pull the gun and instinctively jumps on top of Pike. Then Henry knocks Kandinsky out, but not before the gun goes off. Oops – Annie got shot in the head and is lying dead on the floor while blood streams out. Gavin surveys the scene sinisterly™ from a balcony.

Henry and Jane arrive at the Drake shaken up. Jane says she’ll never get the image of dead Annie out of her mind. They tell Tony the news and say that it was an attempted mob hit and that Annie was an innocent bystander. Gavin and Olivia come in next and come face-to-face with Jane and Henry at the elevator bank. Olivia tells the boys to go ahead and that she and Jane will take the next car.

Henry and Gavin ride the elevator. Henry says that Gavin was right and that Pike got into his head. Gavin says Henry’s young and it’s hard to know who to trust. Henry says he realizes now that Gavin was just looking out for him. Oh Henry. Gavin says actually, he’s just selfish and wanted to hitch his wagon to a rising star.

As they wait for the elevator, Olivia tells Jane that now she knows not to take anything for granted and says that Jane must be proud of Henry. Jane says Olivia must think she’s an idiot. Olivia says no, just naïve. Then she thanks Jane for sussing out the building thief, even though Jane won’t say who it is. Olivia adds that Jane must have a good reason for protecting the thief. Jane thanks Olivia for everything.

    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.
