Previously on 666 Park Ave: Jane and Henry became the resident managers of Hotel Hell; Gavin may or may not be Satan and he has big plans to use Jane to get to Henry. Bitchy Louise hired her slutty neighbor who strips in front of the window to be her assistant and then got attacked by a demon elevator. Louise’s playwright husband Brian has no balls and spends more time staring at Alexis than writing plays. Nona is the resident thief and she has visions. A bunch of people got sucked into the walls – and that is not a euphemism.

It’s a beautiful day on the Upper East Side and Gavin strolls around the lobby of the Drake like he owns the place or something. I thought the song playing in the background was “Where the Boys Are,” but it’s actually Patsy Cline’s “You Belong to Me,” which makes more sense considering Gavin and his soul-buying side business. Gavin checks in at the front desk and gazes sinisterly at Henry who passes through the lobby on his way to work.

Jane and Doorman Tony discuss John Barlow, who has disappeared without telling anyone. You may remember John from last week. He’s the one with bloody hands and an undead wife who ended up as human spackle in apartment 8F. Jane is upset that she didn’t know about John’s leaving since she is resident manager and all. Tony assures her that John and Gavin became BFFs after John’s wife “took her high dive” off the building and that Gavin has taken care of all the moving-out paperwork. Also the paperwork for his eternal soul torture.

John’s apartment is full of boxes that need to be shipped off to “Vegas” and Jane has a little clipboard of chores to ready the apartment for the next lucky tenant. As they chat, Tony gets a call from a party planner who is there because of a shindig at the Dorans that night that he isn’t invited to and Jane is. Tony says he’s not mad about the slight because he has a prior engagement anyway.

Alone in the apartment, Jane hears scratching in the wall and goes over to investigate. She pulls off the wallpaper and the wall crumbles. She looks into the hole and all of a sudden, like a billion birds fly out of the wall! Holy crap that is nasty. I hate birds. They menace Jane before breaking a window and flying out.

Bye-bye, birdies!

We see their reflection as Gavin stares out the window of his office. 

Jane goes up to Tony at the front desk to tell him about the birds. He says it’s no big deal because it’s an old building and there are probably lots of things in the walls. You know, like birds, judge killers and unhinged violinists. Jane’s like, noooo, that was a shit ton of birds and we need an exterminator. Tony’s on the phone with the elevator repair people but he gives her the exterminator’s number and tells her to call. He’s kind of snotty about it, and Jane’s like, “I didn’t steal your job, so don’t be mad at me.”

    Great recap. Snoop! And I’m really loving this show.

    I might be in the minority, but I don’t really think that Louise is a bitch. I think she’s just Type A, and she seems to really love her husband and wishes she could be less anal retentive (but she’s not!). It will be interesting to find out who/what Alexis really is as the show unfolds.

    And I actually like Jane, but she’s the typical horror show dummy who seems to have no qualms about going down into a dark deserted creepy basement at all hours of the night by herself? I would totally be waking up my husband and dragging him down there with me.

    But the most ridiculous plot element of the episode for me was the laundry room in the basement. Umm…if I’m paying for a luxury apartment, I better damn well have an en suite laundry! Unless the laundry room is only for the hired help…

    Anyway, loving this show!

    The thing about paper bags where i live in Long Beach, California it is illegal to give out plastic bags so you have to pay 10 cents for a paper one or bring your own recyclable bag. I don’t know if any other cities in this country have the no plastic bag law.

    ^ DC has it too, kind of.
    If you want any kind of bag (paper or plastic) it’s 5 cents a pop.
    Best believe I stocked up on recyclable bags with the quickness.
    All I need to do is get a wagon and my grocery death machine will be complete.

    And I think the reason why John Locke didn’t suck him into the wall is because he didn’t have the power to do that. Maybe since Alpern didn’t sign a contract and didn’t live in the building.
    The people who get eaten by the hotel live there…the violin guy and the zombie wife guy. And to a smaller extent, bitch wife…she didn’t get eaten, but the elevator took a few bites. But anyway, everyone else (the judge, the exterminator, that mean guy from the golf range, alpern) were dealt with by building dwellers, but weren’t harmed by the building itself.

    Tony is maybe a henchdemon or an apprentice whatever the Dorans are. Or maybe he willingly sold his soul to Gavin/the Drake and in exchange, got to be a right-hand man of sorts.
    He knows what’s happening to the tenants, and if he’s been in the Dorans’ employ for as long as they’ve been alive, that’s a long ass time to be a concierge and to watch other managers come and die. Maybe nobody told him that the job didn’t come with growth potential. But then, why would he even want to be manager, if that was the case? The building eats its managers! At least as a concierge, you can live. Plus you get all the tea on the other tenants. Tony better count his blessings and stop complaining.

    I want to think that Nora is good too. She needs to do a better job warning people though.
    A halfhearted “Leave the birds alone” is not going to illicit the same response as an emphatic “Stop fucking with those birds or they will keel you”.

    Jane is dumb.
    If I were her, I would never enter that basement again in life. This is the second time (third if we count that it tried to eat her at the end of the episode) that it has pulled some shenanigans. Once should have been enough to tell her to stay out of that evil place.
    But I feel bad for her too, because everyone was on the low insinuating that Henry is too good for her. That must have been hard. :(
