Gavin watches Henry and Jane as well and says “finding love makes the pain of searching for love worthwhile.” Danielle says he’s clearly never tried Internet dating. However, she is going out with someone tomorrow night. Gavin says he’ll make her a reservation at this romantic place in the Flatiron district because “it never hurts to stack the deck.”

Later than night, Jane and Henry are in bed when Jane remembers that she left clothes in the dryer in the basement. She says she needs to go get them right now because of the thief in the building. Man, she’ll use any excuse to get to that basement.

Downstairs, the DOOR that was covered in concrete is now uncovered by concrete, so naturally Nosy Nellie goes to open it. This time, it opens into another apartment with an old-fashioned record player playing “I Only Have Eyes for You.” She creeps in and of course there is a dead man on the floor covered in blood. The dead guy jumps up like he’s alive and that’s when Jane wakes up from yet another bad dream. But on the floor, the formerly empty laundry basket is full of folded clothes, so I guess she was sleepwalking again. (Or was she?)

Next morning, Henry is running late for work. And by the way, he forgot to mention that he invited the Dorans over for dinner tomorrow night. Jane is pissed that she has to cook for billionaires, but what else can they do, since they can’t afford to take the Dorans out to dinner.

In the lobby, the demon elevator still isn’t working and Tony is telling someone to use the freight elevator. Jane asks him if he knows of any murders in the building. Tony says no murders, but there have been lots of suicides and accidents. Well, that’s much more reassuring.

The exterminator shows up and Jane takes him to John’s apartment. He looks down into an airshaft that Jane says isn’t in the blueprints. Inside, an assload of birds are nesting. Ewwww. I hate birds. The exterminator says it’s the biggest “murmuration of starlings,” he’s ever seen. We are treated to a lesson in collective animal nouns. For example, did you know that a group of crows is called a “murder?” I actually did know that because I know a lot of useless crap. (Another fun fact: a group of weasels is called a “sneak.” I love that.) Anyway, exterminator guy says don’t worry, he will seal up the shaft and kill all the birdies. I hope PETA doesn’t find out, or demon elevators will be the least of their problems.

Brian NoBalls is in his apartment and for once he is actually writing. Of course he’s still staring at Alexis’ window, but she doesn’t appear to be home at the moment. He closes the curtains. He hears a knock on the door, and it is Jane and the exterminator who need to check the ventilation shafts.

Jane asks about Louise and tells Brian she plans on visiting her in the hospital the next day. Brian looks back at the window and the curtains have magically opened themselves. He’s freaked out because he knows he closed them. Naturally, Alexis is undressing in front of the window. Jesus, lady. Buy a webcam. She looks up and waves at him. He slams the curtains closed.

    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. :(
