Jane and the exterminator are in her favorite place looking for airshafts. She mentions there could be access through the mysterious DOOR, but now it’s covered with concrete. He says someone probably covered it for a reason. She says there are probably lots of reasons and asks him to demo the wall. He sighs and says he’ll get his tools. I wasn’t aware that exterminators also did demolition, but I guess you learn something new every day. He puts his clipboard aside and it has a lucky rabbit’s foot attached. Why do I think that poor bunny gave its life in vain?
Danielle is sitting alone at a table in the middle of a restaurant where she is apparently getting stood up by her date. She gets up to pay the bill and leave, but Gavin just “happens” to be there and sneaks up on her. They agree the restaurant is romantic, but not when you are alone. Sad Danielle says “alone” is the constant theme in her life lately. I can’t imagine why, she seems so positive and happy. Gavin invites her to have a drink with him and his friend Frank Alpern, who noticed her and was really hoping to meet her. Danielle agrees to have one drink with ol’ Frank and Gavin stands back and admires his handiwork.
Back in the basement, Nona sneaks up on the exterminator and tells him not to kill the birds because it will make “them” upset. In the meantime, she snatches the rabbit’s foot from the clipboard and scurries away. Holding the foot, she has vision of the exterminator getting attacked and killed by birds. Aha, so not only is she a psychic, but she steals shit to find out what’s gonna happen to people? Does that make her kleptovoyant? (I made that word up.)
Next day, Jane visits Louise in the hospital and brings her some takeout lunch. Louise wants to know what the deal with the elevator was, but Jane says it passed all its safety inspections. Louise says the whole thing was crazy and she felt like the elevator was trying to kill her. She’s considering suing, but Jane doesn’t want to get in the middle of that shizzle. Jane says she has to leave to go to the grocery store since she is cooking dinner that night for her and Henry. She leaves out that the Dorans are coming over for dinner.
Jane arrives at the Drake carrying those paper grocery bags that only exist on TV shows anymore. At the elevator, she runs into Olivia and Danielle. Danielle has a hot date that night with Gavin’s friend and Olivia is taking her shopping for an outfit. Man, my landlord won’t even fix my kitchen light, let alone take me shopping and pimp me out to friends.
Gotta pay the mortgage somehow
At her apartment door, Jane sees who she thinks is Nona pass by and calls out to her, but Nona (or whoever) ignores her. Inside, there is an envelope containing a newspaper clipping about a 1956 murder in the building. Of course it’s the guy from her dream, and his name is Edward Paxton. The murder remains unsolved.

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.
