Speaking of 7G, Frank is getting up to leave after sex. Danielle freaks out and begs him to stay. Frank is a dick and says “I thought we were going to try and be adults here” and says he has to get home to his wife. He says that Danielle knew the deal going in because he never took off his wedding ring. Danielle insists that he wasn’t wearing one because she looked. What a dick.
Jane is having another nightmare about the basement door. She opens it again and is again at the murder scene, but this time there is a woman there dressed in 1950s outfit, holding a knife. She’s crying that she “loved him so much.”
You can call me, June. June CLEAVER.
Jane jumps up in bed, wide awake.
In Desperate Dani’s apartment, Mr. Dickhead is dead on the floor in a pool of blood. Danielle has a knife in her hand and she falls to the ground sobbing. Luckily, Gavin shows up just then and she begs him for help. Gavin says that Frank Alpern – ALPERN, as in Alpern Development Group, get it? – got what he deserved.
Gavin says ol’ Frank tried to screw him over and was a dick to her, so he doesn’t blame her for getting upset. Dani says she didn’t kill him. Gavin says “you pay the price for the thing you want the most” – I’m sensing a theme here – and then he asks if she remembers Edward Paxton, her first love. He’s the 1956 murder guy. We see another flashback of the murder and it turns out Danielle is the woman in the ‘50s dress. She was in love with Eddie, but he was in love with another woman.
And then there was Carlos and Michael and Dominic and all the others who fucked her over. For each name, we get a corresponding flashback of Danielle dressed in ‘60s, ‘70s and ‘80s outfits. The hippy seventies guy is particularly hilarious.
He’s either a hippy or the lead singer of Slayer
Poor Danielle, she only gets laid once a decade. No wonder she’s so desperate.
Danielle goes to the mirror and her reflection is that of an old crone who kind of looks like a really busted Swoosie Kurtz.
I gotta start using sunscreen
Gavin comforts Danielle by saying he’ll clean up the mess and when she wakes up, he promises she’ll feel like a brand new woman. He hugs her and narrows his eye sinisterly.
Okay, so Danielle is actually really old but keeps getting a renewed as a younger woman that Gavin is using as a tool to kill his enemies. But I don’t see why he would go through all that trouble. Can’t he just have them sucked into the wall like the other guys? But maybe he can only do that to people whose souls he bought directly? I dunno.
If you like it, spread it!:

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.
