Next day, Gavin walks through the lobby like in the opening scene and runs into Henry. He tells Henry he closed on the Alpern deal, but says Henry probably already knew that because of a story in the NY Times about the property’s issues. Henry is sheepish and says there was no way that he could have said anything. Gavin says Henry did the right thing and he’s impressed that he didn’t abuse his position to curry favor. Gavin says the world is full of temptations and people with integrity are rare.

Henry still feels bad about the whole thing, but Gavin says not to worry because he flipped the property to a Chinese investor for $20 million early that morning before the news broke. So wait. He closed on the property AND flipped it in less than 24 hours? Wow, he is quite the businessman. Henry says it sounds like Gavin has an ace up his sleeve and Gavin says he always does. Then he tells Henry to enjoy the day, because it’s going to be a hot one – muahahaha.

Henry leaves and Olivia comes up to Gavin. She says he was right, that Henry passed his test. Gavin says Henry is a “stand up kid,” but Olivia says he’s a boy scout. Gavin says Henry is going to be a hero. They kiss and go on their separate ways to wreak havoc on unsuspecting New Yorkers.

Brian brings Louise home, and apparently they walked up the stairs because she’s still afraid to take the elevator. Really, she just walked up six floors with a collapsed lung? Louise wants to know why all the curtains are closed. Brian opens them and OF COURSE Alexis is in the window in her underwear. Put some clothes on, whore. She makes the “shhhhh” gesture at him.

Louise goes through the mail. It’s mostly bills, but there is also a check for $300,000 from Gavin. Well, yay, now their money troubles are over. So what if the demon elevator is still gunning for them.

At the front desk, Jane and Tony are trying to figure out what happened to the exterminator because he hasn’t shown up. On the phone, the exterminator’s supervisor suggests they look for him in the bottom of a whiskey bottle. Wild Turkey, perhaps? (I’ll be here all week, folks.)

Gavin is lurking as usual and says that those birds never bothered anyone, so just leave them alone and close up the wall. He says they’ve been there for fifty years and the Drake is their home too. Um, really? I feel like Health Department might have something to say about that. You can’t buy a large soda in NYC, but it’s apparently okay to have thousands of disgusting birds shitting in your air vents. But Jane just says she’ll take it off her list.

Then Gavin tells her to “take care of that mess in the basement.” What, the phantom dead bodies or…? I guess he means the half-demo’d door.

    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. :(
