Greetings, Gasmii!
Hope all you east coasters are doing okay after that whore Sandy came through and had her way with us. I’m in NYC and it’s crazy around here. Sorry that this is late and will be shorter than usual. I work in news and I’ve had to do actual work this week. F you, Sandy!
Previously: Henry saved his boss from a bullet. Alexis stalked Brian. Jane looked into the Drake’s sinister™ past. Jane and Henry had an infestation of ghost brats and smoke men.
Henry has become a minor celebrity since saving Commissioner Pike’s life and is even doing interviews on local TV. He is approached by a sexy Los Angeles “media consultant” named Laurel who wants to turn his fifteen minutes of fame into a lifetime of fame. She agrees with the TV interviewer that Henry is too modest and also that his story would be more compelling if he were single. She stalks Henry at the Drake Halloween party and interrogates about why he and Jane aren’t married. It turns out that Jane is the one with cold feet.
Louise has made a new friend in the building – a sexy doctor named Scott. He’s been examining her because she’s still supposedly in pain from the elevator attack but it’s really just a ruse to get prescription meds. Brian is upset because he thinks they are fooling around. His suspicions are exacerbated when Alexis steals the doctor’s cell phone while they’re making out at the Halloween party and sends a fake text purportedly from the doctor to Louise’s phone.
Winky, winky, I need a drinky
Louise and Dr. Sexy get stuck in the elevator during a masked-madmen induced power outage and Louise freaks out because a) she still thinks the elevator is trying to kill her and b) she’s jonesing for some pills. She confesses to Dr. Sexy that she used to be a club kid hooked on speed but she went to rehab and got clean and Brian knows nothing about it. She tells Dr. Sexy that she realizes now that’s she’s relapsing not just because the elevator has it in for her, but because her life is not perfect and she’s self-medicating. Dr. Sexy says he understands and he’s always there for her if she wants to “talk.” Then he makes a pass at her and Louise says he’s more screwed up than she is. They are finally rescued, but Brian has found the fake text and still thinks they are having an affair. He punches Dr. Sexy in the face.
Meanwhile, Brian and Alexis have come to an understanding – he tells her he’s sorry he kissed her that time and she promises not to walk in on him while he’s naked anymore. She even gives him back the keys to his apartment. Of course, she is still a crazy beyotch and it’s clear from the way she intensely stares at him that Brian’s Alexis troubles are NOT over.

ohhhhhh… that Alexis is sooo freaking hot…im waiting for awesome bedroom moment..or i’ll settle for a shower moment..love the ghost kid but with her daddy gone it could mean shes gone..i wonder if that building is real??
@alice It is real its called The Ansonia.
I wish Nona was in this episode, since her vision of Jane happened.
I don’t understand why that Dr. guy told Louise he would give her something, if he knew she had become addicted. Was is so he could confront her about it or so she could make a pass at her?
I’m not surprised Jane isn’t the one who doesn’t want to get married. Why else would she get so defensive when people bring it up?
SnoopK8, glad to hear you’re safe! You had the perfect excuse to skip the recap this week, so thanks for getting one to us.
This episode had me going into full on speculations mode. Like, did the voice of the guy threatening Gavin on the phone remind anyone else of Tony’s voice (in terms of the cadence). I kind of have a feeling that Tony is not the total affable chump he’s presenting himself to be. And I also wonder if Olivia might not also be in on it — I wonder if she might be trying to find things out about her dear husband, in reaction to the “suicide” note from her daughter (although I have a feeling that we’re going to find out that her daughter isn’t really dead…)
And it seems as though they are suggesting that the little ghost girl is actually Olivia’s grandmother or great grandmother? But if she survived the massacre and grew up to have children, then why does she appear as a ghost in little girl form? But I guess we’ll find out when the time comes whether that speculation is true.
A few things still bug the hell out of me with this show though. The plot fascinates me, but so often the characters react in ways that make no damn sense.
Like Jane — why the hell would she run to basement to try to escape an axe murder, when she could just run to the lobby and either out the front entrance or into the party where there are loads of people to help her? And why, when she’s running from the guy with the axe, would she stop in the hallway to make a phone call to 911 (without telling the guy whose phone she’s borrowed that she’s being chased by a guy with an axe, by the way), instead of trying to get both of them to a place where they can hide from the guy who is chasing her? And in the same vein, why would she waste time hugging Henry in the doorway after she escapes axe guy the final time instead of grabbing him and saying”Do you have a gun? No? Then let’s get the hell out of here before the guy with the axe comes and hacks us!” I mean, yes, axe guy was incapacitated by the birds, but she couldn’t know that for sure. She didn’t even look over her shoulder to make sure he wasn’t coming.
And for the first time, Gavin joined the stupid train as well. If Olivia is so damn important to him (for the most part, he seems sincere about that sentiment) then why would he entrust her safety to the supposedly affable chump of a doorman rather than a) hiring her a real bodyguard or b) watching over her himself? Makes no damn sense.
Still loving the show though, and can’t wait to see what happens next…
I’m with you, Lizbot…I think Tony is the voice on the phone, same as Gasmask Man. I also think, too, that the little girl is either Jane’s grandmother, or is connected to said Grandma in the way back past and had given the necklace to her.
glad you’re safe — do you have power yet? we miraculously never lost ours (other than a few minutes), but almost everyone around us did, obviously.
i kinda wish they’d skip this peter trying to kill people in 2012 shit. i don’t see how it really adds anything to the show.
I thought the voice on the phone was Tony too. Since the beginning I thought Nona was Olivia’s dead daughter. After seeing Nona’s decaying grandmother in the wheelchair, I don’t know.
