MiniCap: Being Human


So that was insane. I normally take notes and have no attention span but not this week. Because even though I thought last week was my favorite episode so far, this one was way better.

Episode begins a little after the last one left off, only now Sally’s comatose. Which you’d think would be impossible for a ghost, but isn’t. She’s retreated into a dreamland where she is still alive, still lives in the house while wearing a lot of purple and is still engaged, but not to Danny because that would be weird. No, in dreamland she’s engaged to Reaper, only his name is Scott. How…common. He smiles a lot and is really sweet and affectionate and, not surprisingly, no less creepy for it.

Meanwhile, the boys haven’t a clue what’s going on in Sally’s head so they decide to have a marital tiff over who is the worst roommate before deciding they need Zoe’s help in bringing Sally out of her coma. Of course, Sally shredded Nick which poses a problem in getting Zoe’s help so they decide to just not tell her about that, because lying always ends well on Being Human.

So it’s a cat and mouse game as Scott plays perfect fiancé while trying to get Sally to move out of the house and Zoe tries to reach Sally to pull her back to reality. Until Reaper goes all poltergeist, seals them all in the house, and spills everyone’s secrets including that Sally shredded Nick to Zoe.

This, obviously, doesn’t make Zoe happy so she has a pity party while Josh tweaks because it’s a full moon in a couple of hours and the boys decide to come clean to Zoe about being monsters because there’s been enough killing in the house. She needs some convincing since she believes in ghosts but finds vampires and werewolves all a bit cliché. Aidan vamps out for her so she can continue trying to Vulcan mind meld with Sally, which eventually works.

Zoe’s gets into Sally’s dreamland and is making some headway with her until she first sees a “live” Nick acting as Scott’s best friend and then starts bleeding from the wrist because Aidan just couldn’t help himself after Josh left him alone with Zoe to find out if he could turn in their refrigerator. This leads Josh into one of his most epic tweaks, ever. But Josh is still Josh so he eventually settles on having Aidan feed on him, even though he’s a werewolf, because blood is blood and what could possibly go wrong?

It all comes to a head with Zoe nursing her wounds in Sally’s dreamland but getting Sally to see the truth while Aidan finally finds out the hard way why vampires don’t feed on werewolves and just when all seems lost…it isn’t and Sally comes back, seemingly without the Reaper possessing her and she’s good. And Aidan’s fine and Josh is Josh, but Zoe’s miserable. And what of Reaper?

Full recap in a few days. Until then, you can catch up on the last recap here.

    This episode was all kinds of awesome, I was at the edge of my couch in some parts. Does anyone else watch Lost Girl which comes on after Being Human? That’s a great show also.
    Can’t wait for the full recap.

    I can’t wait for the full recap either. That was probably one of my absolute favorite episodes this season. Mainly because – even with Zoe there – it centered on the original three and how important it was that the house be a safe place where they could all be “human.” It was kind of like the episode where Josh made them sit down and enjoy a meal – even if the other two had to pretend to eat. Only, it was this totally perverted version of that.

    @featherhead, I really like Lost Girl. At first, I thought it would be kind of lame, but then it started to really click for me. It’s become a really good chaser after a shot of Being Human.

    I loved this episode! The show is at its best when it focuses on the bond between the three leads.

    The whole scene with Aidan trying to drink Josh’s blood was hilarious.
