Aidan is having trouble with his cravings and goes to
visit the old donor lady again. She opened the door and the sight of her really
bummed us out. She looked drained.
Sickly. Aidan had to leave, because if he sucked on her nasty-looking, cut up,
scarred arms again, she would die. Suren met a local mob boss who wants to be
turned into a vampire. In exchange, he will provide access to all the corrupt
politicians and cops in the city. He will also provide security, hunting down
the last of the orphans. Aidan is against turning this man, even though he is
not all bad. He provides protection for some citizens and brought a rogue
orphan to Suren’s doorstep for her to stake.
Aidan goes back to the old donor lady’s apartment and a
child answers the door, clearly being offered as food. To his credit, Aidan
doesn’t just leave, he bolts. He decides to turn the mob boss for Suren but
loses control and kills him. Suren joins in to feast and gets what she really
wants: Aidan, romantically.
We got to see some 1930s flashbacks of Aidan and Suren, and
the nature of their relationship. Sexual, obviously. Aidan had an underling
that he turned. The underling was unsatisfied with the perks of being a
vampire, because he had to serve under Aidan, and Aidan was charged with
babysitting Suren. Mother was in full control over Suren, and Suren wanted to
run away with Aidan. Aidan refused, so Suren slept with Aidan’s underling. Aidan
tried to kill the betrayer, but Suren stopped him, saying that Aidan made his
choice. We hope that’s the last we see of Aidan’s awful little mustache.
Josh’s plot this week was interesting. He met two
werewolf siblings who were Born This Way, baby. Brynn and Connor are a little
wild, and Connor ends up in the psych ward after getting into a fight. Brynn
spots Josh in the hospital, is able to tell he is a wolf, and convinces Josh to
help her break Connor out. They couldn’t have him turning into a werewolf in a
few days, after all. It wouldn’t be safe. They take Josh out to party,
revealing that because they were born wolves, they always felt the way he does
on the day of a full moon. That’s why Connor is so aggressive.
Connor has to use an herb called wolfsbane to keep
himself calm. It wasn’t really his fault he got into a fight if you take that
into account, but Josh still doesn’t like Connor. He thinks the siblings are
spoiled, because they party and are rich. Josh tells them that he is looking
for a way to cure lycanthropy, and they offer their support…and money. Josh
refuses at first, because he doesn’t like the siblings. Aidan tells Josh to get
a grip and take their help.
Josh calls them into his storage unit lab and explains
that he is looking for a trigger, so that he can turn it off. The
siblings get excited, because they realize that if Josh finds that trigger, he
will be able to turn it ON for them all the time. They don’t want a cure to be
human. They want to be permanent wolves. Brynn explains to Josh that she feels
wrong inside 29 days a month, while Josh feels bad for one day a month. Josh
sympathizes. Brynn is drop-dead gorgeous and might cause a love triangle between
Josh and Nora. Both women are likeable, but if Josh abandons Nora at this point
for someone so unpredictable and clearly animalistic, we will have a hard time
forgiving him.
Sally still wants to reincarnate, and Zoe invites her to
a ghost support group meeting. There, Sally sees her dead ex-date, Nick. When
we last saw Nick, he was really obsessed with his own death and relived it by
drowning every day, in order to feel something. Sally gave him the boot. Nick
is now dating Zoe, and he has stopped drowning himself. He is a lot better.
This upsets Sally, because she can’t understand why Nick could get better for
Zoe and not her. Sally thinks that she should have a shot at healthy Nick,
seeing as they are both dead.
So, yeah, Ern doesn't think Sally was making any sense this week, but Leeard
felt really bad for her and could fully relate. Breaking up with someone because they won't change, and then finding out that they changed for someone else really hurts. Sally sees a couple kissing passionately and saying
gushy stuff to each other. Ripped apart by jealousy and loneliness, Sally loses
her damn mind and possesses the woman so that she can continue the makeout
session. This guy was not even hot and not worth risking your existence over.
This was a fine episode, but it wasn’t as intense
as other episodes, and it didn’t suck us in as much as previous weeks. We
enjoyed the Jack Bauer/Chloe/24 reference by Josh though. This show has been
renewed for a third season, so that’s good news.
Episode grade: B
