Secrets and manipulation put our heroes in danger
Join me in a quick, cathartic NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, wont you?
Im not sure what surprises me more the reveal or the fact that it came so soon.
How quickly new love loses its shine in the face of unchecked bloodlust.

Victor doesnt know the feeling.
Lily contemplated killing him to his face, and hes still in love with her.
How do you solve a problem like Lily?
If youre Henry Jekyll, you over-medicate.
One injection from Henrys serum, and a screaming madman is politely asking for a glass of water.
But Henrys work relies on the duality of human nature moderating the debate between darkness and light.
Is there anything light in Lily?
Victor mourns that he wants her back as she was, but Lily neverwasanything else.
She woke up like this.
Lily is as Victor created her, and if his guilt is any indication, he knows it.
When she meets him outside, shes softer than she has been since she dropped her innocent act.
First love, Victor, Lily says.
c’mon dont come here again.
You will not like what Im becoming.
Until now, shes reveled in the bodies left in her wake.
Lily wants to dominate.
Is she capable of remorse, or is this another act?
The best part of this scenario is Dorians presumption that he has any authority in it.
When Justine observes, You killed them, he adds, And would have killed more.
But its Lily who gets the final say: And shall.
Its cute that Dorian thinks his ruthlessness can even compare.
Elsewhere in London, two women take a slightly less murderous approach to their problems.
The men pass the time on their passage to America by unpacking Sir Malcolms racism.
Do all your people speak so enigmatically?
Kaetenay straightens his shoulders and tells his companion with his eyes how ridiculous hes being: Yes.
Can we trust his story?
The one constant is Ethans guilt, but its rooted in something more recent.
Im not the man you knew, Ethan says.
Theres blood on my teeth and in my soul, I think.
He asks the woman in Apache where the old demon is, and she doesnt object to the moniker.
This is the beginning of a terrible partnership.
I wish I didnt have to say the same about Dr. Sweet and Vanessa.
Vanessa favors Joan of Arc.
Sweet likes Captain Nemo, though he doesnt claim to be personally made for adventuring.
Aversion to sunlight and dependence on the blood of the innocent will do that to you.
The gloves are to remind you, she says, but the itch is still there.
Her stalkers are, too.
What does he want with Vanessa?
And will she ever be allowed even one safe corner of her life?
Not on this show.
