Guest cast: Stephanie Morgenstern as Rachel Horn Greg Spottiswood as Marcus Diana Leblanc as Judith Horn Richard Chevolleau as Scott Grant (as Richard) Dean McDermott as Peter Burke Andrew Simms as Ed Bell John Gilbert as Old Man Joyce Gordon as Phyllis Sharon Bernbaum as Girl 1 Joseph Scoren as Boy 1 (as Joseph Scorsiani) Geneviève Appleton as Girl 2

Written by Brian Helgeland Directed by Timothy Bond

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Night time, and a teen girl and boy are walking after a band concert. He leads he to a short cut and they race. He falls and they talk, she wants to be a figure skater. They kiss, but she stops, wondering why the popular boy wants her. The girl, Rachel, tries to go, but the boy, Marcus, holds her and tells her he knows she "wants it". She runs off but into another boy. Then another and another arrive, all planning to rape her. She is pushed to the ground and cries, one boy, Scott, is confused, saying he thought she wanted this. One of the holds a knife to Rachel, but she knees him in the crotch. She struggles and runs off, the boys in pursuit. She runs in to the road and is hit by a car. The unseen boys take off. Rachel lies in the road, bloody.

Cut to credits.

Next, we see Rachel in an electric wheelchair she controls with her chin. She isn't happy to be outside, but her mother thinks it is good for her, that she needs to put the past behind her. Rachel thinks she has no life.

At Curious Goods, Johnny has two items for him and Micki to go after, a wheelchair and an umbrella. He wants to just relax, but Micki doesn't want to pass up good leads and tells him to take this seriously.

Rachel and her mom stop at a yard sale. An old man shows Rachel an old wheelchair and says he was like her, trapped in his body and that the chair healed him. Rachel is intrigued. She asks her mom to buy it, but the old man gives it to her for free.

Micki and Johnny get back and have recovered the umbrella. Micki finds a telegram from Jack, who is in London on the trail of the Shard of Medusa and wants Micki to come help him. Johnny is unsure about going after the wheelchair alone, but Micki says Jack needs her.

At home, Rachel has her mom put the wheelchair by the window in her room and her mom helps her get into it. Rachel laughs, making her mother happy. Rachel asks to be alone. Rachel stares out the window, remembering the assault and the accident, and the old man's promise about the chair. Suddenly, she moves her hands and her feet. Then she stands, a sort of spirit form of herself as her body remains in the chair. She runs off.

Johnny drives to the home of the old man, who's daughter says once he recovered from his stroke, they didn't need it. He gave it to a young woman who must live nearby. The old man watches.

At night, the boys who attacked Rachel are driving around, going to steal tests from the school to cheat and pass the class. One heads into the quiet, dark school. He hears a noise, a door opening. In the lab, he searches the desk. The door opens and Rachel comes in, taunting him. She wants a confession from Peter, who tries to get away. He knocks a shelf of chemical over on himself and is burned and melted by the mixture. Rachel runs off. The other boys hear his screams and run in, too late to help. But Peter says "Rachel" before dying. They take off.

Running home, Rachel runs into the old man, who says the chair will start to heal her now. She runs, and vanishes, appearing back home and going back into her body. Once there, she moves her hands, shocking her mother. They both cry happily.

Next day, her mother wants to see what the doctors think, but Rachel rebuffs the idea. Her mother hopes the doctors can make her recover more, but Rachel says she can do this on her own. There is a knock on the door. Johnny asks her mom if they bought the antique wheelchair and offers twice what they paid. Her mom says her daughter is too attached and sends Johnny off. Rachel sees him out the window, and Johnny sees her, too. Her mom wants to walk, but Rachel wants to stay home, looking out the window, in the old wheelchair.

Johnny arrives at the high school and asks some students about Rachel. They tell him about what happened to her, and one of the attackers, Scott, overhears. They also tell Johnny about Peter's death in the chem lab. They tell Johnny to talk to the kids who knew Rachel. Johnny gets in the car, and Scott sits in the passenger seat. He tells Johnny about what him and the other kids did, and regrets his part and listening to Marcus. He also adds that Ed and the late Peter were also involved. Scott is worried he'll die, and Johnny gives him his number to call if he needs help.

Scott is walking home when Marcus pulls up, talking about another girl. Scott and him argue about what has been going on, and wants to turn himself in. But Marcus says if he snitches, he'll kill him, then tells him to go to Ed's after dinner before speeding off.

Johnny arrives back at Curious Goods, looking through a current high school yearbook. He finds pictures of the boys.

At night, Ed is trying to put the moves on a girl on a rooftop, who is nervous. The door opens, Ed thinks it is Marcus, and at the mention of his name, the girl takes off. Ed hears a girl laughing on the roof. Rachel reveals herself to a confused Ed. She taunts him, walking closer as he backs off. He realizes she killed Peter and rushes at her but goes right through her. Johnny arrives in the street. Ed is panicked, backing away from Rachel, who says he shouldn't have tried to rape her. Ed stumbles backward off the roof, to his death on the street below. Johnny arrives on the roof, in time to see Rachel fade away, but too late for Ed.

Rachel is home, going back into her body. Now, she can lift her hands and arms. She calls to her mother. And outside, the old man is listening.

Later, Rachel is in bed reading. Someone breaks open a window and climbs the stairs. Rachel falls out of bed, trying to crawl to the old wheelchair. Marcus shows up, taunting her. Johnny pulls up outside and hears Rachel call for help as Marcus picks her up and throws her on the bed. He doesn't know how she killed his friends but wants to stop her. Johnny arrives and pulls him off. Marcus pulls out a knife, but Johnny disarms him then holds the knife on Marcus, who is petrified. Johnny tells him to get far away, and Marcus takes off. Johnny checks on Rachel, then makes sure Marcus leaves. The old man watches a pissed off Marcus leave.

Inside, Johnny goes to take the chair, but Rachel begs him not to. Johnny realizes the murders are helping her gain mobility. She wants to just keep it until she can walk and the boys pay for their crime. Johnny won't listen, taking the chair as Rachel screams for him to stop. Outside, the old man stops Johnny, telling him the chair saved him from his stroke. Johnny listens, reluctantly. The old man says Marcus will be back, and she is defenseless to stop him. Johnny says no, but the old man pushes, saying the boys made their choice and he should let Rachel make her own choice. He asks Johnny if he wants to guard Rachel for the rest of her life. Unsure, Johnny lets the old man take the cursed wheelchair back up to Rachel.

Scott shows up at Curious Goods looking for Johnny. The door is unlocked, so he goes inside and looks around.

Back at home, Rachel is again in the wheelchair and leaves her body as the old man watches and tells her to go heal herself. After Rachel's spirit form leaves, the old man himself fades away.

Rachel arrives at Curious Goods and says hi to Scott, who is shocked. She knows Marcus persuaded him and that he doesn't need to be afraid. She pretends to want to sleep with Scott, right on the store floor. She undoes his pants and ties him with his own belt. She pulls out a knife and tells him he was worse then the others for not helping. She then cuts the cord to the chandelier above which falls and kills Scott. Johnny arrives back just too late again. Rachel fades off.

At home Rachel slips into her body, just as her mother notices and wants to know what is happening. Rachel explains about the chair, then says she can feel her legs and stands up. She stumbles and her mother drags her out of the room, away from the chair. They struggle in the hallway, Rachel pulling a knife out on her mother. Marcus reveals himself, having been hiding in a room. He slaps her mom, knocking her to the floor. Rachel tries to crawl back to the wheelchair, struggling to get in, but Marcus grabs her, tossing her across the room. She sprays him with hairspray, using the diversion to get herself back in the chair. Marcus wheels the chair around the hallway, to the top of the stairs. Rachel leaves her body as he watches, then grabs him from behind, strangling him with a ripped out phone cord. He collapses.

Johnny pulls up outside and rushes into the house. Rachel goes back in to her body but still can't walk. Marcus hasn't died. He jumps up to push Rachel and the wheelchair down the stairs, but Rachel grabs him and the fall together, as Johnny watches. Rachel's mother comes to in time to see both of them, dead at the bottom of the stairs. She screams and Johnny holds her.

At night, at the store, a sad Johnny is greeted by the old man, who wants to buy the chair back to give it to another. Johnny tells him to get out. The old man says the chair will still be there long after they are gone, laughing and taunting Johnny, who jumps up and uses an axe to attack the chair over and over. The wheelchair suffers no damage, thanks to the curse.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My thoughts:

I'm glad they had this episode. I think at this point, a Johnny episode where he's forced to go on his own was good for his character. And we get more of his mind set from the previous episode, where he wanted to use a cursed item from the vault to help them. Here, that is played on when the old man convinces him to let Rachel hold on to the chair until she's healed. Of course, Johnny immediately regrets that decision when he returns home to find Scott dead.

Do you think he told Micki and Jack what he did and what happened as a result? I'm pretty sure they would both have been livid, at best. I don't think it is ever mentioned, so I am going to guess not. And Johnny still hasn't taken this lesson to heart, as we will see in the future.

I do get the impulse, though. Rachel seems like a sweet kid suffering via the whims of jerks. But where is the line? It is more black and white for Jack and Micki, but Johnny isn't so sure.

I feel bad for Rachel's mom. She has already gone through so much, then she wakes up and her daughter is dead, with Marcus, and Johnny is in her house. Just how the hell did Johnny explain all of that, and end up free back at the store and with the wheelchair?

Also liked him beating the crap out of the chair, in anger. He got to release that anger, but must have been deflating to then see the chair, as good as ever, as he brought it down to the vault. Curse begins to wear on him now, too.

Next week: Stick It in Your Ear

May 10, 1922 Gasoline Alley by Frank King: "Any Other Suggestions?"

[ID: Walt sits on a couch, reading his mail. Skeezix sits on the floor beside him, playing with little toy animals. /end] Walt: Jiminy! Here's something I've been neglecting! Where is Skeezix going to college?

[ID: He stands up and scratches the back of his head. Skeezix picks up a stuffed tiger and walks off with it. /end] Walt: The bunch from Appleton writes in and suggests Lawrence. Ol' Cap Aller* played football there and, of course, I'd want Skeezix to make the team. * Editor's Note: "Cap Aller" was likely Captain Charles Aller (1882-1964). I can find no record other than the university's alumni rolls that even corroborates his existence. According to them, he graduated with a B.A. and became a high school teacher with a love for golf, football and basketball. No idea how Walt knew him. My best guess is that he was the author of the actual fan letter that Frank King's passing on to the audience.

[ID: Walt clutches the letter behind his back and paces around the room. Skeezix grabs a string of yarn and carries it the other direction. /end] Walt: Then I got another letter yesterday pulling for the University of California. I don't exactly know what to do about it but I don't want to let it go much longer!

[ID: Walt stands with his hands on his hips, talking with Rachel, who stands in the doorway with a broom. On the floor, we see the ball of yarn Skeezix is unravelling. /end] Walt: Rachel, where we going to send Skeezix to college? Rachel: Don't you send him no place but Alabam', Mista Walt!

In this house we love and appreciate all the women who have portrayed Lara Croft over the years and value their contributions and hard work in bringing the most successful woman in video gaming to life in gaming, films and animated series.

Shelley Blond, Judith Gibbins, Jonell Elliott, Angelina Jolie, Keeley Hawes, Minnie Driver, Camilla Luddington, Alicia Vikander and now Hayley Atwell are all great. If you try to use one's fame or career or accolades to invalidate another you're trash. Period. We all have personal favourites, obviously, but that does not validate trash talking any of them because all of them gave a different flare to the character and ultimately made Lara Croft who we know her as.

And honourable mentions to Rachel Appleton - young Lara in the first film, Charlotte Sparrey - young Lara in Legend, Heidi Moneymaker - motion capture for Underworld, Abigail Stahlschmidt - Relic Run, Harriet Perring - young Lara in Rise, Emily Carey - teen Lara in the Reboot film, Maisy de Freitas - kid Lara in the Reboot film and Francesca Aston - young Lara in Shadow, as well as all the official Lara Croft models, Natalie Cook, Rhona Mitra, Nell McAndrew, Lara Weller, Lucy Clarkson, Jill de Jong, Karima Adebibe and Alison Carroll; their contributions are also key to bringing Lara to life, in the models' case quite literally, as they were hired to be Lara at gaming and press events.

Season 8, Episode 7: Before My Very Eyes

This episode sure was a rollercoaster, wasn’t it?

Let’s dive right on in. :)

Plotlines:

The Love Triangle & Allie’s Adoption

Ned & The Canfields

Christopher’s Performance

Clara and Jesse

I guess you could say the plotlines were better written together/integrated in this episode than in previous ones. There’s a lot going on but most of the filming and plots just...rolled together?

For example, the saloon as the “gathering place” where multiple plot points take place simultaneously was really cool IMO. It helps the town feel livelier.

The Love Triangle & Allie’s Adoption

The love triangle is...an enigma. I’m probably in the minority of not really being that invested in who Elizabeth ends up with, but I doubt I’m in the minority regarding my general feelings on the love triangle: I want it to end.

I think we’re at a point where it’s just super frustrating for everyone involved, and we’re stretching the limits of suspension of disbelief when it comes to the audience.

I don’t think we’d be as harsh on the triangle if we had double the episodes a season. We get a whopping 12 this season, more than we’ve gotten in a long time, so space is limited, and time is limited, and we know she’ll reach a decision toward the end of this season, so there’s that...I don’t know...pressure I guess, on the characters and the episodes to showcase things in a manner that feels natural and moves well.

For what it’s worth I’m fine with Elizabeth’s turtle-pace, but with only 6 episodes left (5 after this episode aired), knowing she’ll pick someone soon (and it will probably be Nathan)... It makes it really difficult to stomach the Lucas scenes—not because I don’t want to see her with Lucas if she won’t end up with him, but because I feel really bad for Lucas!

Especially with the intense fourth-wall-breaking level of awareness Lucas seems to have regarding the situation. Yes, I’m talking about the line he quoted.

“Every man has his secret sorrows which the world knows not.”

That’s only half the quote. This is the full quote:

“Every man has his secret sorrows which the world knows not; and often times we call a man cold when he is only sad.”

—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Sure, it’s applied to Henry, but it seems almost...too knowledgeable to me?

So, the quote is from the novel Hyperion: A Romance, published in 1839. Longfellow’s wife Mary died in 1836 after a miscarriage. Overwhelmed by grief Longfellow took trips to Europe and spent seven years trying to woo Frances Appleton. She eventually agreed to marry him.

Hyperion was inspired by this. Paul is the main character. He travels through Germany after the death of a friend, and falls in love with an Englishwoman named Mary Ashburton. She rejects him.

To say this was a thinly-veiled autobiography of sorts is, uh, an understatement. To have Lucas quoting it in When Calls the Heart feels...odd. It wouldn’t surprise me if this was an omen of sorts, but...we can’t forget Lucas’s parents’ history: his mother refused to marry his father for years, just like Frances refused to marry Longfellow.

It’s not a bad quote or anything...it’s just...frustratingly on the nose.

I did appreciate Elizabeth’s admission of not wanting to be one of Lucas’s “secret sorrows.” They’re courting publicly anyway, everyone knows it. It’s time for them to be a little more open about it, at least in little ways. Him squeezing her hand on the saloon table shouldn’t be a big deal at this point.

If this was the storyline we were getting for Elizabeth (her slowly working her way toward something with Lucas) I’d be happy with it. I’m still Team Nathan but I like Lucas a lot this season and would be content with a storyline for him.

THE THING IS...I don’t think that is going to happen, and it makes me feel terrible to see him getting strung along like this. Elizabeth doesn’t come off as “has feelings for Lucas and is just nervous about showcasing it” for multiple reasons. First, she was very PDA-like with Jack, and secondly, that’s just...not how the scenes seem to be written. You can assume her reasoning but she never once is the one initiating and then backing off. He always initiates. She always backs off. It’s unbalanced and makes me feel bad for Lucas.

I really hope we get to sit inside his head a bit longer/more seriously at some point. Maybe he’s aware of her feelings for Nathan and is willing to try anyway because he believes that to some extent love is a choice? That would be really interesting tbh.

As it is, I just feel sorry for Lucas. Not that I think Elizabeth wouldn’t have hangups with Nathan, too, but I just feel like Elizabeth’s hangups with Nathan are more fear of what she is feeling/fear of what could happen to him in the future/fear of her heart being broken again, whereas with Lucas it’s almost like she’s not feeling it and trying to force that kind of affection with him makes her feel weird/gross/bad.

I definitely think she has a good friendship base with Lucas, but if the feelings aren’t there, they aren’t there.

Sorry, my thoughts are muddled. There wasn’t a lot going on with the triangle in this episode in terms of...triangley things. I just wish Elizabeth would choose so that the plotline could go away. I’m tired of seeing people strung along.

Nathan was pretty good in this episode. I appreciated his talk with Allie a lot; choosing to be kind and want good things for someone you like is a good example to set. I feel like in the café Allie’s dialogue about Elizabeth smiling at him was off; she probably should have said something more like, “If she doesn’t like you like that, then why does she smile at you that way?” might have sounded better. (He could have said “what way?” and she could have batted her eyes at him lmao.) Allie already knows Elizabeth is courting Lucas...and if we’re to believe the smile directed at Nathan is what tips Allie’s invite consideration to her adoption ceremony, then that would have been a better way to approach it (instead of “Did you see the way she smiled at you?!”).

I really loved that Lucas got Nathan and Allie a little gift. Honestly I just want Lucas and Nathan to be friends or something because the actors have good chemistry together and there’s a shortage of good male friendships in the show that feel Good. I wonder if we’ll find out what the gift was at any point?

The end with Allie only inviting Elizabeth to the ceremony was hilarious. I wanted to actually see the ceremony (because Nathan promising not to leave her was SUCH a good line, I almost got emotional over that and I wanted to see it put into play again) but the imagery it left us with (it looks like a wedding...) was clear enough haha.

Poor Bill, stuck in the middle of that.

Speaking of Bill, the adoption being “on him” was really sweet. And then of course Bill can’t keep the moment tender because he’s always so Uncomfortable with Feelings, but it’s still very sweet.

Ned & The Canfields

I don’t have a whole lot to say here, but I really appreciated this storyline. It wasn’t the best-written surgery-medical-wise, but it felt heartfelt and that’s what matters.

Florence running around trying to do everything herself while also stressing out about Ned really felt...real. And then of course Rosemary getting appointed to the phones and gossiping forever...hahah.

I’m glad I saw the writing on the wall with Joseph; of course he’s a former pastor! I really am intrigued by what his “plans” are that are not church-related. I like that they tried not to make him exactly like Frank, but boy what I wouldn’t give to see them both pastoring in Hope Valley. Then Joseph could pursue his dream while also pastoring a bit, and so could Frank. It’d be nice, and they’d probably get along swell.

Seeing more faith/prayer in the show has been great. Also, Joseph and Minnie are so cute together... I adore them.

Christopher’s Performance

And here we are, talking about the man of the hour... Christopher. Henry’s “secret sorrow” or the product of Henry’s secret sorrow? It almost makes me think he got over Nora with Christopher’s mother and she cut off ties with him and married Jerry the banker.

Henry’s opinion of Jerry is obviously not great, but he’s respectful enough to not talk badly about him. It makes me wonder if Jerry is a worse man than Henry is, though. Maybe so? I wonder if we’ll get more information about it.

They really did a good casting job with Christopher; he manages to look similar enough to Henry and kind of...mimic his way of smiling and movement that’s almost uncanny.

Of course...as Rosemary says, she knows a performance when she sees one.

I’m wondering if Bill feels similarly...

But boy do we know how Lucas feels! Lee tells Lucas that his pocketwatch has been missing “about a week now.”

Lucas confronts Christopher and instead of Christopher being like, “Oh no! I’ll keep my eyes open in case he dropped it somewhere or maybe the chain broke!” he’s really sarcastic about it?

He then tries for the second time to control Lucas (treats him like...he can order him around/bully him) by asking if Lucas found him a bigger room yet. This dude has a serious ego. The sound of Lucas intentionally shutting the door after this was delicious, though.

“If I find that you’re picking pockets, I don’t care who you are or why you’re here. You’ll be on the next stage out of town.”

Christopher just...almost smiles and stands up. “I didn’t steal any watch.”

Lucas says, “And I should believe you?”

Christopher responds with, “That’s your choice.”

Lucas leaves, and then Christopher pulls the watch out of his pocket.

He seems to feel a little guilty when he reads the inscription...but still. He’s so skeevy.

And then he takes the flowers Jesse drops off the ground...to give to...Rachel... Honey, you got a big storm comin’... She knows he’s bad news but I guess she’s into it. Yikes.

And then we have the scene where Mike comes to Henry with a great idea he has, and is interrupted by the arrival of Christopher. Henry tells him he wants him to teach Christopher everything he knows. Mike’s enthusiasm dries up right away.

I think Mike also realizes Christopher is bad news.

And Henry’s just so excited to be “looked up to” and “seen as a father of sorts” that he can’t see what’s right in front of him. Normally he’d be attuned to bullshit just as clearly as Bill and Rosemary and the rest, but...his bias is in the way. He wants to fix his past so bad he doesn’t realize it might not be worth it...

I hope Mike keeps his idea to himself but I have a super bad awful feeling he’ll admit it to Christopher and then Christopher will pitch it to Henry as his own idea. I feel sick just thinking of it!

Clara and Jesse

Clara and Jesse were starting to repair things juuust every so slightly and then he gets mad that she’s shortening her skirt and...it all goes to hell.

It’s not that I don’t love a little drama but this is just...I don’t know. Maybe too much? I liked Clara’s discussion with Joseph because he tells her the honest truth (and he’s full of advice, for better or worse, just like me HAHA): you can’t repair your marriage if you’re not around one another to even begin to heal the wounds/talk about things.

I’m not very invested in these two as characters these days, and I’m not sure what would fix it, but this spat being dragged out for ages ain’t it right now. I’m keeping an open mind, though; it could go somewhere interesting...and at least it didn’t get resolved in one episode.

Also, I appreciated Clara venting to Bill in that “I still care about him very much way” while Bill tries (somewhat awkwardly) to support her choice(s). He’s in a bit of a tough spot; he can’t offer advice freely because not many people are going to take marriage advice from a divorced man who didn’t marry for love in the first place anyway. It’s just good to see him trying to act supportive for Clara.

Other thoughts:

I see we’re getting more of the plotline where Bill has to give up his uniform, but he actually made a really good point in this episode about that. He did earn it! And then insult to injury...trying to make him give up his horse, too?

It’s cute that his horse’s name is Hero; I feel like that was stated much earlier in the show (maybe S3 or S4?) but I’d forgotten it, tbh. How wholesome.

“Am I being prideful?” I think this was a good question for Bill to ask, and honestly it probably took a bit of courage for him to even ask Lee about it/admit that maybe he was being a bit prideful. But like, it’s okay to take pride in your work/the work you’ve done. He did earn all of it and it’s not really fair to ask for him to give it all up. The jacket is one thing (it’s a physical item; yes it shows all the hard work he put in but it’s just an object), but the horse? That’s an emotional bond and it’s rather cruel to break it.

Lee excited to try on the jacket was literally the cutest thing, and I loved that Bill folded and let him try it on. Honestly? Lee looked pretty good in it!

That scene was the definition of BOYS WILL BE BOYS, hahaha.

Also, Elizabeth’s line: “Haven’t you ever lost someone so close to your heart that it tears you apart?” was SO CRINGEY. I don’t know how that made it into the finished episode. Please, writers... read this shit aloud before you film the show. READ ALL YOUR WRITING ALOUD TO HEAR THE CADANCE. I’m literally begging you.

But also, the whole concept is still cringe. You don’t know Dylan, Elizabeth. You didn’t know Colleen. You don’t know if he loved Colleen or not. You don’t know why he ran out on Allie. You’re projecting? Maybe? But even if he did fall to pieces over Colleen’s death, that was no reason to hurt poor Allie who had nothing to do with it and did nothing wrong.

They should have edited the line to say something slightly different. “Tears you to pieces” would have sufficed. And not rhymed on accident.

Last thing for now...the lack of Carson and Faith in this episode was amazing. I know the surgery with Ned will push Carson to either take the fellowship and return to Hope Valley to be of more use there and/or push him to just stay where he is because there’s no one else in the area with his skill level.

I think I’ll be happy with it if he becomes an area surgeon more than a regular doctor... it would help him and Faith both feel necessary for different reasons. And also, he was a surgeon when he arrived in Hope Valley in S4, so it’s clearly his strongest point (and best training/experience).

So uh, how ‘bout that preview for next episode, though? WHOA.

Hopefully this isn’t too scattered; work has gotten a lot busier since the weather got nicer, so I have less time to write without interruption lmao.
