Starring: John D. LeMay as Ryan Dallion Louise Robey as Micki Foster Chris Wiggins as Jack Marshak

Guest cast: Vanity as Angelica Martin Neufeld as Howard Moore Laurie Paton as Anita Devon Eve Crawford as Mrs. Burns Jennifer Cornish as Girl #1 Sandra Brown as Girl #2 Tim Gannon as Jogger Tony De Santis as Roger Zimmerman Patrick Brymer as Kirk Bill Vibert as Security Guard David Clement as Henry Pinkman Evelyn Kaye as Woman Bystander

Written by Joe Gannon Directed by Armand Mastroianni

We open on a sexy woman singing a song. It is the superstar Angelica, and it turns out we are seeing her on a television set, in a room covered with posters and photos of her. A man is applying makeup to his face in the mirror, then he walks through the room, caressing her image on the walls. He seems obsessed and sad, mouthing "I love you" to a poster, then he begins to sob.

Cut to the outside shot of the Vinyl Museum Record Depot, where the man, Howard, works. He is busy filling a display for Angelica's music, and his boss tells him a PR rep for Angelica's label will be stopping in. She also gets Howard's hopes up by hinting maybe the rep can even get Angelica to stop by herself.

Some teen girls are shopping, and an overzealous Howard tries to help, wanting to show of his knowledge of Angelica. They mock him and leave.

That night, Howard is walking home and looks at his reflection in a window. As he does, two men jump out of a car and smash a store window, grabbing items and fleeing as the alarm sounds. Howard walks over and finds a chain with a crystal bauble. He picks it up just as a bystander grabs him, thinking he is the burglar. Howard tells the man to drop dead, and the bauble kind of puts the man in a trance. He walks off, we can hear his heart pounding and he collapses. Howard goes to check on him, but the man is dead. The cops arrive.

Later, Howard is finally at home and examines the bauble in front of the mirror. He asks it to fix his skin, and his face instantly looks smoother. He then asks it to fix his face, but nothing happens.

At Curious Goods, Ryan is excited to have to tickets to Angelica's concert. Ryan really likes her, but Micki pokes fun at him. Jack then finds the bauble in the Manifest, and shows the cousins the police report of items stolen, and it includes Mesmer's Bauble. Jack tells them Mesmer was a hypnotist, and they wonder what Louis' curse did to the item. Micki and Ryan leave to investigate.

At a club called The Copa, fans eagerly await as Angelica arrives. Howard among them. She waves and signs a few autographs then is ushered inside.

Howard arrives at the record store and his boss introduces him to Anita Devon, from Angelica's label. Howard is excited to meet someone who actually knows his crush. His boss comments on his face looking clearer.

Howard shows Anita their storeroom and she gives him an autographed photo of Angelica. He also spies her backstage pass. Howard continues to ask questions, and it quickly gets too personal. Anita thinks he is a wacko fan, and is uncomfortable. She wants to go, but Howard pushes, and she says Angelica wouldn't be attracted to someone like him. He pulls out the bauble and puts her in a trance. He tells her to go for a walk. She obeys, walking out of the store, only saying goodbye to Mrs. Burns at Howard's insistence. Howard walks out with Anita and tells her to walk into the traffic. She is hit by a semi. His boss runs out and tells him to call an ambulance.

That night, Howard rushes home and again holds the bauble, asking it to make him beautiful and someone Angelica would notice. He writhes on the floor in pain.

At The Copa, Howard arrives with Anita's backstage pass. He looks more attractive, and even his hair is flowing. He heads backstage, where Angelica and her crew are rehearsing. Howard follows the monitors and soon he is within feet of the singer, watching her. Roger, Angelica's manager, is ushering her out when they encounter Howard, who says he is there replacing Anita. Roger says he better do better than her, to Angelica's chagrin. Howard and Angelica shake hands. Roger takes her away, saying they can talk business later. A stagehand says there is an issue with too many fans and asks if Angelica will come out and sign some autographs. Roger tries to blow him off, but Angelica goes to them. Howard wanders backstage.

Later, Roger is ranting about lost time as he and Angelica finally get to her dressing room. He says she is too good to her fans. As she goes to change, Howard watches from the clothing rack. Angelica says Roger is too possessive, and Howard realizes they are a couple.

Micki and Ryan arrive at the store that was burglarized. They talk to the owner, and tell him the cops caught the thieves and got most of his items back. They ask about the bauble. He thinks the crooks fenced it, but Micki says there wasn't time. He mentions the kid who talked to the police, and Micki asks if he means Howard Moore. The man calls him and ugly kid, and talks about the jogger that died. Micki and Ryan head off.

At another rehearsal, Howard watches Angelica perform. He then approaches as Angelica and Roger go to leave, but Roger rudely tells him he should be working and not hanging around, and then takes off as Howard seethes.

Micki and Ryan are at the record store and talk to Mrs. Burns. She said Howard called and quit this morning, and tells them kids were always giving Howard a bad time over his looks. Then she tells them about Anita getting hit. Micki says to Ryan that everywhere Howard is, someone dies.

Howard lies in bed, listening to Angelica's music, and says out loud that he knows she wants him. A knock on the door and Micki and Ryan are there. They ask about the robbery and if he noticed the bauble. He says no, but Micki spies all the Angelica photographs before he shuts the door. She comments to Ryan that he is not at all ugly. They wonder if the cursed antique is already at work. Micki thinks he wants Angelica, so they leave to find where she is staying.

In his apartment, Howard holds the bauble.

At the hotel, Roger stops shaving to answer the door. It is Howard, who holds the bauble up and entrances the man. Howard tells him to finish shaving, really close, with no water. He keeps telling him to go closer and closer, and not to forget his throat. Blood hits the sink and Roger collapses. Howard looks in the mirror and tells the bauble he wants to be Angelica's lover.

In the hotel lobby, Micki and Ryan see a body wheeled out. A woman says it was Angelica's manager. Then, Angelica and Howard get off the elevator, together. Howard has instantly replaced Roger, telling the assembled group to give her privacy.

Jack is reading about Roger's death, with a quote from Howard saying Roger was depressed. Micki says Howard spent the night planning Roger's funeral. They are sure he has the bauble. Jack tells them about his research, that the bauble fulfills fantasies. Ryan wonders if Howard will hurt Angelica. They head to the club.

Angelica is crying in her dressing room when Howard arrives with a rose. He tells her he took care of Roger's funeral, and she cries on his chest. She wants to cancel her show, but Howard insists she must go on, for all her fans. She is unsure. A man knocks on the door, and Angelica says she will go on. Howard tells her he wants to show her something.

We cut to him taking Angelica to his apartment with all the photos of her on the walls. She asks if he wants her and begins to undress.

Micki and Ryan burst into the club, wanting to find Angelica. A man stops them, and Ryan asks where she is. The man says she left with her new manager.

Howard and Angelica are naked, and he is caressing her body. He keeps looking from her to her photos, then he is touching his own chest, then the bauble. Angelica asks what's wrong, and kisses him. She pulls him to the floor on top of her, but Howard says he can't do this, it isn't what he wants. He says he wants to be her. She struggles, as he holds her down. The power of the bauble works on his wish, melding their bodies. Later, Howard who is now Angelica looks in the mirror and laughs.

That night, the stagehand tells Howard/Angelica it is almost showtime. She admires herself in the mirror.

Ryan and Micki arrive at Howard's apartment and bang on the door. Ryan forces the door open. Micki sees weird slimy ooze on the floor, and they rush off to the club.

As the show is about to begin, the fans fill the club. Howard/Angelica prepares to go on stage. Micki and Ryan head in with the other fans, looking for Howard. Angelica/Howard is introduced and comes on stage, singing and dancing.

Micki notices the bauble around "Angelica's" neck and as the singer makes her way around the stage, Micki reaches up and grabs the bauble, pulling it off without their knowing. Suddenly, Howard/Angelica's voice goes deep, his body and face change. He is transforming into Howard again in front of a freaked out crowd. He hears the mocking voices in his head, backs up in a panic and falls into a floor panel of lights, sending sparks into the air. Micki, Ryan and the club all watch in horror.

At home, Ryan is listening to Angelica on the radio, and Jack and Micki tell him to try and make sense out of it. Micki says the bauble is in the vault, but they blew it this time, lamenting being unable to also save Angelica. Jack says there was no way to know what was going to happen, or what was going on in Howard's mind. Ryan looks at the ticket stubs and thinks of Angelica.

My thoughts:

Wow. What an episode. I remember the first time I saw this one, I was really confused as to what happened. Makes way more sense now, but quite the twist here.

One thing that is nuts is how much is made of how 'ugly' Howard is. Are all the people around him so superficial and mean to that extent? Sadly, I can see it being true. Might be a bit played up for the drama, but people can be real jerks. Still happens to this day. So maybe I shouldn't be surprised.

The antique is quite a powerful one, basically acting like a genie's lamp in granting wishes, as long as you give it deaths, and don't let it go. Howard obviously wanted very specific things, but he could have had literally anything from it, it seems.

Our group is getting real good at investigating things, but you have to wonder if the cops have questions about these people always wanting information on things. A recurring cop or someone on the inside would have helped with this.

Glad to have the three of them back together after three episodes with them apart.

The final transformation on stage in front of the crowd and the at home viewers had to have been big news. No way to keep that a secret. I assume Micki and Ryan just took off, but all those people watched Angelica transform into Howard, who then fell and died. And Angelica was gone, too. Had to be huge news! But they make no mention of how it was explained to the world, at the end.

Do appreciate their melancholy, though. They did their best, but Angelica still died. Not easy to live with, I'm sure.

Next week: Wedding in Black

EXTRA: Lockheed B-12 (B-71)

In the early years of the OXCART Project, Kelly Johnson conducted some studies to evaluate the feasibility of developing some variants of her photographic recognition aircraft for USAF. The initial concept, evaluated by Lockheed, provided for the development of a bomber, which would be equipped with an internal weapons bay compartment, containing a carousel from which up to four free-fall tactical nuclear bombs could be dropped, weighing 400 lb (181 kg approx.) each.

FB-12-4 Blackbird Bomber schematic design – Lockheed Martin

The aircraft would be equipped with 2 AIM-7 E/F Sparrow missiles (with folding wings), in the front internal compartments, and 2 AGM-69 SRAM missiles in the rear internal compartments / Lockheed Martin

FB-12-4 Blackbird Bomber schematic design - Lockheed Martin (1)

FB-12-4 Blackbird Bomber schematic design - Lockheed Martin (2)

The B-12 (FB-12-4) Blackbird would also be equipped with a carousel from which up to four tactical, free-fall nuclear bombs could be dropped, weighing 400 lb (181 kg approx.) each / Lockheed Martin

According to the initial studies, this weapons compartment would occupy the same space that, on the A-12, is dedicated to the Q Bay (pressurized compartment, behind the cockpit, where the high-resolution camera was installed). If there was a need for the use of larger weapons, additional space could eventually be obtained by reducing the size of the fuel tanks. With the exception of the access doors to the internal arms compartment, at the bottom of the fuselage, visually speaking, this new aircraft would be identical to the OXCART.

FB-12-4 Blackbird Bomber schematic design - Lockheed Martin (3)

In one of the proposed variants, the aircraft would also be equipped with a 20 mm M61 Vulcan / Lockheed Martin automatic cannon

The deterrent power provided by a small fleet of these bombers would be immense. Because of its enormous speed, the enemy would only detect the aircraft when it was too late, and most likely would not be able to shoot it down, or even intercept it.

On July 5, 1961, a life-size model of the front of the bomber, designated by Lockheed as B-12 (the names RB-12 and FB-12 were also assigned for the same project), was presented to General Curtis LeMay, who, having been very interested, asked if the aircraft could also be equipped with air-to-ground missiles, in addition to the associated avi Kelly Johnson responded favorably, having only pointed out that the development of a pure bomber would be a faster and easier solution, while the use of missiles would require, in addition to more time, further modifications in the overall structure of the set.

On October 26, 1961, the USAF's interest in the bomber was formalized through a memorandum sent to Lockheed, in which it was informed that the military designation of the B-12 would be B-71.

Kelly Johnson's proposal, however, was not accepted, having bumped into the interests of the Strategic Air Command (SAC), whose priority, at that time, was the North American B-70 Valkyrie development. USAF, however, requested Skunk Works to develop, based on OXCART, its own strategic reconnaissance aircraft, initially designated as R-12.

The Wit and Wisdom of Jacques Eloi des Mondes

Just as a stopped clock is right twice a day, so sometimes the words of a devil like Jacques, chevalier of worlds and ghostly former master of Maljardin, can inspire and motivate those who hear them. Sometimes when victory slips through our fingers and when Mother Nature rains clichés down on our parade like cats and dogs, motivational platitudes and inspirational self-help books won’t satisfy us. What we need instead is some inspiration from an unconventional source.

I have returned from a prolonged hiatus from this blog, which I spent expanding my (non-evil and non-poisonous) vegetable garden and taking notes on the second Desmond Hall arc. As before, I've made it my goal to regularly post detailed episode reviews, along with whatever other Strange Paradise-related content my muse inspires me to create. To begin, I present to you a collection of some of my favorite Jacques quotes, as written by Ian Martin and Harding Lemay. Are these words of wisdom, or just clever quips from the best character on the show? You decide.

From Ian Martin’s episodes:

"It's great to be alive!" (Episode 2)

"Don't question love. Welcome it. Some people never receive love." (Episode 6)

"Take happiness where you find it." (Episode 6)

"It's always better to argue on a full stomach." (Episode 13)

Holly: "You seem to have everything that money can buy. I guess even possessions don't make a man sleep easy, do they?" Jacques: "Do you, my fair child? It all depends whether the man is the possessor or the possessed." (Episode 25)

Elizabeth: "A toast to a happy life." Jacques: "Meaning short and sweet?" Elizabeth: "Our destinies are beyond our control, so I prefer to make the most of every waking moment." Jacques: "Now, that's my philosophy exactly. Who knows what tomorrow may bring?" (Episode 30)

From Harding Lemay’s episodes:

"We do not choose to be what we are, my dear child. We must make the best of what Nature gives us." (Episode 159)

Susan: "If [Jacques] were going to tell us something, I wonder what he would say?” Cort: “To live in the present and not to worry about the past. And to use what Nature gave us as best we can.” (Episode 160)

See you later this month with a review of Episode 45, followed by the Bad Subtitle Special for Week 9. The time has come for flowers of evil to bloom in this Garden once again.

« (...) nous refusons de reconnaître et d’assumer avec honnêteté la part importante qu’ont joué la religion et le clergé catholiques dans notre histoire. On répète sans cesse tous ses défauts, index, moralisme, obscurantisme, sexisme, mais on oublie l’apport fabuleux des milliers de prêtres, de frères et de sœurs qui nous ont éduqués et soignés, sans parler des besoins de l’âme. Que dire de leur rôle dans toutes les campagnes de colonisation qui nous ont permis d’occuper notre immense territoire ? C’est en partie grâce au dévouement de ces hommes et de ces femmes que nos ancêtres ont pu passer à travers de nombreuses épreuves. Ne retenant de toute cette fabuleuse histoire que le petit bout de la lorgnette, nous démontrons que nous n’avons pas encore atteint le niveau de maturité collective nécessaire pour faire un examen juste du rôle de la religion et du clergé dans notre histoire. »

Martin Lemay, 6 mars 2021.

Soo...I did a thing.

An AU to be precise though no fic will come out of it from me because of the fics I'm already in the process of doing.

AU that was birthed from some talks of the film Twister and then the Godzilla Prediction Network in the Godzilla 2000: Millennium section in "Writing Japanese Monsters" by John Lemay.

Pretty much, MONARCH isn't MONARCH, its the Kaiju Chasing Network (KCN) that does what is shown in the 2000 film but on a much more in-depth and grander scale.

I don't have much about it atm besides a few chaser teams and Castle Bravo which is sort of the home base and my OC, Zachery "Zeek" Martin will be in there. If you guys ever want to ask me questions about this thing, send it in my inbox!

15 nominations pour LA DÉESSE DES MOUCHES À FEU au Gala Québec Cinéma 2021

Une autre année pas comme les autres pour le Gala Québec Cinéma, alors que les salles ont longtemps été fermées, ce qui n’a pas empêché une vingtaine de longs métrages de fiction de prendre l’affiche.

Dans la catégorie Meilleur film, on retrouve quatre des films qui ont été le plus vus et appréciés, soit Le club Vinland, La déesse des mouches à feu, My Salinger Year et Nadia Butterly, ainsi que Souterrain, dont la sortie a été maintes fois reportée, mais qui sera le film d’ouverture des Rendez-vous Québec Cinéma cette semaine.

Alignement semblable dans la catégorie Meilleure réalisation, avec Anaïs Barbeau-Lavalette (La déesse des mouches à feu), Sophie Dupuis (Souterrain), Philippe Falardeau (My Salinger Year) et Benoit Pilon (Le club Vinland), mais l’industrie a préféré Daniel Roby (Target Number One) à Pascal Plante (Nadia Butterly).

Dans la catégorie Meilleur scénario, encore là, les gros joueurs sont tous là: Normand Bergeron, Benoit Pilon, Marc Robitaille – Le club Vinland, Sophie Dupuis – Souterrain, Philippe Falardeau – My Salinger Year, Catherine Léger – La déesse des mouches à feu, Daniel Roby – Target Number One.

Du côté des actrices, on retrouve Émilie Bierre pour Les nôtres, Marie-Evelyne Lessard pour Jusqu’au déclin, l’actrice américaine Margaret Qualley pour My Salinger Year, Karelle Tremblay pour la coproduction Death of a Ladies’ Man, ainsi que Sarah Sutherland pour Like a House on Fire.

Les acteurs en lice pour l’Iris sont Réal Bossé pour Jusqu’au déclin, Paul Doucet pour Les nôtres, Patrick Hivon pour Mont Foster, Antoine Olivier Pilon pour Target Number One, et Sébastien Ricard pour Le club Vinland.

Dans les catégories « rôle de soutien », on retrouve Sophie Desmarais pour Vacarme, Marianne Farley pour Les nôtres, Éléonore Loiselle et Caroline Néron pour La déesse des mouches à feu, et la mythique Sigourney Weaver pour My Salinger Year chez les dames.

Chez ces messieurs, les finalistes sont Normand D’Amour et Robin L’Houmeau pour La déesse des mouches à feu, Rémy Girard pour Le club Vinland, ainsi que James Hyndman et Théodore Pellerin pour Souterrain.

La catégorie Révélation de l’année est l’une des plus intéressantes selon moi, car c’est un aperçu des visages marquants du cinéma des prochaines années. D’ailleurs, Émilie Bierre et Théodore Pellerin, en nomination cette année respectivement pour un premier rôle féminin et un rôle de soutien masculin, font partie des lauréats passés du prix Révélation. Donc, en 2021, les finalistes sont : Kelly Depeault – La déesse des mouches à feu, Jasmine Lemée – Mon cirque à moi, Rosalie Pépin – Vacarme, Joakim Robillard – Souterrain et Arnaud Vachon – Le club Vinland.

Episode Recap #41: Better Off Dead Original Airdate: February 18, 1989

Starring: John D. LeMay as Ryan Dallion Louise Robey as Micki Foster Chris Wiggins as Jack Marshak

Guest cast: Neil Munro as Warren Voss Camilla Scott as Linda Tara Meyer as Amanda Voss Lubomir Mykytiuk as Dr. Henry Chadway Bonnie Beck as Lesley Averlan James O'Regan as Detective Barbara Franklin as Nurse Shiller

Written by Bruce Martin Directed by Armand Mastroianni

A man is driving at night, prowling a street full of prostitutes. He picks up a lady and they drive to his home. He notices an upstairs light on as they enter. He tells her to make a drink while he checks on his daughter. Upstairs, he looks in a peep-hole to his daughter's room and we see her chained to a bed and fighting against the restraints in a primal fit. He promises to have her medicine soon.

Downstairs, the lady of the night has started a fire in the fireplace and made a drink. The man arrives and takes her to a different, locked room, like a laboratory. She calls his animals pets, he says he's a scientist. She says nothing weird, and he agrees, but pats a gurney in the middle of the room. She scoffs, but he says he is maybe a little weird. She ups her price but goes ahead and lies down on the gurney as he straps her hands.

He tells her he is studying hyperviolence, using the animals, but no one suffers. Then he pulls out a huge hypodermic needle and stabs under her chin, withdrawing some kind of fluid. He then heads up to his writhing daughter, holds her down and injects the fluid from the woman into the girl. She immediately calms down. He unstraps her and holds her.

At Curious Goods, Ryan shows Jack an article about another missing prostitute. Jacks says they have nothing to go on, so to file it for future reference. Micki arrives with her college friend, Linda, after helping her hunt for an apartment. Linda feels like she is imposing on their hospitality, but Jack scoffs and Ryan agrees, wanting to take her to dinner.

At Warren the doctor's house, his colleague is trying to make him see that his daughter is just going to get worse. He tells him he has drawn up papers to put her in the hospital, but Warren says no, then calls to Amanda, and his doctor friend is amazed at how well she is. He is skeptical but wants to examine her, but Warren says he is her doctor now. The other man is confused.

Later, Warren is going over his research, talking about how the "donors" goes more and more animalistic as he draws the fluid from them. The prostitue, in a cage, is acting barbaric, and when he opens the cage to get more fluid she strikes out and escapes. She runs out of the house and Warren tries to follow.

Ryan and Linda are driving from their dinner and suddenly the prostitute runs into the road and they hit her. Linda is shocked and Ryan rushes over to the woman, who grabs him and scares the hell out of him. Ryan runs to a phone booth to call for an ambulance. Linda slowly approaches the woman. Warren comes up and knocks Ryan out, then chases Linda and drags her off as a groggy Ryan watches. Later, Ryan awakens to find Linda gone and the woman in the road dead.

At the lab, Warren is playing classical music, as Linda awakens strapped to the gurney. He apologizes but says he has no choice. He wants to use her to help figure out a way to cure his daughter without using the hypodermic. But he stabs her in the neck and withdraws more fluid, calling her Subject Number Six. He keeps making notes and hopes to remove tissue from Linda and implant it into Amanda.

At the police station, Jack and Micki arrive to see Ryan. The cop says they ID'd the woman in the road, but Ryan says it isn't her when he sees the photo. The cop says prints and dental records say it is, saying she is one of the missing prostitutes. Micki asks about Linda, and the cop thinks whoever took the prostitutes probably has Linda.

Warren wakes his daughter the next day, asking how she is. He says soon he will cure her, and then they will get her mother back, too. He tells her to dress while he gets breakfast. Soon, the doorbell rings. It is a registered nurse sent by Dr. Chadway to keep an eye on Amanda and to make sure he doesn't inject her with anything. He scoffs, but she walks past to find Amanda.

In her room, Amanda at first plays with a stuffed bunny, but soon her head hurts and she stares off, breathing heavy, and tears the toy apart.

Ryan still says the woman wasn't the one in the cops photo. He is shocked by how different she seemed. He also says the man he saw was wearing a lab coat. Jack wonders if the woman was so drastically changed because of a cursed item from the store, and opens the Manifest.

Warren is at Chadway's office, still angry about him installing a nurse to watch over him. Chadway says he has no choice and againa asks what Warren is up to. Warren says he is close to a cure, and tells him about his research. Chadway is skeptical. Warren says he found where the soul exists in a human. He just needs to transplant it into Amanda to cure her. Chadways asks how he's come upon this, if it only exists in humans. Warren wants more time, but Chadway says he is going to call the hospital to come and take Amanda away. He accuses Warren of being the reason Amanda is in this condition.

Pouring over the Manifest, Micki finds an antique silver syringe that was apparently sold to Chadway. Jack says the syringe was from the collection of a man who was hanged and claimed to be Jack the Ripper. Micki finds Chadway in the phone book, and Jack says him and Ryan will go investigate, and tells Micki to go investigate the area the where Ryan and Linda hit the woman.

At night, the nurse is feeding an unresponsive Amanda. The nurse and Warren continue to argue he forcibly shoves her out of the bedroom. He tries to talk to Amanda who throws her dinner tray at him. He gets the syringe out as they struggle and injects her, as the nurse spies on him, shocked.

Micki eventually ends up at Warren's house, heading to the door. Warren catches the nurse on the phone and they struggle. Micki rings the bell. Warren throws the nurse over the railing and down the stairs, killing her. Micki knocks. Warren makes his way down the nurse, and hears Micki. He turns off the lights and unlocks the door. Micki enters and finds the woman at the bottom of the stairs. An unhinged Warren comes up behind her and knocks her out.

Outside, Warren has buried the nurse. Micki wakes in a straightjacket in the cage in the lab, and calls to Linda on the gurney. Linda turns and growls at a shocked Micki. Warren watches from above the enters the lab. Micki tells him to leave Linda alone, but he again draws fluid from her friend. Micki says he's killing her but he says it is a sacrifice to help others. Micki tells him the syringe is cursed, but he says his research is almost done. He makes markings on Linda's head and tells a shocked Micki he is going to look for her soul.

Chadway is on the phone with someone after the nurse's frantic call, then goes back to talking with Jack and Ryan. They want to know about the syringe he bought, Ryan asks where it is. Chadway says he still has it, but when he opens it's case, it's gone. He says Warren had access to his office. He begins to put the clues together about what Warren is up to, telling Jack about Warren researching hyperviolence. Seems he left a tainted needle out and his daughter was infected. Eventually, Chadway had to let the grief-riddled Warren go. Ryan asks where they can find him.

Warren plays more classical music as he begins his operation on Linda. Micki begs him to stop, but he says this will cure his daughter. This is the only way to keep him from having to go on killing. He opens Micki's cage and tapes her mouth.

In the cab, Jack goes over what the needle must be capable of, as their suspicious driver listens in.

Warren starts a drill toward a screaming Linda. Later, he thinks he has found what he was looking for, the source of humanity. He heads to Micki's cage, and uses the syringe on her, withdrawing the fluid from her. Upstairs, he goes to Amanda, already prepped for surgery and brings her downstairs.

Ryan and Jack arrive at Warren's house via the cab and see their car and realize Micki is already here, and hope it's not too late. Jack begins to pick the lock.

Warren is recording his procedure, his plan to remove the tissue with the "soul" from Micki and implant it into Amanda. Micki is already acting differently after the first use of syringe.

Jack and Ryan get inside and search the house. Eventually, Jack hears the animal noises and calls to Ryan. Warren has the drill running and is heading toward Micki, but Ryan begins to break down the door. Warren quickly uses the syringe on Micki, then takes it and Amanda and flees.

Ryan and Jack get in and untie Micki, but she goes wild on them, drooling and attacking Ryan.

Warren tries to leave with Amanda, but gets his rifle first. Amanda begins to regress even more.

Ryan continues to struggle with an out of control Micki, and eventually hits her to knock her out. As they lay her down, Jack notices Warren above with the shotgun, but Amanda jumps him and attacks him. They struggle, Ryan rushes up to help. Warren pulls out the syringe, but Amanda continues to go berserk, and she pushes her father over the railing where he collapses into a glass tank. Ryan is confronted by the crazed child and shuts the door.

Jack sees Warren still holding the syringe in his dead hand, and the drooling, animalistic Amanda watches from above.

At Curious Goods, Ryan is pensive, and asks how Micki is when Jack comes downstairs. Jack says it will be awhile before she comes out of her bedroom. Ryan says she is responding slowly, but Jack says she is improving, and says her tears prove that, the loss of Linda hitting her hard. Ryan says he called the hospital and Amanda was admitted. Ryan asks what would have happened if Warren had found a cure, but Jack says that no one should have suffered like Micki. Ryan agrees, and Jack adds that it isn't right, even if Warren was doing it for love.

My thoughts:

Well, a WTF moment is when Jack sends Micki to go canvas the area where the doc hit Ryan and kidnapped Linda. What? Why send Micki there alone, other than to have her then kidnapped for the plot. Jack wouldn't be that careless. Would have made more sense for Micki to go with him and Ryan go to where the accident happened. Bad writing there.

One of the classic episodes where a friend or relative of the gang gets unfortunately tied up with an antique and loses their life over it. Wonder if people in their family or friend groups began to wonder what was up with that.

The cop must have had some questions about why these three were so tied up with Warren and his crimes, but maybe Micki's condition kept them from looking too deep.

Kudos to Robey for going all in on the performance after Micki has the syringe used on her. She goes truly wild, with drool and mania too boot. Way to commit to your role!

Liked the little ride in the cab, with Jack and Ryan openly wondering about the cursed antique and the driver listening in and growing more and more shocked.

Also like how Micki wasn't just "magically" herself at the end, but needing time to recuperate and become herself once again. The show wasn't afraid of the leads being affected by these antiques. But Micki has been killed (and revived) by one, and now this. Spread the curse, guys. Micki shouldn't be the only one to get the brunt of things.

Next week: Scarlet Cinema
