Geoffrey Scott (Sky Rumson) does the VO.
I like how this ep. uses the power of suggestion to get us to imagine the Supreme Leviathan appearing in all his/its glory to his/its chosen bride: Still screaming, Carolyn backs away from the doors, but she trips over an inconvenient pillow and falls unconscious to the floor on a convenient fur rug. We see the ensuing scene through the Leviathan supreme being’s eyes--or at least through whatever it uses for photoreceptors. The heavy breathing approaches. A huge, formless shadow looms over our insensible heroine as the creatures gazes down at her. After a moment, the breathing slows. The shadow recedes, and the breathing stops altogether. We hear human footsteps, then Jeb Hawkes is at Carolyn’s side. He kneels down, holds her close and murmurs, I couldn’t go through with it. If she could only hear me and understand. Oh, I want you so much to understand. Carolyn murmurs faintly but does not awaken.
Sky approaches the designated bridal suite and listens for a moment outside the door, perhaps with a prurient interest in Leviathan mating practices? In any case, he hears only silence (STILL no sex on this show!)
Also funny to see Jeb's shock and mortified vanity when he talks to Sky right afterward. Well, he is somewhat distressed for Carolyn's sake, but not very much. He seems to find her golden hair just as attractive as Adam did, long ago. He tells Sky to "clean up the evidence"--does he mean those acid-burned holes in the carpet?
Out in the woods, the werewolf clutches its chest in pain--even though Bruno shot it in the ribs.
Elizabeth is in full Mistress of Collinwood mode when Bruno arrives, but then she doesn't even blink when he invites her into her own drawing room, helps himself to Roger's brandy, and puts his feet up on the table. They hear the werewolf howl again, and Bruno decides to find it and finish it off, DESPITE what Jeb told him about silver bullets. A few moments later, Jeb saunters in as if he owns Collinwood and introduces himself to his prospective mother-in-law.
Bruno just misses seeing the werewolf. After he goes by, the creature stops and nurses its shoulder, even though Bruno shot it in the ribs.
Jeb tells Elizabeth that Barnabas is no longer in charge. He tells her, I’ve met Carolyn and I’m very impressed with her. I am as interested in her welfare as you are. She definitely has a future with us, he says as if Carolyn were a candidate for a middle-management job at a widget-making company.
Bruno returns to Collinwood. Elizabeth says goodnight and goes upstairs without showing her visitors out. Jeb charges out to find the werewolf, despite Bruno's warnings. Presumably Bruno stays at Collinwood and helps himself to more of Roger's brandy.
Jeb passes the rocks on his way to the Old House. The werewolf growls from somewhere nearby. Jeb makes a run for the Old House, with the werewolf not far behind. Jeb enters the house, then shuts and locks the door. Barnabas! I need you! he screams but gets no reply. A flash of lightning shows the werewolf staring in through the window; pure terror suffuses Jeb’s face as he spots it. The werewolf suddenly crashes in through the window as Jeb backs away. The creature knocks over a candelabrum, and the room is plunged into darkness.......
