Lacey VO, sounding nicer this time, unTraskish. Quentin's daughter is named Lenore, [spoiler] whom he will soon see nevermore.[/spoiler] As they tried to summon Julianka, they got Jenny, fortunately. Julianka would have found some way of doubling or multiplying everyone's curses. Quentin, maybe he would henceforth be a glow-in-the-dark werewolf, so he'd be found more easily. Magda ... maybe she'd destroy people by thinking about them for two seconds, or by not entirely hating them. See, it's tough to come up with curses for these people, that can top the ones they've already got...
It's a good thing Jenny popped in fast, because leading up to her appearance, that baby bed was rocking like crazy. I hope little Lenore had a safety belt. Touching visit with Sane Jenny. Hi, Sane Jenny. I do wonder sometimes if after death, or as death approaches, all becomes clear, and the fog living beings live their lives in blows away.
I love Ed the butler. I wish Louis had played that butler for real, in a storyline. Very competent, very scrupulous, decent... this can't be the Edward inside. He's everything Ed isn't. Violet Welles likes to throw in great hints of backstory and realistic touches, such as when Edward talked about how servants can be taunted and mistreated by people they're compelled to serve. The story widens with these moments, as if another whole story has been squeezed successfully into a mere moment of this story...
If he really was who he thinks he is, Butler Ed would be perfectly sane. I mean, within the confines of his altered identity, he's sensible and able to deal with life well. [spoiler]The same might be said of Charity Faye, eventually. She settles into a personality that has a good time and can take care of herself just fine, with a good heart. The classic trollop with the heart of gold...[/spoiler]
The exception to Butler Ed's relative sanity and stability, though, is his attempted murder of Quentin, which this episode ends on. He saw doom ahead for himself at Q's hands, but not only is it murder, but Edward could have strolled out the front door, rather than attacking his supposed captor.
With what emotions we can only imagine, Quentin watches his only glimpse of the family life he might have enjoyed but so carelessly threw away.
I liked that, DL.
