To sum up the action, there's a crank call and heavy breathing, though in different scenes. And there's a box and a boa and bull, oh my!
Would you believe that someone could own an antique box and never once took a peek inside?
Marie Wallace is no longer playing Eve, but she IS playing the female half of a couple who is the more curious one that falls first to temptation. And we know how that will end. Eve had Nicholas (a snake in the grass for sure) whispering in her ear, but Megan's "apple" is a box with an actual serpent on top (albeit one with 4 heads). I'm rambling, sorry.
Liz to Barnabas: "The ghosts are gone now."
Par. A. Dox.
Why would Maggie let her guard down in front of a stranger who avoids giving his name, and who claims to have known her father well and says he remembers her although she doesn't remember him? And then they have a conversation directly in front of a portrait of her mother but he says nothing about it; if he really was an old friend of Sam's, wouldn't she expect him to recognize the woman who was married to Pop?
KLS tripped a little, oops. And as Taeylor points out under the next episode, Pansy's boa is in the antique shop.
A thing without a soul. What does that mean? I have a general idea, but I find that I'm having trouble nailing down the details.
As I first watched
Buffy's soulless vampires and demons who resented humans and sought to regain their ancient rule of the planet, I was reminded of the writings of Lovecraft but also this part of DS. Of course, this storyline seems to rip off HPL at every turn.
