Grayson VO. Quentin's latest private conversation with Charity to keep her from talking takes a strange turn for a minute, as he appears to be trying to buy her off with a seduction. Is he that clueless, so convinced of his "charms" no matter what the situation? I think I'd thought earlier that this was sarcasm from Q, but the lines don't quite make sense as sarcasm. Anyway, even the crazy ass Victorian thing they're sitting on doesn't lend enough of a romantic mood to carry that one off.
He's able to use the confession letter to put in place a sort of blackmail stalemate, however.
Cut to Aristede engaged in some cartoonish primping in a mirror. I'm not sure that this gesture he does, picking at that spot below one ear, actually affects one's looks any, but it does get across "primping".
Strange things are happening. This ep is a sort of grab bag of possibly contrived stuff. Petofison/Aristede get Magda to work on getting the Hand back somehow. So Magda pumps Charity for information on where Tim might be by nudging her into wanting Tim to come home for some reason, maybe for the truth about Mom's murder, and having her get info on Tim with which to cast some finding spell I'm sure she's incapable of, though Angelique could probably do it.
So where is Angelique, what's she spending her time doing, what's her hangout like, is she reading any good books... what's she do when she's off by herself and where?
Suddenly Q's daughter is ill too, Julianka having waited to do in the daughter for some reason. Someone, Magda maybe, put Q onto the idea of physically stealing Aristede's anti-witch medallion, so Q breaks and enters into the Lair, where Aristede is asleep, conveniently on the sofa fully clothed and ready for a fight, which ensues. Q gets the amulet.
Mrs. Fillmore, the child's nurse or guardian, looks very familiar, the actress. Q gets the contrived dumb idea of calling on Julianka yet again to ask her to stop with the cursing already, as if that hasn't been proven to tick her off severely. Magda insanely agrees. Time being money, and with the clock fast approaching bum bum BUM time, Magda performs an impromptu one-person seance with the lights on, by grabbing the candalabrum (?) sitting next to her, already lit, and asking Julianka to come. Really, that's all the seance involved. A woman standing there, grabbing lighted candles and speaking. I've got to get me some candles. On DS, look at a candle, cast a spell!
A ghost appears...
