We have Nicholas (who admitted to not having the powers he once had) siccing Sky (who is is as powerless as he is clueless) on Angelique (whose powers are at full strength). It's pretty clear who will win that round.
Nicholas to Megan: "Burning a corpse merely disposes of a body; the spirit of that body cannot be burned."
The author of that little nugget was Gordon Russell, who also penned ep #1001 set in 1970 PT in which [spoiler]Quentin torches his wife's coffin in an attempt to destroy both her body and spirit.[/spoiler] Forgetful much?
Nick to Angelique: "How typically female-- you overlook your own deception, but you're furious about his."
This from the man who blasted Jeb for harboring the same feelings for Carolyn that he once had for Maggie. Which makes him a sexist AND a hypocrite.
Ange to Sky: "I've seen the light."
And I bet it wasn't white nor bright nor aimed toward heaven.
Ange to Sky: "You're the one who preached to me about keeping secrets, and ever since we've been married, you have kept the darkest secret of all. You're one of them, aren't you? You're one of the Leviathans."
She has a point-- Sky did declare once upon a time that not keeping secrets was rule #1 for their marriage, but in the hierarchy of dark secret-keeping, is being a Leviathan follower further down than worshipping the Prince of Darkness?
As she prepares to leave her husband, she begins packing the same little blue suitcase that has made the rounds at Collinwood and that probably wouldn't hold enough toiletries, clothing and shoes to get her through a single day.
(PS, the flame on that torch was beautiful.) I didn't see any particular internal struggle, but in the closing scene, at least he managed to get some enthusiasm into his voice as he held the fire out to Angelique.
Sky bad. Fire pretty.
