Lisa Richards annoys the hell out of me here. Her RT counterpart was also capable of stubbornness and incredible persistence, but PT Sabrina's attempts to force the seance just come across as crazy-mad. And what decent psychiatrist would encourage a victim of a recent physical assault to relive the 6-month-old trauma of watching somebody die, and without even being present himself, or think that doing so would be the least bit therapeutic?
Roger: "Why does she insist upon the seance?"
Cyrus: "Evil. Moments of evil. It's the only explanation that I can think of."
It seems very telling that Cyrus would admit aloud that Yaeger is capable of "moments of evil" yet he doesn't halt the experiment.
So, we learn that Cyrus, Sabrina, Roger, Liz, Bruno and Angelique participated in the original seance. I'm not sure I understand the significance of leaving an empty chair for Quentin; was he originally a participant, and if Angelique "knew that Quentin hated her interest in the occult," why was there a chair for him at all?
ECS to Q: "Maybe that's why life is so difficult-- we don't know what our responsibilities are." Cryptic but it sounds significant.
Unfortunately, that moment is immortalized in the blooper set because a camera came into view. Not to be outdone, the boom mic also makes a couple of appearances in the ep, most notably (?) above the seance.
And speaking of sisters, did Quentin call Elizabeth his sister? That would make everything very simple genealogically, although it would suggest that Quentin is older than Roger, which I find hard to swallow. And anyway, I just don't see this Quentin and this Elizabeth as brother and sister.
I'm not sure they are either. When Quentin first brought Maggie home, he introduced his bride to Liz saying, "This is my cousin, Elizabeth Stoddard." He did call her sister in this ep, but he seemed to stammer a little, so maybe Selby misspoke.
Too short a skirt on Liz.
And why was she all in black?
I am curious to know how Cyrus is able to afford a giant diamond for his fiancee and three-piece suits for himself.
Angelique was a very generous benefactor?
Why would Sabrina all of sudden, go back to the months before.
It would seem like she would want to go back to where she was happy.
I think they were going for the idea that Sabrina's subconscious repressed the memory of what happened at the seance until the new trauma brought it to her conscious mind. Or something.
Yet it seemed sloppy that it wasn't Yaeger's attack that made her regress 6 months, but the dream she had afterward of the attack.
The popup liquor cabinet is pretty cool.
