As you recall, last episode Dylan revealed himself to Nick when he murdered, Teressa. Nick is plagued by the thought of the danger that he put his family in and is terrified of Dylan. It seems to me, what this incident really points out is that Nick is a control freak -- big surprise considering that he is a cop. Nick demands to know what happened to Teressa's body, as Dylan tries desperately to make him realize that they need to relax and cover for each other because a lot is at stake. When Nick continues to press, Dylan answers him with, "I am going to make this easy for you: holy water, it doesn't effect me it never has; that was the Vatican pure machine working overtime furthermore, I don't sleep in a coffin, and I can see my reflection in the mirror, garlic on the other hand, well that does effect me but then heartburn would do that to someone." That has to go down as line of the night.
What I find very interesting is the way that Andie's succubus nature is being used to have a discussion regarding safe sex. When she asks her father about her parents sexual relationship, he admits that they had to be very careful and that many times her mother did indeed hurt him. He listed the excuses that he used to cover their sexual interactions, which often left him bed ridden. He tries to encourage Andie to take the medication her doctor is recommending, rather than attempting to control this on her own, but Andie does not listen and still meets Charlie behind her fathers back, giving him a small kiss. Unfortunately for Andie, what her father did not tell her, is that he was forced to kill her mother when she lost control of her succubus side. This to me speaks about the ways in which we try to encourage our youth to have safe sex because it leads to disease and unwanted pregnancy. Andie's reaction is very typical of a teenager-- a ridiculous belief that they are somehow the exception to the rule.
Devon continues to be mysterious. She talks Vanessa, the current wife of her ex-husband Frank Buckley into giving her an invitation to the welcome party for the chief by saying that all is forgiven. Seriously, do they have to paint all the women without extra powers as dim? Who in their right mind would believe this? Devon uses the opportunity to break into Frank's safe and remove a cd. At the end of the show, we see Buckley reviewing footage of Dylan murdering Theresa in front of Nick. He labels the CD with their names and places it into his safe
On a show that already has too many characters, why oh why are they adding another one? Clearly this man is going to use this information to blackmail Nick and Dylan at a future date. The problem with living in a communities like the gates, is that you are always being watched. Eventually the very cameras that are there supposedly to protect you, end up trapping you.
On the preview for next week's the show, Dylan and Nick come together to solve what appears to be a vampire murder inside the gates. I swear, if they turn this to into Starsky and Hutch I am outta here. If these two are going to have a relationship, they better stay true to Dylan's vampire nature.
