Pete and Myka head to Philadelphia where people are reporting mass hallucinations and attacking an individual who those hallucinations are projected on. When they find out who’s causing the hallucinations and why, they have to question whether or not the man making others into monsters is a monster himself.
Back in Univille, Claudia, with the help of Jane Lattimer, brings Jinks back to life with the use of Johann Maelzel’s Metranome, but the consequences of their actions have yet to be uncovered. And Artie’s decision to change the past and save the warehouse and his friends haunts him further.
Artifacts in this Episode:
H P Lovecraft’s Silver Key – Anyone who touches the key is seen as a horrific monster, terrifying those around them to madness, and putting their life in danger.
My Thoughts:
I liked how they shot the “monsters.” I’m not sure if they did this specifically for the artistic value of creating a realistic moment of disorientation that would come from being freaked out by a hallucination, or if they realized it would save them money on their special effects budget, but I really enjoyed the piecemeal shots, and not getting a clear picture of what the “thing” looked like.
The secondary arcs, with Jinks’ resurrection and Artie’s further decent into his fervent madness over the potential harm he’s done with the astrolabe, have me waiting for the other shoe to drop. I’m not sure when, or how, but I have a feeling they’re both going to end in disaster.
