This week’s Penny Dreadful, ‘Above the Vaulted Sky’, was all about scares and sex.
–Madame Kali/Evelyn Poole works on her voodoo doll (or fetish as Vanessa calls it) which is of Malcolm’s wife! It’s horrid. Her daughter Hecate begins to work on the doll for Vanessa
-The whole crew banded together to fend off an attack from the witches. Everyone put to use their own rituals after Ethan told a story from his past when he was soldier in America. A story of attacking a Native American tribe and wiping them off the planet. He told everyone, “We defend our cliff” and use “every weapon at our disposal, every superstition, every ritual, we can’t let ourselves be infiltrated.”
It’s an interesting scene as they prepare, Vanessa prays. We find out Ferdinand is Jewish when he secretly puts on his tillit (prayer shawl) and covers mirrors. Ethan seems to be doing a Native American ritual and Malcolm, well Malcolm holds a gun.
-Ferdinand continues to work the puzzle and finds that there is repetition with the term “lupus dei’ which Ethan translates to “hound of god.” Hmmmmmmm, does that have anything to do with werewolves?
– John Clare/The Creature’s meeting with Lily didn’t go so well. She’s not interested. Victor takes Lily out to tea with Vanessa. Victor is definitely in love with his creation. Later Vanessa sees John at the soup kitchen and they have the most beautiful and poetic conversation which ends with Vanessa insisting they dance.
–Dorian takes Angelique to the opera and some jackass spits in Angelique’s face. Angelique later puts on Dorian’s clothes and Dorian says “I care for who you are, not what you wear.”
THEN THE SEX IS ON PEOPLE!
There’s a storm over London. Evelyn and Malcolm run in the rain. She’s pricked him with her ring to put a spell on him and they bang. Hard. She then pricks him with the ring again. Dorian and Angelique also have sex. Hard. Lily is scared of the rain and runs to Victor’s bed and guess what? They have sex. Theirs is a bit more gentle. Ethan and Vanessa share an intimate moment but no sex for them. Poor John Clare. He’s left out of the sexy times.
While this is going on, Malcolm’s wife succumbs to the voodoo doll’s will – she has hallucinations of her dead children and slits her throat.
Fun times!
Next week on Penny Dreadful, Season 2 Episode 6 ‘Glorious Horrors’, Vanessa and Ethan give Sir Malcolm tragic news; Lavinia Putney is disturbed by an encounter with the Creature; Roper hunts down Ethan; Dorian hosts a lavish ball in Angelique’s honor; a glorious night turns to horror for Vanessa.
