“It isn’t a power. It’s a curse. This is our trouble.” – Duke
“Lay Me Down” is hands down the best episode of Haven so far this season. There is a plethora of drama, mystery, a delightfully scary new trouble, and of course, chivalry and romance. In a look back from last week’s episode “Countdown,” we know Jordan (Kate Kelton) met her demise at the hands of Wade Crocker (Christian Camargo). But Jordan is the one who put nasty thoughts into Wade’s head, making him think he’s someone “special,” not thinking Wade would turn on her as he did. She underestimated the power of the blood’s euphoric properties and Wade’s inability to resist.
Some Dreams Aren’t So Bad…
Brotherly Love?
Admittedly, I never warmed up to Wade but I think that’s the angle Camargo wanted to go with his character. He isn’t supposed to be well liked. Wade is the mysterious older brother who swoops into town after Duke venture into the barn. Duke pieces together the sinister happenings around Haven, thus testing the bonds of brotherhood when he realizes Wade has been on a killing spree. Pushed to the edge when Wade threatens to hurt Jennifer (Emma Lahana), Duke must make a decision but the ramifications may change his destiny.
Bullet Magnet Even In Dreams
I’ve missed Dwight (Adam Copeland). He’s not really had a prominent presence for a few episodes and I hope the writers utilize and capitalize on Copeland’s subtle yet effecting acting skills. I’m anxious to find out what he and Vince are working on in an effort to end the troubles. I am also curious to find out what Dwight will do when he finds out Lexie is really Audrey. I’m just glad he didn’t die in his dream. What a crappy trouble to have – bullet magnet.
The Trouble of the Week
Interesting lines/scene
After Lexie notices a strange hand print on Carrie’s back, she poses an interesting theory:
Lexie: “It’s a mark that only I can see. Maybe that’s why her trouble mutated or spread to other people.”
Nathan: “That’s not how the troubles work.”
Lexie: “Yeah, but what if it’s all changing?”
When Nathan shot Agent Howard at the end of last season, he set off a chain of events. Perhaps this is one of them.
In Nathan’s naked classroom dream, teacher Lexie demands an answer to the question on the board:
“Who do you love?”
a) Audrey Parker
b) Sarah Vernon
c) Lexie DeWitt
d) None of the above
e) All of the above
Just when I think Nathan is going to cower away from his feelings as he walks abruptly out of Lexie’s apartment…all I can say is FINALLY! After three and a half seasons…finally!
