I’m pretty sure this random spooky school bus will become
relevant. Anyway it serves as a backdrop for the sport of hunting down
underwear clad sex workers with paint guns
This is taking the definition of gun fetish to a whole
new level. Yeah your kink and all that – but this screams of serial killer
training and waaay too many women and waaay too many sex workers are murdered
for me not to think all these men need a sinkhole to jump into.
In the middle of this game one of the women, Laci, falls
into a sink hole and dies. A tragedy that just about no-one cares about, it’s
sad to say. No-one cares about the dead Laci and everyone is quick to want to
return to their fun
Except for Tulip who is enraged. And while she holds the
men in contempt she also throws some gross unnecessary shame at the women. This
is doubly vexing because when Clive, an out and out arsehole who really needs
beating with a stick, points out that the women are making way more money in the
brothel than they would be working other menial jobs (we also have to remember
this when the mayor makes a point about how the town is poor and dying). Gah I
so hate agreeing with arseholes. And it would be nice, if Tulip was calling out
all these arseholes, she wouldn’t throw shame at the sex workers.
At least she does decide to beat Clive with a stick. Except she gets the wrong room – and gets Cassidy instead, knocking him through a window and getting a shard into his neck. Naturally she assumes he’s dying and rushes him to hospital praying and begging for him to live… kissing him on the way with music suggests that Tulip and Cassidy may have just fallen in love? This could be terrible, awesome or terribly awesome or awesomely terrible.
When they arrive at the hospital Cassidy seeks his own
cure – blood. And Tulip knows his secret. That should be fun.
Though I do question when Tulip became so upset at the idea of killing someone?
So where did Cassidy get the money for his little jaunt? Well
after trying and utterly failing to convince Jessie about the angel clones (he
still hasn’t convinced Jessie he’s a vampire) he instead extorts the weird
angels for some money. And succeeds.
The angels – if that’s what they are – are confusing, have
plans involving coffee pots, chainsaws and music and avoiding the powers that
be finding out they’re on Earth. Methinks it’s their fault the godly voice got
out at all.
While Jessie continues to be haunted by memories of his
righteous, strict and violent father he is still pushed to try and get his church
up and running again. Which involves a raffle with a very expensive television
(that fills the pews quickly) and the kind of hell-and-brimstone lecture that
really makes me so glad that I’m not Christian – but he has an Ace up his
sleeve. He has sinister Quincannon villain who has been dramatically evil for
the last few episodes. He has convinced him to come to church and then
unleashed the godvoice on him to convince him to serve god
Personally I think a) using magic to compel people to
follow a religion is really fecking evil
And b) Crusaders, inquisitors, the Westboro Baptist
Church, KKK and Donald Trump all think they’re serving god as well… there’s going
to be some fallback from this.
We also get an introduction to the Mayor who is pining
desperately after Emily, having sex with her but she makes it very very very clear
she’ll never have a relationship. Oh and a sizeable number of his constituents
feel the need to defecate in front of him.
He’s not the most respected elected representative, it
has to be said.
