Last week I said I think I was going to finally start liking the Hansel and Gretel story, and this week it got crazy.
Gabe (Davi Santos) and Hannah (Dania Ramirez) are definitely in way over their heads. They have both made some bad decisions but Hannah’s was the worst. I’m glad she made this decision, though, because their storyline just got super intense.
We were teased that people from the various storylines would cross paths. This episode was a prime example of that. Sam (Dorian Missick) is one of the three pigs, but he’s also the guy Dan owes money to, and the guy Billy (Luke Guldan) and Gabe accidentally killed.
Hannah couldn’t leave well enough alone. She got curious. Maybe finding a million dollars seemed like a blessing to her, but Gabe saw it for what it was. He didn’t expect his friend Billy to get killed for it but he knew they shouldn’t keep it. Not that Billy was worth much, but he didn’t deserve to die.
I was quite impressed with Hannah’s moves. She didn’t come away from the fight unscathed, but she did pretty well for herself.
Everything else in this episode was pretty quiet. I guess it had to be with the Hansel and Gretel story being so intense.
I can tell that Jordan (James Wolk) is going to spend a lot of time alone in this show. He’s not grieving well. I like how Kevin Williamson is portraying this character. It’s a very sociological storyline. You’re just waiting for him to snap. The question is when he does, what will he do?
Even Kayla’s (Danielle Campbell) storyline was very tame this week. But I do love her scenes with her grandmother, Colleen (Kim Cattrall), I think her grandmother is just the person she needs right now.
Colleen probably shouldn’t have let Kayla go out. I get that Kayla can talk to Nick (Billy Magnussen) but as he said, there’s enough she has to deal with right now. I did say I wanted them to pursue this relationship, and they are. Now we just have to enjoy the ride and see where it ends up.
I did not like Eddie (Paul Wesley) getting beaten up this week. He’s definitely to blame for where he’s at right now, though, some of the blame does belong on his brother. He’s not a very good influence.
Eddie is the weak link, and I don’t think this ends well for him. I’m just not sure what that ending is yet.
