Dont go in there.
By my count, this makes the fifth resident specter in Hill House so far.
One in episode two: the little girl in the blue dress.
And a big one in episode three: the thing in the basement.
Im not counting the disembodied voice calling through the intercom.
Which raises an interesting question: Does each of the children get their own ghost?
(Although Luke now has three, which seems …
I would have expected more background on the hauntings by now, but Flanagan has chosen the opposite tack.
Now its time for Luke, maybe the most wrecked of them all.
Now hes embarking on the infamous Fourth Step, a fearless moral inventory.
By the time the scene comes around again, we know Steves an asshole and Lukes telling the truth.
Hes desperate not for a fix but to help Joey, whos just blown her nine months of sobriety.
(Will we find out what drove her to leave the rehab center?)
He cant save anyone, but he tries.
Big boys know the difference between whats real and whats imaginary, Hugh tells young Luke.
I started to hate him at that moment.
In the end, it doesnt matter.
The human cost is the same.
The new Luke, obviously, is nothing like him.
The house number is 696, I guess because 666 would be too obvious.
Olivia demonstrates some more of her psychic abilities: this time its deja vu.
Also lots of case goods (I had to look it up) and leather upholstery.
Now Im suspecting the problem is that Steve doesnt want children, and who can blame him?
The only sibling with kids is Shirley, and she had them with … Mr. Harris.
