icepixiePaul has a purpose! And we have an explanation for why he hung around even when "Beth" was effectively going nuts! Granted, he's still a big hunk of boring, but at least there's an explanation for why he's boring up my screen.
Also good: INTERROGATION VIA HOT GLUE GUN. Oh, Alison, you are my very favorite. And then getting high and sleeping with your best friend's husband in the parking lot of the skating rink, because you just have NO IDEA how to do this wild, bad girl thing, do you?
Speaking of the skating rink, ahahaha, of course she's a skatemom. Figure skating coaching is not exactly the kind of thing you can do on a soccer mom basis, since you need to actually know what you're doing, but since they're in Canada and probably have packed Learn to Skate classes, I can cut them a believability break and imagine that a particularly compulsive mom like Alison would, if she were a former skater herself and were to go through the training and certifications and get insurance and whatnot, be given a few early level kid classes to teach. Especially since she has some kind of sports science degree. (But dood, what the hell kind of skates was Ainsley carrying? The ankles would flop over if you touched them! My entry-level freestyle boots have way stiffer everything than that. Were they figure boots? Or possibly crappy sporting goods store boots? [/cares way too much])
Max Headroom fellow is freaky, but interesting. Glad we're seeing some of the bigger picture, sort of.
I feel kind of bad for both Cosima and Delphine for different reasons.
I have a sneaking suspicion Angie, the other girl detective, is hiding something, but I don't know what it is. She's pretty fun anyway, though.
I forgot to mention before, but: "Art Bell." Writers, I see what you did there.
Now the bad stuff:
Um, I know Donnie is meant to be a big stupid lug, but even a big stupid lug would surely be on the phone to a lawyer and/or psychiatrist right after being released from the craft room-cum-torture chamber instead of crying about how it was all his fault, right? I'm sure Sarah's anti-pep talk did something to his brain, but surely it didn't do that much damage?
In Kira vs. car, I hate to admit it, but I was kind of rooting for the car. That kid is just irritating. Also, was she supposed to have magic powers to known Elena was outside the door, or was that just a lucky guess? (Also also, how stupid is this kid to wander off with strangers like that?)
