Alex (Natalie Dormer) needs him in tip-top form and that means no more nightly encounters at the rest stops we see later in the episode. That maybe Raul has no heartbeat.īut the narrative doesn’t answer this (maybe Terry-created) enigma and instead we get a kind of hilarious scene of Councilman Townsend (Michael Gladis) at a gym using one of those olden vibrating exercise belts that, I guess, is supposed to jiggle the fat away. But it’s weird that it’s the answer to “how are you feeling?” There’s a part of me that thinks that maybe the action is the answer to Tiago’s question.

The third episode of City of Angels opens on the blackened and burnt corpses of Anton and Sam, who were executed in their car before being pushed down a hill. It’s a much slower-paced episode that barely touches on the main plot thread of the Hazlett murders until the denouement powerfully rips away any lingering magic spent at a boardwalk carnival at the golden hour. And that’s just what “Wicked Old World” does. To me, Penny Dreadful was at its best when it focused on its wonderful characters, building out their relationships and their backgrounds. I’m curious to hear your thoughts about this episode because, honestly, this was my favorite so far. Peter Craft discovers a dark truth at Elsa's home.
