You can't escape what you are. No matter who you save, or who you love."

The carriage scene (How I think it will happen)

I think Ethan, after realizing what he did at the pub, and probably finding out what he is, will try to run away…again. Vanessa will try to stop him (that’s why she’s inside the carriage with him) but in the middle of this, heated, conversation, the witches make their first appearance, scaring them a hair away from death. Also, to add to the danger (and to have fun I’m sure) the witches will flip the carriage on its side, speak the language of the devil, and probably make Vanessa say a thing or two in this language as well. After all that, Ethan decides he needs to stay by Vanessa’s side to protect her.

“You cannot escape what you are. No matter who you save, or who you love."

1. I’m so glad Sembene made out alive after Ethan’s transformation.
2. I love it that Sembene does’t say much but when he says something, you better believe it’s something wise and it’ll probably leave you thinking about it for weeks.
3. Yes, Sembene, never mind Ethan, tell us what you saw!
4. Female hysteria. Hahahaha! Malcolm is so gone at this point.
5. I hate so much that Vanessa never knows wtf is happening. Her answer to everything is, “I don’t know.” How? You saw them! Smh.
6. I love that Victor went, “Wait. Lol. You don’t believe her?” You can almost see that Victor knows Malcolm is more vag whipped than him.
7. And Ethan goes, “I’m coming with you” and Vanessa, “I’m not sure.” And Ethan, “No, lol. You misunderstood. I’m telling you I’m coming with you.”
8. Right there, when Lyle told them not to say where they were going was the moment when everyone should’ve been like, “Wait, why are you saying this? How do you know so much? Who are you?” And more importantly, “How do you get your hair to stay up, no matter what you do?”
9. Malcolm is hilarious! Man, you are a poppet. You are the must unreliable person in this show right now.
10. Why trust Ethan to go with her? Um, because she likes him? Look at him, Malcolm; come on you’d take him with you too, don’t deny it.
11. I like that Vanessa told Victor where they are going. I was getting a little worried about that. I mean, I want Ethan and Vanessa to be alone together in a faraway place but,  I still want people to know where they are, just in case.
12. Vanessa is like, “Ok Malcolm needs our care but you deal with him for me, please. I need to do me for now. Also, don’t worry about your cousin; she’ll come around, if not, we’ll talk later.”
13. I noticed that Vanessa didn’t have to do anything to Ethan so he’d be able to go inside the house. That’s why Roper will be able to go right in as well.
14. Why is Ethan even asking Vanessa where should he go? Come on, Ethan, don’t play the gentleman with us.
15. Why does Ethan think he belongs in the Indian Graveyard in Arizona? Is it because he thinks he’s a roaming soul? Is it because he thinks he’s one of them? Or is it because he thinks he deserves to be there after killing so many of them?
16. I don’t blame Vanessa for not liking trees. I wouldn’t either or angry mobs, or branding tools.
17. “My God, let him be happy.” I like that Vanessa wishes Malcolm happiness, even if it means losing him.
18. Okay. Why in the fuck is Ethan bringing up Brona? Is it a hint from the show letting us know he belongs with her? If it is, they’ll receive an angry email from me. All in capitals to emphasize my point.
19. So, from this conversation, I’m understanding that Ethan sees Vanessa as a sister? Okay, my ship is sinking.
20. Why is Ethan telling Vanessa she’ll make a good wife of someone else? So, Ethan isn’t even considering them being together at all? It’s like he’s saying, “Yes, you’re hot and I like you but not for me, no. Let someone else have you. That makes total sense.” Why? Does he feel unworthy of her? Or does he feel she’s unworthy of him? My ship. My poor ship!
21. I guess this little Ethan’s story is to let us know how big of an a-hole his father was and to show a little bonding experience between Ethan and Vanessa.
22. Oh? So, Vanessa had an older sister. I wonder what happened to her. My guess is, she’s alive and hates Vanessa.
23. Okay. Ethan just went from laughing, bonding, and sharing cute stories to bat-sit crazy.
24. Wait, how is it possible that there was another full moon so soon? Hadn’t they just arrived there a few days ago? Did a month go by so fast? Ethan should carry a calendar with him at all times imo.
25. Is chopping down the tree Ethan’s way of saying, “I’m sorry for being an a-hole last night”?
26. Vanessa, he ate like 20 sheep last night, of course he’s not hungry and, by the way, he didn’t bring you any. Selfish.
27. Omg! Just tell her, Ethan! Why is he keeping the secret? Sembene knows already. How is he going to protect her if she doesn’t know what he is? And more important, why haven’t they kissed? I mean, they’re caressing each other’s faces and staring into each other’s eyes. What’s it going to take? But no, Ethan just changed the subject. [Heavy, heavy sigh]
28. I think this advice, Ethan is giving Vanessa, about shooting will come in handy on future episodes.
29. Oh? Ethan doesn’t know how to dance, thanks to his father, of course. Well, he doesn’t need it to get girls; he’s tall, he’s cute, and knows how to shoot.
30. “It’s the opposite of homicide.” Hahaha! And Ethan is so nervous too. Aw!
31. I’m loving this marital scenes. My ship may make it after all!
32. “Too much salt.” No one gives a crap about Vanessa’s advice when it comes to cooking. Hahaha!
33. Aw! Ethan even practices on his own. Yassss! My ship is getting stronger by the minute!
34. I’m melting watching them smile as they dance. I wish a priest would materialize and marry them right now.
35. Damn you wind, for interrupting my moment! I mean, their moment.
36. Oh? Do I sense Ethan making a move? Yassss!
37. Damn you thunder, for ruining yet another moment. [Rolls eyes]
38. Never mind. Bless you thunder! I love you!
39. Omg! Ethan picked her up like nothing. Go, Ethan! My ship is the strongest ship right now! [Heart eyes]
40. Wait, WTF? “We are dangerous”? What? After all that touching him and giving him hints. After all those looks and flirting she says “No.” What a fucking disappointment, Vanessa. Leave him alone, then. He finally, after an endless battle inside his head, makes the move and she rejects him? Nvm. My ship is the most confused ship ever.
41. Fortunately for Ethan, it was already raining outside.
42. I love it how Victor tries to rationalize love. Sorry but that won’t help you hurt any less my friend.
43. Wait, so Caliban/John and Brona/Lily are hidden ones? Is Victor contributing to make an army of demons?
44. “And if I don’t believe in God?” Hahaha! Victor is the best.
45. I like that Lyle went, “I don’t really care whether you believe or not. This is going to happen.”
46. “The demon, the hound, and the scorpion, endlessly circling one another.” Does this mean that the devil is bad, Ethan is good, and Vanessa is the one who can change the odds depending on which side she decides to join? Because, if Vanessa marries the devil, it’ll be the coming of the beast but, what will happen if she marries Ethan? Is Ethan meant to kill her to save humanity?
47. They decided to ignore the kiss? Okay, cool then but it happened, guys, just fyi.
48. Vanessa needs to stop feeling sorry for herself, man. I’m tired of it. Ethan too.
49. There you go again with the hints, Ethan. Just tell her! “We have claws for a reason.” Is way longer than, “I’m a werewolf.”
50. “Who the fuck are you?” I love it that Ethan jumped to defend Vanessa. Good for you, Ethan!
51. What’s the purpose of this guy talking about feeding his dogs? We all know he’s an asshole already.
52. This fucker has to go down.
53. Ethan needs to stop telling Vanessa who she is.
54. Why is Ethan even angry at Vanessa for wanting to avenge Joan? He knows the story. He knows that man branded her. The man threatened to return with his people again and kill her. Wtf is he going to do? He can’t change at will. Is he going to shoot and kill all those people when they come for Vanessa? Is he so naïve that he’s willing to take that risk?
55. Why is Ethan trying to guilt-trip Vanessa?
56. “Don’t you want me to have friends?” Come on, Lily. You don’t want Dorian as a friend. Don’t try to fool us girl.
57. Poor Victor. You’re doing the right thing, for once.
58. Lily is all like, “I’m so innocent. Hehehe.” And Dorian’s like, “No, you aren’t.” Hahaha!
59. There you go, Lily. Now you know the truth.
60. Poor Caliban/John. Always in watching from afar people falling in love.
61. Aw! Ethan was going to kill the man to save Vanessa.
62. Wait. If Vanessa can do that to that man, why hasn’t she used it already on Evelyn? Is it because the devil will take her over?
63. Why is Lily turning tricks? She had always hated being a prostitute.
64. Okay, Lily is powerful. She flipped that man like nothing.
65. So, Lily is a psychopath now? Mkay. Hahaha! I bet Ethan is going to love that.
66. Oh, no. Ethan’s coming back and he’s pissed off.
67. I don’t understand why Ethan is being so judgmental. He has killed man, women, and babies. He’s in no position to judge anyone. Is it because Vanessa is not a saint as he wanted her to be?
68. “Do you know what that is, little girl?” Ok. So Ethan moved from being passive-aggressive to straight up dick. Why the need to project all the bullshit he has done on to her? Vanessa killed that man to protect herself and to avenge Joan, why has Ethan killed people? Stfu, Ethan. Just because you are a killer it doesn’t mean she will become one.
69. Why did he say, “Welcome to the night, Vanessa.” Is Vanessa a nightcomer now? And how does Ethan know about that?
70. Well, my ship doesn’t exist anymore I think.

Yes. I think Brona feels like a goddess right now and wants to be worshipped by the world, especially men.

I'd love it if the portrait could speak but I doubt it. I think it moves every time he does something evil. I think Dorian's portrait is a demon in chains. So, Dorian's true self, to me, is a demon.

Yes, they're all slaves to something. Dorian to his portrait and Ethan to the moon. Victor to his creations and Van to her Demon. Malcolm to his past but what about Sembene?

I think Evelyn's specialty is to torment people with their guilt and regrets. With the things that hunt them down at night in their dreams. Things people choose to forget because they're too painful. It wouldn't surprise me if Vanessa saw her mother, Mina, Peter and Joan.

I think Hecate wants Ethan for herself like Evelyn wanted Malcolm. Another theory might be that Hecate wants to get on the good side of her master and bring him an offering in the form of the hound of God. ;D

85 Thoughts on And Hell Itself My Only Foe

1. Ahh! What a lovely night...Wait.
2. Omg! Roper could’ve killed Ethan in his sleep!
3. How did Roper fit through that window?
4. Hahaha! Roper's laugh.
5. Omg, Vanessa! Why did you have to call Roper names while he's pointing a gun at Ethan?   Thankfully he liked it. Ahem...
6. Hands down, Roper's face is scarier than Dorian's portrait.
7. Of course he wants Ethan's hands tied behind his back. [Rolls eyes]
8. I can't believe this guy still wants to take Ethan back to America! Look at what he did to you, man. You should be wanting to kill him. But, hey, what do I know.
9. Ethan is hilarious. All he does is threat people. "If you do this, I'll kill you. If you do that, I'll kill you" Stop, Boo. Just, stop.
10. Wait. Roper has scalped women and had sex with them afterwards? Ew.
11. Man, Vanessa can take a beating! Plus, she has awesome knife skills. Go Vanessa!
12. I wish Ethan did that trick guys do in movies, in which they jump while swinging their arms forward and, ta-da, their hands are in their front again but, hey, biting is cool too.
13. Aw! Ethan stepped in front of Vanessa...and got a KNIFE IN THE SHOULDER!
14. Wow! What a horrible way to die. Being stabbed about 50 times, just to make sure, while getting kicked on the face at the same time. Go Vanethan!
15. Hahaha! And for a moment Vanessa and Ethan are like "Is he dead? Is he dead? Oh, god, good." [Both exhale]
16. I can't believe Ethan is still angry at Vanessa for killing that other guy last week. Ethan, let it go. She took a beating for you! Well, maybe to get out of getting scalped, then raped, but still.
17. And once again, Ethan misses an opportunity to tell Vanessa what he is... [Heavy, heavy sigh]
18. Thank goodness Victor carries his doctorly supplies with him everywhere.
19. "The witches castle." Victor never misses an opportunity to be sarcastic. Lol.
20. I'm thinking that room Malcolm is in, projects people's guilts back to them in 3D.
21. Why does Evelyn look so weak all of a sudden? What happened?
22. Hecate keeps calling Evelyn old. Hahaha!
23. Omg! Rusk again! Ethan should just kill him already.
24. Ethan is like, "Me, live here? Never! lol" while screaming internally.
25. Oh? So Ethan's name is Ethan Lawrence Talbot? Why do these people keep changing the characters' names? First Brona to Lily, then Caliban to John, and now Ethan? Wtf? It's hard to keep up with this crap! Btw, Lawrence? Kill me now...
26. So, Ethan was born in New Mexico in 1857? He’s 35! Ok. Finally they let us know something about him.
27. Poor Sembene. Now he's Ethan's babysitter on the full moons. By the way, how is it a full moon again?
28. Finally Mr. Lyle came clean but Victor is having none of it. Hahaha!
29. How did Vanessa's lip healed so fast? She didn’t have that power before.
30. Hahaha! "Okay, everyone, we're going to rescue Sir Malcolm." But Ethan is like, "Um, no, we aren't." Vanessa looks at him like, "Excuse me?" And Ethan goes, "I said hell to the no." And wastes yet another opportunity to tell her what he is. I've lost count already. [Growls]
31. Vanessa, my dear, you're getting a little overconfident. Just saying.
32. I love how Vanessa tells Ethan his faith is not strong enough. It's not. He doesn't believe in her anymore.
33. "We go tomorrow. In the day, all of us. We save that man, kill that woman, and all her like. It will be unholy slaughter." Ah, Sembene. You are the best!
34. Mr. Putney smiles way too much. One can never trust people who smile too much...
35. "True evil is, above all things, seductive." Poor Caliban/John. He's so wise. I love him. "A mirror. Nothing but a mirror."
36. I think Dorian is wearing the same clothes he wore when he first met Brona.
37. Lol. Brona trying to sound like she doesn't remember everything.
38. Yassss! I love that Dorian is not a stupid man.
39. Brona is trying so hard to play Dorian.
40. "Kneel, boy." Ahem. Brona, my dear, Dorian is older than you.
41. Victor, get a grip, man! You better survive this season, damn it!
42. Lol. Victor trying to scientifically explain why he's not a junkie.
43. Aw! Vanessa and Victor sharing a brother/sister moment.
44. I like that Vanessa tried to give Victor a little hope.
45. Precisely, Sembene! Make Ethan come to his senses. He needs to tell Vanessa what he is!
46. Vanessa has no limits? Mkay.
47. Ethan keeps taking his anger out on everyone. Why? Wtf is wrong with him?
48. Finally! At last they told us something about Sembene.
49. Aw! Sembene and Ethan are bros now.
50. Wtf is Hecate doing in Ethan's room?
51. How can Ethan move his arm? He was stabbed on the shoulder! Please don't tell me that NOW he can heal quickly because he didn't have that power before.
52. Hecate is proposing Ethan to serve him? I thought Ethan couldn't be evil. Hmm...
53. Ethan can only be killed with silver bullets. At least they kept that werewolf aspect in the show.
54. Why in the fuck did Hecate kiss Ethan? And why did he let her and allowed her live? He knows what she is! He knows she and her witch friends have been tormenting Vanessa! He pretty much told her to eff off when he first saw her! Wtf?  Oh, no! I know where this is going... [Growls again.]
55. Of course Vanessa leaves the house alone, without help, just like Malcolm. [Sighs] they're related, alright.
56. Lavinia is awfully talkative tonight.
57. I can't believe Lavinia did that to Caliban! Wtf? Fuck you, Lavinia! And to think I was shipping Caliban with you.
58. "Find out." Hahaha! Dorian dgaf.
59. What is it with people biting tonight? And how does Brona know that Dorian can heal?
60. Lyle. You are in no position of being judgmental, mkay.
61. Hahaha! Lyle got the smallest gun ever...and loved it!
62. It seems that everyone keeps ignoring Sembene on this episode!
63. Oh? 'Let it'? Okay, Ethan.
64. Again, fuck you Lavinia and your whole family as well. Never trust people who smile all the time...
65. How can Dorian be so careless? He showed Brona the way to his painting! For sure Brona will steal it now and get money, probably other things too, out of him.
66. Wait. Dorian can only heal if he looks at the painting? Interesting...
67. It looks like Evelyn doesn't believe in locking her doors.
68. I hope Vanessa brought a knife with her.
69. No, Evelyn, you're not bored with Malcolm. You're bitter because he refused you.
70. Why is Vanessa wasting time talking with Evelyn instead of killing her?
71. Wow, Hecate. "I still taste him." How old are you? 13? Please, just drop dead. [Rolls eyes]
72. And she's still talking with Evelyn! Wtf?
73. This is extremely poor planning. Why would the only two assassins out of that group leave together?
74. So now Sembene not only has to worry about, Vanessa, Ethan, Malcolm, Victor, and Lyle's life, without counting his own, but has to worry about killing Ethan if he gets out of hand? Great. You guys suck.
75. OMG! Ethan is going to kill Sembene! I hate Hecate so much!
76. And now Victor is trapped as well...with Malcolm who's insane now.
77. Omg! Proteus!
78. Ethan, why you keep being mean to Sembene? Chill, damn it!
79. Thank goodness Sembene stopped Ethan from killing himself.
80. Why would Ethan want to kill himself, by the way? Where did all the, let's-protect-Vanessa, go? Sembene told you to stay, and what did you say? "Let it."
81. I feel bad for Ethan. I think he can't take being what he is anymore and is having a moment of weakness like Vanessa, begging someone to end his life.
82. "I'm just a man, but you have been chosen by God. My friend, Ethan Chandler." Sembene is the true hero and protector of Penny Dreadful.
83. The dolls can speak?
84. NOOO! Ethan is killing Sembene!
85. [Cries for 20 years]

On Ethan
I think the reason why Ethan has been acting so strange lately is because he's overwhelmed. He just can't take it anymore and after Sembene told him what he is, he just couldn't deal with it. Plus Rusk constantly harassing him, Roper threatening him, and having to deal with Vanessa at the same time was probably more than he could bear. I think he reached his breaking point when he knew he was going to kill Sembene. That's why, like Vanessa asked him, he asked Sembene to end his life. It's interesting to realize that, although, Ethan is a werewolf and after all the strength he shows, he's just a man like everyone else and his life is a constant torment, just like Vanessa's. I think that sometimes he wants to be free. I think he sometimes wants to let his ‘demon’ take over as well.

84 Thoughts on, And They Were Enemies

1. OMG! Sembene is gone… [Cries forever]
2. Oh? So, it was the doll talking to Vanessa. I knew it!
3. It’s kind of weird to hear a doll with Vanessa’s face and voice calling Vanessa “My beloved.”
4. I like that Vanessa has always known they can’t take her soul.
5. Why is Evelyn almost crying?
6. “You have no power to tempt me. I have faced eyes more cruel than yours, woman.” Hahaha! You go, Vanessa!
7. This witches and their hissing. [Snores]
8. Poor Victor. He’s tormented as well by his guilt over his creations.
9. Okay. I’m bored with those three tormenting Malcolm.
10. Poor Victor. He’s too fragile as it is.
11. All these bastards want to make Malcolm and Victor kill themselves! NO!
12. OMG! This is heartbreaking. The perfect family, the perfect children, and Ethan as the perfect husband.  A loving husband at that. They look so happy together. How cruel because Vanessa knows it will never become a reality.
13. Hahaha! Ethan just wanted an hour with Vanessa. Aw! [Cries forever]
14. It’s so sad to see Vanessa’s smile slowly vanishing.
15. Poor Vanessa. How much more suffering must she endure?
16. At least the doll let us know Vanessa is in love with Ethan.
17. “Kiss me.” Who would ever kiss a doll that looks exactly like them? Eff that.
18. And the doll closed her eyes and opened her mouth! Ewww!
19. I hope Vanessa didn’t mean it when she said she doesn’t want a normal life anymore.
20. Verbis Diablo throw down! I’m team Vanessa.
21. Hahaha! Evelyn is just screaming like she did in season one!
22. “Beloved, know your master.” I love that line. Finally Vanessa showed her true power!
23. Evelyn freaking out because she’s losing her beauty is the best.
24. And just like that, Ethan killed her. [Sighs] He could’ve done that in the beginning of the season and Sembene would still be alive… But yay! Ethan, the protector, Chandler, I mean, Talbot. Ah, whatever.
25. OMG! Werewolf Ethan recognized Vanessa! Yasss! But he didn’t let her touch him. Aw.
26. That witch stayed hissing at Lyle for 15 minutes? Useless!
27. “Never underestimate the power of a queen with lovely hair, my dear.” Hahaha! Mr. Lyle dgaf anymore.
28. I’m glad the spell was broken as soon as Evelyn died.
29. Well, I guess Vanessa is the scorpion.
30. I wish Vanessa had burned that place to the ground, just to add a little ‘spark’ to her exit.
31. I was hoping Sembene would make it but now I’m sure he’s gone. Noooooo!
32. Please, John. Kill the Putneys. Kill them all!
33. This bastard, “A few shillings and a candle.” I hope he suffers the most. No! I want Lavinia to suffer the most.
34. Hahaha! Yasssss! He snapped that bitch’s neck like nothing. Ah, John, I’m so proud of you.
35. I’m glad he let Lavinia alive. Suffer bitch! But I’m sure she’ll be able to make a wax figure of his face so the police can recognize him…[Sighs]
36. Ah, nothing like Hecate singing us a song before she sets her mother’s house on fire.
37. No, Victor, you’re so not fine.
38. Aw! Mr. Lyle offering his friendship to Victor is the cutest thing ever.
39. Poor Victor. He expected Lily to be impatiently waiting for him. Sorry, man. She gone.
40. I hope Victor doesn’t think he can go to Dorian’s house and just kill him.
41. When did Brona learn to dance so well? Why are they dressed in white? Did Mr. Lyle go to Dorian’s house to do Brona’s hair? So many questions.
42. Dorian looks gorgeous in white. Oh, lord!
43. Okay. Normal people stop dancing when the music stops but not these two. These two keep going like idiots.
44. “Spare me your gallantry.” Translation: “Go fuck yourself, Dorian.”
45. Oh? So just like that, Lily moved in with Dorian? Be careful, darling. We know what happened to the last person who moved in with him.
46. Wow! Dorian and Lily truly deserve each other. They have no heart and as such they’ll end up killing each other for sport.
47. Victor, honey, have some dignity please!
48. Oh, I hope Lily’s ending is slow and painful.
49. I’m glad Victor shot Brona but, unfortunately, she didn’t die. He needs John for that and only one match to end Dorian’s life. Also, Dorian got scared for a moment.
50. Ahem. Dorian doesn’t waste an opportunity, does he?
51. I’m glad that now Victor knows Dorian is an immortal.
52. “They are made for killing.” It’s interesting to realize that Dorian sees himself as a sort of God but I doubt that Brona has forgiven him for humiliating her at the theater.
53. Poor Victor. This is too much for him.
54. Okay. I’ll say it again. Brona is insane. Does she think she can rule the world? Hahaha! Wait until Dracula appears or the devil. She’s a walking corpse. I’m sure one of them will be able to control her like a puppet, then she will know terror.
55. Enjoy your time together, Brona and Dorian. Enjoy it while it lasts.
56. Oh, no! Malcolm will go to Africa and leave Vanessa behind! Wait, maybe they can bring Sembene back to life there! Yes, I still have hope.
57. Aw! Ethan was waiting for Vanessa inside her room. Now, kiss!
58. Poor Ethan. He feels so guilty. But…I have to say, Sembene told you not to go.
59. Yes, Ethan, she knows what you are and not because you told her, by the way. What if you’d killed her as well, huh? You’re lucky you’re cute, tall, have nice hair, a sexy voice, and a perfect nose because those are the only reason why I keep forgiving your bullshit. P.S. I love you.
60. Come on, Ethan! She’s saying yes right now. You couldn’t kill her as a werewolf. What else do you want?
61. He wouldn’t even let her kiss him? Wtf, Ethan? Please don’t go to the police.
62. Omg. He did go to the fucking police.
63. NO! Not a goodbye letter. Ethan…I have only so much patience, my boy.
64. And now he confessed. You have two guns man. You didn’t need help to die. Well, I guess he wanted to pay for what he has done as a form of self-torture. Ah, Ethan, how you love your precious guilt.
65. Wait, I’ve just realized that Vanessa told Ethan that Malcolm would leave her alone in the house but he decided to turn himself in anyway? So, now Ethan doesn’t care about Vanessa’s safety? Ah, he doesn’t know there are two evils who will hunt Vanessa until the end of time and he hasn’t accepted that he is the only one who can help stop them.
66. Ethan, what have you done…
67. I hate Rusk so much!
68. Noooo! Ethan is going back to America to his monstrous father!
69. OMG, Victor. What the fuck are you doing? You better not over dose!
70. I hope Mr. Lyle or Vanessa pays Victor a visit and save him.
71. It breaks my heart to see both John and Vanessa in complete despair.
72. Poor John. He has tried too long to connect with people. I don’t blame him for feeling the way he feels and still he has kind words for Vanessa.
73. Poor Vanessa.  She’s so hurt and lonely. Ethan should’ve stayed instead of running away from her and Vanessa should’ve told him what she saw at Evelyn’s house. Perhaps their future wouldn’t be exactly as she saw it but they could’ve had a future together.
74. I wish Vanessa had invited John to live with her when he asked her to go with him.
75. Omg! John cried! And now, I’m crying too!
76. Three ships, three different destinations, and all three have tormented people in them.
77. Fucking Rusk put Ethan in a cage! And he cut his hair! Oh, you fucker! I hope he kills you.
78. “I thank you for your affection and understanding.” By leaving you.
79. Poor Vanessa. It’s so sad to see her go around the house turning off the lights. No Malcolm, no more Sembene, and no more Ethan.
80. So in that letter, Ethan pretty much told Vanessa he was going to his death and asks her to be strong.
81. “Written with love; Ethan.” Oh, Ethan, you should’ve stayed with her.
82. I don’t blame Vanessa for burning the cross. She has nothing left in her.
83. “So we walk alone.” How heartbreaking.
84. “Dear Vanessa: Your many kindnesses, I will always carry with me. Such generosity has not been a part of my life and I thank you for your affection and understanding. In my most frightened and lonely moments, you were there and such light you brought to me but I’m made for the dark as we both know. I am fit for only one place and should’ve been there, long ago. Deep in the cold clay, on a forgotten hill. Your rode may be difficult but mine is doomed. So, we walk alone. Written with love: Ethan.”

Penny Dreadful season 3 theory…ish

First, I’m not even sure whether Victor will live to be on season three after seeing his state at the end of season two but I certainly hope Mr. Lyle pays him a visit and saves him. Second, why would the send Malcolm, John, and Ethan to different destinations?  I think to get them out of the way so Vanessa can be alone.

Ethan’s letter pretty much sounds like he’s leaving Vanessa to go die somewhere. I think Vanessa will try to move on and probably think of Ethan as a dead man. I think this will give Dracula, or the devil, the perfect opportunity to walk into her life as a beautiful and mysterious man who will sweep her off her feet and probably make her fall in love with him. I don’t expect to see Vanethan happening on season three; maybe a kiss but that’s it.

Meanwhile in America, Ethan will be suffering at the hands of his father and I’m sure Hecate will be there lurking in the shadows, she’s probably in the boat with him and Rusk right now. I expect to see lots of Ethan suffering, crying, and being tormented by his father, not only physically, but psychologically as well.

I think Hecate will wait for Ethan to be at his lowest point to make her entrance. I think she’ll be the one who helps him escape and she’ll probably be the one who kills his father. All this will, but hopefully not, lead to a romance between Hecate and Ethan. [Gags]

Hecate has been the only one who has told Ethan how powerful and important he is. I think she will reveal more things to him and by doing so, Ethan will realize that the fight didn’t end with the death of Evelyn. Hopefully he’ll also realize that Vanessa is in danger and will make his way back to London but it won’t be as easy as he thought if Vanessa is infatuated with the new man in her life and is still hurt because he left her when she needed him the most.

I think Malcolm will be able to bring Peter’s remains back home during his trip to Africa and will find trouble there as well. I hope the people from Africa through some sort of incantation can bring Sembene back to life but that’s highly unlikely to happen. [Sniffles]

I think that Caliban/John will learn in his trip, to wherever he went, that no matter where he goes, people will always treat him in the same unkind way they have always treated him. I hope he realizes that Victor was not as bad to him as he thought he was and decides to return to London. I think Caliban is the only one who can kill Lily and to be honest, I hope he kills her on season three.

I think Lily hasn’t forgiven Dorian for humiliating her at the theater in season one. I think she’s using Dorian because he has the financial means she needs to accomplish her plans to take over the world. I think Lily will hide Dorian’s picture to be able to control him and if you ask me, he deserves it.

A friend of mine, @HoundofGod, made a post about Rusk cutting Ethan’s hair to humiliate him. This reminded me of a conversation Victor and Ethan had on S1E7:

VICTOR: ‘He cares for her. She's like a daughter.”
ETHAN: “No. She's not. That's the problem. You know the saddest thing I ever saw? When the army pacifies a native tribe, they take the children away. They cut off their hair, which is a source of spiritual strength to them, you see. They take away their medicine bags, they give them new names. John Smith. William Sherman. Then they ship them East to boarding school.”
VICTOR: “Awful.”

I agree that Ethan’s haircut was meant as a humiliation tactic and to remind him that he’s not and Indian American. But what if he is?

Наша поцелуй был медленным и нежным в начале, как будто наши рты и души возобновили вальс, мы не могли закончить раньше. Вскоре наша страсть выросла сильнее, сильнее, чем шторм .Потребность чувствовать кожу на кожу была с нами ,мы почти срывали друг с друга одежду.  Одним быстрым движением Этан взял меня в свои сильные руки и понес  по лестнице.

We walk alone

When I opened my eyes the in the morning, for a cruel moment I believed it had all been a dream. I could hear Ethan, Sembene, and Sir Malcolm having a conversation in the hallway. I jumped to a sitting position on the bed, with a wide grin on my face from utter joy but too soon my smile slowly began to fade away.  My heart sank I'm my chest, my throat began to ache, and my eyes welled up as I gazed upon the wall and noticed the crucifix missing.
Suddenly the voices of Sir Malcolm, Sembene, and Ethan vanished. I turned my head towards the fire place with dreadful slowness as if to delay the discovery of what I knew would be there and as I saw the remains of the crucifix, a cold tear rolled down my cheek.
I got off the bed and went downstairs towards the kitchen. I suppose I needed more proof to believe it had all been a dream, or perhaps I needed the pain, I needed something to remind me that I was still alive.
I found the kitchen was empty, like me. Except, the kitchen was clean; almost pure, unlike my soul. I stood there motionless, my eyes traveled across Sembene's seat, his apron... If only I had listened to him. I thought. His last words to me resonating inside my mind, daggers piercing through my heart.
“We go tomorrow, in the day, all of us. We save that man, we kill that woman, and all her like. It will be unholy slaughter.” Sembene had said but I wouldn’t listen.
I closed my eyes and walked away. I couldn't bear to hear any more and as I wrapped my arms tightly around me I heard Joan's words.
"By the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes." I realized then, that she had spoken the truth. I'm a wicked, selfish, person and I'm responsible for Sembene's death.
I began to shiver as I walked up the stairs. The tears in my eyes made it troublesome for me to see clearly, causing me to miss the last step. I tripped and fell down on my hands and knees crashing down on the upstairs hallway. I couldn't help so sob for a moment. If I had fallen backwards, I would've tumbled down the stairs and lost my life, and my curse. All of it could've ended right then and there but I had been spared once again.
I wiped my face with my hands and pulled myself up with the help of a wall. I cannot recall walking towards Ethan's room but suddenly I was opening his door. I walked inside and carefully closed the door behind me. My eyes traveled across his room noticing all the things he had left behind. He had left his guns on top of on chair. I traced my fingers over the guns as I passed them by. I went over to his desk. His dip pen was still where he had left it, surely after he had written that dreadful letter. There was also a book, a journal, on the desk. I opened it and recognized Ethan’s writing throughout its pages.
It hurt too much to see his…ribbons of words. I closed the journal, placed it back where I had found it, and walked away from the desk. Ethan's bed was neatly made but not by Sembene, by him. I saw his sweater on the sofa, the one he wore when he attempted to teach me how to shoot, the one with the buttons on the side of the neck. I picked it up and sat at the edge of his bed. I brought it close to my face and inhaled deeply with my eyes closed. It still held his delightful scent. "God! Why, Ethan?" My voiced cracked as I spoke those words, my own voice sounded foreign to me as if it had been an eternity since I had heard it and no matter how hard I fought to suppress the tears, it was all futile. I embraced the sweater as if it were Ethan himself and began to weep uncontrollably.
I, unconsciously, let my head fall on Ethan’s pillow and covered myself with his blankets. I turned on my side, pressed the sweater to my breast, and brought my knees as close to my chest as possible. I stayed there, only god knows for how long, thinking about cold clay in a forgotten hill and Ethan's final words as I wept. "So, we walk alone."
Ethan thought I had lost my soul that night at the moors but he had been mistaken. My soul died when he left me.

Так неожиданно свернули третий сезон "Penny Dreadful", сколько историй осталось нераскрытыми, печаль-печаль...

Не секрет, что мой любимый герой третьего сезона (кроме Итана, само-собой!)- Дракула / Кристиан Камарго.

Я хочу лишь напомнить, как это было.

Диалог Дракулы и Ванессы:

— И в чем моя жестокость? В любви к тебе?
— Ты врал мне с первой минуты. Ты разбил мне сердце
— Разве я врал? Ты встретила мужчину, который восхищался чудесами природы, как и я. Ты встретила мужчину, который узнал боль и страдания, как и я. Ты встретила мужчину, который хотел заполучить тебя для своих целей, но вместо этого влюбился. Я этот человек и монстр заодно.
— Даже сейчас ты все перевираешь. Все эти годы, все эти нападения...На меня, на моих друзей, на мою подругу Мину, которая умерла с твоими зубами на шее! Как ты осмелился говорить о любви?!?!?!
— Осмелься вместе со мной.
— Я не склоню голову и не стану есть с животными. Я не буду тебе служить!
— Нет, я не хочу, чтобы ты служила мне, Ванесса. Я хочу служить тебе, матери зла.
— Чем была моя жизнь? Чередой жалких имен в этом банальном мире от одного кровавого столетия до другого в вечном поиске того единственного, чего я не могу получить...сжалься,я прошу!
— Только такую жалость я могу предложить.
— Тогда сделай это! Лучше умереть на месте, чем хоть день прожить без тебя.
— Значит это история любви?
— Ты сама это знаешь. Нас изгнали в свое время, Ванесса. Мир отворачивался в ужасе. Почему? Потому что мы — другие. Уродливые, исключительные. Мы — одинокие создания ночи, разве нет? Летучая мышь, лисица, паук, крыса.
— Скорпион.
— Сломанные создания.
— Не любимые.
— Но есть один монстр, который любит тебя такой, как ты есть. И он перед тобой. Я не хочу, чтобы ты была доброй или нормальной. Я хочу, чтобы ты была такой, какой есть... Ты так старалась быть такой, какой тебя хотели видеть, какой ты хотела видеть себя сама, какой тебя учили быть твоя церковь, твоя семья и твои врачи. А ты не хочешь быть такой,какая ты есть?
— Собой?
— Ты больше никогда не будешь одна. Я буду любить тебя, пока время не потеряет смысл.
— Да.
— Ты принимаешь меня?
— Я принимаю себя.

« И тогда весь свет погаснет. И мир погрузится во тьму. И даже воздух станет гибелью для человечества. И тогда наши порождения, ночные создания, выйдут чтобы кормится. Такова наша сила. Таково наше царство. Таков мой поцелуй. »
