Spoiler Alert!
Hey everyone!
Yes, Episode 5! Let's talk about this one!
I actually thought this would be the last episode of Part 1 but, in a way, I'm glad it wasn't because I'm really enjoying this season.Yes, this episode ended up being a little predictable in some aspects but I think overall the season has been pretty solid - not only in terms of story but also performances, cinematography and message. I've seen some comments and I feel like most people aren't getting all the topics this season is touching, which is a shame because it's actually pretty deep. Might be a bit cliché, but it's still an interesting message about art and artists and what greed does to people. Amazing!
And on the topic of predictability, this episode starts out right with something that I was not expecting - Doris giving birth to a baby boy. I truly believed something was going to happen to the baby or to her while she was still pregnant but I guess I was wrong which is actually a good thing. However, from that point on, the episode becomes a little more predictable. I do have to mention though that scene where Harry drinks the blood that comes out with the baby?! That was messed up!
Anyway... So Doris and the baby go home and, as you can expect, things go south really fast. Alma drinks some of the baby's blood and, eventually, they have to tell Doris about the pills. And we all knew that Doris wasn't talented enough to take the pills, everyone knew, to be honest, and that was the plan. Harry tried to prevent it but Alma tricks Doris, that sneaky little thing. Truly, that kid needs to learn a lesson! She truly got under my skin this episode, so props to the actress because she's doing an amazing job!
But yeah... Alma tricks Doris and Doris does take the pill and... Yes, she becomes one of the pale people... As expected. And all of this happens while she's alone at home and while Karen and Mickey break into her house to 'steal' the baby.
Turns out Belle knows about the baby and tells Karen to steal the baby for her. But Karen is enough of it and says that the only way to protect the baby is to steal him and keep him, and so that's what she does. However, when Karen and Mickey break into Harry's home, they are faced with Doris becoming a pale people and everything goes downhill, to the point where Karen is basically forced to take the pill otherwise she will be killed by the other pale people that are now chasing after her. Which was what Mickey wanted all along, to be honest. Not in a mean way though.. He just wanted to be with Karen and be successful together, which is kind of cute.
And well... The episode ends in an unexpected way. Not the part where Harry sets Doris free to 'be' with the other pale people, but the part where Karen and Mickey go to the beach and she feeds on him, creates her masterpiece and then kills herself and and walks into the sea.
It was a really bittersweet ending but, the truth is, we don't know what really happened to them. Not only we don't know if Mickey could be killed liked that but also we see in the preview that they take someone from the sea which I bet is Karen and maybe she's alive?! We don't know, but I would like Mickey to be alive. Regardless, the next episode - the finale of part 1 - looks like it's going to be a ride so... I'm curious to see where this ends.
In the meantime, let me know what you thought of this episode and which are your predictions for the 'finale' and I'll talk to you, hopefully, next week!
Love,
Daniela.
