Warning: Full spoilers for the episode follow...
With "Resurrection," I continued to be impressed with how strong Penny Dreadful is as a series right out of the gate. It has somehow, through intensity of tone and potency of words, managed to overcome the usual stumbling blocks of a show during a freshman outing. Perhaps we're simply witnessing its confidence in overall form and being, as most shows take a few episodes (or seasons even) to organically figure out what they want to be.
We were given another bit of "night work" this week with Ethan finally stumbling back into the demimonde fold, eager to assist in anything needing doing so that he could buy medicine for Brona. And through this midnight excursion to the London Zoo, a few more pieces of the puzzle fell into place. Namely, how Mina came to be in the predicament she's in (with a cool reference to Jonathan Harker from Bram Stoker's Dracula novel) and the fact that she'd taken up with an unidentified nobleman who now held some sort of power over her. Malcolm usually refers to this dire entity as a "creature," but now that the series has a Renfield surrogate (or perhaps just a precursor to Renfield), in the form of the frothing, insane Fenton, the term "master" is being creepily volleyed about.
