What an insane and magnificent episode.
"Something whispered. I listened."
I simply was not expecting an entire chapter devoted to Vanessa and Malcolm's shared history. Flashbacks maybe. Like an episode containing three or four flashbacks to fill in the gaps. But a whole hour devoted to Vanessa and Mina, and then Vanessa's subsequent "illness" that landed her in an asylum? No way. And it was really freakin' cool.
And this was the finest work, without a doubt, that I've ever seen from Eva Green. Such a strong, harrowing tale of a childhood friendship torn asunder by a creeping malevolent force. Of course, the full mania of the possession didn't take root until after Vanessa had seduced Mina's fiancé, but it was always there. The doorway had been opened years earlier and a shadow had entered the scene. A sort of permeating darkness that crept over Vanessa the moment she saw Malcolm having sex with Mina's mother in the hedge maze.
