They started telling her how “ the dark gets us” when they grow up. Putting the kids to bed one night, Olivia heard Nell and Luke talk about bad dreams. She was walking through the house like one of the ghosts herself, and for all his concern Hugh let it go on, believing she realised the need to get better. Later, she was confronted with the strange floor plan, and it became clearer she was deteriorating psychologically. Then Olivia came to, the night she sat on her husband with a screwdriver to his throat. She suggested, if the kids became stuck in those dreams, there was a way to wake them up. Hill put more worries in the living woman about “ rot and loss” and horrifying dreams, like those Hill House grows in people’s minds. Like ones of her children dying, the same as Olivia. They chatted about keeping their children safe- something Poppy knew of, all too well. She saw a woman standing over her husband. One night, she thought someone was in their house. She didn’t want to admit the reality, passing it off as lucid dreaming. Olivia told Hugh (Henry Thomas) about her bad dream. She also stumbled onto the corpse of Luke, overdosed, before Nell rose and tried speaking, but her mouth was cinched shut from the embalming. Later, Olivia walked into one of the house’s rooms and into the funeral home morgue, where a grown Nell laid on one of the slabs. Even Shirley (Lulu Wilson) and Luke (Julian Hilliard) noticed she wasn’t well. Olivia was experiencing worse migraines, making it harder to deal with everyday life, let alone all the supernatural madness masquerading as mental illness. Dudley mentioned the Bible and Revelation, in which a passage states hail as “ heavy as a talent” fell from the sky, from Revelation 16:21. She mentioned a couple places where this happened through history, including Sicily, whereas Mrs. She described being home after the funeral, finally crying after being unable to before, and it brought on the rain as she cried, until it hailed- only they were black stones, not hail. Crain, who opened up somewhat about her family history and her father dying when she was young.

Dudley (Annabeth Gish) was cleaning, joined by Mrs. Olivia was beginning to have troubles with reality, losing little slivers of time.

#House season 1 episode 9 series#
It’s a serious thing treated as a joke, and in that sense we can find a connection to the series itself- how mental afflictions can be treated as nothing serious, from Olivia (Carl Gugino) to her children Nell (Victoria Pedretti) and Luke (Oliver Jackson-Cohen), how it’s played down and ignored, as we see throughout these episodes, to the detriment of everyone. Particularly it was used in the ’40s and ’50s for supposed hysterical women. * For a recap & review of the finale, “Silence Lay Steadily” – click hereįittingly, the episode is titled “Screaming Meemies” which is a slang, silly term for an anxiety or panic attack. But, in the end, that ended up eclipsing everything we saw after.* For a recap & review of the previous episode, “Witness Marks” – click here Rather, it seemed like just another elimination battle, and, again, after that Leiomy and Dashaun performance, it set expectations so high. Mind you, they had a few cute moments, like Zay Zay bumping Calypso and Jamari and Carlos doing some minor blocking, but it was never at the level where you’d think they were fighting for $100K. On The Fence The Final Competitions Weren’t As Nasty As You’d Expect For 100,000Ĭonsidering how nasty we have seen some battles get, especially the ones for money, the fact the battles for $100,000 were rather tame was a complete letdown. Though, in reality, it ended up being the best part of the episode. The choreography, by Leiomy, and just how it was lit and on point, it made me think they are prepping us for what is to come. I don’t know about you, but the tango between Leiomy and Dashaun raised my expectations for the finale. So, after some deliberation, it is decided the House of Balmain won the first season of “Legendary.” Review Highlights The Tango Which Started The Show Yet, it is the finale, and these are the two left.
