Happy Town - Questions and Antlers, S01E06

With only two episodes yet to come, Happy Town brought out the crazy, creating even more questions which I fear will not be answered by the shows conclusion. Indeed, I am less interested in who the Magic Man is than I am about the back stories of many of the other characters.

Grieves (Sam Neill) spent a rather peaceful episodes seducing Mrs Haplin (Frances Conroy) with his charming British wit, while Henley (Lauren German) tortured Greggy (Warren Christie). She wanted to know what he had done with her money and why Mrs Haplin wasn't letting her leave town. Although I rather liked the damage both have undergone to go through something like that and still feel some sort of emotional, romantic bond, what I really want to know is what the deal is with that hammer! And what is the connection between Grieves and Henley - they can't possibly only just have met, they have worked together far too often for me to believe that.

Meanwhile, outside of Haplin, crazy Dan Farmer (Peter Outerbridge) found Georgia (Sarah Gadon) and Andrew (Ben Schnetzer) in his trailer. He is absolutely insane, and I love how when Georgia pointed this out to him, he seemed confused as to why so many people made this assumption about him. In the end, he let them go, but terrified about whether they should keep silent to help his investigation, or because, if they didn't, he would find them.

Finally, poor TC (Geoff Stults) finally had to clean up the mess he made with Big Dave (Abraham Benrubi). He's known for some time that Dave was a murderer, and he didn't say anything because Dave was also his best friend. Finally, when he was supposed to bring him in, Dave ran for it, and TC was finally forced to shoot him. The saddest part, though perhaps what happened was best for TC's career, but the saddest part is that he'd bought Dave a plane ticket to Bolivia so that he could escape. What is the right thing to do when you have to choose between the Law and the Code of Friendship? Too bad Dave didn't trust Tommy enough to find out what those papers in his pocket were.

The most important thing that happened in that sequence, though, was that Dave found the underground where the victims of the Magic Man were being kept. Or did he?

With only two more episodes to go, again, I suspect we will have more questions than answers, and we will likely get more questions over the course of those two episodes. I am sad that this show didn't generate a lot of interest, but unfortunately it was too complicated without giving a good enough reason for most people to get hooked.
