Much of the episode focused on Rachel Conroy (Amy Acker) and the pressure the community is putting on her to remember what happened when she was taken. Although she is a victim, like the 7 other people who disappeared, she was only gone a few days and she has been returned. The grieving and desperate relatives of the other victims resent her, even more so because she cannot be the tool they need to find their loved ones. Poor Rachel, terrified and traumatized, she is still victimized by her former friends.
At first, Rachel wants to run, to get as far away from the chaos as possible, but Merritt Grieves (Sam Neill) will not just let her go. He convinces her to trust him, finally giving us the details about his own personal encounter with the Magic Man, and hypnotizes her. Although we did not see much within her dream, and she could not turn around to face the Magic Man himself, by the end of the episode Rachel is determined to stay with Tommy (Geoff Stults) and to stop the fear which has been plaguing the community for so long.
Meanwhile, some progress is being made on the cases. A letter written by a left-handed man was supposedly left by the female right-handed first victim. She, also, was apparently seeing someone other than her boyfriend at the time. It seems as though that may have been the president of the Breadie, John Haplin (Steven Weber), but while the police seem to think that makes him a possibility, I believe that that tells us why he is so concerned that his son might be the next victim. If his lover was kidnapped, as well as his daughter, perhaps the rest of the victims also have a connection back to him?
So I can't wait to see next week, where we will hopefully find out more, and also see who it was who was trying to kill Grieves at the end of the episode.
