Haven really is a show where you simply have to accept the bizarre in the real world. The nonchalance with which the lead characters approach situations which most people would not be able to process and would absolutely refuse to believe was beautifully justified in this episode when the police chief pointed out this very thing to Agent Audrey Parker (Emily Rose).
When a giant bronze ball which was part of a statue destroyed a local pub, Nathan Wournos (Lucas Bryant) must investigate and Audrey, remaining in town for her personal quest, tags along out of boredom. Soon, she is cocooned into a blanket after seeing a butterfly, and then one of the suspects is nearly killed in another unbelievable incident, preceded by the appearance of the insect. Despite my familiarity with movies, tv shows, and books in which these things are normal, were I to see them in the real world, I am certain I would justify the happenings with pure logic rather than trusting my own eyes.
That Audrey does not dispelled the truth because of its impossibility is what makes this show interesting. And now, as Nathan warns, the troubled times are back and someone like Audrey, so ready to accept these things, but completely grounded, will help the town get through the difficulties. Were she a believer in the occult or in the supernatural, the show would have a completely different feel. It is her normality which makes her a truly appealing lead, and allows us to follow her on this seemingly incredible journey without suffering from too many doubts.
How bad will things get over the next few weeks, and how exactly Nathan will be affected by this trouble of which he is a part, I cannot guess, but I cannot wait to find out.
