It’s a line that could’ve been laughable in less-skilled hands, but Piper is perfection. UP!” to her past-self while telling her story is stunning. The heartbreak and rage boiling in her is palpable, and the way she screams “GET. Billie Piper nails this scene perfectly, and her performance here is the strongest it’s ever been on this show. “Without them we don’t exist.” She then chronicles a tragic story about her previous life, and her dead child - about how she had been struck so hard by a man one night that she was unable to get up, lost consciousness, and came to later only to find her newborn baby was dead. “There are scars that make us who we are,” she tells Victor. Victor is dead-set on “curing” Lily, and turning her into a submissive, timid bride. Lily would rather die as she is than be Victor’s submissive wife, and when she can’t get through to him via her rage and fury she tries a different approach. What follows is one of the most powerfully emotional scenes Penny Dreadful has ever conjured up. After Lily calls Jekyll Victor’s “assistant”, Jekyll leaves in a bit of a tizzy. Frankenstein and Jekyll are still working on Lily, seemingly unconcerned with the whole killer plague. After Catriona cauterizes Sir Malcolm’s bite, Ethan and Kaetenay head out into the plague-fog hoping to find Dr. She explains that the fog is, in fact, a plague that has killed 7000 people in London. Things look dire, and Sir Malcolm is even bit on the neck by one of the vamps - but Catriona Hartdegen, looking incredibly cool and fashionable in a leather trench coat, shows up and saves the day. Speaking of that fog, it’s actually not a fog at all! After Ethan, Sir Malcolm and Kaetenay show up at Sir Malcolm’s old home they’re quickly attacked by a horde of vampires.

The goal: learn as much about Ethan as possible, since Drac is jealous Vanessa’s old flame is back in the picture. Seward’s wax cylinder recordings of Vanessa’s old sessions. The fog is the result of Vanessa giving herself over to Dracula - and the night creatures are on the move.Įmboldened by Dracula’s new powerful coupling with Vanessa, Renfield is in full-fledged ghoul form and blatantly listens to Dr. London is blanketed in an eerie, perpetual fog when Ethan, Sir Malcolm and Kaetenay arrive in town.
