Just A Little Murder and Blackmail on The Gates
I neglected to write about last week’s episode of “The Gates,” so I wanted to get a post in after this week’s episode. I don’t know what to think . . . I am more interested in some of the tidbits they drop than the stories they choose to focus on. For example a few weeks ago we learned the female cop at the station was a supernatural and had a secret . . . but have not revisited. At the end of this week we learned Devon the witch also has a really big secret . . . at the end of the show she had all these bizarre skinned facemasks she was hanging up. Whose were they? I hope they won’t drop this one too.
On this episode Barbara the town gossip (and bar trolling slut it would seem) was murdered, apparently by a vampire. Nick/The Chief spent the show getting to the bottom of things, with Dylan also looking into it. By the end of the show the mystery was solved, but Nick and Dylan found themselves blackmailed by Frank Buckly, who knew Dylan had killed the one girl trying to kill Nick.
I definitely like that Nick is making friends with these people, and realizing they aren’t the monsters they seem to be. Again I just wish we’d break away from these stories focusing almost only on the vampires and the werewolves. There is Andy and her succubus side, but it’s annoying because it seems clear that this season is going to end with her probably taking Nick’s son to the brink of death.
