Baby Doll (to Candlemaker): "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."
On one hand, I have to admit that Baby Doll is my least favourite of Jane's personalities to watch but on the other hand, I didn't see her presence being the one that would have Dorothy lose control and cause Candlemaker to spring forth and go for the kill in the Underground.
Candlemaker's been itching for a showcase and this was a good taster of what he can do as Jane realised that he wasn't going to be easily taken down. Even Hammerhead couldn't match him and Baby Doll (who was intolerable) ended up paying the price here.
Kids do fight and when both are volatile like Baby Doll and Dorothy, it was pretty obvious that their friendship was going to be rather shortlived. Baby Doll made the mistake of trash talking Niles to Dorothy and the latter made the mistake of underestimating Baby Doll's actual powers, which resulted in one of Dorothy's imaginary friends, Manny being killed as well. Maybe Niles should have actually kept an eye on the pair as he was doing nothing else here.
Getting away from the Dorothy and Baby Doll stuff, Larry's attempts to reconnect with his other son, Paul and the latter's son and grandson, Dex and Toby went as badly as predicted. I wasn't shocked that Paul instantly turned on Larry or that Dex ended up in the crossfire as well. At least Larry had his Negative Spirit and Rita to get him out of there this week.
Meanwhile, things were on a slightly lighter-ish note with Cliff and Victor this week. The former seemed to be in a better mood when he realised that Niles intended to upgrade him for the better but then also reached out to Silas Stone as he feared that Niles might not be around long to actually carry out with the upgrades.
As for Victor, well, he had the buddy cop moments with Cliff, which I enjoyed as well as some nice scenes with his father. However the highlight was seeing him and Roni reconnect and here's hoping nothing disastrous happens with those two for the remainder of the season.
- It was revealed that this season was meant to have 10 episodes but due to COVID, the number was reduced to nine instead.
- Rita auditioned for a role, and despite her audition going wrong, she managed to get the part. I did like her scenes with Toby here.
- I loved the whole Steele & Stone montage. One of the funniest moments the show has done.
- Chronology: Not long from where the previous left off.
Finger Patrol finally gave Candlemaker his moment to shine after weeks of him merely being a voice for Dorothy to ignore. I have to admit that I did enjoy the other two plotlines more than the Dorothy/Baby Doll stuff this week but we're at the half way point and things are nicely picking up.
