Dracula Episode 6 Recap: Dont Even Think About Killing Off Lucy


Episode 6 is entitled " Of Monsters and Men". It opens with everyone at the same restaurant. Dracula abandons Lady Jayne to do a card trick at Jonathan, Lucy and Mina's table. Well that's just rude. Afterwards Mina and Harker have sex (apparently for the first time) on a fancy canopied bed. Where can I get one of those? Do they sell them at Bed, Bath & Beyond? We need more sexy times on "Dracula" and less business speak so I whole heartedly approve (except that Jonathan has all the sex appeal of a dead fish).

Mina is working in the lab. She adds blood (or something) to dead cells and they reanimate. She tells Van Helsing. He sneaks up behind her with the menacing looking silver hammer that he previously used to kill the Seers. Is he going to bash her in the head? I don't think so. She's a main character.

And poor Lucy! Lady Jayne knows that she is in love with Mina. She invites her for tea and says such urges are perfectly natural (she herself has had several female lovers). When the time is right she should tell Mina how she feels. Obviously that doesn't go as planned. Mina is horrified and tells Lucy to leave. Why would Lady Jayne encourage that? It wont get her closer to Alexander (unless of course Mina felt the same way).

Meanwhile in an effort to expose Grayson, Lord Browning holds the British Imperial Coolant Board Meeting in a solarium in the middle of the day (ie there will be lots of sunlight). Where did they get that super long table? Do they sell them at Bed, Bath & Beyond?

Dracula had previously undergone some grueling treatments in order to withstand sunlight but to no avail. They have a new machine that helps "distribute the solar serum through the capillaries" or some such thing. Well that looked really painful. Jonathan Rhys Meyers is quite a looker in his little loin cloth but didn't they have regular underwear back then? 

There is some mystery around the Dresden Triptych. And something else about wireless technology. Plus there's more talk about Jonathan's article on General Shaw. The woman he thought was a bookkeeper was actually an actress. What Harker doesn't know is that she was paid off by Dracula. 

Grayson goes to the meeting in the sun and is able to last a while. Renfield comes and says he must leave immediately. Lord Davenport tries to stall him and Dracula starts to fry (but no one notices) He heads over to the theater and sucks Vera Markham's dry. That fixes the problem... for now.

Grade: 4 1/2 Monsters (out of 5). An enjoyable episode. Goodbye Dracula. We'll see you again in January. PS don't get any ideas about killing off Lucy or I'll drop you like a hot potato.
