One Man's Art Is Another Warlock's Obsession

In the "Art of Darkness" Joanna catches Frederick and his girlfriend Caroline in a compromising position. She tells Wendy (who says she already knows about Caroline). Joanna feels left out of the family happenings.

Meanwhile Dash asks Ingrid to an East End art gala. She agrees since they're just going as friends. Freya protests saying that, after last week, Dash can not be trusted. Ingrid ignores her warnings. Wendy also gets tickets to the from a secret admirer and takes Freya.

Next we see Joanna, Caroline and Frederick at dinner. Tarkoff (an old family friend) shows up saying he wants to pay his respects regarding Victor. Its turns out that Tarkoff has been hanging around East End for 400 years and is working for the King. Tarkoff is none other than Spike from "Buffy The Vampire Slayer".

And just as we suspected, Frederick has been conspiring with Daddy Odin all along. The mandragora was sent to East End to find a suitable body for the King to inhabit (so he could surprise the fam). Tarkoff tells Frederick he better put a spell on Joanna so the two girls can be taken back to Asgard or else! Frederick reluctantly puts some poison in Joanna's wine but later breaks her glass so she cant drink it.

The evil Tarkoff pretends to hug Joanna but gets one of her hairs. What is he going to do next? And hasnt poor Joanna been through enough this season already?

Meanwhile over at the bird house, we think Killian is about to break free of the owl (after having found a video he himself made saying she could not be trusted). But Eva pulls another fast one and spells him into oblivion again. We also see Eva as an old lady. Is that how she really looks? In which case Killian should be glad he's under a spell.

Back at the art fundraiser, Wendy notices something strange about the pieces. It turns out they were created by her thrice divorced warlock husband Ronan (using her hair in each piece to make them magical). He's back after 40 years saying he loves Wendy, he's changed and to please give him more hair. And yes Ronan is Pete from "Warehouse 13". But Wendy is not phased by his smooth talking and good hair. She is in love with Tommy so cool your jets warlock! On a related note, I really wish we could see more of Wendy's back story.

Who else shows up at the art festivities but Kyle's daddy. He still thinks Dash had something to do with his son's disappearance (and he is correct). So Dash takes him outside and kills him (making it look like a heart attack). Of course this is going to come back to haunt Dash later.

And the moment we've been waiting for. Ingrid and Dash finally kiss. Fan fictioners, start your engines. What do you think of their pairing? I personally like it.

The Beauchamp Ladies

Grade: 3 1/2 Monsters (out of 5). Not my most favorite episode but Im sure the pace needed to slow a bit after the mandragora attack last week. PS @auntwendythecat retweeted another one of my tweets. My life is now complete.
