The Strain Episode 10 Recap: Kelly Girl You In Danger

Too Bad I Dont Care That Much Since The Writers Havent Made Kelly A Very Likable Character. Sorry, I'm Sure You're A Nice Enough Person.

This week not a whole hell of a lot is going on except we see Kelly's story. "Loved Ones" opens with Zack desperately trying to reach his mother. He sees her phone's location (nice product placement Apple!) but she wont call him back. Eph goes to look for her. Nora reminds him to take his weapons. Seriously, does he really have to be reminded of that during the vampire apocalypse? Because I would not have to be. I already feel the strong urge to arm myself while watching the show (just in case).

Flashback to Kelly at home. Matt has turned but luckily locks himself in the bathroom before he chomps down on her. School lets out early since so many kids are out. Anyway, Kelly returns home but is attacked by Matt. She manages to fight him off but one of those pesky worms ends up in her eyeball. Uh oh, she's a goner.

And what's up with the TV and internet? I thought Dutch brought them down. So do they just work sometimes? If so she's not a very good hacker. Nora and her mom are watching TV where they are talking about a massive financial collapse. The internet works a little because Zack sees Kelly's phone's location. And what about the mayhem being caused by the vampires? We see a few vampire attacks but it's business as usual for many people. If I saw a vamp I'd be running down the middle of the street screaming.

Arent You Dead Yet Palmer? I'm Not Sure Exactly Why You Exist On This Show Except As A Way To Get The Master To New York.

Fet and Dutch sneak into Palmer's building. But they dont get very far. Security is waiting at the elevator. Some secret spies they are. I see Palmer hasnt kicked the bucket yet. And just when we think Dutch and Fet are about to be shot, Fitzwilliam lets them go. Will he and his men join TeamAbe down the line?

Kelly heads over to Diane's house looking for Zack. Yep Ang is dead. That's what ya get for trying to do in the clones over on "Orphan Black". Although in her defense she did seem to be a decent person on this show. And Kelly, eating small children? That's just low.

Kelly develops infrared vamp vision. Have we seen that before? The Master summons her into the subway saying "come to me". You can bet he will use her against Eph. And poor dumb Zack will be in the middle of it trying to save his mother. Hey I'm all for saving my loved ones BEFORE they turn into vamps. After that, sorry but I'm putting a cap in your ass.

Whatever You Do DONT Go Looking For Your Mother (Although We Know That Is Exactly What You'll Do At Some Point).

Eph finds Diane and her son the basement and puts them out of their misery. Diane was holding Kelly's necklace so he knows what happened. Eph tells Dutch she's not wanted there so she gets mad and leaves. And now Fet is even more pissed at Eph than usual. During the vampire apocalypse it nice to have a warm lady to snuggle up with. Eph has a talk with Zack. Yep that kid is going to be the death of him.

Grade: 3 1/2 Monsters (out of 5). The writers never portrayed Kelly as a full and likable character so it was hard to be really sad when she became a vamp. I think if they had given her additional air time at the beginning of the season it would have been more effective. There were no sightings of Eichorst or Gus or Nanny Neeva or Bolivar this week. And where is the Vamp Ninja Squad? Come on people! There's a vampire epidemic out there. Less talking, more vampire whacking!
