A couple in a house are watching their dead child on the
table – her death was an accident but they haven’t called the police – because when
the sun goes down, she gets up and seems to be all better.
Another Trouble in Haven!
Audrey is going to check up on James Cogan (the Colorado
Kid, who disappeared in 1983) – talking to Paul and Junes Cogan, his parents.
Paul is dead and she keeps getting an answering machine at the house – so needs
to go see June and see if she knows where James is since, apparently, she loved
him and she did leave a note to herself telling her that it was important to
find him before she goes away. And maybe finding him will stop her having to go
away. There, nice recap fit in there. Anyway she’s flying to Colorado with Duke
(Nathan naturally not amused by tis because RAWR HATE DUKE).
Back to the Trouble of the week, the newly reunited
family are happy that their daughter is alive, though Dan, the father, wants to
get her to a doctor while Linda, the mother is just happy their daughter is
alive. Right until a speeding car rams into her and kills her.
An ambulance arrives along with Tommy and Nathan and they
find it odd that Dan is talking on his phone while his wife is covered by a
sheet and taken to the morgue. Nathan has Tommy follow him just in case he’s
involved.
He returns to the police station to run into Jordan, her
friend Grady has disappeared while on a mission to bring a Troubled person from
California to Haven; he disappeared at about the same time the bolt gun killer
showed up. Jordan insists she gets to see the evidence that points to the bolt gun
killer is in the guard. He tells her that handing out police evidence to people
of dubious adherence to the law who are harbouring a murderer isn’t the best
plan. Hah! No, of course he doesn’t – he hands it right over, showing her the
picture of the killer killing a woman outside the ATM – in which you can see
his tattoo and a watch, which she recognises as a gift she gave Grady. She
lifts the maps on the flip chart to see the gruesome things the bolt gun killer
has done to his victims. Jordan want to
bring him in, she wants to make this right (hey, give evidence to the police then?
Maybe?)
Tommy following around Dan watches him take out a
substantial sum of money from the bank and then drop it off at the athletic
centre – which looks a lot like a money drop for paying off, say, a hitman. From
there it’s too the morgue where Tommy and Nathan find Dan holding the nice
medical people at scalpel point and checking his watch – he’s agitated that
they may cut into her body in an autopsy. The sun sets and Linda is back – alive
again.
Tommy interviews Dan and, much to his own disbelief, asks
him if he paid money to have his wife brought back from the dead. Dan tells his
story, when Lizzie fell from a tree and broke her neck, a voice on the phone
told them to wait until sunset and Lizzie would be brought back – which happened.
But with Linda, they demanded the drop off of money. Tommy tells him he’s paid
the ransom, that he’s being blackmailed.
They get a hit on the smashed headlight from the car that
run down Linda – it’s registered to Sophia and Charlie Carter, Dan’s partners
in an organic vegetable farm. They go to investigate and find Sophia clutching
her phone and sitting over the dead body of her husband, waiting for the sun to
go down. When it does, he doesn’t move and she cries – she paid the money, he
wasn’t supposed to stay dead – the people who killed her husband promised.
They decide that they need to find someone connected to
both families so check employees. Which leads them to the housekeeper who works
for both families and called in sick that day.
We switch to the 2 paramedics, who picked up Linda’s body
arguing. She says it’s complicated, it’s her sister – he says her sister dragged
her into a blackmail scheme and murdered Charlie Carter. She protests they
should have gotten to him before sundown. The sister arrives, Moira and tells the
female paramedic, Noelle they have to leave town. He tries to intervene telling
her to leave Noelle alone and Noelle suggests Moira takes the money and leaves
town on her own, they won’t tell the police anything. Moira shoots him, says he’s
screwing everything up. She agrees to leave if Moira will just let her touch
him. She touches the body and the sunsets – the bullet wound shrinks on his
forehead and appears on Noelle’s while she screams in pain until it regenerates.
Tommy and Nathan arrive and take the boyfriend’s story,
all that’s left of the gunshot wound is a scar. Background on the sisters shows
they were orphans moving around foster homes but they get where they lived before
their father died – a cabin which they have to find.
In the cabin Moira helps Noelle in – there’s a road block
around the town stopping them escaping. Moira’s frustrated because they had so
many rich targets they didn’t hit – which shocks Noelle that she was going to
kill so many people. Moira complains they’d be ahead if Noelle could absorb
more than one death a day, but their father said it was dangerous. Moira berates
Noelle as a child for caring about people and blames her for not saving their
father.
In Colorado, Audrey and Duke arrive at the address though
the man renting the house says he doesn’t know the Cogans. He just pays rent.
But by the door there’s an engraving of the Guard’s tattoo. After Duke gets insistent, the man
admits that he put up the symbol so Troubled people would know it’s a safe
house – he still doesn’t know a James Cogan, Paul Cogan is dead and June Cogan
is in a home.
They go to see June, but she’s confused and suffering
from Alzheimers, still thinking James is 9 years old. But when she looks at
Audrey she calls her Sarah and asks why she changed her hair and said she said
she’d never come back. She recognises
her as Sarah (who she was in the 50s) and not Lucy (who she was in the 80s and
when she knew James) They leave before security is called as June loses it
She calls Nathan so they can exchange knowledge and
learns that the Guard runs safe houses all over the country. Tension is… high
between them. Duke returns and they discuss June (and yes, the flirting
begins), they can’t trust June’s memories, but Duke stole her photo album.
Looking through the album they find a picture of James getting married – to a
woman called Arla in 1983, which leaves them confusedly wondering how Lucy – or
Sarah – fit in.
Except Arla committed suicide when the Colorado Kid
disappeared, so it’s another dead end. Audrey talks a lot about her lives, her
feelings and the things she hasn’t experienced to Duke while he tries to
encourage her that they can beat it. She thinks she’s wasting time and wants to
live the 20 days she has left before she disappears again. More bonding – lots
lots more bonding. And they kiss, hallelujah! It’s about time. Kissing grows
more heated, a jacket comes off… and Audrey backs off. Nooo please not back to
relationship quasi-love-triangle limbo!
A chance comment from Duke gives her one more idea – she dyes
her hair red and changes into period clothes to go see June again. June
recognises her and says “you said you’d never come back” and asks Sarah to give
them another chance. She brought a child to them – James, to keep him safe.
James Cogan was Sarah’s son.
Flying back to Haven, they get a call from Nathan to help
search the cabins for Noelle. Tommy and Nathan find Noelle and how many issues
she has with blaming herself and making excuses for her sister.
Jordan is investigating the missing Gary who may be the
bolt-gun killer. On the case goes and speaks to Dwight and fills him in about
Grady and how he needs to be brought in quickly and discreetly to protect the
Guard. They’re going to talk to the man Grady was supposed to meet. He’s been
completely alone and was told he’d have to support to help start a new life she
gives him a phone number for help and asks after Grady – during a meeting the
cops showed up and he ran.
They follow up and find Grady’s car – crashed and burned
out with a charred skeleton in the driver’s seat. He’s dead, been dead for some
time and probably isn’t the bolt gun killer – Dwight passes the information to Nathan.
Jordan tells him about Haven PD breaking them up and suggests someone’s gone
rogue in the department.
While checking co-ordinates on Tommy’s GPS to give
directions to Audrey, Nathan finds route 17 recorded – where Gary’s car was
dumped. He suspects Tommy may be the rogue cop. He searches Tommy’s boot and finds
a bolt gun. Tommy comes out and sees Nathan – and shoots him, twice (YAAAAY!
Oh, I mean. Nooo. How sad. This is ad. Yes. Oh… crap they’ve got Noelle who can
bring people back from the dead. Damn you Haven, raising my hopes like that!)
Noelle and Moira run into the woods and Audrey and Duke
arrive – to find Tommy and Nathan’s body. Audrey cries over Nathan’s body,
Tommy says Noelle, the troubled girl started shooting but I don’t think Duke
believes him
It ends with “To Be Continued”
Let me make a prediction now: They find Noelle before
sunset and she saves Nathan’s life. Cliff-hangers where a main character dies
only work when you’ve got an “anyone can die” show.
More and more I can’t stand Nathan – or Jordan for that
matter. They’re angsty, grumpy, passive aggressive, sniping really unpleasant
self-absorbed people and I really want someone to call them on it.
Tommy is not the bolt gun killer. The CCTV picture showed
a white man with a tattoo, so there’s still someone else out there
I’m not happy with them bringing in a recurring Black character,
at last, and then making him a villain, especially after Evie
last season.
