A guy and a sex doll in a cab. Well way to set the tone Hemlock Grove!
While… distracted, he runs into Peter running naked
across the road – who then turns into a wolf in his usual very gory fashion and
he and 4 more wolves surround the luckless trick driver. Said drive falls to
his knees and prays gloriously terribly (yes, I laughed, I’m a terrible person)
only to look up and see the wolves are gone – and someone has stolen his truck.
Peter and his fellow werewolves celebrate the heist,
everyone very impressed by Peter’s willingness to be hit by a truck. He’s not
going to do another job, though, since he still wants to find Nadia and
Miranda.
They pass on the stolen goods to a fence who also updates
Peter on how his mother’s doing (she moved back to eastern-Europe last season)
and passes on some family jewellery, his granny’s ring. He passes that to
Andreas along with the family blessing to marry Destiny.
Destiny, the seer (because we’re still hitting every
Rroma stereotype) has an ominous dream about the giant manta-ray things that
Miranda’s doctor turned into at the end of the last season to kidnap Miranda
and baby Nadia. I still have no idea what they are
Roman is missing his baby, the ominous
eye-ball-destroying Nadia
Destiny is trying to use her psychic powers for Roman and
Peter to find Miranda and Nadia – and gets nothing, while the detective Roman’s
hired has a whole lot of not-very-polite-scorn. He’s done a whole lot of
investigation looking for the baby but, ultimately, hasn’t got any clues or
leads. Being a good detective he has found a whole lot of suspicion though, not
least of which the fact Nadia has no birth certificate or that Roman is not
going to the police about her disappearance. Of course Roman isn’t divulging
anything.
In the bar, Roman and Peter reflect on how impossible it
is to tell their detective anything given the givens. Peter is also going to
stay with Roman for a while to give Destiny and Andreas space while Roman makes
intense eye-contact with an ominous woman in the bar who then vanishes. This is
a bad bad idea. She’s also waiting for him outside when he gets a blowjob from
another woman he finds. She vanishes then as well.
Two vanishings is enough, Roman now starts looking for
her and finds her the next day (and a very unhappy woman who he dumped the day
before) and begins flirting – only to have her vanish on him again
