imwaldeDUUUUUUUUUUUDE. So my reigning theory, which will likely last until next episode, is that William and Original Audrey back in colonial Haven were playing at being witches, who maybe were cooking up curses for those who crossed them, and when the town tried to burn them at the stake or whatever, cursed everyone in the town and their progeny in perpetuity? I mean, because there are some troubles too based on modern technology to have been cooked up back them (the machines in love with that guy, for instance), but presumably that dude is a descendant of someone who pissed them off back in the day. And then I guess they spared their friends, like the Driscolls? Maybe the Driscolls were in their coven or something , dunno!
My mind went to witches, because of the old timey church flyer in the credits that talks about witches. Or rather, WYTCHES. But the stuff about the Barn being an interdimensional gateway made me hedge and say playing at being witches, instead of just being witches outright. They could be from elsewhere (another dimension?) and were just perceived as witches within the colonial Haven context. That would better explain the sparks, which seem less witchy and more spacey to me. Well, insofar as anything is really explained by any of that. (They can't have always been sparking, or that would be a very impractical way to carry on a love affair.)
That would explain why Audrey was being punished (and William too, albeit less directly, by having to watch his lady love live the punishment over and over, without her remembering him, and presumably being stuck in the Barn, perhaps kept away by Agent Howard from interfering?). If any of that is on the mark, I wonder if Original Audrey had a change of heart and volunteered to try to make it right, given how she is always the same underneath, and how the Barn only works if she goes in voluntarily. And actually, given that her base character seems to have been good through all the manifestations, maybe William is spewing a crock of shit, and Audrey did not mean to hurt people, however they cooked up the Troubles, and she wanted to right his wrong. Dunno! None of that explain why there are HORSESHOE CRABS WITH EYES, LET'S NOT FORGET ABOUT THOSE. *shudders*
As for the rest of the episode, I loved Detective Crocker. So drawn to her, yet appropriately skeptical. And Nathan was totally adorkable. The scene with Duke, hahahah! And hi, actor who played Cliff, who I sort of remember from Jericho!
Can't believe there's only three eps left this season!
