ButMayfair Witches haphazard approach to pacing and plot development has thrown all of my TV-watching instincts out of whack.

Jesus, is this show gaslighting me?

If so, it would certainly be on theme.

This time, Lasher dresses Rowan in a polyester flapper costume from Spirit Halloween.

Unimportant, apparently, though I am sorry on behalf of Alexandra Daddarios dignity.

But thats not really whats important here, I guess.

Girl, get thee to a gender-studies course.

All the doors and windows are currently impenetrable, though they are at least no longer on fire.

(No explanation given.)

This gives Lasher an opportunity to slip into a Ciprien shape and fuck with her mind a little.

What stab wound, babe?

Lasher as Ciprien points to his now-unpunctured belly and tells Rowan shes the one who hit her head.

I mean, were really getting the two-disc deluxe-edition compilation album of supernatural mind-game hits.

This is what you wanted, says Lasher.

I want to go home, says Rowan.

No, what you really want is cake, says Lasher.

Like most psychologically manipulative boyfriends, Lasher has a jealousy problem.

), Rowan finally decides on a take-me-instead plan.

She agrees to play Lashers little game, so he agrees to zap Ciprien back home.

Now, arent we having fun?

Isnt this just the best time?

What else do I want?

Rowan asks, because she is clearly not running this show.

What Rowan wants, according to Lasher, is to dance.

And wear sparkly blue dresses.

And, more importantly, to be with Lasher forever and ever.

Look, heres Aunt Carlotta, suspended in midair for some reason.

Dont you want to kill her?

But Rowan does not, confusing everyone.

2 (the Bruce Willis in thisSixth Sensetwist) believes her.

Turns out the easiest way to get Carlotta murdered is to just let Carlotta be Carlotta.

I should have killed you when you were a baby, Carlotta snarls.

Cip, by the way, is fine.

I wish there was more to it than that, but thats really apparently it.

And then thats the end of the episode.

I dont know, guys.

This show is making me feel like Im also slowly dying of demon sepsis.

Why would Lasher not just wear his Ciprien suit from the get-go?

Still dont care about the Scottish ladies, man.

I am also already bored by the impending Odette vs. Rowan plotline.
