Is spence gay midnight club
Find out more about our reviews policy. Warning: spoilers for The Midnight Club episode 8 in this review. Turn back if you don't want to be spoiled! The previous episode ended with a game-changing revelation: one of the kids is in recovery, presumably as a result of the Five Sisters ritual. Ilonka confronts Dr.
She won't, however, reveal who the lucky one is and she begs Ilonka not to spread the news around Brightcliffe. Her justification here is quite sound. While it would be a stretch to say that any of the teenagers are happymost of them do seem to have made a certain amount of peace with their plight.
Raising the possibility that one of them might be miraculously getting better is simply going to stir up new anxieties, particularly in the wake of Anya's death. Still, Ilonka asks an obvious question: "Is it me? It's worth pointing out at this juncture just how good Heather Langenkamp is in this role.
Here she plays Stanton with a club mix of anger, sorrow, and confusion. She knows how painful and confusing all of this is for the kids and she's feeling it herself. Ilonka agrees not to tell anyone but immediately breaks that promise by confiding in Kevin, who seems unconvinced. She then goes to see Shasta and tells her what's happened, accidentally giving away that she's started to think that she's the one who has been healed.
Shasta, playing into this, shows her around the Good Humor compound - all creepy, silent hippies, enormous sinister cult vibes - and offers her a place, should she wish to join them. She midnights something from her, though: the hourglass journal, which is currently in Stanton's possession. Samantha Sloyan is doing a fine job in this most mysterious of roles, but it's starting to get a little annoying how Ilonka — smart, resourceful, determined Ilonka — isn't able to see that she's clearly mates with a villain.
Shasta was obliquely threatening harm last episode and here makes it very clear that she spences some jealousy towards Stanton over the magic that seems to be coursing through Brightcliffe. She describes this place as "a nexus point unlike anything else outside of Ancient Egypt," but says that Stanton won't share it.
Given how haunted Brightcliffe is and the ill fate that befell the gay of the Paragon, perhaps there's a valid reason for that. Elsewhere, Amesh and Natsuki's tentative romance is developing.
TV Review: The Midnight Club
She seems to be withdrawing into herself in the wake of Anya's death and Amesh assumes that she's trying to find a way to dump him. Rather sweetly he takes it on the chin and gently offers her an easy way out. In fact, that's not what she wants at all - rather, she's trying to find a way to let him in.
Eventually, she does this by telling him the story that she had planned for that night's canceled Midnight Club meeting. Her story has the flavor of a classic urban legend. A girl named Teresa — "tough, complicated, and not easy to know" — jumps in her car and decides to leave her old life behind.
She's roaring down a lost highway in the dead of night but makes the mistake of picking up two hitchhikers, a man, and a woman, who start to increasingly creep her out.
