That
was easy — Leon waits for Ella to finish
her run, and offers her the poison.
Leon:
"Looking good, lovely lady."
Ella: "Looking like a sweaty
witch."
And
how is that different?
Ella
feels poorly very quickly, of course, and Leon shows his
cards by saying "You don't take too kindly to St.
John's Wort, do you?"
Meanwhile
— As Thelma saunters down the stairs (snacking
again), a housekeeper shrieks and runs out of dead Tom's
room. You mean they don't have to clean their own rooms?
What a ridiculous school: almost no classes, lots of football
and sex, and nothing to tidy.
This
is not fun — Leon tries to be all evil and
dominating, but it just doesn't work very well. If it
weren't for that Fennery music, I'd really have no idea
that something bad was going on.
Thelma
bursts in and then immediately runs away when she realises
Leon is an incubus. Who wouldn't?
Thelma
finds her way through the secret corridors to Malachi's
room, and hides under the bed when Alex comes in. Also
under the bed is the cleaning lady — now dead. Thelma
just finds a way to lie back and think of England.
Negotiations
— Ella (who's currently strapped to the
bed) tries to reason with Leon. But he's looking at the
Book of Orokiah and has found the bit about How To Kill
an Anointed One. That book is quite amazing, isn't it?
There's probably something in there about How to Salvage
a TV Show When Your Main Actress Leaves, but no one has
bothered to read it.
Anyway,
Leon discovers that he'll just have to bleed Ella to death.
Fun. He proceeds to slit her wrists.
Meanwhile,
again — Thelma finds... hmm, is that the
thunderbolter thing? Or perhaps only part of it.
Yes,
that's what it is, and Thelma's still in Malachi's room
when she finds it — and when he comes back, she promptly
zaps him with it. Yay! And almost simultaneously, Ella
smashes a vase over Leon's head. The war is on!
Thelma
takes the thunderbolter to Ella's room. They mourn Poor
Leon and renew their bond — "it looks like we're
the only ones left."
NEXT WEEK ON HEX: Ella has a cunning
plan; lots of people scream; and is that the delicious
diabolical fairy, back again?
