THIS
WEEK'S INCANTATION:
Faeries,
ghosts, and demons all:
Sully not my nights.
Bring talent; else, you'll bring me sleep
as drool on chin alights.
A
grey afternoon — Ella's in bed. No, not
with Thelma, nor with me. So whatever she's up to, it
can't be good.
She's
in a white and grey room, and the light is white and grey,
and the doctor's clothes are white and grey, and Ella's
skin is white and grey — the only splash of color
in the room is Ella's hair. She's strapped to a bed, and
clearly out of it.
Yes,
this is a mental hospital. The doctor says there's someone
to see her — who else? Jez the Boring and Slightly
Diabolical. When she first looks up at him, he's wearing
his demon face, but he soon morphs back to his dull old
self.
Ella
tries to tell her doctor that Jez is not a priest, but
Ramiel the Deceiver, servant of the fallen angels —
but we really know he's Yawniel the Sleep-Inducer.
As
Jez leaves, Ella says she's stronger than Azazeal and
will see them all in Hell. Not if they see you first!
The
doctor follows Jez the Boring and offers him an official-looking
paper, which Jez promptly signs. The doctor says "you're
doing the right thing," which can only mean "you're
screwing half the people you meet and sending the other
half into a coma of sheer boredom."
An
apology — Thelma stands at Ella's bedside
and says she feels terrible.
Ella:
"So you fucking well should."
Come
now, Ella, how are you ever going to get her into bed
at that rate?
The
doctor comes back and gives Ella the bad news:
The
doctor: "The school. Your legal guardians,
yes? They've signed a section 2 order. Do you know what
that is?"
Ella: "Posh word for 'banged
up'? How long?"
The doctor: "Twenty-eight
days."
The
doctor goes, and Ella goes back to blaming Thelma for
everything. That's not the right attitude, Ella: you should
think of it as a nice break, and a chance to keep Thelma
all to yourself for four weeks. But no, Ella's worried
about the fate of the world and all that.
No
privacy — Jez is unlocking Ella's box —
sorry, that sounded wrong. He's sifting through her weapons,
and claiming they're proof that she's "very sick."
Headmaster David has begun to doubt Jez — finally.
The
Medenham grounds — Headmaster David is talking
with some sort of governor-ish dude, expressing his concerns
about Jez. Of course no one's listening. Headmaster David
suddenly seems to have a heart — where did that come
from? He must miss Cassie. And Jo: where did she go?
Eeek
— Back at the madhouse, there's a new nurse:
Nurse Perie. Interesting name,
that. But it's not half as interesting as her strange
twitchy way of moving, or her cold curious stare.
Nurse
Perie meets her patient: Ella, of course. Ella is immediately
suspicious of the "one-to-one" nursing idea;
she's sure that Jez is behind it.
I
know that she's evil and so on, but this nurse is sort
of sexy. Am I just so starved for some sort of lesbian
content on this show?
