Thelma tends to Ella, saying she used to have to to do this for Cassie all the time. What the hell does that mean?

And then Thelma does what she thinks she has to: she makes Malachi sound like not such a bad guy.

Thelma: "If I had the opportunity to make that kind of connection, I wouldn't turn it down."

Thelma also puts the gruesome garter in the bin.

The library — Thelma and Maya are drinking the naff wine by the fire and flirting. Maya asks Thelma how she died. "Cancer." Heh.

Maya proposes a toast to her new, one and only, best friend, and thanks Thelma for being there. Sigh.

Ick — Ella and Malachi are all dressed up for each other. They decide to try a different century for the evening.

It's a cabaret sort of place, and on stage there's a topless woman in a fox (?) mask and a strategically placed fur, singing something saucy. Oh, guess who it is? Faerie Perie. Malachi says she doesn't even know who they are, yet. Hmm.

Medenham — Thelma helps Leon spy on Ella — but of course Ella's not in her room.

The cabaret — Malachi wants Ella to trust him. So he's not just irritating: he's also stupid.

Ella goes away for a bit while some guy talks to Malachi about the war for the hearts of men, or whatever. The guy claims his name is Mephistopheles. Great.

What? — Leon wanders around in the tunnels of Medenham and finds that taxi driver guy, a.k.a. archangel Raphael. This is getting kind of Twin Peaks-ish.

He tells Leon that Malachi and Ella have gone on a date:

Raphael: "Where do you normally take her?"
Leon: "Pizza Hut."
Raphael: "He has taken her to Berlin. 1928 Berlin."

And then he sends Leon to Berlin too. I don't think Leon's green t-shirt is going to fit in very well.

Lucky — Leon finds himself in a boudoir, complete with lots of costumes and risque-looking things on the wall. Apparently it's Faerie Perie's room, and she thinks he's a customer — and that he's there to feel the sting of her whip.

Dammit, where are these portals to 1928 Berlin when you need them? I could use a little vacation.

Ella and Malachi continue to flirt, and then find a room and make out. I may vomit. A bound and gagged Leon watches through a window of some sort. It would be funny if I weren't so annoyed by Malachi and Ella. Luckily, Ella sees Leon, feels terrible, and leaves. Poor Leon: that's twice now that she's left him tied up!

NEXT WEEK ON HEX: Thelma gets laid? — or at least gets a kiss; Ella continues to stray; Mephistopheles plays chess.
