“Carmilla” recap (2.11 & 2.12): It’s ALIVE!

Previously on Carmilla, Mattie and Carmilla’s sisterly chat goes awry and the Adonis Hunt isn’t the fun, sexy toga party Kirsch thought it would be.

A breathless and bloodied Kirsch seeks refuge in the gang’s place because the Adonis Hunt turns out to be an actual kill-you-dead kind of event. Aw, the things we do for love, Kirschiepoo. He thought Danny would be there and he could steal her heart away, but instead it was just a bunch of bloodthirsty sorority girls trying to go all Arrow on his ass.

Of course it doesn’t take long for Mel to track Kirsch down and draw her bow in his general direction.

Mel is so determined to catch her a man-stag that she’s willing to shish-kabob Laura and Carmilla to get to him. When she threatens his friends, that’s when Kirsch draws the line and comes out of hiding. However in the blink of an eye, Tall Gay Danny has come to the rescue. She grabs Mel’s arrow and therefor ruins her fun and any chance at punishing the frat community for their misdeeds. (Meanwhile, Carmilla just stands there casually drinking blood from the Tardis cup. I love how unvexed she is about any of this.) If Kirsch wasn’t sprung on Danny before, he has heart eyes forever now. Mel agrees to leave but only after making sure Danny knows she’s finished.

Danny sends Kirsch off to find some clothes, and Laura asks her what Mel means with her vague yet scary threat. By protecting Kirsch, Danny has given up her chance to be president of the Summer Society. Laura tries to comfort Danny, as Carmilla shoots daggers at Laura’s former crush. Threaten her with death, she yawns. Casually brush hands with her lady, she’s shooting hellfire from her eyeballs.

Danny brushes it all off and asks for the scoop in the fish. Laura tells her about the Corvae Corp, and how the newspaper had an actual source for all their dirt on Mattie and the Board. A dude named Vordenberg might hold the key to solving this mystery. Carmilla knows the name, the Vordenbergs have been around for a long time. Danny and Laura sit down together to do more research on Vordenberg as Carmilla pretends to read.

The next episode finds Laura and Mattie doing the latest SNN update, where now Mattie is calmly instructing the students to give up blood and tissue samples if requested, as Laura squirms in her seat. Mattie bounces pretty quickly after she gets what she wants, and Laura is left to stew.

Laura deals with the stress, like many of us do, by getting her Scandal on. Carmilla prefers HTGAWM, so she’s not joining her girlfriend’s binge watching marathon. Instead, Laura cuddles up with her on the chaise and knows something is up with Carm. Laura peeks at Carmilla’s book, and it’s some heavy shit. “It’s comforting. He understands that love doesn’t mean the same thing to everyone,” she tells Laura. Welp. Carmilla asks Laura if they could pretend for one day that Laura’s driving need to be heroic didn’t trump their relationship. Could they just pretend to escape it all?

It’s the saddest thing that Carmilla’s ever said. Well, she says it nicer than I did. She then drops the L bomb! She and Laura kiss for a bit but Laura pulls away because DUTY! CHAOS ON CAMPUS! VORDENBERG!

The next day, Laura is wearing kittens, because Thursday. She tells her viewers that she’s about to meet the infamous Vordenberg. Laura is nervous, but on an interesting note, Vordenberg is the descendent of vampire scourge-ridders.With that, Carmilla takes her leave and Vordernberg gently knocks on the door. He’s a nice older gent, and tells Laura that she reminds him of some hot dish from the 40’s or something.

Laura gets right down to business because tact is not her strongest suit. Unfortunately for her, Vordenberg doesn’t seem to think that there’s any point in learning the board’s secrets now, because it’s too late. He’s only on the board because of his family and easily overruled. Laura’s heart sinks at this news. Just then a blood curdling scream rings out, and a shaken Perry enters the room…followed by a naked Will, who is talking a lot like JP. Holy shit, LaFontiane found a way to save JP. Also, welcome back Aaron Chartrand!

Looks like that is indeed the situation, according to LaF’s Twitter.

How do you feel about JP being brought to life? Do you think Vordernberg is hiding something? How come Carmilla’s eyebrows are always on fleek?
