FormerMod-a1 July 9, 2014 Share July 9, 2014 Moretti calls on Pierce to examine Elena Douglas, a woman who has confessed to murder and claims to be possessed by the Devil. Meanwhile, Donnie and Moretti’s wedding plans hit a bump in the road. Link to comment
MortysCleaningLady July 10, 2014 Share July 10, 2014 No one watched? With the flashback scenes with the victim's rotten acting, I can't blame you. When the father and sons were getting arrested, I couldn't figure out why the mother wasn't as well. Link to comment
margol29 July 10, 2014 Share July 10, 2014 Yes, I did watch. You are correct that the victom was a rotten actress. I did like the scenes with the devil. I was hoping that the monsignor was going to be a part of the money laundering scheme. I guess I let my personal feelings about priests invade my watching of this episode. Link to comment
April Bloodgate July 10, 2014 Share July 10, 2014 I watched. I didn't think much of this episode. I thought the mom was a pretty bad actress too. Link to comment
shapeshifter July 11, 2014 Share July 11, 2014 I did like the scenes with the devil.Everything goes better with Lionel Luther/John Glover. If this show had a bigger audience of previously.tv posters, I'm sure there'd be vigorous debate and discussion about the Catholic Church, indulgences, and the way all the women in the episode seemed robbed of agency. And I'm sure I'd be tempted to take the opposing side to whatever the prevailing view was, and then get my behind virtually handed to myself. So, moving on then... Except. I am annoyed that Kate's father had to forfeit the game for no reason of his own. Maybe we are supposed to think he was genuinely happy to give up the tickets to charity so Kate could get the annulment? 1 Link to comment
St. Claire July 11, 2014 Share July 11, 2014 I kinda call BS on the need for an annulment. If Kate and Donnie were originally married in the Catholic Church and didn't get an annulment when they got divorced (which, if memory serves me, was pretty recently even though they'd been separated for ages), they are still sacramentally married. Call the ceremony a vow renewal, go to a Justice of the Peace to do the legal part and everyone's happy. I'd all BS on the hard nosed Monsignor, what with his "I can tell false contrition when see it" and his manipulation of Kate, but I just sat in a funeral Mass yesterday which was con-celebrated by the Monsignor who refused to give my aunt the Eucharist at my grandfather's funeral because he sensed that she was not a practicing Catholic (which is true- she stopped going to Mass years ago- but totally awful, IMO). Hard nosed, unfeeling priests still are far too common. I like the young priest, though. 1 Link to comment
izabella July 11, 2014 Share July 11, 2014 All I can say is OMG, that tumor! Teeth and stuff! That was really vomit-inducing and horrifying at the same time. 1 Link to comment
Collinwood July 13, 2014 Share July 13, 2014 I was distracted the entire episode because I couldn't figure out where I'd seen the Monsignor. I'm not 100% positive, but I think he was Russian Oligarch Tiny Giraffe Kisser in the old Direct TV commercials. Link to comment

It is Timothy Murphy. 1 Link to comment

Since the Church still considers them married, why go through getting an annulment (which can take 3 years) only to get married in the Church again? It was a stupid subplot, although nice to see how much Donnie loves Kate. (I'm worried they're going to kill him off so she can end up with Daniel.) The tumor was fun, although I'd seen it on Remedy a few months ago. John Glover rocked. Link to comment

candall July 19, 2014 Share July 19, 2014 Is it too much to hope that The Devil could become a recurring character? Good call! He's Declan Gage more than Mr. Luthor to me, but I've loved him since Love! Valor! Compassion! The man only gets finer with age; I don't know why he's not a top-tier name. Link to comment
