While the team is working to clear up a volatile grave at a cemetery, Lucy hears a voice speak her name. Ghosts aren't supposed to talk... are they?

This episode was kind of frustrating.

• Aargh, find out more details/confirm what's being agreed to before taking on a job! Apart from Lockwood sneaking in the bomb in the last episode, it feels like they keep getting caught unawares. To be fair, some of that is down to the clients or because no one really knowing what's going on, but the team could also do better prep.
• George and Lockwood both being jerks to the others in the cemetery even if Lockwood was able to smooth things over later.
• George getting close enough to the grave to accidentally pull the net off the coffin.
• The guys not listening to Lucy when she thankfully told them about the skull, and everyone turning on one another.

Thank goodness Lockwood came around at the end. George going off on his own wasn't great, but him showing up the other team made up for it. I'm still enjoying the show, but hate that Lockwood couldn't help making the search for the mirror such a high-stakes competition and am not really interested in watching the rivalry between the two teams play out. Hopefully that's another subplot that gets sorted out quickly.

I’ve felt a there have been some “Sherlock” moments from Lockwood so imagine my delight when “Molly” showed up this episode!

The pacing is still awful. I wonder if it's because they're trying to adapt the books. It feels like they're moving some things too quickly and then not giving enough explanation for other things.

Also, I just can't with Lockwood constantly declaring them to be the best when I have yet to see any semblance of competence from them. This episode just reinforced that. They're bumbling idiots that keep lucking into a right answer or solution.

After the first episode, I thought the show was fun and had good potential. But now I'm not even sure I can continue watching.
