S01.E03: The Case of the Devlin House

[AnimeMania]

The group tries to free a family of spirits from a nightmarish loop inside a haunted house, but it triggers an extreme case of déjà vu for one detective.

Premiere Date: April 25, 2024     Netflix

I was wondering where I knew Caitlin Reilly (the female sprite) from and it wasn't on her IMDB. This episode it came to me. She is in a bunch of Dropout stuff.

Nice to see Crystal and Edwin bonding a bit, even if it took a terrifying murder time loop, a bad vibes demon, and Charles almost getting sucked into a loop and destroyed due to his unpacked childhood trauma. 

I am really liking the supporting cast that is being bult up, I loved the long line of ghosts wanting to get help and the montage of potential cases and I am really glad that Niko is joining the team.

Poor Edwin, his deeply closeted repressed Edwardian self is not in any way ready to handle this cute flirty crow boy turning on the charm and engineering meet cutes. 

I hope that the cats stick around to watch whatever is going on with the heroes while providing commentary.

Being stuck in a time loop where you get axe murdered by your dad/husband sounds awful, the whole thing had a real Amityville Horror vibe.

I haven’t finished this yet, but did they get the 90210 theme, from that song? 
the sprites are funny.

I did think right away that the song would be the trigger. I did not expect that creepy monster crawling in. The visuals reminded me of some of the 80's Swamp Thing comics when Constantine first showed up - there was a monster that looked like a person turned inside out. I think they included it in his TV series too in one episode. Eww.

Poor family and poor Charles. I like how perceptive Crystal is to others' trauma. It might come from being a psychic, or maybe that's just her personality.
