2.16 The Purloined Keys

[Tim]

Lots happened here. 

Seems that Nancy no longer has the trust of Ned and Ryan.  However, if they had heeded her warnings, they would never have fallen into Everett's trap.  Now he knows that Ryan is against him, and that lady reporter too.  Ryan urges her to leave town ASAP, because he knows what his father is capable of, and he really likes the reporter.  Ryan said that he's lost too many women already.  And, sadly, his mother has now been added to that list, although Ryan doesn't know that yet.

All through the episode, something seemed off about Celia Hudson.  She seemed concerned about such trivial matters, and seemed out of it.  And Nancy was the only one she interacted with.   Then came the big reveal, in which Nancy finds Celia's dead body, and realizes that she's been interacting with a ghost the whole time (Celia had been dead since before the episode started).  Celia herself freaks out, well, who wouldn't, seeing their own dead body.    Nancy then asks Celia's ghost how she died, but Celia cannot remember.  Nancy seemed upset at the loss of the grandmother she was just getting to know.   Celia's ghost departs soon after.

Nancy realizes that, if Everette is willing to murder his own wife, there is no lengths that he won't go to.  So she goes and kidnaps Everette herself (with the help of Gil Bobbsy) after revealing her identity to him.  And that's where we end!

Also liked the bit about Bess setting up a dating profile for herself.  And George and Odette helped.

I know this show has supernatural elements, but I was TRULY not expected that fake out with Celia.

That Celia twist was absolutely shocking, like my face was in utter shock. This show should be given kudos for getting mr good.

I had no idea that Celia was a ghost until we saw her dead body hanging like that. I think Kennedy and Teryl Rothery did an really amazing job with the reveal.

Kennedy was the star in this episode.

Of course there were clues throughout the episode that something was off with Celia.  Namely:

1.  Her strange behavior.

2.  The fact that Nancy was the only one to interact with her throughout the episode (I get the feeling that Nancy was probably the only one who was able to see and hear her, to anyone watching it would seem that Nancy was talking to empty air).

3.  Celia wore the same clothes throughout. 

And then the Big Reveal, Celia was dead the whole time and Nancy was interacting with her ghost. 

Kennedy and Teryl owned those scenes,
