Penny Dreadful
Season 02
S02E07 - Little Scorpion
The following morning, Vanessa and Ethan retreat to the Cut-Wife’s cottage, where a figure from her past resurfaces. On the first night, Ethan leaves as the full moon rises, causing him to change and attack sheep. Vanessa awakens to Ethan cutting down the tree where the Cut-Wife was murdered. The pair spend their time gardening, target practice, cooking, and dancing. During a thunderstorm, lightning strikes the roof and a fire starts. They extinguish it together. Exhilarated, they kiss, but she eventually pulls away, acknowledging the danger in their intimacy. They are then threatened by Sir Geoffrey, the man responsible for the Cut-Wife’s murder. This prompts Vanessa to recite from the Verbis Diablo which leads to Sir Geoffrey’s death. Ethan confronts Vanessa, fearing that she has lost her soul. Interpreting the relics about a relationship between Amunet and Amun-Ra, gods who believed in their immortality and love but would be dangerous if ever joined, Lyle indicates there is a cycle involving Vanessa: the Demon, the Scorpion and the Hound. Meanwhile, Lily meets a man at a bar, has sex with him and then strangles to death.
