Tiger
Episode 5 of Servant Season 3 starts with Leanne waking up and noticing the hustle and bustle outside. The street is setting up a Block Party in the street right outside their house, with food trucks fronted by Sean. His stall even reads “End Homeless Hunger”. Of course, Leanne’s paranoia is at fever pitch, given how many people are outside. ..
Dorothy is annoyed by the other reporter’s behavior and decides to take action. She crosses the street and confronts her rival, Isabelle.
Dorothy continues to butt heads with her, Leanne ends up getting a face painting of a tiger. However, while her eyes are closed and her painter steps outside, someone appears with a gnarly, dirty finger and rubs it across her forehead. But who?
Leanne is disturbed by what she hears from Isabelle. She skips out of the conversation to catch a breath and overhears Isabelle talking about Dorothy in a negative light.
Despite the chaos of the day, Leanne manages to have a good time at the street events. She bounces on the bouncy castle and lets herself smile and laugh. ..
That’s when things get interesting. The couple starts to tell the story of how they met, and how the dagger became their connection. They say that it was meant for them, as a sign of love and commitment. But as the night goes on, they start to feel uneasy about what’s happening. They can’t shake the feeling that someone is watching them.
As they chase after Leanne, it becomes clear that this man is the one responsible for touching her head. The cult have arrived, and as Leanne hurries away, she walks right into all the homeless kids outside, who charge at her location.
Leanne is quick to hide what’s happened between her and her ex-boyfriend, but she’s broken after he leaves.
Leanne heads to the bathroom and touches the back of her head, which is blood-stained. She wipes it down her face with a single tear dropping down her cheek. The episode comes to a close. ..
The Episode Review
This week’s plot focuses on Leanne, as she allows herself some much-needed fun. With the block party underway, she allows herself to actually let loose and have some fun.
It’s interesting to see how that tiger plays into her past, and the ominous finger unfortunately belongs to one of Aunt Josephine’s followers, which causes a lot of issues at the end during that tense chase sequence.
It’s still unknown what happened with the homeless kids in the park, but it’s clear that Aunt Josephine’s people are here and they’re not going down without a fight.
This week’s chapter focused on the fallout from the battle between the White Council and the Resistance, and while it was interesting, there was little development in the plot. This leaves us with a lot of questions that need to be answered before next week’s episode airs.
This is an improved episode and hopefully a sign of things to come.
