Locke and key cast season 111/22/2023 Broken items put in the cabinet are returned to normal. Perhaps the biggest reveal of the episode is that the cabinet key that Bode found in episode six and everyone thought was just an ordinary one is another magic item. How much control does Dodge have over her? And why? Ellie comes home and is clearly scared to see Lucas with the boys. It also sends Bode to play with Rufus, leading the youngest Locke to meet “Lucas,” who introduces himself as Rufus’ cousin. This midsection does reveal that Nina is starting to remember things, like her time in the mirror, and the trauma of Sam’s attack brings the other supporting characters to Key House, including Jackie, Gabe, and eventually Scot, who learns he’s in a love triangle. Honestly, this might work better as the season premiere of season two. It’s not that the writing or performance is bad, it just feels like it has a lack of momentum eight episodes into a season. ![]() Is she the one who knows how to open the Black Door? Is that why she’s gone catatonic?įrom here, this episode spins its wheels a bit on Drunk Nina. While looking for mom’s booze stash, Kinsey finds a photo of Erin Voss, one of the few living “Keepers of the Keys” from Rendell’s past. She may seem great today, but she’s sliding down a slippery slope. As is often the case, the oldest child recognizes that the disease has returned first, reminding his sister of the cycle they’re heading into, one that ends with mom refusing to get out of bed. Kinsey and Tyler can tell that something is wrong, even if mom seems happy and encouraging. She’s drinking in the morning, acting a bit manic as she tries to clean the house, and already has a little trouble standing. It turns out that when Nina Locke falls off the wagon, she does so completely. She’s going back to the door with Tyler this time, and her brother is smart enough to use his phone to check the tide level so they don’t drown. That’s a question for another episode, as Dodge has a mission in this one: it has the Head Key and it’s time to get to the Black Door, that glowing thing that Kinsey found in the sea caves. Is it possible that the shot of Ellie outside Ridgeway’s house after he was murdered was actually Dodge/Lucas? Can it use the key to look like anyone? And has it done so before? ![]() It’s also revealed that “Lucas” has been at Ellie’s house for two weeks, pretty much since Bode first encountered it. We later see Dodge use the Appearance Key glimpsed in Duncan’s memory jars to transform from Well Lady to Lucas. Looking just like the kid from Rendell and Ellie’s past, Lucas descends the stairs at the Whedon house, and even those unfamiliar with the source will know what’s going on here: Dodge is taking the form of Lucas. ![]() The opening scene actually reveals something that fans of the source will know became a part of the Locke and Key mythology in the second book, introducing a modern version of Lucas. It also creates a dilemma for the Locke kids, who want mom on their side, but know that encouraging their mother’s disease can only lead to personal disaster. ![]() This is an interesting dramatic choice that almost suggests that sobriety puts up walls around the unexplainable, and booze makes people more open to the impossible. As Dodge gets closer to finding the Omega Key, Nina reverts to her alcoholism, which actually opens her up to the magic around her in Key House. Locke and Key follows its most intense episode with something of a regression, an hour that focuses heavily on Nina Locke’s alcoholism while also pushing us a bit closer to the final showdown between the Locke family and the evil entity now known as Dodge.
