She also sees his other friends and a photo of Lucas Caravaggio, with an Omega symbol down around him. The great thing about Nina’s commitment to sobriety is that she doesn’t let it stop her from having a good evening out, nor is Rendell’s loss impacting her resolve.īack at home, she finds a yearbook and looks through it, stopping to look closely at Rendell’s old picture. Ellie is very interested in this fact, though she doesn’t let on to Nina. Nina also reveals to Ellie that Bode had met a scary lady in the well-house. Their bond with her may not yet be as strong as it was with their father. This explains why the children have seemed a bit standoffish with their mother. This is an interesting departure from the book where Nina’s alcoholism only worsened after Rendell’s death. She regrets missing out on so much of her children’s lives, but as Ellie reminds her, Nina is there for them now. Nina spends more time with Ellie, who’s interested in helping Nina out may have to do with more than her childhood friendship with Rendell-Ellie has reason to keep an eye on the goings-on at Key House.īut we do learn something important about Nina from their evening together-Nina has been sober for six years. He clearly thinks that he egged Lesser on to kill Rendell, but this is not true. Not only is he grieving, but he feels guilty. This explains why Tyler has been so withdrawn from the family since his father’s death. In jest, Tyler asked Lesser to do the same for him. Lesser was sympathetic and said he often thought about killing his own father. They obviously got close because, on yet another day when Tyler was summoned to his father’s office, Tyler casually mentioned to Lesser that Kinsey was the perfect child but he couldn’t do anything right in his father’s eyes. He wasn’t seeing the boy at all, he was seeing his father’s murderer-Sam Lesser.Īs we saw in the previous episode of Locke & Key, Tyler had been tasked by Rendell to take Lesser under his wing. After almost beating a student to death for getting after Kinsey, Tyler reflects on his actions. The storytelling sessions may have been the start of Tyler’s fractious relationship with his father. One assumes Tyler didn’t sleep well as a child. Rendell had told Tyler a deeper, darker story about a person making terrible choices and being left to ponder them for the rest of eternity. It is indeed a happy ending, but that’s not the version Tyler was told. When the audience is taken into Kinsey’s head, which is beautifully organized as a multi-level shopping mall, we get to hear the end of the sea monster story. However, Kinsey and Tyler both know the end. Unfortunately, Bode had fallen asleep before the end of the story.
