Hello, Multiversity readers back for the penultimate episode of Locke and Key. Last time we would checked in The Lockes they were being let go by Sam, now in Boltons body and Ellie being held hostage by Gideon. Things have just continued to go downhill for The Lockes so lets see if they can finally get a win in the episode Curtain.
This episode starts with a flashback of when Rendell Locke was a teenager with his friends getting ready for a local play. The point of this scene and flashbacks throughout are to help explain the relationship between Rendells crew with Gordie Shaw. As I mentioned in the previous article his character is suddenly thrust into an essential role of standing between Gideon and the portal of his world to ours. While it does give the audience some empathy for Gordie its because Rendell was the cause of his high school problems. Rendell may have been trying to keep the magic a secret but he did it by tricking Gordie into allowing him to use the Head Key and then taking the memory to protect himself.
On the more goofy side of the episode, Nina and Bode stay at Keyhouse to try and get the Harlequin Chest open that contains all the other keys that Gideon left behind. This still baffles me because this guy has a ton of power on his own nearly has all of the keys at his disposal and only takes two or three with him. Anyways the duo tries to use power tools and other stuff found around the house to try and break through the chest but no luck. A couple of creative thoughts come from trying to set it on fire and leave it in the Wellhouse so Gideon could not enter. However because it is magical the chest has ways of defending itself. Its a comical moment to see a little rain cloud appear overhead when the fire gets heavy, but for Nina and Bode its another problem they still can not figure out.
