Cloak and Dagger, “Vikingtown Sound”, Review!

Tandy has given up hope and captured by Andre.  We hear some jazz as a paper floats, a missing girl poster, picked off the street in a garbage truck that passes the Viking motel.  The horn blows inside the room played by Andre, Tandy is asleep on the bed, and then all is dark.  O’Reilly enters a drug lab with police tape, a crime scene, and Cloak enters.  Tyrone picks up a shovel that was sliced and both recognize it was by Tandy.  She wakes up in the bed.  Andre tells her that she should be careful not to move from the bed.  He says the experiences were real for her.  Tyrone is beating himself up for being angry at Tandy.  She stands up and tries to form her Light Dagger, but can’t form it.  Without hope, she will need Tyrone to activate her powers.  Lia enters the motel room with a huge man, Bo (Theodus Crane).  Adina works on her kitchen and sees Conners tied in a chair who wakes up.  He asks to use the restroom while she starts cooking to work things out.  Adina is still angry at Conners killing Billy.  Lia tells Tandy the routine.  She opens the door to show Tandy they are free to go.  Lia tells Tandy her friends won’t save her.

Tyrone searches Andre’s center and then sees him.  He says he is looking for Tandy.  Tyrone intorduces himself to shake hands and sees the record store and the “Tandy + Tyrone” tape on a record.  Antoine using his dream world power flips the record with the tape, “Tandy Does Not Care About You.”  The girl, Del (Bianca A. Santos), sweeping the room is told the reality by Tandy.  Conners explains about the night of the oil rig explosion.  He explains about the changing of records.  Then, he says he spent eight months and finding himself.  Otis enters and sees Conners.  Tyrone sees the Tyrone Johnson record.  Andre goes to seeing the wave pattern he saw on the record wall, but Chantelle is suspicious.  Tandy sees the opportunity to escape and tries to leave walking out.  She sees a bus and starts to run towards it.  Bo pulls her back.  Lia was informed by Del.  Bo covers Tandy’s mouth and Del breathes smoke that knocks her out.  This is an important part of the episode, the cult mentality, where the abused are told what their abusers want them to believe.  Conners hears the arguments and moves the chair to use his mouth and take a cutting knife, but drops it before Adina returns.  She asks where is Billy’s body.  

Misery is at the record store and takes off the record and puts on a Tandy record.  We really haven’t seen Misery until this point.  The dream world with the records shows up again here, the way D’Spayre controls his victims.  This gives something to Tyrone on the city tram and he is joined by girl ballet dancers, he puts on his cloak.  Tandy wakes up, checked by Lia, but she can’t move.  Lia tells about her dress up as a kid and puts a white dress on Tandy.  She places headphones onto Tandy.  Misery plays a record of sirens and then Tyrone sees several passing ambulances.  He makes a call from a rooftop and has some spray paint.  Chantelle knows that Andre is close to becoming a god.  She is suspicous about Andre.  He stabs her.  At the record store, he sees a pile of records and Chantelle is there!  Tyrone has spray painted a pattern on the roof.  An ambulance driver stops and Tyrone cloaks in to ask where is Tandy.  Del checks on Tandy.  She was told some expected girls were killed and Tandy says they were saved.

Chantelle says to Andre the pattern shows “the bridge, the waves, the water.”  She sees Misery outside.  He challenges her to play records.  There is a baby crying, Evita, and she shows no fear.  In the Johnson house, Connors says they could not find Billy’s body, Adina doesn’t belive him and starts crying.  She only wants to bury her son.  He tells her his body is at the fairground.  Adina thanks him.  The Viking motel at night, Del sees Bo checking on the candy machine, Lia sees she has taken his cell phone.  Del knows the truth.  Tandy hears this from the next room and forms her Light Dagger.  I really like it is Tandy saving Del, but it is Del who gives Tandy back hope.  Misery shatters the records.  The ambulance crashes and Cloak appears.  Lia struggles with Del and Tandy cuts through the wall with the Light Dagger.  Tyrone fights with Bo and uses his cloak powers to defeat him.  She throws Light Daggers and finally the pair see each other, but Tyrone collapses.  He seems to be dissolving!  This almost seems like the death scene in the dream world that stole away Tandy’s hope, but we know the duo will find a way.     

Four Light Daggers out of Five!
