Last week, the dividing lines were drawn. It was going to be team Dwight and the Guard against team Nathan and his deluded insistence that Audrey is still alive somewhere inside of Mara. This week I expected that tension to be ratcheted up ever so slightly. While that wasn’t the case (disappointingly), Duke’s role in these newly defined relationships was explored in a way that almost made up for the lack of forward momentum in the conflict between Nathan and Dwight. This episode of Haven was also another strong use of the Trouble of the Week to connect with a primary ensemble member’s emotional arc. Unfortunately, the Trouble in question of was so ridiculous that it was hard for it to leverage the emotional oomph that it was intended to smack us with. In short, Duke is dying because of his current cursed state AND he’s coming to grips with having lost the great love of his life. Jodie’s ray of light bursting from her chest killing folks was, theoretically, supposed to appeal to Duke who also feels like he is combusting and hurting everyone around him. Too bad that a woman standing around screaming while light shoots out of her abs is not remotely gripping. But otherwise, good try, show!
