“To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield” these are the words of the poet Alfred Lord Tennyson, who the episode is named after in the season premiere of Penny Dreadful. Last season, things were left off in a very desolate place with our characters disbanding and going their separate ways. We come back to find what some of these characters have been doing since we last saw them…and I think it’s safe to say that things aren’t well for them…we meet some new faces and that last scene in the premiere was just fantastic and I cannot wait to see how this new story unfolds.
We have come to an end once again, and bleak does not even describe the season finale as my best friend told me when she watched it…in one word she summed up the finale as: desolate and she was not kidding. What a heartbreaking hour, but yet it was so beautifully done…so here we go one last time until next year.
Vanessa and Evelyn finally face off and prepare for battle, Sir Malcolm is going mad, Caliban gets himself into some trouble…while Lily and Dorian have some fun, and it’s another full moon so you know this doesn’t bode well for a certain someone.
Sir Malcolm finally sees the light, while Angelique makes a discovery about her beau Dorian…and truly Victor has no idea what is in store for him when it comes to his two creations.
Vanessa returns to Ballentree Moor along with Ethan after trying to get away from the demons that plague them..while seeking a bit of solace together and someone from Vanessa’s past returns that sets in motion something that Vanessa might never come back from.
