It’s accompanied by flashbacks of him beating Megan’s mom and brother. In the present day, Raimy spends most of her time listening to recordings of the Deacon’s stepdaughter, Megan, accounting of how terrible of a person he was. Frank is too busy worrying about missing Raimy’s clarinet concert to be committed to murder, which makes him a good dad, but a lackluster plot element. She guides Frank into taking some money from the Deacon’s church, which is what present day Deacon did when he skipped town.
It’s much more captivating to see Raimy’s commitment to ending this guy’s life, as he ruined hers essentially. Of course, everyone should feel guilt about taking someone else’s life, but with Frank, it just feels unprofessional. One would think a police officer would be better at a covert murder, but Frank has awkward hardware store encounters and and heavy guilt that makes him not ideal. She does eventually convince him to do the murdering, though, and he prepares to go to the Deacon’s house, kill him, and bury him in the woods. He’s much more hesitant than she is, probably because he hasn’t lived in a world where is mom and dozens of others have been taken by this creep. It takes some moral convincing on her part to try to make her dad to commit cold blooded murder. Which comes down to murder, obviously, as Raimy repeats the “cutting of the tree trunk” metaphor for the zillionth time. Yes, that is a pun, given as both our leads are gearing up to be murderers in a big way.Īfter the anticlimactic reveal of Deacon Joe being the Nightingale himself, this episode focuses on how to get rid of him. “The Edison Effect” should definitely have been the fall finale, as it was much more exciting than anything last month, and ended with one killer cliffhanger.
After a month of being off the air, FREQUENCY is back and is slightly more interesting than before.
