This week's 666 Park Avenue is entitled "A Crowd of Demons." It has lots of high drama, a festive Halloween Party, ghost hauntings, and more speculation about Henry's (David Annable) potential to pursue a political career.
Henry gets more public attention for his heroism for stopping a crazed shooter in last week's episode "Hero Complex," saving Commissioner Pike's life, and Jane's (Rachel Taylor), in his sudden forward thrust to stop the killer from mass murder.
The Drake's past is re-enacted when the ghost images of a little girl keep coming back to Jane, as they had in the episode "The Dead Don't Stay Dead." Her investigation of the little girl's past reveals that her mother had been killed violently by the father, Peter Kramer. The murder happened on Halloween of 1929 in apartment 5f of The Drake.
This show opens as the crazed ghost of Peter Kramer chases his wife throughout apartment 5f of The Drake on Halloween night. Their little girl, who appears frequently as an apparition to Jane, hides nervously under the bed with hand clinched to a small doll. Finally, Kramer hacks his wife to near death with a huge hatchet.
She stumbles by the bed in the master bedroom and hands an elaborate brooch to her daughter before she collapses and dies; there's blood everywhere. This scene is the most dramatic since the series premiered. It reminds this writer of Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho with the fast-paced action, eerie music, and crazed killer.
The action quickly moves to the Halloween party where guests stream in while pop music blasts and psychedelic lights provide the background. During the party, media consultant Laurel Harris, suggests that Henry use his newly found image as a city hero to run for mayor. Henry opposes the idea of going into politics stating that "I'm not a hero I was just at the right place at the right time."
