Eastwick: How Many Witches Are There?
Lots of good stuff went on this week on “Eastwick,” and it was a big departure from the movie, showing the show can be its own entity.
The biggest story of course was Joanna looking into who Daryl Van Horne was, only to uncover a connection to someone who came to town years ago named Sebastian (something-or-another). She found a photo of Sebastian, who of course was Daryl, and with him were three women . . . One was Bun, who is in the hospital. The other she recognized as a woman living on the outskirts of town. She went to see her, only to learn that the woman killed Sebastian years ago!
Other stories going on, Kat made up with her crummy husband, but realized their marriage was over and their make-up sex was really goodbye sex. Meanwhile Roxanna tried to put off committing to her boy-toy (Kyle XY) who wanted to be her boyfriend. By the end of the show she agreed though.
Also some weird writer from Ireland came to town. Roxanna dreamed he would try and kill her, but in her dream he had a scar. Roxanna saw in real life he didn’t have it though. He claimed he was researching witchcraft. By the end of the show he did brand himself with the symbol from the dream (a variation of the celtic knot, a triad symbol).
Like I said, I loved how this episode ventured off. I love the idea that Daryl has been to town before . . . and was killed? Also who is the third woman in the photo Joanna found? Her face was slightly turned, aka creating a mystery. Why do I feel like it will be one of three’s mother and Daryl will be one of their father? (He hasn’t slept with all of them yet has he, that would dismiss that idea). Otherwise if it’s not one of them, I think Daryl will have spawn in the town!
I don’t think Daryl has slept with any of them yet?? If he has a kid, it will be someone else. There’s already too much sexual tension to have one of the new 3 be his spawn – too icky!! Maybe the old 3 is a way to tie in the movie version? Didn’t Cher, Michelle Pfifer, and Susan Sarandon (was that the 3) off Jack/Daryy in the end? And, they each had a son from him. That could be a cool twist

I thought he had at least slept with Roxanna in the first episode, but I keep multitasking too much.
Yes the three had Jack’s kids and killed him, kinda. He showed up on the TV at the end, but the women turned the TV off (he was trying to talk to his kids)

I don’t believe that he slept with Roxeanna, she keeps rejecting him. But they did kiss, and she kept slapping him. Also, was it me or was the symbol that the writer guy was branding on himself the same symbol outside the door of the lady Joanna went to see? I feel like he is somehow connected to the witchy stuff, like a witch hunter or something, or possibly one of the sons of the 3 in the picture.
