As promised, Mick is doing his research on Donovan Shepherd and his "family". His VO tells us what Mick knows so far.
Donovan was big for a while. He had the grunge charm of Curt Cobain and the media savvy of Donald Trump. He could have been a voice of the generation but went Manson in the end. He was executed for killing 6 people and now he's more popular than ever.
Back at Beth's, Audrey is preparing to take a shower.
We see her start the water, check all the locks on the doors and head back to the bathroom. After she passes a closet door it opens slightly. She doesn't see it and steps into the shower.
Back to Mick and is VO. Donovan had a lot of followers that took him seriously. There is a poster on a Shepherd forum by the user name of 1050 Ventana (the address of the massacre) who is posting unlisted information of the DA, judge, jury members and.....Beth's address, where Audrey is staying.
We go back to Beth's where Audrey is stepping out of her shower. There's a message for her on the mirror. Written in the steam are the words reminiscent of Shepherd's last words - "scream my name". (I don't know about you but this gave me chills)
Audrey is, of course, horrified. She runs through the house, first trying the phone (I guess it doesn't work because she hits it then throws it), grabs a letter opener as a weapon and back her way through the dark apartment. A man comes up behind her and says "I'm back." Poor Audrey responds with "No, your dead."
They struggle, she loses her weapon and the stalker promptly falls the the floor. Mick has arrived. Yayyy! The guy is on the floor with Mick holding him there with a hand around the throat (just the one hand - Mick doesn't need two.
) We finally see the guys face clearly. Nope, not Donovan. Mick asks "who the hell are you?"
Beth comes home. She and Audrey are on her couch talking. The young woman doesn't think the guy with Mick is the one she saw out the window. Beth thinks they are similar enough to get confused. Audrey wants to know if they shouldn't be calling the police. The question is followed by some muffled groans of pain coming from another area of the apartment. Beth answers that she thinks Mick wants to talk with him alone.
Mick is cleaning the blood off his knuckles and we get to see how the 'talking' is going. The guy is on the floor and it looks like he's tied to one of the metal legs under the sink. He's spouting junk about how he has rights. Mick reminds him that he broke into a private home and he has the right to shoot him. The idiot tries again, telling the vamp that he's not a cop. Nope, and that means no paperwork for kicking the guys ass. Again. (Squeeeee). They settle in for Q&A session.
Mick wants to know if the guy followed the girls home after the execution and call Audrey. The anwer is 'no'. The next question is if he knows about 1050Ventana.com. The response is a smile. (The idiot!) Mick wants to know whose site it is. The idiot tells him it's a prophet's doing Shepherd's work and even if Mick puts him in jail others will take his place. And Audrey will die. Mick loses patience and grabs the guys nose.
He tells the guy to call the troops off. But the guy says he wouldn't know how and then starts spewing stuff about Mick not knowing abut the love and loyalty Shepherd teaches. "So enlighten me." Mick tells him. The idiot tells him about this big movie producer who is going to do a movie on Shepherd.
Mick's VO tells us how he sometimes hates living in Hollywood.
Okay, who else was squeeing while watching Mick get all badass? Who wanted to see him wipe the floors with the Shepherd wannabe idiot?
