A much needed getaway leads to a long moment of domesticity for Vanessa (Eva Green) and Ethan (Josh Hartnett). But they are not the typical couple nor is their time together quiet for long. Meanwhile, back in London, Ferdinand Lyle (Simon Russell Beale) continues translating the relics with Dr. Victor Frankenstein’s (Harry Treadaway) assistance. Their discovery is quite unnerving and explains much about the unique connection between Vanessa and Ethan. And then there’s our lovely Lily (Billie Piper), who shows us a whole new side to her burgeoning personality.
