Christina Wendell (played last season by Freya Tingley) just rose from the dead, but as a vargulf, and Shelley (now played in close-up by Madeline Martin—Shelley's physiognomy is played by Michael Andreae) is back and on the run! I hoped we’d see Shelley soon. I’ve been dying to know what happened to her and where she’s been. Why isn’t Christina dead? I thought Shelley killed her, but maybe the vargulf can survive independently? Either way, I’m pretty sure she’s dead now.
Peter (Landon Liboiron) found his way to GONE SIS, or Wagoneer Oasis, and ran right into Roman (Bill Skarsgård). The dream-sharing continues, but Roman still doesn’t want to talk to Peter. I can’t say I blame him, but people are dying, so I hope they get over it. I’m looking forward to their eventual reunion. Peter’s anger is a bit misplaced, though. Roman has every right to be upset: Peter ditched him when he needed him the most, then shows up begging for money instead of apologizing. Peter’s mad at himself, and Roman happens to be an easy scapegoat. Add that to worry about his mother, and well…
Shelley’s been hiding out in an abandoned house, and she’s made friends with a little boy. She’s grown up since last we saw her. We caught a glimpse of it last season, but the facial prosthetics for this character are extremely impressive, covering the majority of her head and half her face, and I love how the monster eye tracks with her normal eye. It adds believability to the character. We also get to see her hands, which are just gnarly. Sorry, Shelley, but I can’t begin to imagine how Dr. Pryce built you that body.
