That might make him her protector or it might make him the Big Bad Wolf who’s in charge of the forest- or both. The only times she gets in and out safely are when Nick is involved. In the forest, June finds clearings, empty old buildings, inhabitants who live off the grid in odd buildings and other strange sights, such as the dead rapist, but whenever she enters it’s much more difficult than expected to get out. First she was with Moira, then Luke, now Serena. This season’s motif of June, lost in the No Man’s Land Forest with a companion and in danger, continues. June runs deeper into the forest, then stops and reconsiders. On her next contraction, she drives off the road and gets stuck in mud. She jogs away from the car as Serena tells her she’s not going to shoot her and tries to follow in the car. She immediately starts apologizing, but June has had enough and stops the car. Serena has another contraction and accidentally pulls the trigger, firing a shot through the windshield. June does, but questions where Serena wants her to go and what Wheeler’s men did with Luke.

She sees a man (Anton Lesser) standing in shadow at the end of the hall. Maura runs down the hall wearing only a hospital gown. We can probably assume it’s 1899, given the title of the show, but it could be anytime with wall sconces for lighting. We rush through the swirling whirlpool-vortex and come out in a mental hospital housed in the old stone building we saw from the air. Images: first person perspective of flying through clouds in the sky, then we view snowy, barren ground flash to open sea flash to rocky mountains and valleys, with castle or old stone mansion flash to ocean with ship flash to craggy, cold, barren land with black pyramid back to sea, which is choppy and opens into the watery vortex from the trailers. The brain is deeper than the sea, for hold them, blue to blue, The one the other will absorb, as sponges buckets do.
