Mad Santa

Giving that scene competition for more predatory is Dr. Thredson bearing down on Lana. He tells her the details of her car accident were in all the papers, characterized as an escaped mental patient being returned to her rightful asylum. He tells her that since she left, he's been "in mourning." She made him kill Bloody Face, after all. Made him dispose of all the evidence of him from his house. (R.I.P. Nipple Lamp. I think I'll miss you most of all.) Lana defiantly (if, you know, stupidly) tells him that she's still a witness to his depravity. Of course, he says, she's totally unreliable, what with taking up residence in the loony bin and all. He was going to just leave it at that, but he says that she betrayed him. "You made me give you my intimacy," he says, grossly, and for that she must pay. He rambles on a bit more about being adrift since she left him, only now he realizes that he was a phoenix all along, and blah blah blah. Get busy killing or get busy shutting the fuck up, Ollie. He finally declares his intention for Lana's skin to be the start of a whole new Bloody Face, at which point she starts screaming again. He goes to drag her out, but he opens the door to a clanging blow from Kit. Every door in this place has a person waiting behind it with a weapon. It's in the charter.

Leigh continues to menace Sister Jude, with her begging him to realize that she's not the enemy. He throws her at the wall, and she bangs into the cane cabinet, opening it. Leigh is struck by memories of his abuse at the hands of Sister Jude and her cane. "My welts never healed," he tells her, what with never being allowed out for sunlight, medicine, or even simple bathing. He was in that hole for a solid year, and the wounds putrefied, seeping pus now. (Sorry for that description, but if I have to have it in my head, so do you.) He bends Jude over her desk and begins whipping her, reminding her that she once told him that she was "softening him up" to that God wouldn't have to work so hard to enter him with his light. Okay, gross, Jude. Leigh declares that there is no God. But there is a Santa Claus. And he's dishing out retribution, it looks like.
