Kittens crawl around on tender and uncertain kitten feet; puppies roll over, begging to be scratched, long tongues not quite yet completely under control; Eric lies back in his giant Hoyt costume, exposing like three abs, and lets the kittens and puppies crawl all over him, giggling softly as they snuffle and snuggle. Eventually it looks so comfortable, there on the driveway, that Bill hunches down there with him and gives Eric a big ol' hug for being such a sweetheart. Eric takes one of the kittens and pretends like it's talking to Bill, in the cutest Kermit voice, and then beeps Bill on the nose with the kitten's nose, and it's a little cold but he can't feel it because he's a vampire, but then the kitten licks him softly on the cheek, and he feels that. Boy does he ever.
Bill: "Oh, God damn it."

Abuelo: "Probably this Marnie is cutting herself open and letting Ghost Witch Ladies sublet. Like so."
Jesus & Lafayette: "No, she hasn't been possessed as far as we know. Except for when she told us that was what was going on."
Abuelo: "Okay, well, how about we just do this my way?"
Jesus & Lafayette: "We're not really concerned with Marnie right now. It's more about the vampires for us currently."
Abuelo: "Trust me, it's going to be about witch stuff real quick."
Jesus & Lafayette: "[More bitching and moaning.]"
Abuelo: "You know what? Fuck it."
He make the rattlesnake bite Jesus, gets one of his witchy ghost sons to invade Lafayette's body, and calls it a day.
Apparently Lala -- maybe like his mom? -- is a natural medium, that's why his powers are so important and also why he keeps being the one thing that completes the circuit, and also by channeling this Tio of Jesus's, he somehow gets enough power to spontaneously cure Jesus of his recent snakebite. (Or maybe it was a magic snakebite?)
Something, it's not really clear, but that's the vibe I got from watching bonus materials this week. And I like the idea of Lafayette getting shoved into being a healer or whatever by the danger of his loved ones, because he always talks such a good "fuck this" game but invariably it's his love for everybody else that fucks him over. That turns him into something new.
