| Episode Guide: Episode Six First Aired: 30th October 2005 Written by: Lucy Watkins Directed by: Andy Goddard Thelma Bates: Jemima Rooper Ella Dee: Laura Pyper Azazeal: Michael Fassbender Malachi: Jospeh Beattie Leon Taylor: Jamie Davis Roxanne: Amber Sainsbury Jez Herriot: Sam Troughton Tom: Samuel Collings Alex: Jemima Abey Nurse Perie: Katrine De Candole Max: Leon Ford Picking up from where we left off last week, Leon, Thelma and Ella are now all staying with Max, helping Ella over her illness. But its not quite that simple. The poisening has worked...she has no powers, and now she's mortal. Five hundred years are catching up with her, and she's dying of old age. The only hope is to perform a little ritual in which she crosses through the realm of the dead and is reborn. I honestly thought at some points in this episode we were actually going to lose our second leading lady only half way through the second series! Alongside the Leon focus, this episode focusses a lot more on the evil gang. Jez and Nurse Perie seem to live with Azazeal and a now grown-up Malachi in his nicely desserted church. Last week Ella said Jex was Rav-someoneorother, Servant of the Fallen Angels, this week Thelma says he actually is one of the Nephilim, so who knows. Perie reveals herself to be one of the original women that tempted the angels to Earth... remember that bit in the Bible? That's her. Quite how she became a fairie along the line is anyone's guess. Its now time tho to bring someone else into the loop. Remember how I said everyone of consequence can now see Thelma? Well this week, she slips Leon the potion to help him see the ghostly realm...and she tells him everything about the Nephilim, in her own way. "I was sacrificed by one, Felix was kebabbed by one, and Cassie went the whole hog and slept with one." So with Leon now fully on board, and the evil gang trying to stop them at every turn,Ella is restored to her full health (apparantly killing Perie in the process), and now we can press on with the plot... maybe... eventually...
