If I were to make a religious comparison, Penny Dreadful: City of Angels Season 1 Episode 8 would be a moment of redemption in what has been a sinfully sordid mess of a narrative.
Despite being titled "Hide and Seek," many characters come out in the open here, clarifying their motivations and airing some long-held secrets.
And while I'm pleased that Maria's getting to dig her heels in and continues to defy Magda's various threats and coercions, the most gratifying Hallelujah moment was Peter standing up to Elsa/Magda's demand that he fire Maria.
A lot about Peter's role in the conflict Magda's been driving the good(?) people of Los Angeles toward made sense in light of his secret past and family.
And it's such a relief to have him come out as anti-Hitler because I was getting a serious complex from all the sympathy I was feeling for a character who appeared to be a Nazi.
