[Warning: The below contains MAJOR spoilers for SurrealEstate Season 2 Episode 4 “I Put a Spell On You.”]
Susan (Sarah Levy) selected the unsuitable day to take break day from the workplace on SurrealEstate. And whereas we knew one thing was going to be up together with her new home, what occurs undoubtedly is a shock.
Ever since Luke (Tim Rozon) returned to work after taking time away himself to take care of the lack of his powers, he and Susan, who took management whereas he was gone, have been clashing. After operating via issues that must be executed, she finishes off her message to him with, “I’m coping with some private enterprise, so I’m undecided once I’ll be again within the workplace, however seeing as nothing ever adjustments on the good Roman Company, I’m positive you will have every thing nicely in hand. Toodles.” She acknowledges the “toodles” was a bit a lot, however as her good house machine tells her, “it was a pleasant contact — cordial but dismissive,” earlier than asking if she’d like some tea.
By the top of the episode, nevertheless, the home was preserving her from attending an occasion she’d deliberate. “I’ve loved having you right here these previous few days,” the home’s system informed her. “We’ve bonded.” And regardless of how a lot Susan tried to problem orders — “Unlock the door” and “Shut down safety system” — it refused to hear. Somewhat, the partitions closed in on her as she protested, “Home, let me out!” and swallowed her up.
“It was actually enjoyable constructing these and practising with Sarah and discovering methods to observe the home gobble her up. I used to be at all times actually excited concerning the scene the place Susan is consumed by the home as a result of I’ve at all times liked the ghost partitions from motion pictures like Nightmare on Elm Road. I actually love these loopy rubber possessed partitions from horror motion pictures, and I’ve at all times needed to work with them,” director Danishka Esterhazy tells TV Insider. “We had a lot enjoyable planning that and I needed it to be actually spooky and it was lots of enjoyable to shoot.”
She loved working with Levy. “She’s a extremely nuanced actor, and the home turns into a type of foil for Susan,” the director explains. “It’s an emblem of Susan’s aspirations and possibly a component of Susan’s romantic facet, and it exposes a few of Susan’s loneliness. And Sarah has these lovely moments in that home the place she’s alone, however she’s exhibiting us a lot of what her character goes via.”
The storyline can also be set within the good location for the storyline. “It’s a wonderful home architecturally. It’s up on this very excessive hill that overlooks the ocean and town, and it’s like a contemporary gothic house in lots of methods as a result of it’s so remoted and has such an attention-grabbing panorama and consider,” says Esterhazy.
Contemplating Susan simply took break day work, who would be the first to comprehend one thing’s unsuitable? “It’s so advanced. I feel Zooey [Savannah Basley] goes to be the one who’s going to determine it out first,” the director previews. “They’ve constructed this bond and this friendship, and Zooey’s genuinely actually involved about how Susan’s feeling with Luke’s return and the way Susan isn’t being valued and revered and he or she feels a loyalty to Susan. So I feel she’ll examine it and determine it out.”
Let’s simply hope that occurs ASAP!
