    How did Coraline survive the staking and fire? We don't know. She is back and being a poser trying to pass herself off as a photographer. Mick is positive that this woman is his wife but he can't smell her. She is human. How did she become human? He attacks her, looking for a tattoo he knows she has. It's not there. Until the end of the movie when she washes off the make up and you can see that tattoo. Check it: we all know it's his wife and he doesn't! Where is this strange story going from here?moreless

    This wasn't a great episode. Prior to this episode Moonlight has been a great and extremely enjoyable series. Last weeks episode was particularly excellent, but this following episode was not really up there with the standard last weeks episode set. I mean that is not to say that the episode was completely terrible, it just wasn't my favourite. For one: due to Mick's new found obsession with "Morgan" the episode lacked the quality Mick/Beth time that I so sincerely love. The case of the week wasn't as interesting as they have been in past episodes. So that was a little disappointing because it did not live up to the standard of excellence to which I've become accustomed. Thank goodness for Josef. If it wasn't for him then this episode would have very much have disappointed me. He really bought some light comedy to the episode, which might just have been a little bit redeeming for the episode as a whole.moreless

    A terriffic episode! We get to delve deeper into Mick's past and learn more about His and Corraline's relationship. The plot shows a darker side to Mick as he is ever so determined to expose Corraline, maybe a little to determined after he attacks her in his vampire form. We also learn how old Josef is, which gives us more of an idea of the life that he has lived and maybe why he is content with his vampirism.This episode i feel has put a strain on Mick and Beth's relationship through Mick's facination with 'Morgan'. The plot is sound and offers Mick reason to believe that Morgan is Corraline, but snatches it away, but still reveals Morgan to be Corraline to the viewers which should make an interesting next episode. Overall it contains vital information if you want to continue watching this show.moreless

    Things seem to be working nicely for Beth and Mick. That is until a fire destroys an old hotel that holds special meaning to Mick. Then he spots her, a dead ringer for his ex wife, the one he thought he killed. He spends the entire hour trying to convince himself that it's her - and everyone else - while in a complete state of shock. This woman looks identical to his wife.
    Coraline - or Morgan in this case - worked out better in flashbacks in the past. I was not too happy to see his ex wife come aboard the show in present day. I hold my breath with a sinking feeling now. It wasn't my favorite story line.moreless
