Midnight, Texas returns this week for another episode, the sixth, entitled “Blinded by the Light” and answers started to pop up while a manhunt was organized by our favorite midnighters.

Everyone’s got secrets and in this episode the characters took most out of the way and that will definitely help in the upcoming war. Fiji revealed that the demon wasn’t quite as gone as everyone hoped, Joe revealed his angel self to everyone and an enemy between the allies was unmasked. Maybe it isn’t very fair to call Connor an ally, since he wasn’t quite on the team, but he sure as hell wasn’t considered an enemy. It was great that there was only one storyline in this episode. Usually there are more than one (in pretty much every show, not just this one) but I think it feels more relaxing a bit to follow an episode with only one storyline because you know that nothing else will be introduced.

The episode started with yet another missing girl and it didn’t take long for the team to find a connection between this and Aubrey’s death. The team divided to conquer and instead of the girl they were searching for, they found another one, which made me realize that they had a serial killer in their hands. I actually thought that Aubrey’s death had already been solved, that Lowry did it, but apparently that was just the official story. Not sure how I missed this, but well…

It was nice for a change to see that the big bad of the week wasn’t a supernatural threat, but a human one. Sure that most of the times human threats are boring but I don’t think this was the case. Of course that this is a supernatural show, but humans can be monsters too, and in this episode this was the case. What wasn’t so nice was how they developed Connor’s new persona. Of course that there are psychopaths and sociopaths, but I think it is common knowledge that they are not born this way (especially psychopaths), they usually go through some sort of traumatic event that changes them forever. The writers could have made that to be the death of Connor and Creek’s mother, but Connor said, while Creek thought they were talking about their father, that he was always wired differently. That is the only thing that felt off in this episode. However, it was still great to see this twist, I definitely did not see this coming, but at least Connor won’t be around to stall any longer like he did in episode 4.

This episode had more focus in Creek’s family, and it was surprisingly good. I don’t really like any of them since I think humans don’t really fit in these kinds of shows (expect Olivia, she’s awesome), but the way it was played made it enjoyable to watch. Creek’s brother is gone now (in a way that was so smooth that it almost made it feel like we had never seen Connor before), but her dad is still around. I don’t think he will stay for long, though. Creek is the one that looks like will stick around, but I guess that is fine since she seems to be the less of two evils.

But things took all kinds of turns and in this episode we learned that the enormous amount of ghosts in Midnight is making Manfred sick. This was later announced to be another consequence of the vail being very fragile. In fact, that is why all kinds of creatures have found their way to Midnight recently. I do love it when a show explains why they are always dealing with different threats. Sometimes monsters just pop up, and though they have their reasons, creatures showing up one after the other doesn’t often seem very realistic.

It appears that Midnight, Texas is back to what seems to be its main storyline: the demon and the prophecy. With Joe linked to this prophecy and with a Joe centric episode next week, it looks like this focus will continue. I don’t know why, but I really like Joe’s character, and in this episode he definitely helped to save the day. But now that he revealed himself it looks like “they” will come for him. It is unclear who “they” are but I think we will found out soon. Another great twist was that final scene. Joe made it seem like Chuy may not be human. I am not sure if that is what he meant, but it looked that way. Can’t wait to have answers.

This was definitely a really amazing episode, the best so far in my opinion, and so I am giving it an 8.3/10.

The seventh episode of this first season is entitled “Angel Heart” and it is due to air next week, so don’t miss my review.
