Can somebody explain why the mother of the taxidermist sacrificed herself, and how that stopped the animals from going after anyone else? I didn't get that.

Regardless, I thought this was the best episode yet. An interesting mystery and the characters are coming into sharper focus. It was also cool to see Nicholas Campbell get a lot of screentime. (I do wish Emily Rose hadn't cut her curls, though).

My only gripe with this show is how slowly they're developing the bigger story arc. It seems like we get one mention of the "Cincinnati Kid" mystery per episode and never learn anything of substance.

Beats me! I actually gave up on the show last week because the resolution of the "mystery-of-the-week" was formulaic (the perpetrators always seem to go free with no repercussions from the law). I tuned in for the last 20 minutes and saw how the mother was sacrificing herself and thought that was a mildly interesting change of pace.

IMHO, while the two primary leads and setting are appealing, the weekly mystery on the "troubles" are not, thus my decision to give up on the show.
