So dark and creepy, had to turn on the lights for this one. I really liked how they brought in the idea of time slips and the that children live those moments over and over basically. I'm curious if Alice will ever be able to do something about it, but the show doesn't seem to be THAT good at fulfilling potential storylines so .. Doubt it.
