If you ever wanted to know what a baby weretiger is like in he Midnightverse, this episode is just what you need. When a woman dies giving birth to one that she hoped the Rev would look after, Olivia and Lem become parental figures to a rapidly aging weretiger that's set to become eighteen (physically/psychologically) in just a few days. Though this week's episodic supernatural story doesn't do much to build on the larger mysteries building in town, it does offer a deeper character insight for Olivia. Her father abandoned her at a young age and then her step-mother tricked her out for drug money. Arielle Kebbel finally get the opportunity to be more vulnerable in a way she hadn't previously. It's only logical that it would take time for Olivia to reveal these character insights since she is such a guarded character. We can only hope that the series will be renewed so this type of character content can continue across all the leads.

Manfred's very good at making bad decisions. Though he's still licking his wounds after the dissolution of his relationship with Creek it hardly seems wise to fall into bed with a married woman, regardless of how well he and Patience work together in their investigatory work. Admittedly it makes for an exciting escalation in what's to come once Kai returns to town. Manfred hasn't been able to continue his investigation into Kai specifically but previews have already shown that next week's episode will see him back in action. We're hoping it gives François Arnaud another opportunity to do some extreme supernatural acting since it's one of his greatest strengths.

The fifth episode of "Midnight, Texas" previews some juicy plot details. With both Fiji and Manfred having dealings with supernatural forces, hopefully we're going to get that much closer to uncovering a way for Fiji to get back with Bobo and for Manfred to uncover what's really going on with the newcomers to Midnight. Also enticingly previewed is Olivia's discovery that her friend has been in contact with her father who it seems will be coming to Midnight for an awkward and potentially violent family reunion. Sounds like a perfect way to spend the holiday season! What do you all think of these new images? Preview them below!

An ominous curse is still putting in Bobo in danger, much to Fiji's horror when she indulges in the view of him having a shower. She reaches out to Manfred for help in finding the answer when she seeks contact with her dead aunt in Witch-Hell. Manfred's mutual attraction with Patience is growing, especially while Kai is away on a trip. But Patience isn't the only married person finding themselves attracted to someone outside of their nuptials, as Joe goes demon-hunting with Walker again. But which moments of the episode stood out the most this week? Let's explore.

"The light was on"

Manfred continues to throw himself into whatever situations will help his friends. It speaks to how deeply he cares for the family he has made for himself in Midnight and is perhaps a coping mechanism to quell the loneliness after Creek left him. The flirtation with Patience is a bit lukewarm in our estimation but the nightmarish sequence of Manfred navigating Witch-Hell while Fiji seeks out answers from her dead aunt was some truly excellent horror filmmaking. The more practical approach to the effects through costuming, prosthetics, red lighting and quality camera work is truly a feast for the eyes.

"I needed a change"

It's still unclear what the larger plan is for Joe's growing flirtation with Walker, the demon-hunter. We're not necessarily opposed to an eventual throuple with Joe's husband but it does seem fishy since Joe's meetings with Walker have largely been kept secret. Nonetheless it's exciting to see our rouge Angel back in action and kicking demon butt, particularly since he's so good at it. The haircut may seem like an inconsequential addition to the episode so we have to presume that it speaks to some sort of symbolism that Joe is finding a new part of himself. Regardless of being an immortal, there's still room for Joe to evolve and explore new sides of his character. What better way to revamp his life on earth than to put his strength to use and fight off demonic threats to the peaceful town of Midnight?

"This curse has nothing to do with sex"

It took an entire season to get this beautiful couple together and only three episodes to tear them apart again. Bobo and Fiji have been robbed of happiness yet again once Fiji finds out that the curse is after Bobo regardless of whether or not the pair get handsy with one another. As long as Bobo loves Fiji his life is in danger. To be quite frank, our skepticism of this plot line doesn't merely stem from our adoration of the pair together. Why is it only coming after Bobo now when the two had been together for a sufficient amount of time already? It feels more like an executive need to stir up drama when there's already plenty of supernatural threats to add excitement to the show. But we'll give credit where credit is due, and note that Parisa Fitz-Henley gave a beautifully heartbreaking performance when Fiji forced herself to break up with Bobo.

The fourth episode of "Midnight, Texas" is keeping up the show's fast pace, or at least we're predicting as much based on the promotional images NBC just released. In addition to Manfred riling up a crowd while waving around a wad of cash, there's plenty of other juicy tidbits being previewed. Manfred and Patience are growing closer, further evidence that Manfred isn't the best at making smart choices. Patience is a married woman, Manfred, you naughty boy. Lem is holding a newborn baby while the mother of that child is lying on the ground with a bloody abdomen. We're guessing that she's dead but we'll have to tune in to be sure.
