Moonlight: The Ringer
November 10th 2007 04:04
The place where Mick says his parents used to take for brunch after church on Sundays goes up in flames and as he watches, he spots Coraline, his ex-wife, the one who turned him on their wedding night. She says her name is Morgan and she knows Beth. Mick can’t stop staring at her because she looks exactly like Coraline, a vampire he never thought he’d see again because, well, as he puts it, “I killed her.”
Mick tells Joseph he saw Coraline and his friend tries to tell him that if the woman he saw wasn’t a vampire, then she couldn’t possibly be Coraline. Mick tells him he just has to see Morgan.
Morgan shows up to work the next day with her arm wrapped and tells Beth that some punk broke into her apartment and stole her cameras. She wants to hire Mick to try and find him and her equipment. In flashbacks we see how Mick an Coraline met, he was in the band, she was the girl in the rest dress.
Beth, Morgan, and Mick go to visit Morgan’s apartment and Mick asks her to tell him what happened. He’s still very suspicious of her. She tells him that if he found the guy she would remember him because she never forgets a face. Mick tells her that maybe she got a picture of the arsonist at the fire and that’s why he broke in and stole her cameras and nothing else.
Morgan pulls up the pictures on her flash drive and finds that Morgan did catch the murderer on camera. Mick suddenly feels like he’s looking at his own past, at the night he was forced to murder his wife to save Beth. Mick thinks someone staged the whole thing to get back to him. When Joseph reminds him he killed Coraline himself and Mick admits that he never saw the ashes.
Mick starts asking questions about Morgan and Beth is obviously jealous. When he teases her about it she replies, “don’t flatter yourself.” Clearly, thought, she’s jealous.
Mick goes to investigate the burned building and uses his Vampire smell to find a woman’s body right by the window Morgan took the picture. Mick goes back to Morgan’s apartment and dusts for fingerprints, and Morgan suddenly places Mick’s favorite song while she’s waiting for him to finish. While they look at the photo again, Morgan says, “Can you think of a worse way to die?” Mick notices a tattoo on the woman’s shoulder. It’s a tattoo similar to Coraline’s, a Fleur De Lis.
Morgan asks Beth if she and Mick are an item and Beth assures her that that they just work together. Morgan tells her she’s a photographer, she sees things, and she definitely thought she saw a “look”.
Mick runs the fingerprints he found in Morgan’s apartment and it turns out that the murderer is a dead man. He decides the guy has to be a vampire working with Coraline to get back at him. Mick gets Joseph to help with a little breaking and entering search of the dead guy’s house. He finds a copy of Coraline’s favorite book in the guy’s apartment. He’d found the same book in Morgan’s apartment too. When Mick looks in the closet he finds Morgan’s cameras. Joseph decides he needs to see Morgan for himself.
Joseph is there when Mick gives Morgan back her cameras and despite the fact that he agrees Morgan’s a doppelganger for Coraline, Joseph tells him she’s not a vampire, she’s not Coraline. Mick thinks Coraline came back because of Beth, because she can’t stand to see him happy. He also thinks Coraline found a cure for vampirism. Joseph tells him he wouldn’t go back even if he could and that there isn’t a cure. He also says that one of these days Mick’s just going to have to stop hating who he is.
Mick takes Morgan with him to the cemetery and she says she’ll deal with the guards while he sneaks in and tries to find the supposedly dead murderers ashes. Not surprisingly, they’re conveniently missing. Mick’s attacked by him on his way out and when he fights him as a vampire, Morgan suddenly shows up. She calls out to him and when he turns around, Hank is gone and Morgan is running away after seeing his eyes.
Mick chases her down and accuses her of setting him up. He tries to see her tattoo and can’t find one, then sees that she’s till bleeding. He’s more than a little confused that she’s still bleeding from a wound she should have healed from by now. Mick finally tells Beth the truth, that Coraline is the spitting image of his ex-wife. He tells her she died the same way the woman in the fire did and Beth wants to know who killed Coraline. Mick tells her he did, but he won’t tell her how or why. Beth doesn’t remember the night he saved her.
Last scene: “Morgan” wipes the makeup off her Fleur De Lis tattoo. What I want to know is how did Coraline find a cure for vampirism and what was it?!
