Reader, I hope you’re as excited as I am to have our Victorian era detective pals back in action! Remember how last season Detective Mustache (Nash) offered our pal Victoria Mars (Eliza) the opportunity to run his office while he went off to set up a new branch in Paris? And how Duke Silver (William) had just gotten dumped by Arabella? It’s been a while, so if you, like me, needed a refresher, you can find all my previous recaps here.
Well, there’s no other way to put this, reader: our season 3 finale gets off to what I, a fan of puns, am legally required to describe as an … explosive start. Victoria Mars gets a package at the office, and is seconds away from opening it when Detective Mustache runs in and yells at her to put it back down on the desk. VERY slowly. Why? Because there’s a bomb in there, and he knows that because he ALSO got a very special delivery at his office this morning. And so did Moses! Thankfully, none of the bombs were actually set up to explode, but still: yikes! The three of them roll up to Scotland Yard (leaving their respective explosives at home, naturally) at Victoria Mars’ insistence.
