SURREALESTATE Season Finale Recap: (S03E10) The Elephant in the Room
SurrealEstate Season 3 Episode 10, 'The Elephant in the Room,' delivers a conclusion to the overarching narrative, effectively putting the Malec stuff to bed. It's wrapped a bit too cleanly for my liking, but that's the nature of this campy, heartwarming show. The real one-two punch is August's death and subsequent funeral. While it comes out of left field, it's very much true to life — death can be sudden and quick. I sincerely hope Maurice Dean Wint continues to appear in some capacity should Syfy renew this series. Luke makes major life moves, buying The Tell-Tale Heart and proposing to Megan. There's something quite final about this season finale; however, that cliffhanger certainly leaves some storytelling room for another season. RELATED: Read our recap of the previous SurrealEstate episode, 'Grave Matters' SurrealEstate, 'The Elephant in the Room' We open with a flashback to 35 years ago. Elvis the Elephant (Patrick Kwok-Choon), aka Malec, persuades kid Luke to bash Carl's brains out, but not before trying to hop into Luke's body. Elvis claims Carl is responsible for Victoria leaving Luke. Time to kill daddy! Luke grabs the bat and wheels Elvis, who's in a wagon, into Carl's bedroom. However, instead of committing patricide, kid Luke swings the bat at Elvis. Carl leaps out of bed and secures the possessed stuffed animal. Then, Carl drives him and Luke to the lake so they can dump Malec there, perpetually trapped inside the security box. Carl reassures his son that Malec can't hurt them anymore. The Laughing Demon In the present day, Luke (Tim Rozon) meets with Susan (Sarah Levy), August (Wint) and Lomax (Elena Juatco) to discuss next steps. They know about Tyler being Malec. Luke sought advice from Phil, who shared that Malec is known as 'The Laughing Demon,' despite hating laughter. Luke explains that Malec's objective is to jump into good people and make them do bad things. RELATED: Our 15 Favorite Wynonna Earp Moments Phil also shared that Auggie's devices won't work as they are without some tweaking. If they fail to stop Malec, he will bifurcate and spread like a virus, going after everyone they love. Phil's old church has the Book of Baphomet, which contains Malec's real name. They must recite his real name as part of the exorcism. Yes, they'll have to exorcise Malec from the real Tyler MacNeil. Next, Luke calls Zooey (Savannah Basley) to ask for a favor. She meets with the priest at the church, who talks homophobic smack about Phil. Thankfully, Zooey is the Queen of Comebacks. She asks to flip through the Book of Baphomet and snap pics of the runes in the church's basement. The priest rejects her. However, Zooey spies two nuns walking by and has an idea. Breaking the Habit and a Breakup Later, Luke notices The Tell-Tale Heart is for sale, so he takes a photo of the signage. After Zooey tells Luke that the priest was a no-go, Megan (Tennille Read) calls him to inform him about his mom. Victoria is in the hospital for her heart. Her friend found her unconscious in her living room. Thankfully, she's stabilized now. RELATED: Wynonna Wednesday: Theories for a Wynonna Earp Season 5 Victoria (Jennifer Dale) asks about Tyler. She admits he was one of the voices she heard back in the day. She recognized his voice. Victoria urges her son to exercise caution. Tyler is dangerous. Luke vows to take care of him. Meanwhile, Auggie meets with Rochelle (Joy Tanner) in her office at ASDRA. He asks for a favor — he needs The God Flosser, the tech the team developed last spring. This request angers Rochelle. She's tired of risking her job and reputation for Auggie and his work. It's become too much. She breaks up with him. Aw. Poor Auggie. Rochelle orders her team to give Auggie everything on the device, though. Elsewhere, Zooey ropes Susan and Lomax into impersonating nuns to infiltrate the church basement and steal the Book of Baphomet. The Book of Baphomet After this, Lomax and Susan don habits before pretending to be nuns. Lomax feels this is sacrilegious. She makes a break for the staircase as the priest Zooey chatted with earlier zeroes in on Susan. In the basement, Lomax retrieves the Book of Baphomet. While she blows off the dust on its cover, Tyler/Malec (R Austin Ball) sneezes. He realizes someone's taking the book before bolting out of his house. RELATED: Geek Girl Authority Crush of the Week: Susan Ireland Susan gives the priest an excuse for leaving, claiming she must tend to the ailing bishop. Once she and Lomax are outside with the book, we see Tyler make a beeline for the entrance. Our pair returns to the Roman Ireland Agency, where they run into Crash (Stephen Huszar). Crash assumes this is the secret Susan has been keeping from him. She explains she's not a nun before they kiss in her office. Hawt. Meanwhile, Luke and Tyler chat in the latter's house. Luke is dedicated to selling Tyler's home at top dollar and finding him a new place. Then, Luke invites Tyler to a get-together with his pals at The Tell-Tale Heart. Midlife Crisis or Midlife Win? After this, Zooey combs through the pages of the Book of Baphomet, searching for Malec's real name, while Auggie tinkers away on The God Flosser. Luke reveals he's thinking about purchasing The Tell-Tale Heart. He wants Auggie to talk him out of it. However, Auggie does the opposite — he encourages Luke to make the buy. RELATED: The Woman in the Yard Spoiler Review Then, Luke gets an update on his mom from Megan. She's still stable, but the hospital wants to keep her a while longer. Luke and Megan go for a stroll. He tells her about purchasing The Tell-Tale Heart before admitting he wants them to get back together. The ball is in her court, though. Later, Luke chats with Lloyd (James Allodi) at The Tell-Tale Heart, a man of few words. He informs the stoic bartender about the upcoming party, which is clearly orchestrated to lure in Malec and exorcise him. After this, Tyler/Malec meets with a dealer, who procures a vial of an unknown but deadly substance. Tyler has plans for Luke's big shindig. Laughing At Him, Not With Him Next, the party hath arrived. Lloyd bartends the proceedings. We learn that The God Flosser, now fashioned as Auggie's Death Ray, will be used to exorcise Malec. Luke calls Zooey, who's still searching for the demon's real name in the book. Meanwhile, Tyler administers the deadly substance into multiple empty champagne flutes. RELATED: Underrated Horror Movie of the Month: Daybreakers Finally, Zooey discovers Malec's true name. She writes it down before fleeing the building, making a beeline for The Tell-Tale Heart. A server hands out champagne to the partygoers before Luke gives a speech. Luke shares that he's proposed to Megan. Did she say 'yes,' though? Presumably. He also cracks some jokes, and the laughter from the group vexes Tyler. Then, Luke makes a toast to his oldest friend, who's hiding in the body of his newest friend. He addresses Malec as Elvis the Elephant. Seven (Karen Knox) appears among the attendees, looking disappointed, as everyone laughs at Tyler. Lots of laughing. It drives him insane. Death's Door Suddenly, Zooey bursts into the bar, yelling, 'Charismalec,' the demon's real name. Then, Auggie switches on the Death Ray, using it to lure Malec out of Tyler's body. The exorcism is complete. The gang attends to Tyler after he collapses, Malec having fled his body. RELATED: Read our Reginald the Vampire recaps Next, Lomax explains that she noticed the champagne flutes looked strange, to which Lloyd told her that Malec added poison to them. Thankfully, she and Lloyd swapped the glasses to save the group. Later, Auggie returns home and leaves Rochelle a voicemail. He hopes they can talk soon. However, Death (Hannah Cheesman) pays Auggie an unexpected visit. 'I thought I had more time,' he says. We hear Auggie's glass break from outside the house. Oh, no. RIP, August Ripley. Goodbye, Auggie Our crew attends the funeral service for Auggie. Luke delivers a speech at the graveside. We see Auggie's daughters flanking Luke. Even Rita (Alison Brooks) is among the mourners. Zooey, Susan, Lomax, Luke and Rochelle quote Auggie's favorite philosophers and writers. It's an emotional punch to the gut. RELATED: 10 Out-of-This-World Predictions for Resident Alien Season 4 During the wake, Susan reassures Luke that they'll be okay before she and Crash depart. Megan asks Luke if he'll be okay. He claims he'll see her later. They kiss and exchange 'I love yous' before parting ways. Luke asks Lloyd to let him close the bar. After this, Luke talks to Auggie while holding a framed photo of him. He's desperate to see his friend. He assumes he won't, though, because if anyone has the most finished business, it's August Ripley. Luke wipes the counter and turns off the lights, preparing to leave. Then, he admits he wants to hear Auggie's voice. Someone, presumably Auggie, says, 'Turn around.' Luke whirls around, but we don't see what he sees. Is it really Auggie? Is he gonna stick around as a ghost? Here's hoping we get a Season 4. RELATED: Read our SurrealEstate recaps Seasons 1 through 3 of SurrealEstate are now streaming on Hulu.

'Ginny & Georgia' Season 3 cast talks shocking season finale, physical transformations and diving into a more emotional story
An absolutely beloved show, the Netflix hit Ginny & Georgia is back for Season 3, and it will leave fans entertained, but also distraught and shocked. The big question for Season 3 is whether Georgia Miller, played by Brianne Howey, will be convicted in her murder trial, which of course makes for a particularly emotional journey for her daughter Ginny (Antonia Gentry). The cast of the series, Howey, Antonia Gentry, Sara Waisglass and Felix Mallard, who play Maxine "Max" and Marcus Baker, spoke to Yahoo Canada about all the twists, turns and devastating moment in Season 3. From Georgia losing her physical armour to divining into the reality of Marcus' depression, Max feeling left out of her friend group and Ginny taking a more active role in the decisions in her life. Brian, I want to start with you because there's something you did in the first episode that stuck with me throughout all 10 episodes, and I don't even know how intentional it was. But it's when she's being held and she looks at her hair and she like tries to curl it with her to be like, what's happening here? And as things progress, she does have this visual transformation, and I think there's one moment later on where she's like looking. At the looking in the mirror and her like naturally like curly hair is like coming out, which is similar to what we see in the flashbacks. Is it nice to be able to play with some of those things and again, I don't know how intentional it was or not, but to show this kind of Georgia kind of physical armor that she uses to kind of walk through the world. You're spot on. That's exact Georgia is code switching with her physically. And, and is constantly undergoing transformations and this is unfortunately one of the more raw transformations we see from Georgia because it's true she has, she can, she can't physically use any of the masks she's been hiding behind. There's no more, she's no more scapegoats. There's there's just no one, no one's in her corner. Um, so it was very intentional, um, trying to crimp and curl the hair back up and you're right, like the limp hair is sort of a metaphor for Georgia this season. Like there's no, there's no bells and whistles. This is Georgia's breakdown season and We we see if she rises from the ashes or not by the end. Antonia, for you, um, I think, you know, we've seen so much from Jenny, but I think it's been interesting this season to see her kind of feel like, and we get it mostly at the end of the season, where she feels like she's like taking control of the situation and having to take control of really hard situations. What was it like to guide and go to that space with her where, you know, she is very aware of what's happening and kind of wants to take control of a lot of decisions when she can. Oh, it's so fun. I'm like, yeah, finally. I love a bit of a, she's still reckless, but, but she's she's aware, she's making the choices. She's she's, it's less her reacting to her situation and she's being a lot more like she's gonna set things in motion. She's taking more um agency and The things that are going on in her life, and I think that that's really exciting and um yeah, maybe she's a little scary with it, but um I think that that's super fun. So I hope we see more of that in the future for Jenny. Sarah, I want to start with you because Max is one of my favorite characters, but also great when the first thing you do is bark at someone in the hallway. It's just A phenomenal start to the season. Um, but you know what, it was really fun to kind of watch her feel really left out in this friend group, and to see her try to navigate that. What was it like to go to that place for the season? I think it was a little hard for me just cause I definitely went through that in high school. I think everyone does at some point. I am also a deeply sympathetic person. And I overthink, and I think me and Max are kind of the same when it comes to that. So it was definitely, I was excited because it's always great when you can bring something to screen that you know a lot of people will resonate with, um, but it also sucked because obviously I'm like living in her shoes and and all these scenes where people are, you know, calling her dramatic or like just there's like inside jokes that she doesn't understand like. It's hard. It's hard to like be in that skin and actually have that happen to you. So it was definitely a challenge, but also one that I'm really proud of because I, I really do think it translates on screen quite beautifully. Felix, for you, I mean, you sat with this character for a bit, but honestly that last episode, I think your character like broke me. I was like, so moved by your performance, but he does go to a particularly dark place by the time we get to that last episode, as we see building up as an actor, what's it like to kind of get in that headspace and also get out of that headspace? Thank you. That was that was really sweet to hear. I, I really appreciate that it resonated with you and I think. As an actor, I think it's always like you, it's the dream kind of stuff, you know, you want your character to kind of go through big emotional journeys, big emotional arcs, and I think especially with Marcus, things get really interesting when he's in a not in a very good place and it and it, and it provides such an opportunity to try and play. And push and pull, especially with us to kind of play with our dynamic of like Max and wanting to help him and not being able to, and, and Mark is kind of being caught in his self-destructive kind of cycle, you know. I think the, the important thing with, with acting, you know, anyone, everyone has their own techniques, everyone has their own ways of getting in and out of it. There's such an under, I think for me, I think there needs to be such an understanding of like, you're at work, there's a stunt, and then you go home, you know, and, and protecting yourself and, and wanting to understand that place and come from a place of vulnerability and truth, and then also to be able to take your makeup off at the end of the day and go home and, and, and leave it be, because we're playing pretend. Um, but I think certainly for Marcus, you know, there's some playlists that kind of put you in a, in a weird space or put you in a, in maybe a more vulnerable state. I think we've worked with some really, Wonderful directors and and lots of, there was a lot of support on, on, on both sides of the camera to to kind of help us understand how far we can go and and and uh hopefully we did it justice, you know. Brandfree, one scene in particular that's interesting is when um Georgia has an interesting moment with Marcus that kind of like she's able to confide in him a little bit, but also see similarities. What was it like to to get that moment because I think it's particularly unique. This Georgia Marcus relationship is really interesting. To explore because I think they're probably the two people in this world who love Ginny the most, and they have that in common. And then ironically, Georgia can recognize herself in Marcus and I think it's really beautiful. It's, it's again another very small example where we see a little bit of change from Georgia. She's sort of able to step outside of herself, outside of herself and help not only Marcus, but also it's her relationship with Marcus's mom too, and that's very new for her and and she doesn't always get it right. So, Definitely a work in progress. I have to ask because every time I get to the end of one of these seasons, I'm like shocked by whatever the cliffhanger is, and you get a shock when you get to the end to read them to be like, oh, we're going there for potentially next season and where it's gonna go? Of course, yeah, I'm like how how are we doing this? How does this work? Like, huh? Yeah. Oh, OK. I had to read like I think I had to read the last few pages of episode 10 5 times before I understood what was happening. Um, and I still don't think I get it, uh, which is good, is good. It keeps me on my toes, very present, yeah.

PGA Tour rookie goes low to share Canadian Open lead
PGA Tour rookie Cristobal Del Solar and Denmark's Thorbjorn Olesen each posted a nine-under-par 61 to share the first-round lead at the Canadian Open. Olesen and Chilean Del Solar took full advantage on Thursday of TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley in the venue's PGA Tour debut. They own a one-shot lead over Cameron Champ. Jake Knapp is alone in fourth at seven-under 63. Shane Lowry of Ireland went out in five-under 30 on his way to a round of 64. He is tied for fifth with Denmark's Rasmus Hojgaard and Trey Mullinax. The low Canadian for the day was Taylor Pendrith (65), who set the clubhouse lead in the morning wave before several players passed him by. Defending champion Robert MacIntyre of Scotland is among the several golfers knotted with him in eighth place at five under. Harrison Endycott (67) is the highest-placed Australian, while Aaron Baddeley made a 70. The only other Australian in the field, Karl Vilips, shot a three-over 73 and like Baddeley (tied 96th) will struggle to make the cut. Del Solar birdied 10 of his first 16 holes to pass Olesen for the outright lead and threaten a score of 59. However, he failed to get up and down from the bunker at the par-4 17th hole and took his only bogey of the day. He missed a 15-foot putt for birdie for the outright lead at No.18. Del Solar's claim to fame is a round of 57 he shot on the Korn Ferry Tour in February last year. It was the lowest round ever recorded in a PGA Tour-sanctioned tournament. Olesen, meanwhile, has eight wins on the DP World Tour but is seeking his first title in the United States. Two-time Canadian champion Rory McIlroy is in danger of missing the cut after shooting a one-over 71, which he ended with consecutive bogeys at Nos.8 and 9. The Northern Irishman is playing for the first time since a T47 finish at the PGA Championship.
