What We Do In The Shadows Season 4 Episode 4
Okay, picture this: you're a vampire, but you're also a homeowner with a serious mold problem. Sounds like a nightmare, right? Well, that's pretty much the gist of episode 4 of What We Do In The Shadows Season 4.
The Mold and the Mess
Our favorite Staten Island vampires are facing a new kind of horror: black mold. It's not just an eyesore; it's actually affecting their supernatural abilities, which, let's be honest, is a pretty big deal when you're undead.
Nandor, ever the drama king, is particularly worried about his strength. He’s convinced the mold is turning him into a feeble, dusty old man. Cue hilarious scenes of him struggling to open pickle jars!
Must Read
Nadja's Spiritual Solution
Never one to shy away from the bizarre, Nadja decides that the best way to combat mold is through… you guessed it… a séance. She believes summoning the spirits will somehow purify the house.
The séance is, of course, a complete disaster. Instead of banishing the mold, they end up attracting even more unwanted ghostly guests. Talk about a party foul!
Laszlo's Sentimental Journey
Meanwhile, Laszlo takes a more hands-on approach to dealing with the infestation. He decides to delve into the house's history, hoping to find some hidden solution within its walls.
This leads him on a sentimental journey through the house's past, uncovering old trinkets and memories. It's a surprisingly sweet moment, showing a softer side to the usually crude and eccentric vampire.
Colin Robinson's…Development?
Let’s not forget Colin Robinson, or should we say, Baby Colin Robinson. He's still growing at an alarming rate, and in this episode, he starts showing some signs of… adolescence? Or at least, a very weird, vampire-energy-sucking version of it.
He’s suddenly obsessed with mundane things like staplers and water coolers. It's both hilarious and deeply unsettling to watch a child-like version of Colin Robinson drain the life out of office supplies.
The Guillermo Factor
Poor Guillermo, as always, is the unsung hero of the household. He's the one actually trying to fix the mold problem, while also dealing with the vampires' ridiculous antics. He deserves a medal.
He's constantly cleaning, organizing, and generally trying to keep the house from falling apart. You almost feel bad for him… almost.
Unexpected Twists and Turns
What makes this episode so great is the way it blends the mundane with the supernatural. One minute they're arguing about the best way to clean mold, the next they're battling ghosts.
The episode ends with a somewhat-resolution to the mold problem. The vampires learn to…coexist with it. Which, in their case, probably means they'll just ignore it until it becomes a sentient being.
It's a reminder that even immortal beings have to deal with everyday annoyances. And that sometimes, the best way to solve a problem is to just embrace the chaos.
Overall, episode 4 is a fun, quirky, and surprisingly heartwarming installment in the What We Do In The Shadows saga. It's a perfect example of what makes the show so unique: its ability to find humor in the absurd and humanity in the undead.
