S15E3, "Death and the Divas" starts off with an intriguing blood sucking murder (or two), so you're hooked in from the get go. John and Sarah giddily attend a horror film festival with stars in their eyes, cute couple these two. Kate shows up as well--are we to discover she has a life outside her medical scrubs and possibly a personality outside of expert on decomposition? Ooh, it's raining at night, how atmospheric! American accents? Oh, dear me--hopefully they're the next victims! Ha! A pair of lovers in bed? Hopefully they're next! Pleasant scenery and eye-candy interiors keep me satisfied. A steady pace of motives fall around, until the 2nd murder itself drops--then a couple more motives add up, keeping me curious. The supporting guest cast acts very well (some familiar faces), but there are several scriptural raunchy bits--silly, though they match the old, vampy vibe of campy movies. Vampy campy! Still, an actual sex scene with sounds and all is jarring, but thankfully brief. Leads me to laughter, though, when Jones gets the wrong idea about Sarah being part. Although the ear piercing screaming is too much even in its suspenseful ending, it's another episode fit for a fun-filled Halloween night, or any day!
