The season really gets going with a return to the snow globe and its residents. How will her trauma and desire to move on impact the overall arc this season? It’s also worth noting that Rufus wants to talk about magic and keys later, but Ellie shuts him down. Nina and Ellie talk about magic and keys, interestingly noting that they don’t play favorites: “They want to be used - good, bad, they don’t care.” It’s not the key that causes problems, it’s the key-holder. She says that she has that icky feeling that comes after waking from a nightmare - a well-put, relatable sense that every viewer can identify with.

After all, as Doug (Jesse Camacho) jokes in a later scene, it is the “Home of Unexplained Massacres.” It feels like Ellie carries some trauma about what happened both to her and with Lucas, who is now free to finally start his life after the action of the end of season two. Freed from her entrapment that basically held her for all of season two, she is coming back to Matheson with her son Rufus (Coby Bird), but she seems a little hesitant. Is something wrong? Has he forgotten them altogether? Or is this just typical young-man behavior - a guy breaking out on his own to forge his own identity? Given the chaos of the last two years, who could blame him?Īs Tyler leaves Massachusetts, Ellie (Sherri Saum) comes home again. Will Tyler really not come? He’s been leaving Kinsey on read. The sense that the Lockes aren’t whole without Tyler continues into a scene in which Nina and Kinsey plan the seating at the wedding. “Things are finally kind of normal.” Famous last words. “I’d say we’re doing pretty great,” says Kinsey. Meanwhile, Kinsey and Bode (Jackson Robert Scott) are shape-shifting into animals to play games outside, but Tyler’s absence is felt as the Lockes plan Uncle Dunc’s wedding to Brian (Milton Barnes). Nina (Darby Stanchfield) thinks it’s kind of cute and puts it back, but suspects magic because of course she does. Do they eat? Do they sleep? They clearly spend time trying to escape and they find a way to knock the globe off its perch, the bookshelf in the winter study.
Sisters Ada (Diana Bentley) and Dorothy (Susanna Fournier) have apparently been trapped in a snow-globe replica of the Keyhouse estate for who knows how long. A loftier, more expansive version of this program might allow for some keys that are just there for fun or subplots, almost like a stand-alone issue of the comic book.Īt first, it feels like the actual snow globe that gives this season premiere its title might be just that as it doesn’t feature Gideon, Dodge, or any other known threat. Almost every time a key or object comes into this universe, it will find its way into the “main” plot, usually to save a member of the Locke family. Instead, it skews more YA than violent fantasy.
The truth is that the Netflix version of Locke & Key has never felt quite as ambitious as the acclaimed graphic novels by Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodriguez it’s based on - and certainly not as dark. The lack of immediate threat allows the writers of “The Snow Globe” to be a little more playful than usual. Other than the threat of the monstrous Gideon (Kevin Durand) lurking in the shadows and the natural sadness that comes when someone like Tyler leaves home, there’s less drama to start the season than last year’s rapid-paced outing. Even the villainous Eden (Hallea Jones) was thrown down a well. Duncan (Aaron Ashmore) was back to normal. Kinsey (Emilia Jones) finally started a relationship with Scot (Petrice Jones). Tyler (Connor Jessup) chose not to remember magic and left home to start his own life free from the Locke legacy. Gabe/Dodge (Griffin Gluck/Laysla De Oliveira) had been defeated.
The Lockes are back for the third and final season of Locke & Key, and it’s an interesting season premiere because the last season’s finale really could have been a series-ender, if not for the actual final scene.
