A dream vortex threatens to destroy not just the Dreaming but the waking world.

And so we reach The Doll’s House, the backbone to the eponymous second graphic novel collection. Written by Heather Bellson, and directed by Andres Baiz, we meet Rose Walker (Kyo Raz), a young girl who is flying out to England to meet a mysterious relative. She’s joined by her friend Lyta, unaware that she’s a phenomenon that occurs every thousand years, and is in danger of destroying the fabric of the realms. Understandably, those on the sides of both good and evil wish to channel her powers… or kill her.

There’s some necessary context setting around Rose’s great grandmother, Unity Kincaid, introductions to new neighbours (including Bernie, Ken and Stephen Fry’s Gilbert), news that three powerful beings have escaped from The Dreaming, and we get to spend some time with another member of The Endless, Despair – a delicious Mason Alexander Park – who authentically feels that they’ve been ripped straight off the pages of the comic.

Verdict: There’s a lot to unpack in this episode, and run to keep up if you have to, as this is building up to a significant finale. 8/10
