I want to replace my medicine cabinet with another cabinet and separate light fixture. What I thought was going to be straightforward is turning more complicated. This is what it’s looking like inside the lighting housing. I’ve dread there should be a metal electrical box in the wall so I can tuck the wires in after capping them and then put a temporary plate over it so I can paint and refresh the bathroom, then install a new light fixture and cabinet. However it’s looking like there is not an electrical box in the wall and that the white sheath comes directly out of a hole in the wall and the lighting housing was acting like the electrical box. I’m at a dead end of what to do and potential cost of having an electrician do work when this was supposed to be a cheap bathroom refresh. Please help!

The set of the house Tara is imprisoned in is heavily inspired by the Bates house in Psycho, particularly the staircase and entrance foyer, which features prominently throughout the episode. The interesting angles and shot compositions of the staircase are very Hitchcockian.

The whole sequence where Tara wanders downstairs and enters a room to find a figure sitting in a chair, only to discover it’s a skeleton, is a clear homage to when Vera Miles discovers the corpse of Mrs. Bates.

Another scene that stood out to me is the one where the skeleton is placed in Tara’s car and the car torched to make it seem like Tara is dead. The scene is very reminiscent of when Norman Bates pushes the car into the lake to hide the car and body in it.

I’m not sure why this stood out so clearly to me on this umpteenth rewatch, but I really appreciated the Hitchcock/Psycho elements in Pandora. This really is Tara’s equivalent to Emma’s The Joker.

In The Joker if you remember, we see Emma in her bra as a man looking through a peephole in the wall watches her (another Psycho reference) and in The New Avengers the episode Cat Amongst The Pigeons, is a The Birds inspired episode.

Wanted to share and hope you enjoy! Cheers
