Headscratchers / Cloak & Dagger (2018)

Go To

  • Is the "Darkforce Dimension" where Cloak/Tyrone gets his powers connected with the Darkhold in any way?
  • How did Detective Riley find Tandy? One scene she's interviewing the guy Tandy stabbed and finding some pretty clear evidence that he sexually assaulted someone, the next scene, she's at the house of the person he assaulted, having apparently discovered her identity and address offscreen. I get that this isn't a police procedural, so Riley's investigation isn't the focal point, but given that Tandy choosing to cooperate with her seems like it'll be a major plot point going forward, this is a pretty strange detail to gloss over.
    • Depending on how certain events happened off-screen, it's possible Detective O'Reilly found Tandy via the first crime scene, when Tandy and Liam robbed that rich guy's place. Assuming the rich guy reported the crime, it's possible that the police had already ID-ed those two as possible suspects. Two of the reported stolen items would be the ballet tickets, which connects to the stabbing incident since it happened within walking distance of the ballet. From this alone, Detective O'Reilly could conclude that the person who was sexually assaulted went to the ballet with the stolen tickets. She could then theoretically check the robbing incident, see how far along their investigation went, and check to see if there were already any potential suspects. Considering that Liam got arrested, it's entirely possible that he was already a suspect by the time O'Reilly was investigating the stabbing incident. Assuming only Liam was suspected, his connection to Tandy could be gleaned from interviews with friends and relatives.
  • Why on earth did Aunt Chantelle tell D'Spayre so much about becoming a loa? She saw all the pain he curated and still told him the vevê was the secret to becoming loa. She knew she was about to die and still gave him access to more power, I don't understand the logic behind her decision
  • Why couldn't Evita be a mambo and go to medical school? Lots of people have jobs and go to school, what prevents Evita from doing the same?
    • Because being a Mambo is not a nine to five kind of thing. She literally had to bind herself to a spirit of the Loa and that sounds like a full time gig that would take up all her time.
