Daniela Chamorro It might be for the plot *spoilers up ahead* Charlotte Brontë always forgets that Lenore is a ghost, so when Charlotte tries to kill her. Lenore is buying time for Oscar to do something to both if the Brontë sister. So her (Lenore) not being translucent and her being able to hold things it displays the idea of Lenore being fully alive. Or it might be your reason.

Lauren Lopez (George Elliot) reminds me of Melissa McCarthy in Bridesmaids when she introduced herself, for some reason I can't quite place.

Omg Oscar Wilde. I can’t 😂

When Wells says he knows who did it, is it a reference to his novel, 'The Time Machine'? Because that would be really awesome ;) (Though perhaps he really does know who did it!) Also, when Wilde says 'Orangutan', I bet it's a reference to Edgar Allan Poe's detective novel with Dupin ('Murders in Rue Morgue'?). Either way, what a great start to the series, I'm super hype for the rest of the episodes!
