It just seems almost random with one episode left in the season reveal such a weakness without any prior reference.
When Ethan returns to the sitting room, he confesses to Frankenstein the belief that Sir Malcolm is not being honest with them, that perhaps they are keeping Vanessa alive for unscrupulous purposes, insisting that Sir Malcolm, despite all appearances, does not see Vanessa as a daughter. Ethan then goes on to tell of Native American children, who when their tribes are pacified, lose their culture and become outcasts straddling two worlds, condemned to roam and die.
Ethan must see Vanessa the same way, someone who is between two worlds, who without their help will be lost forever. Ethan also invokes two famous names in his story, John Smith and William Sherman, however, their mention while a nice reference to the idea of conquering other peoples, seems inconsequential to the plot. Sir Malcolm is on watch duty again, though we finally see his motivation to keep Vanessa alive. Since the spiritualist is teetering between the land of the living and that of the dead, Sir Malcolm thinks it is a fine time to coax the spiritualist into contacting Mina.
He is found out by the rest of the household who are furious that Sir Malcolm would use Vanessa, who trusted all of them, in this way, that he would allow her to suffer so greatly so that he could reach his ends. This wolfish imagery continues to surround Ethan , telling Sir Malcolm that the daughter he is seeking is right before him, in the form of the ailing Vanessa. Once more the protagonists retire to the sitting room, this time it is Sir Malcolm and Doctor Frankenstein who are taking their break together.
Sir Malcolm asks for something to help him stay awake and gets a needle full of a cocaine derivative to do the job. Frankenstein, having asthma in his youth, uses the cocaine as a medicine, which is accurate to the times. Cocaine was used for a number of medical purposes, including eye medicine.
He could very well lose them both now. Whether it was this realization or the pressure of his house mates, Sir Malcolm has finally allowed a priest to enter the home. Considering no one in the house seems to believe in a high power, this is a final act of desperation to be sure. Fortunately, Vanessa saves me the trouble. As tense as this moment is I had to laugh since Frankenstein pretty much says what we are all thinking as the priest waffles regarding whether he will perform an exorcism or simply Last Rites.

However, the priest steels himself and begins to perform the Last Rites on Vanessa. Christopher Matthew Banning from her past, the doctor who prescribed hydrotherapy. She then goes on to speak of another Matthew she knew from the ancient days. This Matthew was a tax collector who was crucified upside down. In church tradition Matthew was supposedly very hard to kill when he was martyred, and he was hung upside down and lit on fire, though it is said this did not harm him. This imagery reminds of the tarot card of the Hanged Man, a card that represents surrender and martyrdom.
Crystal Possession: Vanessa's Story
She then breaks free of her bonds and skitters about the room. Vanessa leaps on the ceiling like one of those many spiders from before. There is also a great shot as the demon flexes its power, causing the windows to shatter and cascade down on our protagonists in a manner similar to the snow falling outside.
It looks sharp pun intended. Ethan begins chanting in italian or latin I think and seems to be exorcising the demon from Vanessa. I have to ask, where did this come from? It seems so sudden to me and not really in line with anything else we know about the sharpshooter. Was this why Ethan was so hesitant to take the pendant when Brona initially offered it? Was Ethan possessed by another force, a force for good that he channeled through his faith in the spiritualist?
Whatever the case maybe, Ethan succeeds in bringing Vanessa out of the darkness and back to her normal self.

With barely a word the sharpshooter abruptly leaves the house, walking alone in the newly fallen snow. As Vanessa rests for the first time in a long time, it seems as if her dreams are not entirely untroubled. Flashes of the play she attended at The Grand Guignol flit through her mind and a quote from it keeps repeating over and over. Because Vanessa now knows where Mina is. And there it is, the penultimate Penny Dreadful episode for this season. What did you think dear readers?
We would get a scene of Vanessa cruelly taunting her companions, then her being restrained while suffering some unnerving body horror. She would be sedated and then her protectors would retreat to the sitting room and mull over the events and the whole thing would repeat. This was the cycle until Ethan and Frankenstein stood up to Sir Malcolm and brought in the priest. I understand that to present all of what Vanessa went through during her possession in one steady stream would be like receiving an emotional sledgehammer to the face for the audience, and there is the fact that this repetition did mimic what our characters were going thought.
The sixth panel further emphasizes the complete transformation to her current form, developing a slight hunchback, covered in shadow and her hands now more than ever turning inwards like claws or talons.
The Consequences of Possession
These clues suggest that Vanessa's uncanny ability to freeze her intruders as well as her shadowy appearance stemmed either from a dark energy that corrupted her when she was most emotionally distraught, or it was her heartbreaking that caused the darkness to manifest and the distress itself to cause such visible and tactile alterations.
Though it is not confirmed explicitly in the game, the eighth panel where the Prince is chained to the wall shows his body changing in the darkness, heavily implying that the Prince would soon to become Snatcher. This, alongside several of the many comments made by Snatcher during Death Wish Mode about coldness, death and love heavily implies that Snatcher and Queen Vanessa were once lovers, but are now bitter enemies. When Hat Kid exits the cellar of Vanessa's Manor into the hallway, the Queen immediately becomes aware of Hat Kid's presence in the hall and enters in search of her.
Afterwards she begins searching through every room in the manor in order to seek out Hat Kid. As the only other major living character in the manor to the intruding Hat Kid, Vanessa plays a very intimidating role in following and hunting down Hat Kid as the player progresses through the level, often pacing in the hallways waiting for the player to emerge of their own accord to snatch them up and freeze them, leading to an instant death.
As such, on top of the limited use of Hats and the loss of the umbrella attack, Vanessa serves far more as a hazard than a traditional Enemy in that the best way to progress through the level is to avoid her and hide at all costs if avoidance is impossible. When triggering certain events, Vanessa will willingly go through doors in order to investigate, requiring the player to either hide before the Queen can see them and she leaves the room, or to leave the room themselves in order to evade Vanessa.

In the second floor, attempting to collect the final key will cause Vanessa to take it and take a shower in the bathroom. Here, the player must attempt to collect the key and escape before the Queen sees them from the steam and chase them down. If the player cannot obtain the key, they can wait outside and far away from the bathroom, as Vanessa will leave the key unguarded and enter her bedroom after exiting the shower.

I love setting up my desk with appropriate crystals to help me with creativity and focus. I like to create a really balanced and harmonious writing space so I can get lost in my plot and characters. I believe this same mindset can be channeled to varying professions. My spiritual life has inspired my writing and I credit it to what as made my fiction writing so successful. When I was a financial security advisor, all my clients received a piece of citrine — an abundance stone. I wear blazers and heels, and love a busy schedule. I also keep crystals in my pockets.
