Need to refresh your memory on what happened in Season 1 of Shining Vale, led by an unhinged Courteney Cox? We've got your recap.
The Big Picture A writer moves into an old house with plans to rejuvenate her career and a strained family relationship, but supernatural horror shreds the “home sweet home” doormat and all its positive vibes. If this sounds familiar, that’s what Shining Vale on Starz is hoping for! It has fun with throwing in references, homages, and twisting up horror movie tropes you know and love. The ball that rolls across the floor in a creepy attic? That’s just a yappy dog eager to play.
Pat’s hopes to reconnect with her family hit the brakes immediately on the first night. She sees Rosemary , the spirit of a housewife from decades past. The sugary sweet demeanor of Rosemary is a dangerous facade, greeting Pat with perfect manners before sticking her cigarette into Pat’s arm. She’s also a bad influence, pushing Pat to break her sobriety and drink again. All because Pat believes Rosemary isn’t a ghost but a creative muse to get back into writing.
When it comes to Gaynor’s socially awkward brother Jake , he prefers to play VR games, not realizing he’s seeing some of the spirits on the property, thinking it’s just part of the game. As for Pat’s husband Terry , he tries to move on from his wife’s cheating, chopping wood as a stress reliever, another form of bottling up his frustrations. He visits the handyman who had the affair with his wife and demands to take the guy’s fancy coffee maker, only to need help in moving the heavy machine.
Back when Pat was a teen, she institutionalized her mother when Joan’s schizophrenia got severe and she attempted suicide. While Joan found relief on drugs and adores her grandkids she is passive-aggressive to her daughter, not forgiving Pat for committing her all those decades ago. Ghosts might be scary, but so too is intergenerational trauma and a lack of beneficial help for mental illness.
