'Penny Dreadful' Spoilers: Will Sir Malcom Be Blinded By His Conviction On Showtime Series? [VIDEO]
Showtime's supernatural drama Penny Dreadful is halfway through its first season, forcing some difficult questions to the surface.

Episode Six, "What Death Can Join Together", airs tomorrow, and based on the preview, it seems that Sir Malcolm (Timothy Dalton) has some difficult choices ahead of him.
Penny Dreadful Explores 'Place Between Life And Death' On Showtime?
The various characters of the Showtime series have been brought together by Sir Malcolm's search for his last remaining child, Mina. "Say you find your daughter" says Sembene (Danny Sapani) in tomorrows episode, "But say she cannot be saved..."
Sir Malcolm insists in return that he shall save her, but Sembene reminds him, quite gravely, that not everyone can be saved in the end. If Mina is in fact beyond her Father's help, will he be willing to destroy the creature she has become? Or abandon his beliefs for love? He has, after all, already lost his son, who perished in Africa while assisting her father in exploration.
Vanessa Ives (Eva Green) has accused Sir Malcolm previously of "ignoring her [Mina] for her entire life", and now that he might very well be on the brink of losing his daughter for good, Sir Malcolm seems poised to do just about anything to get her back. For his own redemption? For Mina's?
Perhaps the season's end will bring his motives and capabilities into focus, or maybe they just be further compromised in order to create future conflict. Now that
Penny Dreadful has been renewed on Showtime for a second season, anything is possible.
