History WMG / PennyDreadful

** Inherit the estate, perhaps? Victor doesn't presently have much money, yet he seems to have grown up quite wealthy. His mother says it's "just you and me" after the dog dies, suggesting his father was already deceased. Eliminating Caroline before Victor could come of age may have allowed a distant relative to lay claim to the family fortune.

* What motive would anyone have to kill her, though?

Tuberculosis (aka consumption) doesn't come on all at once like in "Resurrection"; it starts out as a normal fever with cough and gets progressively worse. Caroline exhibits no symptoms whatsoever up until she coughs blood all over herself. That's the sort of thing that'd be seen in poisoning with hemotoxins that destroy pulmonary capillaries, not in an infection.

He's the only major character who hasn't been recruited to Sir Malcolm's vampire-hunting crew, and his encounter with Brona suggests he's sufficiently jaded and turned on by the morbid to want to get it on with either a demon-possessed Vanessa (once he gets over his fear) or one of those white-haired vampire women. Either desire would provide motive for him to sell out Sir Malcolm's team. Plus, the series is an obvious SpiritualSuccessor to ''ComicBook/TheLeagueOfExtraordinaryGentlemen'', and any such homage wouldn't be complete without a Griffin plotting treachery.

Frankenstein's met her once already and probably will again since she's a buddy of Ethan, giving him ample opportunity to learn where she lives and kidnap her; he'll probably reason to himself that she's going to die soon anyway and want to spare her the horrible end of his mother, and just think of the lovely, ''lovely'' angst this will cause for everyone!

* Plus, episode 3 suggests that Dracula, unlike the Orlok-like Leader Vampire from the first episode, is able to pass as a man.

** Killing the lamplighter was probably just an act of necessity. The lamplighter might have [[HeKnowsTooMuch seen the killer's face]] or something. (And for the record, we don't know for sure if the lamplighter was killed. He might have just run off in a panic.) As for the girl, children can donate organs to adults, so it's not totally implausible.

** The lamplighter was male, though, and the little girl was too small to contribute body parts to a female Creature.

* It would explain why the killer seems to be exclusively targeting women...

Specific body parts are stolen, mostly organs. One of the monster's issues in Mary Shelley's was that he wanted a mate, could he be building one?

He wakes up disoriented on the morning after one of the attacks with his nails digging into his palm, as if he'd just endured the pain of reversion from a sharp-clawed WolfMan to his human form. The policeman whom Sir Malcolm spoke to said that there'd been a previous attack outside of London a month earlier, which fits with the Wild West Show's need to travel and a change-every-full-moon timeline. Ethan also makes up his mind to stick around in London and work with Sir Malcolm - someone interested in studying and possibly curing supernatural creatures - after walking by one of the murder scenes, where he overheard some women cursing the perpetrator. Finally, the opening credits show moving fur and a wolf's open jaws ''immediately'' before they show Ethan's face.
