Screencap of The Famous Jett Jackson because he's so cute.

(Here's Noelle's recap of tonight's episode of FlashForward: "Scary Monsters and Super Creeps")

This week on Flashforward, Mark and Demetri celebrate Halloween by trying to figure out why they are being attacked and what clues from Mark's vision can help them. We open with a very charming Dominic Monaghan trying to pick up a girl on a train to LA. Simon claims to know what caused the blackout. What a very weird and blunt pick up line. The girl agrees with me until she realizes he actually is a scientist. You hear that guys? Prove to a girl you're a renowned physicist and she'll have sex with you. Way to go Simon. It's a shame for the girl he appears to be a rather violent murderer in his Flashforward. Nothing kills a romantic mood like describing killing a man with your thumbs.

Janis is gonna be okay. Yay! Among those relieved is Mark, who still has some blood stains on his shirt from the gunfight. It really looks like he just ate a hot dog and has a ketchup stain. Fail makeup department. Being shot however does have some lasting side effects for Janis. The surgery performed has left her with an almost impossible chance of ever having children. Hmmm.

Demetri and Gough are on a mission to identify the gunmen. They find a blue hand on one of the bodies which is a clue from Mark's board. All these clues are starting to rattle my brain. They find themselves on a scavenger hunt following skeletal hands to an abandoned house. Doesn't exactly sound like a cozy place to visit. Turns out it isn't. There are dead bodies and blood stains all over and they all have blue hands. I believe I am now maximum confused.

Dylan is having a hard time accepting that he has to go back and live with Lloyd once he leaves the hospital. He keeps repeating the phrase "It's my house too" over and over. In an act of apparent defiance, Dylan leaves the hospital and goes missing. He wanders onto a bus still repeating the same phrase and ends up at Mark and Olivia's house acting like he's lived there all his life. He looks like he's dressed up as Flava Flav. Charlie walks in and immediately recognizes him like they've been friends for years. Mark has the best WTF face and I bet it matches my own.

Mark, Olivia, and Lloyd all end up in the same room and start to put the missing pieces from their visions together. Talk about awkward. Mark looks pissed, Olivia looks scared, and Lloyd looks like a confused puppy who's about to get his ass kicked. Olivia still wants to live in the now and not put so much emphasis on the visions. That's pretty tough when your vision is sitting on your living room couch. Things also aren't looking too good for her marriage when her and Mark get into a heated argument about his possible future drinking problem and her possible future infidelity. Oh boy.

That's not enough for tonight though. We need some sort of a cliffhanger...Aha. Lloyd in a dark car. Simon surprises him wanting to know why Lloyd's been advoiding him. Gasp. Looks like they're both in on this. Lloyd says their "experiment" killed 20 million people. :O!

Questions from tonight:

What the heck is up with the blue hands?
Who's Rutherford and why does he seem to make Gough cry?
Do Charlie and Dylan know eachother from more than their visions?
What experiment are Simon and Lloyd a part of? Did they cause the black out?
What is that creepy cartoon Charlie is always watching?
