When the murder happens, it happens fast. It happens offscreen. It happens without even the presence of the camera within the house where it takes place — we’re trapped outside and they’re trapped inside, and then it’s done. This week’s episode of The Act behaves a lot like I imagine Gypsy Blanchard and Nicholas Godejohn behaved the night they murdered Gypsy’s mother Dee Dee: like they just wanted to get it over with as quickly as possible and move on with their lives.
