"NOS4A2" Season 1 Episode 7 "Scissors for the Drifter": Best Laid Plans of Vic, Manx… [PREVIEW]

Last week's episode of AMC's NOS4A2 found some very interesting ways to delay the inevitable face-off between Vic (Ashleigh Cummings) and Charlie Manx (Zachary Quinto): Vic had to find a way out of what she thought was going to be a temporary hospital stay – only to learn that she would be taking on Manx minus Maggie (Jahkara Smith) and her tiles (say it ain't so!). Things weren't all bad for Vic: her time with fellow "strong creative" Jolene July (Judith Roberts, in an Emmy nomination-deserving turn) offered her additional insight into her powers and the key to defeating Manx. Most of all, she dealt Manx a major blow that helped buy Vic some time to devise a plan.

In the following preview for this week's "Scissors for the Drifter" (followed by an episode overview and promo), the best laid plans of Vic hit a major obstacle when her mother (Virginia Kull) reveals some crushing news about Vic's bike – her "knife" to Christmasland:

NOS4A2 season 1, episode 7 "Scissors for the Drifter": Vic finds herself stuck in the real world; Manx runs into trouble and calls Bing for help.

A Look at AMC's "NOS4A2"

NOS4A2 introduces Vic McQueen (Cummings), a gifted young woman who discovers she has a supernatural ability to find lost things. This ability puts her on a collision course with the evil and immortal Charlie Manx (Quinto). Manx is a supernatural villain who feeds off the souls of children then deposits what remains of them into Christmasland – a twisted place of Manx's imagination where every day is Christmas Day and unhappiness is against the law. Vic strives to defeat Manx and rescue his victims – without losing her mind or falling victim to him herself.

The supernatural horror series NOS4A2, based on Hill's bestselling novel of the same name, tells the story of Charlie Manx, a seductive immortal who feeds off the souls of children then deposits what remains of them into "Christmasland" – an icy, twisted Christmas village of Manx's imagination where every day is Christmas Day and unhappiness is against the law. Manx finds his whole world threatened when a young woman in New England discovers she has a dangerous gift.

Cummings' Vic McQueen is a young, working-class artist whose creativity awakens a supernatural ability to track Manx. What Vic lacks in social confidence, she makes up for in courage, humor, and tough-as-nails grit. She strives to defeat Manx and rescue his victims without losing her mind or falling victim to him herself.

Quinto's Charlie Manx is a seductive immortal who feeds off the souls of children, then deposits what remains of them into Christmasland – an icy, twisted Christmas village of Manx's imagination where every day is Christmas Day and unhappiness is against the law. Manx finds his whole world threatened when a young woman in New England discovers she has a dangerous gift.

Tabitha Hutter. Produced by AMC Studios in association with Tornante Television, NOS4A2 is executive produced by Hill, Tornante Television's  Lauren Corrao, and series creator/showrunner Jami O'Brien (Fear The Walking Dead, Hell On Wheels). Emmy nominee Kari Skogland (The Handmaid's Tale) directs the first two episodes of the 10-episode series.
