While Jenna Ortega is, once again, excellent, the actress who plays Bianca continues to overdo it, as she has every episode thus far.
On the other hand, the problem with Xavier is still the character himself. Ajax claims he has a dark side; so far all he's done is try to look intense and whine. May the writers never follow through with the threat of making him a romantic interest for the protagonist.
Still speaking of what's been overdone, the ancestor that could have been the lead's identical twin is uninspired to put it mildly. Vampire Diaries comes to mind, and that's never a good thing.
All that said, save for the vision sequence it's a good episode. Jericho, the town, makes for a much better backdrop than Nevermore. The year long Thanksgiving craze offers the best contrast to Wednesday's no nonsense, monochromatic world view.
