**Mary Capshaw** is a major character in the second season of *The Look-See.* She was the wife of James Capshaw, the sister-in-law of Robert Capshaw, and the mother of David, Theodore, and Leah Capshaw.

She is portrayed by Nathalie Soderqvist.

## Physical Appearance

Mary was a middle-aged Caucasian woman with blonde hair and blue eyes. She commonly wore a knee-length blue dress, a pearl necklace, a white mink stole, nude tights, and high-heels.

## Characteristics

Mary did not exhibit much personality throughout her appearances, but her encounter with The Look-See highlighted that she was particularly attached to her former wealth and was highly materialistic.

## Background

Some time before the events of the series, Mary met and married James Capshaw, and they had three children -- David, Theodore, and Leah. When he was a preteen, Mary's son Theodore passed away.

Some time later, Mary and her family moved from their farmhouse in Pennsylvania to New York City, where her husband James and his twin brother Robert opened up a bank. The families enjoyed a life of luxury, with Mary becoming more attached to it than the others, until the 1930's. On March 20th, 1930, Mary's brother-in-law Robert killed himself and his family to keep them from falling into poverty. On August 1st that same year, the bank her husband owned was foreclosed upon.

## The Look-See

### Season 2

#### The Second Home

In 1932, Mary and her family packed what possessions they had left and moved back to their farmhouse in Harbor, Pennsylvania. That night, James hears something going on in the barn and goes to investigate. When there is a scream and he doesn't return, Mary's son David goes after him.

#### The Second Love

After her son David goes to find her husband, Mary is visited by The Look-See. He attacks her by choking her with her pearl necklace, and later presents her with an illusion of her deceased son, Theodore, holding her pearl necklace. Mary reaches for the pearls, which causes the illusion to distort. The Look-See then removed Mary's heart, killing her.

#### The Second Hands

The Look-See shapeshifts into Mary to lull David Capshaw into a sense of security.

## Relationships

### James Capshaw

James was Mary's husband. The full depth of their relationship is unknown, but the circumstances of Mary's death indicates that she was not in the relationship for love, but rather for material gain.

### David Capshaw

David was Mary's eldest son. The full depth of their relationship is unknown.

### Theodore Capshaw

Theodore was Mary's youngest son. It is unknown how much his death affected her, but she did not appear to hold him in as high a regard as her former wealth.

### Leah Capshaw

Leah was Mary's only daughter. The full depth of their relationship is unknown, but Leah appeared to hold a grudge against her mother.

## Trivia

* The loss of Mary's heart, coupling with the fact that she touched her pearl necklace instead of the illusion of her deceased son, indicates that her heart was in the wrong place -- meaning that she was more attached to material things than her family members.
