Continuity mistake: When Luke brings Caroline back to the house after knocking her out, Violet demands to know where Ben is. In this shot her tears are black because of the mascara, but in the next shot all her blackened tears have disappeared.

Violet Devereaux: Child, I believe you broke my legs.
Question: What was the deal with the mirrors? Are there spirits in the mirrors? Or can Violet (or whoever's body happens to be inhabited) see her "true self" in the mirror? When Caroline first spends the night, a figure, like Mama Cecile, can be seen in her little mirror. If the spirit is in the body (Violet's), why would it be wandering around? So, the mirrors expose their true identity, correct?
Answer: I don't think it's spirits. Like just as Violet used a mirror to transfer Cecile's soul into Caroline, that's why they can't have mirrors around - the mirror is a tool they use for the spell. Maybe if Caroline saw Violet or Luke in a mirror, she'd see Cecile and Justify instead.
Chosen answer: Yes.
