I think it was “avatar”, but since Ben isn’t exactly educated he wrote it down as “tavatara” or whatever.
Okay–maybe a little more info.
Both Clancy Brown and Michael J. Anderson have been interviewed and have alluded to the avatar. Red herrings? Maybe.
Clancy has a website http://clancybrownfanclubblog.blogspot.com/ that has transcipts of a weekly radio which dissects the show. His official website is at

I liked most of the episode until they got to the trial. Are the producers specifically trying to make me not like the characters? That’s not a good idea given that the plot is so thin so far. The look on ghost-Dora Mae’s face was fantastic, though.

Based on the previews it appears that next week’s ep will shift focus away from the carnies and to Brother Justin and (more importantly IMHO) to his sister. I’ve been looking forward to seeing Amy Madigan get a chance to show some chops and it looks like finally next week we’ll get to see her say something besides “Justin?” and “may I get you some tea?”
