1: Lillith “Cant even be in a doctors office.” Could that have anything to do with having dealings with a sadistic doctor Steve Meyer perchance? She was his patient after all.

2: THINGS CAL DIDNT SAY: “ Hey Mary how about don’t bring our infant son to the meetup with your pedophile father?” ( Seriously?)

I did love the way she attacked the bastard verbally. I also loved that his religious enlightement doesn’t mean shit to her. Where does he get off praying for HER? Fucking prick. Also… Mary’s dad wanted her to breastfeed in front of him. Just… Shining a light on that creepyness.

3: Suicide cult reference. Freddy foreshadowing says hi in the form of a creepy old man. Eddie has a symbolic rebirth and (calling it) becomes a reclusive holy man whose focus is his family, while Cal becomes his public face.

ALSO… There are flowers on your Walls of Doom Eddie. Eddie did the one thing people who are drugged on TV never do and tried to make himself throw up! Good try Eddie! While he was in the box, however, his Meyerist conviction cracked and he said The Lords Prayer. He also says a Catholic prayer in ‘The Shore’ ( Season 1) So we know he doesn’t feel conflict between Meyerism and Catholic Prayer but its telling nonetheless. Now I’m going to have to re watch the entire series looking for flower wallpaper.



4: “Fluffing him every night.” WHOAH Mary knows where to hit where it hurts. Cal ‘aint gonna be anyones fluffer… Anymore. Except he kind of is. As evidenced by Harold and now Eddie. He keeps repeating his abuse by putting himself in the position of minder to powerful men. Because “ Its Toasty in the Light.” Hell it might be unhealthy and abusive but its home.

Also, he put his arm around Mary! Thats a sign of genuine human intimacy! Thats the Cal eqivelant of proposing marriage.

5: Cal that was one long ass time to think about letting a guy suffocate in a box. He may be working on himself but he is by no means NOT a ticking time bomb of ill intent. But I’d like to think that drug trip last episode did make some impact on his relationship with Eddie.

He tells Mary “ I didn’t do it for him.” With the implication that he had planned to put Eddie in his debt. BUT its never that simple with Cal. He actually does belive in Eddie as Messianic figure.He has saved his own soul (somewhat) too, and Eddies by preventing the murder of the old man. Maybe he wouldn’t wish that guilt on his worst enemy? But we still know he’s capable of THINKING about letting Eddie suffocate in a box. Will he be John the Baptist or Judas to Eddie’s Jesus? Having said that we actually know Cal is quite Loyal, as evidenced by the fact that he didn’t murder Steve…But fucked up enough to murder SIlas. Complicated Cal.

6: So… Heres my take on the play scene. Sarah was reminded of the cave by the song and found the last three rungs in the cave, and Silas ( in the shamanic form of his owl totem) helped her find ( Or remember) the cave. The Last three rungs would ‘become evident” when the time came right? Well here they are and I’m sure they will tell the enlightened few.

1: Kill everyone

2: Kill Yourselves

3: Garden!

and they’ll probably have some stuff about how its ok to rape little kids in there too.

( NB the mask in the last shot was an owl too. Silas always did want to end the movement. Maybe he knew what was coming. MAYBE Silas was right all along and the movment had to end back in season 1 to save everyone.)



7: Juice reference!

8: Cal finds Vera familiar. Maybe she looks like Steve, or maybe somewhere in his shambolic childhood are memories of Vera and Lillith? I also think Sarah had been to the cave as a kid. It seemed like she knew where she was going. We know something terrible happened to Cal there. Also Sarah’s line to Tessa about how she was lucky to get away makes me wonder if Sarah didn’t either get abused herself or witness Cals abuse as a young kid.





Also, despite the abject horror of the whole thing, I really like Gabby’s play. She’s some director. And Summer’s beautiful, innocent face was lit up in the last scene. It perfectly illustrated the beauty of Meyerism and the corruption of Meyerism in at the same time. NICE ONE SHOW.
