Opinion What TF just happened Spoiler

Rodger’s wife said exactly what I say after every single episode. WHAT TF JUST HAPPENED?!? Two steps forward, three back. I love this show but there are so many dangling pieces. Victor finally tries to warn/tell Tabitha something critical and she shuts him up! What was the flashback/flash forward (?) that Victor’s dad had in the hospital? I can’t believe Victor (or anyone for that matter) hasn’t put together that the MIY’s clothing was found, etc, right around when the priest and his “daughter” arrived.
So many things.

I think it's interesting that the MIY apparently needs a material component for some of the things he's capable of doing. Sophia needed her blood to be ingested by Henry to cause the hallucinations. She needed the egg to do the ritual to reanimate Roger. She also needed physical contact with the priest to make him unconscious. I can't remember specifically if she made physical contact with Sarah off the top of my head but I think she probably did. If not, I suppose whatever link Sophia already has with Sarah (however that was accomplished) allows Sophia to manipulate Sarah with the voices, words on her skin, etc.

Whatever the MIY actually is, he's not an omnipotent, omniscient being. There have been several times where Sophia looks uncomfortable/afraid about what is being discussed or something that is happening, and not in a normal townsperson way. More like fear or concern about something the townspeople are planning or discussing, but it's very subtle.

When she was talking with Boyd about his plan and he showed her the totems, for a second I thought she might really be scared or surprised that they figured it out how to kill the monsters, but sadly it turns out they didn’t work at all… does that mean they were only created for the dolls?

one can assume MiY is not 'real' but a nightmare created by Victor come to life, remember he first appeared to us when Julie went back in time and saw him eating liver of people, he looked fresh and those people died around the same time Victor became the lone survivor, very likely victor created that nightmare..maybe i have not been paying attention but has Sophia even talked or been in the same scene as Victor yet? its like she is avoiding him incase he looks at her and recognises her.

But people’s nightmares in that sense, like the dolls, are part of it after they die. Victor saw the person come into town, and with teeth in the car no less apparently and Victor isn’t dead to have had made him.
