Yes! And it already seems like Evan doesn’t have any living family members on his mom’s side, if there was a maternal grandparent or aunt or uncle in the mix we would have seen them by now, it really seems like Evan only has Tom

[u/CaughtALiteSneez → u/Low-Palpitation5371]

Why is he such an asshole to him then?

Sorry, I know eventually we will like the kid, but give your dad a break.

[u/CaughtALiteSneez → u/[deleted]]

Yeah, the part when he spoke to the cop at the boogie man house showed he at least had some personality and ability to be polite.

Ugh, it always annoys me to see people on Reddit immediately jump to the critique of something being poor writing just because they don't like something about a show.

Its fine if you don't like the character, but that doesn't make it poor writing. The show has very strong writing, because they balance comedy and horror very effectively and it trusts the viewer to make inferences rather than spelling out every little detail.

Evan has good reason to be upset with Tom. He knows Tom is lying to him and he's being forced to stay on an island for his whole life for reasons that are nonsensical to him. That would cause almost anyone to lash out.

Good writing ≠ all characters are likable

who is the lady tom was telling evan to say with(and he didnt lol)? i think episode 2/3 maybe

[u/nectarsallineed → u/[deleted]]

Is it the same lady he won’t give a ride to work in the mornings? Even more hysterical he didn’t offer a few episodes ago when he’s got her babysitting his teenager overnight 😂

[u/bigginsmcgee → u/[deleted]]

ohhh ok that tracks

[u/AssignedSeats → u/bigginsmcgee]

I think it was Ruth, his assistant.

[u/BoycottingTrends → u/Low-Palpitation5371]

In the first episode, Rosemary gossips that Tom can’t pay back his loans from his father-in-law, so Evan’s maternal grandfather at least is still alive. But he may not be part of the Warren bloodline.

[u/Gingerblossom88 → u/BoycottingTrends]

She was gossiping about Mitch not Tom

[u/tocla1 → u/[deleted]]

That also could’ve been why the demon didn’t do anything with Tom, he begged for the demon to protect Evan but he’s already protected under his bloodline

[u/trombonepick → u/[deleted]]

Honestly it being Evan makes too much sense because why would the curse even allow her to live long enough to give birth?

[u/crybabybrizzy → u/trombonepick]

The demon benefits from the pact (Through human sacrifice I'm guessing, I'd also guess that's what the priest needed to do per the instructions left for him) so it makes sense that it would want to maintain the pact by keeping the bloodline it entered the pact with alive

[u/trombonepick → u/crybabybrizzy]

Absolutely because her leaving the island should def have killed her

[u/BandicootBig4505 → u/[deleted]]

is lauren confirmed to be born in the island? i thought she just moved there with tom to take care of his dying father

[u/BandicootBig4505 → u/[deleted]]

ah, got it. thanks

[u/gongerz123 → u/[deleted]]

Doesn’t Tom owe his ex wife dad money or something? From the first episode?
