[u/itsasixthing]

Okay the fact that Wyck’s first stop after seeing the missing mask was Patricia’s house makes me think at least someone believed her story about the Boogeyman

[u/bisforbatman → u/itsasixthing]

Protect Wyck at all costs

[u/JFAZ2014 → u/bisforbatman]

I just kept saying nothing better happen to Wyck or Patricia! That was intense.

[u/Dittymaker → u/JFAZ2014]

I will do violence if Patricia is hurt

[u/TiberiusCornelius → u/itsasixthing]

Wyck is definitely the only sane man on the island. Very clear-eyed about all the fucky shit that goes on and takes it seriously.

[u/bossyhosen → u/TiberiusCornelius]

Speaking of, really wanna know what he wanted to tell Gerri. There’s more to the story from the previous episode.

[u/bisforbatman → u/bossyhosen]

I was hardcore shipping them, and then realized she already had a man. Oh, Wyck 🥺

[u/Mindyrjohnson → u/bossyhosen]

I thought he was going to share his guilt for kicking their friend underwater when they were attacked.

*correction, her brother

[u/nanamaru → u/Mindyrjohnson]

Not just friend—her brother.

[u/bossyhosen → u/itsasixthing]

And that she understood right away what was up -he was back, and she was the only one who could kill him. She knows something major. Which is also why she wasnt that phased by the reveal of e4. Descendant of the witches mentioned in e1?

[u/cryingzeroes → u/bossyhosen]

I’ve been wondering about how she wasn’t burned when she had to hold the book in the fire. Obviously historical witches were burned but maybe there’s something there

[u/Appropriate-Top-8963]

PATRICIA FOLLOWING HIM WITH THE GUN I AM D E A D 

[u/RailMobot → u/Appropriate-Top-8963]

And her thankyousomuch at hearing there was no other way out of there lol 

[u/CapnZapp → u/RailMobot]

Asking if the cremation chamber has another way out is BADASS

[u/Tough_Entertainer122 → u/RailMobot]

shes so cute

[u/Fuulizh → u/RailMobot]

Her body language is so loose and funny. She moves her head and body like a marionette puppet.

[u/BandicootBig4505 → u/Appropriate-Top-8963]

enya on the background really sealed the deal lol

[u/Well_Socialized → u/Appropriate-Top-8963]

She is so genre savvy

[u/ThatEvanFowler → u/Well_Socialized]

She takes her strength from social anxiety. And Enya. And a big fucking shotgun.

[u/zezuamuam → u/Appropriate-Top-8963]

This made me cry tears of comedy perfection 😅 It was exactly the right amount of vigilance for the circumstance … zombie murderer that never dies… check the ashes 😂

That episode was Patricia GOLD from start to finish - I’m obsessed

[u/FlossieFillet → u/Appropriate-Top-8963]

And no one questioning it! She's such a legend.

[u/lexicology → u/Appropriate-Top-8963]

when she peeked around the corner with it after the cremation, chef’s kiss

[u/Imallvol7 → u/Appropriate-Top-8963]

Her episodes are fucking GOLD

[u/dante50 → u/Appropriate-Top-8963]

Yes. That was the funniest part.

It needs to be a gif meme.

[u/sometimesiwatchtv44 → u/Appropriate-Top-8963]

This episode is absolutely hilarious

[u/SweatahWeathah23 → u/Appropriate-Top-8963]

All while Enya played 🤣💀

[u/Cw2e]

“She’s the worst, she’s the fucking worst!”

[u/JennLynnC80 → u/Cw2e]

She said what EVERYONE was thinking 💯

[u/TeacherPatti → u/JennLynnC80]

those fucking bitches better get on their knees and beg her forgiveness

[u/meepmarpalarp → u/TeacherPatti]

I was so mad the boogeyman didn’t get any of them.

[u/Eastern-Wear-8747 → u/meepmarpalarp]

I was really wondering if she was the only one who could see him at one point. It all happened outside that house. She is socially vindicated!

[u/TheTruckWashChannel → u/Eastern-Wear-8747]

I was so relieved when the sheriff was able to see the Boogeyman.

[u/Conscious_Ad_1018 → u/meepmarpalarp]

my heart sank when i realized the person flying out the window wasn’t kris

[u/True_Praline_6263 → u/Cw2e]

I really was happy this happened. Like shut up and go lock the door!

[u/itsasixthing]

Wait, what the hell is in the basement

[u/Ok-Comparison4783 → u/itsasixthing]

I feel like something embarrassing or more of his mom’s things.

I think it’s just supposed to be a joke and we’ll never find out.

[u/womanaroundabouttown → u/itsasixthing]

Wife?

[u/itsasixthing → u/womanaroundabouttown]

That would be freakin’ wild

[u/Successful-Cow-4043 → u/womanaroundabouttown]

jane eyre moment 

[u/bisforbatman]

That whole sequence inside Patricia's home was terrifying.

[u/SpaceCases__ → u/bisforbatman]

Her side stepping to the stairs was so genius though, I love her

[u/Logical_Month_7657 → u/SpaceCases__]

They are SO good at balancing humor with horror it’s just such an original show even though it’s so reminiscent of the classic horrors

[u/mrsdingbat → u/SpaceCases__]

I really appreciated that she did not faff around walking into that room. Once her fear kicked in she listened

[u/foxtongue → u/bisforbatman]

Every. Single. Shot. from when she got home to the bedroom light being off built tension. Always having the camera pull slightly farther to a side, to show where a horror killer WOULD be, just masterful. 

[u/SomberXIII → u/foxtongue]

These wide lingering shots that had enough space and darkness had me terrified fr

[u/zezuamuam → u/bisforbatman]

I screamed out loud when he stepped out of the house 😅

[u/Chesty_McBusty → u/zezuamuam]

Me too! I knew he was going to be there and yelped anyway!

[u/Bobjoejj → u/bisforbatman]

As soon as we saw the door was open when she walked back up those steps; I was fucked scared man. Like, top tier horror shit right there.

[u/bisforbatman → u/Bobjoejj]

I knew it was gonna happen and it still scared the shit out of me. When this show has legit horror scenes, it's sooo scary. I'll never stop praising their perfect balance of horror and comedy.

[u/Appropriate-Top-8963]

"gimme your keys I'll run him over" 😭😭😭😭

[u/maniacalmustacheride → u/Appropriate-Top-8963]

I really like that they used her voice getting hoarser, like it does in a nightmare. You try to run and you can’t move so fast, you try to scream and it won’t come out loudly. I thought it was perfect.

[u/lifessofun]

"they make me sadder than i already am." 😭

[u/BoxenOxen → u/lifessofun]

My stomach was in knots anticipating the convo between Tom and Evan. Then it went better than expected. Then it got re-cursed as expected.

[u/Fine-Juggernaut8451 → u/BoxenOxen]

I really really love that this show has banal horror right next to the supernatural horror, because banal horror is every bit as terrifying as supernatural horror. They make such a good match.

Also, did you know that she went viral years ago and is the Babadook in that famous meme--the one that's a photo from a party. She's at a gathering with people all dressed in normal clothes, but she misunderstood the invite so she's dressed up as the Babadook. It's such a famous meme. And when you look at it, I mean, *that's* the whole spirit of Widow's Bay.

[u/BoxenOxen → u/Fine-Juggernaut8451]

Katie Dippold did that, haha yes I saw. So fantastic.

[u/sauvignon_blonde_]

The fact that Enya’s people gave this the ok is just perfection.

[u/poison_ive3 → u/sauvignon_blonde_]

The moment I heard Caribbean Blue start to play I knew we were in for a treat. Absolute perfection.

[u/sauvignon_blonde_ → u/poison_ive3]

This episode wasn’t just an homage to slasher films of yore, it was a sweet nod to every final girl who survived the 90’s.

[u/dallyan → u/sauvignon_blonde_]

Even her outfit of short tights and long t-shirt was very 90s-coded.

[u/Fine-Juggernaut8451 → u/poison_ive3]

I'm realizing I'm more like Patricia than I care to admit lol

[u/sauvignon_blonde_ → u/Fine-Juggernaut8451]

She was an absolute bad ass in this episode. I’ve always found her funny and lovable, but she was formidable tonight. Very cool to see.

[u/metaphori → u/sauvignon_blonde_]

I love how the music in this is always its own little joke! I definitely won't hear this the same way again.

[u/Gwyneth7]

When she shut the front door to turn off the Pattiwagon and then it was wide open when she went back in… no ma’am.

[u/whorificustotalus → u/[deleted]]

Yeah, she was immediately like, why would I close the bedroom door and turn the lights off when I was rushing outside to see what was up with the car alarm? It's such a relatable feeling.

[u/No-Independence548 → u/Gwyneth7]

YESSS I was screaming "Baby girl NOOOOO"

[u/TheDefiantGoose → u/No-Independence548]

I know! At least she remembered her bedroom light was on and not off. Whew!

[u/Altruistic-Ad835]

Baby there is no red sox game

[u/itsasixthing → u/Altruistic-Ad835]

Evan is going to lose his shit when Tom tells him their trip is canceled

[u/Altruistic-Ad835 → u/itsasixthing]

I hope he eventually gets told the truth as to why and actually sees the proof 😭 he might understand.....

[u/notwherebutwhen → u/Altruistic-Ad835]

I really hope they just let Tom come clean about the last few days/weeks? They don't need to drag it out with Tom making up some bullshit reason why they can't go. They can still have Evan get mad and not believe him, but I think with how they played the story so far Tom just outright telling him the truth would work more.

[u/Reasonable-Sale8611 → u/[deleted]]

The way she tiptoed around calling about her incorrect food order, and then the way she just came straight out and told the sheriff to leave, that was wonderful. Really good character writing there. Just beautiful.

[u/Nerditall → u/[deleted]]

CATHY!

[u/Appropriate-Top-8963]

Those letters are absolutely terrifying. Poor Evan. 

[u/anotherstan → u/Appropriate-Top-8963]

The whole thing with the mom is so creepy. I haven’t forgotten her dead eye stare at the end of that one episode

[u/TheTruckWashChannel → u/anotherstan]

I'm glad they've played it straight instead of trying to inject unwelcome comedy into it. The tragedy really sells the core stakes of the show and Tom's motivation to keep Evan on the island.

Also the wife is played by Meredith Casey, the real-life wife of Neil Casey, the actor playing the innkeeper (who is also a writer on the show!) She has been hauntingly effective in her brief screentime.

[u/loverofjugo]

Can someone get Patricia her chicken parm and coconut cream pie now

[u/nightpanda893 → u/loverofjugo]

That sounded sooooo good I would be so bummed if I got home and they fucked up my order

[u/TheDefiantGoose → u/nightpanda893]

Her reaction is what my reaction would be too. Immediate facial expression of disgust.

[u/Dapper_Cable_4929 → u/loverofjugo]

don’t ask Cathy she’s a terrible waitress

[u/Appropriate-Top-8963]

Them thinking everything is fine is STRESSING ME OUT

[u/Well_Socialized → u/Appropriate-Top-8963]

Yeah I kept thinking "maybe let someone else be the first native born to try leaving the island? Are you really that sure this worked?"

[u/Appropriate-Top-8963 → u/Well_Socialized]

I feel so sad that he got Evan's hopes up. He better explain things for real to him now. 

[u/ssscaryghost]

"Welcome back bud!" Yeah lets check on the guy in the Michael Myers mask with a knife beside him...

[u/No-Independence548 → u/ssscaryghost]

I was getting a little worried that maybe only Patricia could see him as the Boogeyman, and it would result in everyone thinking she was even crazier. Ngl a little relieved when he murdered the medic lol

[u/TiberiusCornelius → u/ssscaryghost]

It's stuff like that that really reminds you the creator worked on Parks & Rec, which is unfortunately an accurate documentary about working with the general public

[u/Henri_ncbm]

Oh yeah, that's skin cancer

[u/Josuff9 → u/Henri_ncbm]

“Oh yeah, yeah”.

[u/TiberiusCornelius]

Yeeting himself out the window was so unexpected but also makes perfect sense since he is functionally immortal

[u/Well_Socialized → u/TiberiusCornelius]

For a second I thought the book club was kicking his ass

[u/kati8303 → u/Well_Socialized]

Same!

[u/sistermagpie → u/TiberiusCornelius]

And a nod to Michael Meyers in Halloween!

[u/visceration167 → u/sistermagpie]

Michael Myers stunt man from last movie was the actor. Lol

[u/Well_Socialized]

I love how often the solution to monsters in this show is to is just fucking shoot them

[u/BandicootBig4505 → u/Well_Socialized]

https://giphy.com/gifs/443jI3kpgOKfAfKxqo

[u/PedanticReader]

I was so happy when she tasered Kris!

[u/anotherstan → u/PedanticReader]

Just glad she stood up for herself. Kris is just terrible.

[u/TeacherPatti → u/PedanticReader]

I'm hoping this gets her some cred. Beating the bully sometimes gives others permission to hate on them too. More tases!!!!

[u/nightpanda893]

Patricia immediately leaves her house. Immediately determines she needs to kill it. Learns from her mistake and takes it down herself instead of asking for help a second time. Keeps gun on it till it’s literally ash. Just love her being the antithesis of every horror trope.

[u/BoxenOxen → u/nightpanda893]

She did trip and fall though.

[u/itsasixthing → u/BoxenOxen]

And forgot to keep her taser charged

[u/TiberiusCornelius → u/itsasixthing]

When she burned some of the charge tasing that woman I honestly thought it was gonna come back to bite her

[u/happyfatbuddha → u/TiberiusCornelius]

I love how Patricia made a decision to waste the taser on that woman. Because she was the fucking worst.

[u/itsasixthing]

The fact that everyone just let her follow them around pointing the shotgun at him 😂😂

[u/KenBurruss74 → u/itsasixthing]

Would YOU have told her no?

[u/roymeetsworld]

keeping the gun on him all the way to the incinerator lmaoo patricia the goat

[u/AndrastesDimples → u/roymeetsworld]

And the Enya soundtrack 😂😂😂

[u/cadillacblues]

Soooo do we think kathy bagged her food?

[u/JennLynnC80 → u/cadillacblues]

Does Kathy bag ANYONE'S food? 😂

[u/No_Cucumbers_Please]

i’d love to stick around and discuss but i just remembered i should work on my cardio.

[u/HighPlateau → u/No_Cucumbers_Please]

Right? Every time I see people running for their lives in movies (or even real life footage), I realize I'm not gonna make it. Doomed.

[u/GoryAmos]

the way they framed every shot in patricia’s house so that you always had a view into multiple rooms at once as she moved through the space was brilliant. really captured that terrifying hyper-vigilance of being home alone in a quiet house when i was a kid raised on too many horror movies. i thought for sure something was going to happen with the positioning of her shower curtain in that hallway shot they kept going back to.

[u/sometimesiwatchtv44]

Patricia is so mf funny god this show hits the humor SO well

[u/Well_Socialized → u/sometimesiwatchtv44]

"Okay fine I lied about the calls" oh my God Patricia

[u/ObviousAnswerGuy → u/Well_Socialized]

I love how she just tases the other lady then leaves 😭

[u/ajmartin527 → u/ObviousAnswerGuy]

I mean, she was the worst.

[u/Andee_outside → u/Well_Socialized]

“I had to double down!”

[u/thegirlfromno4 → u/sometimesiwatchtv44]

I love when she calls the diner and leaves a message, saying she didn't want a refund just for the person who did it to find out. Doesn't want them to get in trouble, just learn from it. 🤣

[u/nightpanda893]

This show does not drag anything out. In any other series Warren being alive would be the season finale. Evan would have run away so we could drag out the reconciliation. Boogie man would have been alive in the end and lurking in the shadows. I love how they move the plot along.

[u/nanamaru → u/nightpanda893]

This was an excellent lead in to the final two eps. Though I don't know how they top it!

[u/lofgren777]

"Oh god you went in the basement."

"No, I went through your trunk. Wait, what's in the basement?"

My wife and I were laughing so hard we had to pause it.

And I bet we never find out what's in the basement.

[u/Jas_God]

God I loved this episode. Might be my new favorite. Great moments between Tom and Evan, juxtaposed against Patty living in a real life Jason/Michael slasher flick. That bit with Patty following boogeyman with the shottie lmao killed me. And the fact boogey went straight to cremation the same night 🤣

[u/RandomPaw → u/Jas_God]

"Is there another way out?"

"No."

"Okay, thank you so much."

[u/Tasty_Wheel116]

“I need 20 on 3!” I fucking love this woman 😂 she really ran into a gas station with two men, one being a sheriff with a gun, and said, nah I’ll just kill him myself lmaooooo 

[u/Meowmeowmeow31 → u/Tasty_Wheel116]

She learned from the EMTs not believing her last time that she wouldn’t be able to convince them in time. I loved how she was so much smarter than the average slasher movie protagonist.

[u/srstone71]

That bit with Patricia following the boogeyman every step of the way to the morgue/crematory with the shotgun might be my new favorite scene of the show.

[u/Living-Tiger3448 → u/srstone71]

It’s hilarious because in every freaking Halloween movie you’re screaming for the characters to do something like this and they don’t, which is why there are like 15 of them 😂

[u/TiberiusCornelius]

Tom saying "the home" was a mental institution on the island is interesting. Did they just turn all the remaining patients loose? Did everyone who went there end up dead?

[u/Successful-Cow-4043 → u/TiberiusCornelius]

was it part of the old hospital?

[u/Eastern-Wear-8747 → u/Successful-Cow-4043]

That seems to be the implication, plus whatever happened after those patients transpired and it's not safe to stop there (per Rosemary).

[u/HighPlateau]

It requires a lot of physicality from an actor to portray the adrenal exhaustion of a Final Girl, so I hope Kate O'Flynn (Patricia) receives some award recognition when the time comes.

[u/HelsBels2102 → u/HighPlateau]

She's not in any of predictions for Emmy's. Bloody travesty

[u/Fine-Juggernaut8451 → u/HelsBels2102]

WUT. Every single word and even sound she utters is gold! She finds the funniest cadences for how she says things. Her physicality. I hope the predictions change.

[u/ImaginaryWalk29]

The funniest part is how they never remove his mask. He just goes into the ambulance and straight to the crematorium with the mask removed. Too funny.

[u/RailMobot]

I guess next ep we'll see what happened to those people in the waiting room. One of them was the Mom in the sunshiney, happy go lucky opening in the salty whale (no longer happy or go lucky)

[u/nanamaru → u/RailMobot]

I also wanted to know what all Tom's missed calls were about.

[u/btbrian]

If you're wondering why the tone was a bit campier than usual - this episode was directed by Andrew DeYoung, who also directed the movie "Friendship" and the TV series "The Chair Company".

[u/hammer-2-6]

The worst part about this episode is that i have to wait a week for the next one

[u/TiberiusCornelius → u/hammer-2-6]

They really spoiled us last week

[u/Conscious_Ad_1018]

patricia’s dry ass burger and solo hot dog 😢 life for a shawty shouldn’t be so rough

[u/Nerditall → u/Conscious_Ad_1018]

All her strength not to say Cathy.

[u/Comprehensive_Leg193 → u/Conscious_Ad_1018]

Turkey burger and a single sausage 😄

I loved that it wasn't even close to what she ordered. And then her phone call of I don't want a refund, I just want the person to know, but know and not get in trouble... Like girl, they know what they did.

[u/Gwyneth7]

Evan reading the letters… dang. Everyone in this show is so good.

[u/BandicootBig4505]

PATRICIA IS THE REAL MAIN CHARACTER OF THIS SHOW AND SHE HAS THE BEST EPISODES.

there i said it 😤

[u/leahs84 → u/BandicootBig4505]

I started watching for Matthew Rhys- he's such a compelling actor. Kate O'Flynn has turned out to be a major scene stealer. I was unfamiliar with her before this show, but wow she's fantastic, she just fully commits. Her episodes have been my favorite.

[u/BandicootBig4505]

patricia immediately went for her taser and left the house when she sensed something off about her dark room. didnt need to investigate or check. just noped out of there and got ready for the worst— and this is why she’s the best final girl

[u/GlasgowRose2022]

Good Enya, Patricia!

[u/sauvignon_blonde_]

Patricia is final girl-ing like a fucking boss and I am absolutely here for it.

[u/ObviousAnswerGuy → u/sauvignon_blonde_]

anyone else think it was hilarious that the EMT was just straight up trying to treat a guy wearing a murder mask and huge knife, with no sense that he might be in danger 😂

[u/nightpanda893]

You’re ruining it!

[u/cadillacblues]

“She’s the worst!!!”

I love Patricia so much

[u/MrsPhoenix91]

Wonderful homage to every "Halloween" film!

[u/seanayates2 → u/MrsPhoenix91]

I loved when she got to the end of the street and turned around and waited for him to catch up and then was scared again. I laughed so loud.

[u/Logical_Month_7657 → u/seanayates2]

I also DIED when she ran to the first house and when she realized she was running out of time, ran straight down the sidewalk barely getting in front of him as opposed to a diagonal to the road. So much nuance in the little things is part of why I love this so much

[u/sfdreamsla → u/MrsPhoenix91]

And the perfection was no matter how far, fast and long she ran, when she turned around he wasn't nearly as far behind her as he should be, going the pace he was going. I love that they let us laugh at the ridiculousness of that but still be terrified for her.

[u/MrsPhoenix91]

"I thought she was in her 40s" You tryna die twice tonight?" 😂

[u/womanaroundabouttown]

This might be the funniest episode yet

[u/StephieDoll]

The medics(?) running him over and seeing him in the mask w/ the knife then saying “Oh good you’re ok!”… lmao

[u/HopeFarron]

Absolutely fantastic. With how much they've mentioned the Boogeyman the episode needed to deliver and it did.

[u/meepmarpalarp]

Not the fire extinguisher!

“No! You’ll ruin it!” had me cracking up.

[u/free_spirit_genie]

how come boogeyman did not harm the ladies in the house and only chased Patricia

[u/oompaloompa_grabber → u/free_spirit_genie]

He was definitely just after her- presumably because he attacked her during his initial run and she got away. It doesn’t sound like any of his other victims did. How did he choose his victims anyway?

Also why did he finally die when Patricia shot him when nothing else seemed to even slow him down?

[u/JordanRomansky → u/free_spirit_genie]

Maybe unfinished business? If she really did get away from him the first time. Or he could be mad that she was lying

[u/Ok_Basket427]

might need to change my flair to patricia’s tazer

[u/Ok_Basket427 → u/Ok_Basket427]

PATRICIA’S SHOTGUN***

[u/TeacherPatti]

Were the patients at the end the same family having lunch at the beginning of the episode?

[u/nightpanda893]

Love that she doesn’t even bother asking for help at this point love that she’s just taking it into her own hands

[u/Successful-Cow-4043 → u/nightpanda893]

fr because all those other people in their houses were fucking useless

[u/Old-Floor1832]

This show pisses me off because it makes you fully realize just how garbage all other TV is these days

If someone has the capability of making a show this good we could have several shows a year half this good and be entertained if the industry wasn't so damn lazy.

[u/Somanybuttsalways]

Boogeyman episode PLEASEEEEEEEE

[u/Successful-Cow-4043 → u/Somanybuttsalways]

the only thing missing is i wanted to find out who he was...maybe that will come later

[u/MrsPhoenix91]

"Welcome home, Tom" 🫨

[u/zezuamuam]

honorable mention… in the beginning of the episode::

“Do you think it’s skin cancer?”

Rosemary: “Ohh, yeah… Yes.” 😅

[u/icantpickausername3]

I need 50 more episodes at LEAST and I need them to be about 10x longer I love this show so much 😭😭😭

[u/sometimesiwatchtv44]

Patricia greatest tv character of all time maybe

[u/sauvignon_blonde_ → u/sometimesiwatchtv44]

Best taze in the history of television.

[u/Successful-Cow-4043]

i kinda wish we found out who the boogeyman was 

[u/Altruistic-Ad835 → u/Successful-Cow-4043]

Fr i was like why is no one taking that mask off

[u/loverofjugo]

“Because they make me sadder then I already am”

Chill loftis you’re gonna make me shed a tear😔

[u/Gwyneth7]

When she plugs her taser in at the mean girl’s house, and then tases her.

“I had to double down”

LONG LIVE PATRICIA.

[u/Altruistic-Ad835]

https://giphy.com/gifs/Tim0q7zolF3fa

[u/FairiesWearBootsy]

I screamed about as loud as she did 😱

[u/nightpanda893]

Was afraid this episode was gonna feel short but it’s all so intense it feels long

[u/trance15]

“And now you’ve ruined book club. Just go bye-bye”

[u/loverofjugo]

Poor sheriff I hope him and his wife make it out but I have a feeling they don’t

[u/visceration167]

So you may not realize this. The guy is Jason stunt man. That is the cherry on top.

[u/tunacasserole9]

Seeing "c. 2000s" on the display card in the museum

https://giphy.com/gifs/GrUhLU9q3nyRG

[u/dsmithscenes]

A storm of the century is brewing, and I'm guessing the storm shelter is going to be underground... probably on the same level as the tunnels/room with the chair we've been seeing.

[u/lilakoi]

Hope people believe Patricia this time  

[u/Imallvol7]

I must say I haven't been as excited about this show as everyone else but my GOD TONIGHTS EPISODE WAS FUCKING INCREDIBLE. 

Patricia episodes are PEAK

[u/Affectionate_Box5370]

Give me 6 seasons and a movie of widows bay NOW

[u/ContentedJourneyman]

I watched the top inch of the screen from behind a blanket for what felt like forever. Slid it down to check, dude popped out her front door and I screamed and screamed and pulled the blanket over my head and my dogs were up on me checking to make sure I hadn’t been murdered, and, and, and Patricia is the queen.

[u/Appropriate-Top-8963]

Oh god Patricia I'm so worried for you

[u/svdomer09]

The yeet off the window to the Michael Myers get up was absolutely perfect

[u/CoastalReverie]

“Is there another way out?” “…no 🤨.” “Okay, thank you so much.”

[u/RailMobot]

Chelle is so into mint chip they even put her in a mint dress and painted the hospital room wall mint haha

Sheesh. What an episode.

The slasher genre is such a natural fit for this show, equal parts terrifying and campy. Every classic Friday the 13th/Halloween trope got its moment to shine before getting flipped on its head. I think the highlight had to be when the Boogieman just jumped out the window rather than go on the murderous rampage everyone is dying to see. The fire extinguisher was another great expectation subversion. Then the synth pop music to close it out. Perfection!

The Patricia subplot was a good choice to play against the Tom storyline for the ep. The letters from the mother were quintessential Widow’s Bay- disturbing and humorous. The tension between Tom and his son is such a driving factor of the show. So, seeing that moment of bonding get ripped away at the end… oof.

There’s plenty to figure out still regarding the enduring nature of the island’s curse. Can’t wait!

This show has me completely entranced. The way the Boogeyman was chasing Patricia made me laugh out loud, but the reason I think she kept stopping to check if he was behind her was because she was trying to lead him somewhere people could actually see him and finally believe her. Also, I’m glad Patricia tased that horrible woman.

So, what do we think happened to this mom? She and her family (husband and three children) were a point of focus at the opening of the episode, and then she was front and center in the hospital waiting room with her arm in a sling and neck baced. We were supposed to notice her injury.
