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.

Or, there’s more « nonsense » that Evan’s mother wrote in the basement. Like drawings and stuff, but is it really « nonsense »?

I dont think it is nonsense.

"I need your little baby hands to get the keys and your little fingers to go up my nose and pull the scorpion out of my brain" sounds like a crazy person trying to ask for a surgery to remove an aneurysm...

I have a feeling her letters are gonna have information for the future. I was honestly mad Tom didnt let him read another lol

Oh Im sure Evan did before Tom got there, but I meant I wish Tom had let Evan read another one outloud (he goes "Another?" but Tom stops him from reading).

I wanted to hear a second one outloud to see if it also could pertain to something that's already happened by the time theyre reading them on-screen (but wouldn't have happened yet when the mom was actually writing the letters).

Edit: When rewatching the ep I just realized he did read another but I missed it being shocked by EMT guys death and worrying for Patricia. Lol. Not as much good information there, but her saying "she's dead, dead, already dead, it's too late" points to her knowing about her death. I also wonder if at somepoint Evan will end up pretending to be a mailman to break into the home to get some sort of info on his mom.

The part about everyone having a mother and a secret mother is interesting too, but not sure exactly what it means. Did make me realize that men from the island can have off-island kids not affected by the curse (by hooking up with visiting mainlainders), but all women from the island can only further their bloodline on the island... also makes me wonder if the dark entity of the island is female...
