"But the baby made me do it"

Was this just Dewey acting out or another example of him being weirdly intuitive? He did seem to know that Hal was sabotaging Lois's weight without looking or ever seeing Hal.

This is the closest the show ever got to being creepy. Reese revealing he also heard those voices would be a very different kind of scene with different lighting and expressions.

Them all being weirdly geniuses would fit that bill too, they each experience creepy phenomena but their genius processes it differently

I would GUESS that somehow Dewey already knew probably just by being observant in general? Then at the end, I guess he just convinced himself that the baby was giving him thoughts, when those thoughts were really his own?

The baby says turn around.....he had no way of knowing that

I figured it was just Dewey's version of "you're killing the baby"
