TW: This episode discusses suicide and describes witnessing one. My recap will not include any description, however.

We opened where we closed last week, with Leland coming home to discover Sheryl has destroyed his place and written a threat in blood. She’s still there, holding a knife. He asks “what’s goin’ on?” in a hilariously casual voice, and she tells him to never attempt to murder his granddaughters by proxy again. Iffy pointed out Leland has shown no evidence thus far of caring about his dick and whether it remains intact. Leland points out Sheryl has signed up for plenty of evil, and did I miss that they were both keeping young with these transfusions? Anyway, Sheryl has destroyed all of Leland’s, and they stab each other. Leland definitely looks like he got stabbed in a major artery and should maybe consider a hospital, but instead he’s focused on making the Antichrist stop crying.

Cut to Kristen’s daughter, who is showing her how to use AI “for research”. And another one used it for an essay. Who even needs AI to know the basics of the Book of Job? Doesn’t every know that? It’s one of the most fucked up Bible stories! Lynn’s secret nunnery plans are revealed to Kristen, so Kristen shows up to tell of Sister Andrea. She’s wearing her best Bump-It for the occasion. It looks stupid.

The Team is meeting a very smarmy man who mumbles a lot, but what I got is that he’s a train engineer and has seen a lot of suicides on the tracks. He’s feeling haunted by what he’s witnessed, particularly the death of a young woman.

Kristen is not going on the haunted train ride as she and the girls are visiting Sheryl in the hospital. Ben comes home and sees that someone is clearly in his house. It’s Renee, who claims Ben invited her to move in.

We’re on the haunted train ride. David and Ben aren’t seeing whatever it is the conductor is seeing. But David sees something in the opposite direction. Ben, you can’t call David out for going where he isn’t supposed to, you WALKED INTO A SUPERCONDUCTOR. Anyway, it’s a demon goat man and only David is seeing it. It drops off the train bridge into what happens to be Kristen’s backyard.

A whole 22 minutes before the intro. “You will not be haunted if you skip Netflix intros”. LOL.

Back in Kristen’s backyard, Ben casually says that the huge claw marks in concrete “could be an animal”. They look like the claw marks from the superconductor. In the house, the girls are using an AI thing that claims to identify and talk to supernatural entities. This one verbally tells them it will hurt them. They tell Kristen the house needs an exorcism and honestly, yeah. Get Sister Andrea in there with her garden shears. The girls also rightfully call out Kristen’s hypocrisy in engaging in this work while preaching that one shouldn’t believe in the supernatural. Also, you’ve SEEN shit, Kristen. Kristen agrees to have Sister Andrea and Father Acosta perform a ritual in the house.

Ben is telling his sister he’s seeing the djinn. His sister tells him some shit about his childhood that he didn’t know. Their father cheated on their mother for years, somehow using migraines as an excuse.

Sheryl is home pretty quickly after being stabbed! I love her wallpaper. Kristen tells her nothing has changed, and Sheryl vows to earn her trust back. Sheryl reveals some huge bottles of that youth serum the second Kristen leaves the house and injects herself with it. Very trustworthy.

Now we’re exorcising/”ritualizing” Kristen’s house. Important note: marzipan is gross. But I still love Sister Andrea. Apparently their bathtub is just full of evil. I’ve cleaned the drains and I agree. When they get to the basement, Sister Andrea goes straight into the Evil Basement Hole and suddenly we’re in Barbarian or maybe Flanagan’s Ouija. The hole contains Lou, the very snarky demon David saw on the train tracks who is resistant to harm in his little tunnel. He burns Sister Andrea’s wrist. She tells Kristen she needs to close that hole up immediately, and commissions Ben to do it. She’s going to watch the Evil Basement Hole tonight.

Guess Ben bricked up the hole, and he gets home at 2am to Renee telling him he said he’d buy scented candles. She’s acting surprised that Ben doesn’t remember this even though they’ve established earlier in the episode he keeps forgetting these things. His call logs have no evidence that he called her about the candles, but she’s moving out anyway.

Train Conductor guy says he’s no longer seeing things on the tracks. I still don’t trust that guy.

Back to Ben and Renee, who claims Ben called and begged her to stay with a very embarrassing video. Renee, you are insane for preferring that cringe version of Ben. Ben is obviously very concerned about whatever is happening to him. So that’s the time to cut away to Kristen’s house! There’s entities everywhere and it feels like a scene from Death Stranding. THE END.
