Well, okay,Evil, pop all the way off.
And, friends, none of it is pretty.
Hes been sort of a joke or, at least, taking some real missteps.
But its as if that guy ate that demons heart and snapped right on out of it.
Here, we are reminded just how terrifying Leland (and Michael Emerson) can be.
That Hello, David when we realize he has turned Davids remote viewing power on our beloved priest?
I will carry it with me for weeks!
Yep, you read that right: Leland hijacks Davids remote viewing.
Lets set the stage a bit.
Remember that Kristen informed us her neighbor recently moved and the house is empty and up for sale.
The girls cant help themselves but break in next door … only to learn that its all a setup.
The voice theyre hearing is coming from a phone set next to the vent upstairs in the empty house.
Kristen smashes his face with that cake and slaps the guy multiple times, but he isrevelingin it.
You have no idea how hard this is making me right now, he tells her.
Another line of Lelands that I will carry with me long after this episode is over.
The Bouchards are okay.
And yet, murder is bad.
A sin, even.
He presents this predicament to Father Ignatius, who remains the absolute fucking best.
Father Ignatius is so open and vulnerable with David.
Of course he would do it.
Of course hes going to do it.
This sequence is done so well.
Thank God (maybe literally?)
The connection is lost for the moment.
I guess he was too busy not remembering victims names to inform David of this crucial piece of info.
Team Assessor will fix this mess.
Leland does not know hes fanning the flames of some top-notch sexual tension over at the Bouchard house.
Regardless, Leland has been thwarted for the time being.
As if Im not going to talk about the Bathtub Conversation.
I wish I had two lives: both for you.
I MEAN, COME ON.
Bens perfectly timed What about me?
is the perfect button to the moment, too.
Once again, its these very complicated, compelling human interests that ground this wild-ass show.
The quietness of that moment doesnt last long.
One thing was always clear: She would do anything to keep her daughter and granddaughters safe.
But then one of Lelands demon goons saves his ass one more time, knocking Sheryl out cold.
In true Sheryl fashion, she might be dead, but shes not done terrorizing Leland.
She left two envelopes, one for Kristen and one for Andy, with Boggs to deliver.
And yet, does anyone feel like Leland might still have the last laugh here?
And isnt that what Leland has been after all season?
To have Kristen bond with Timothy?
How did David so easily run around the city during a Category 5 superstorm?
I know hes Gods chosen one and all, but lets be so for real.
The running gag of the Bouchard girls ordering an insane amount of toilet paper warms my heart.
Wheres the Bob OdenkirkLittle Womenmeme when you need it?
They are my little women, guys!!
