Our Take

Picking up from the previous episode, the story balances a softer, character-driven side with an increasingly disturbing turn in its overarching plot. Flum and Milkit’s relationship continues to develop, bringing a more emotional and intimate layer to the episode, even as hints of jealousy and shifting dynamics emerge among those around them. At the same time, discoveries tied to the Church and strange, unnatural phenomena begin to surface, suggesting a deeper conspiracy that reaches far beyond what the characters initially understood.

As the narrative progresses, the tone sharply pivots into darker territory, with unsettling transformations and violent encounters escalating the sense of danger. The series leans heavily into its horror elements here, contrasting its quieter, heartfelt moments with grotesque body-horror imagery and sudden tragedy. While this creates striking emotional whiplash, it also highlights the pacing’s strengths and weaknesses: some developments feel rushed, while others linger for dramatic effect.

Overall, this episode delivers a powerful mix of romance, mystery, and horror, though the balance among those elements can feel uneven at times. The emotional core remains compelling, especially in the interactions between key characters, but the increasingly chaotic plot and reliance on shock value may not land equally for everyone. Still, it leaves a strong impression and builds anticipation for what comes next.
