Heres the thing: The literal fires in this episode are much less terrifying than the metaphorical ones.
Lets start with the case of the week.
Mathilda, you see, has been setting fires in the house.
This is why they decided to call the church it has to be more than psychological.
Ben thinks they might have the wrong religion.
This jinn in particular has to do with fire and seems to be up to no good.
David rolls up with our Exorcist Priest (Brian!
So its, like, a really cute afternoon for everyone.
It seems like Exorcist Priest gets the last word in before Mathilda appears to return.
So it seems that nobody wins, least of all Mathilda.
Another creepy kid to add toEvils collection.
There is a more pressing matter, however: Those threats that Mathilda/whatever possessed her made toward Kristen?
They werent just for show.
That darkness that Leland believes is taking over Kristen, it seems to be growing.
The episode begins with Kristen in bed feeling all hot and horny, but things escalate throughout.
Weve never seen this side of Kristen!
you’re free to see her really living for the thrill of it here.
But then she sets her eyes on the exit sign and makes her getaway before taking things further.
And then she gets in her car and that fire monster is literally breathing down her neck.
Yep, Sheryl is Up To Something, friends.
Oh, Boggs is very helpful.
Is even 3 percent of this sincere?
She needs his help, she pleads!
He tells her to come in one more time and hell help her find another therapist.
So honestly, what the hell is up with Sheryl?
Aside from the Sheryl connection, we have the whole tea set situation running through this episode.
Also its red, SO YOU KNOW ITS BAD.
Not only does it sum up things pretty nicely, it also perfectly demonstrates the tone of this show.
I mean, Sister Andreas look in that moment really says it all.
That same tension between Exorcist Priest and the sheikh was also felt between David and, surprisingly, Ben.
He may not believe in Islam, but hes protective over his familys faith.
Its an interesting development!
Dr. Boggs microwaves a teddy bear cushion to sit on during sessions.
Boggs must be protected at all costs.
