The baby's cry. If you remember the beginning of the first episode when young steven first walks out of his room and into the hallway there's the sound of a baby crying. That was the Dudley's stillborn baby that he mentioned in this episode.

Jump scares are cheap tropes, but this one is brilliant as it has a purpose and a reason to be there in the story.

And again, Nell intervenes when the family argues, just like the scene where her coffin fell over. You say she can make herself noticeable, but not like this. She tried to do that all the time "but nobody can see me.... nobody can see me". Have you forgotten that yet? This was the first time that Nell could make herself noticed, she wanted to be heard and finally it worked. Nell's scream has led both sisters to listen to each other and to forgive. The silence of the father has brought the children on this path. It's all the father's fault. The children could not deal with the death of their mother, because the father thought it was to protect his children. The result was that the children never got answers and it follows that every child was alone with their thoughts. Their imagination had to serve to get explanations they could live with. This separated them all and the consequences are devastating. Unprocessed trauma throughout life. There were no answers and the father left.

I wouldn't say this was "the father's fault". He literally believes that he is protecting his children, which is the job of any parent.
@TomTomson813 ай бұрын
@@jhornacek Nevertheless, all his children have to bear the consequences of this. It was his silence that brought all the children there, as broken as they were. Otherwise, they would have been able to come to terms with the death of their mother. So yes, the father's fault is 100%, even if it came with good intentions. Although it has to be said that he also left his children. So he wasn't even present.

@@TomTomson81 So by your logic, he should have told all of his children "Your mother was driven insane by a haunted house. Yes, ghosts are real." That is an insane thing to tell little kids. And by the time they were adults, he assumed/hoped that they had grown past that and didn't need to know it. Why introduce new trauma to them? So no, I do not agree that this is 100% the father's fault, or his fault at all. It's all Poppy's fault. And he literally explains that he kept this from the kids to protect them, which is why he "left" his children. He was trying to protect them.

@@jhornacek No, I say, you talk to the children and answer the questions they have honestly and conceal the rest. Just like you do in real life. If necessary, you lie, but the main thing is to talk. None of this has been done by the father. There is a very simple story that everyone would have understood. One story for everyone, so that no one has to think up crazy individual stories. Your mother has always suffered from migraines. Due to the black mold we were all exposed to, that's why our brains played tricks on us. Your mother wasn't crazy, the black mold made her sicker than us. And one day her migraine was so severe that she threw herself down the balcony or simply fell. She loved you all very much. This house was a mistake, we didn't know any better. This is a story that everyone can understand individually and process together. It has nothing to do with ghosts, but hallucinations triggered by mold. Everyone could live with it. Especially since this is an explanation that can absolutely correspond to the truth. Because all the apparitions that the children had afterwards were due to the trauma. These phenomena would then not exist at all, because the trauma has been processed. It's that simple. Because as the Duddley's said, when you're not in the house, everything is normal. So the family's life would have continued normally. As normal as in any family that has lost a parent.

I honestly think Trish gets a bum rap. She is not stalking Theo. She's trying to navigate her feelings and how to act around a woman she likes a lot but who really seems to be going through so much she's erratic--which is absolutely True. This is literally the first time Trish has made a move towards Theo, and she only did it after Theo reached out to her at a moment of great emotional need. Because Theo touched Trish, so Theo KNOWS who she is, knows she's no stalker, knows she genuinely feels something for Theo. At a time when Theo felt horrified, felt empty and utterly alone and cold, who did she reach out to in an attempt to feel something? Trish. The only way that makes much sense is if Theo had indeed felt something in Trish's arms.
@jhornacek3 ай бұрын
Yeah, this would have been weird and out of line if Trish and Theo had only had that first-night interaction. But Theo called her the next (?) night, emotionally told her about "her day", and then they had spent the night together. Trish thought that this was more than just the "one night stand" that Theo had indicated after their first night together.

_"I'm sorry, but that looks like Shirley."_ I think you're the first reactor I've heard say that - and I agree! I don't really agree with those who says that the show only gets better after episode 6. That's not to say that it gets bad, but the fifth and sixth episodes are what I consider TV-show milestones.

I normally don't jump scare easily, and not bad when I do. But HOLY HELL, Headphone flew off, My cigarette launched out of my hand and hit the monitor, almost fell out of my seat, screamed like a little school girl and spent the next 20 seconds trying to compose myself, which of course led to several minutes of me laughing hysterically. I REALLY wish I had been recording it. because it would have been so funny to see me (6'4", 280lbs, Grizzly Adams lookalike) totally losing his shit. Then to follow it with Theo's EPIC monologue, nearly put a tear in my eye everytime.

The part that's always breaks my heart is Theo's description after touching Nell, of feeling nothing and having that nothingness spreading... she's not talking about feeling death, she's feeling Nell's depression
@jhornacek3 ай бұрын
That's possible, but it's more likely that she was feeling Nell's death. She never felt Nell's "depression" when she touched her when she was alive. So when she touches her when she's dead, it's more likely that she's feeling "death". As far as we know this it the first dead person Theo has touched.

31:20 So... it doesn't excuse what Steve did, but my personal take on it is that he was subconsciously protecting Leigh from the sickness that destroyed his childhood. I don't think it was a logical or conscious thing. Denial is a powerful force.

Steve has grown up thinking that his mother was insane and that he (and his siblings) inherited that insanity, and that not only would any children he had inherit it, but that he will eventually go insane like his mother. That is a horrible way to live.
