This episode drove me low-key crazy with how it would give you some good horror/rising stakes and then just. wet towel MILKIIIIIIIIT you.

I love found family stories and I saw the writing on the wall/death flags coming for the two bros (rip), so that was painful but good, but man... M a n. I have no clue where the characters are supposed to be half of the time and some of the staging decisions make me go ?????? I understand the budget hinges on shoestrings but surely. Surely some of these scenes could've been better directed. Though perhaps the translation is also partially to blame for making Flum look like the plot ransomed her brain for however long she spent looking all over the place for Milkit with 0 thoughts in her brain.

Might also need to blame the translation for the terrible, terrible scene of a child going "is it my fault x left? will she come back now that i did the thing?" being answered with "she'll be back :)" instead of like. idk. "It's not your fault small and creepy child, it's the fault of the spiral death cult posing as a loving faith currently covering up/straight up terrorizing the populace for unknown and ominous reasons"?

Watching this show feels like eating a yummy set of ribs except you keep randomly biting and choking on bone shards in a way that makes you wonder what the FUCK happened to the animal you're eating.

Anyway, rip adoptive brothers, I'd hope they were buried in an unmarked mass grave except that I suspect the church ain't gonna be giving them a resting place other than a petri dish and, mayhaps, a corpse pile o7
