How does it do that?
Its easily one ofEvils top 5.
Grab your bowl of mini marshmallows, you little demons, and lets dive in.
Hes only getting worse and they have no idea what to do.
Jennifer thinks that even simply the power of persuasion of an exorcism might help snap him out of it.
It all feels par for the course, relatively speaking.
Then, in trueEvilfashion, things get weirder.
It seems like Stuarts condition is somehow spreading.
And not just to his wife, but to David, Kristen, Ben, and even Father Ignatius.
She, as always, knows whats up.
Stuart for sure needs an exorcism there is a demon afoot.
And hes a nasty boy not in the fun way.
No, really, we watch him expand in real-time.
It is something you cant unsee, unfortunately.
But this is not the only demon the good Sister needs to contend with at the moment.
He is very put off by it!
He is finding it best to simply plow through the day and focus on work.
It doesnt take long.
She knows it now for sure: he is the demon of grief.
He prefers to be called Tommy.
Martin is such an asset to this show, it cannot be overstated!!
She decides, instead, to talk to him about Matt.
He bristles at her mention of the Monsignor, but she presses on, she is forcing the conversation.
This scene is magic.
He is lost in his memories of this man he loved and it feels good.
Does it hurt thinking about him?
she asks, knowing of course it does.
Very few people want to talk about people that died, why is that?
But she already knows the answer: Were afraid of hurting.
Matt made me smile.
This myth has been perpetuated around grief that its easier to not bring it up but easier for who?
In truth, pretending like it didnt happen can be even worse.
But it feels so much better in the long run to talk about them.
You have to remember them.
Otherwise, that pesky grief demon is going to get you.
She promptly stomps on his head.
Wait, should I not use dead?
We had a very close call!
Being a parent is life-changing, isnt it?
He is going out of his mind.
In one recording, Kristen is crying about Lauras health.
She also tells Kurt that Andy always wanted a boy and maybe thats why he keeps leaving.
Leland is so fucked it is terrifying.
And also the best.
This time, Leland uses it to inform Andy that he is going to kill Laura as she sleeps.
She was supposed to die two years ago anyway.
I dont think Patrick Brammall gets enough credit for how good he is in this role.
(Also have you seen his showColin From Accounts?
So good and so different from Andy!)
Lelands hypnosis is strong, but Andys love for his kid is stronger, sorry Satan!
He collapses on the bedroom floor.
The entire few minutes are almost unbearable, in the best way.
Hes had a cardiac episode, but will recover.
She hops on the phone with her guys and tells him that she found a needle in his hand.
She is at a loss.
When Andy wakes up, Kristen suggests a 12-step program.
The needle, again, points to a drug habit Andy must be covering up.
But Andy continues to refute that.
He doesnt know what is exactly wrong, but he knows that it isnt that.
Its something worse, he tells Kristen.
He wants to be committed to a psychiatric hospital upstate.
Kristen sobs on top of him.
I want our old life back, she says.
Through tears, Well get it back, Andy assures her.
But before that, shell have more than just Leland to contend with.
As the camera pulls out, we find that little grief demon hanging out outside of their hospital room.
Grief demons are nothing if not persistent.
Church Bulletin
Renees back!
You rememberRenee from season three, right?
The woman from Science Club who was also the leader of a cult and hooked up with Ben?
It winds up being a good thing because he can actually talk to her about whats going on.
She thinks he could be experiencing a multiverse theory situation here.
The ion beam couldve split him into two realities and in one the jinn is real.
Bens trying to drown it out, but its getting more and more difficult.
I actually didnt need many words last night.
That its the women who really need to think about what our Lord means by service?
Sister Andrea is experiencing the same kind of misogyny in the workplace that Sheryl is over in demon central.
It doesnt matter whether youre on Team Demon or Team God, fuck the patriarchy!
