We are again brutally reminded that Daniels ghost isnt the only Native spirit haunting the Oklahoma countryside.
Quickly, Bear discovers just whom hes eating with and is understandably terrified.
Upon clocking her hoofed feet, Bear asks the Deer Lady if shes going to kill him.
But Bear isnt going to be the target of Deer Ladys wrath this time around.
Hes not a bad man, just your average confused teenage boy.
Here, the Deer Lady is fully transformed into the being we now know her as.
