Often, in the wake of a terrible tragedy, victims are painted as saints.

Transgressions are forgotten and edges are smoothed to make a loss or a difficult time more palatable.

Some of it works, some of it doesnt, but its all pretty devastating.

Reena narrates the top of the episode, seemingly from beyond the grave.

Then, the Jehovahs Witnesses come knocking on their door.

And within that community they find meaning, belonging, and acceptance.

Years later, a bright-eyed young Manjit (Raj Lal) arrives in Canada looking for opportunities.

but Suman isnt having it.

They both have deep-rooted desires to raise a family and love their children.

(Damn you, Josephine.)

The bitch cant get out of there fast enough.

Kelly, on the other hand, makes herself right at home.

Manjit cheerfully corrects her they were actually in Japan and Kelly skulks away.

For some reason, the girls make their way into Manjit and Sumans closet.

I never, ever, ever in my entire high-school-girl life went into my friends parents closets.

I cannot emphasize how odd this is.

When Josephine handles the heirloom earrings, Suman gently takes them from her and explains how important they are.

So its even more of a gut punch when its revealed that Josephine eventually steals them for kicks.

Same with Kelly toying with Reenas bird, Snooch.

(A+ name for a bird, by the way.

Just really fantastic.)

The girls sit down for dinner, and the promised takeout doesnt materialize.

However, Manjit says a prayer even though Reena protests, and then he starts in on Josephine.

Manjit in a terribly misguided but ultimately kind move offers to help her.

Feeling vulnerable and caught out, Josephine flips the fuck out.

The girls are quickly picked up by Kellys doting mother, and Reena has it out with her parents.

The next day, Reena goes to Seven Oaks to apologize, and Josephine whips up a dastardly plot.

When the cops come for Manjit, hes stress-eating leftover pizza and coaxing Snooch back into the house.

But then it all comes crashing down, courtesy of the devil incarnate, Josephine Bell.

She then artfully drapes it around Dusty, who absolutely rocks it.

But weve got four episodes to go.
