This episode is quite possibly the most thrilling and best episode of this series so far. The previous few new episodes had been progressing at a slow pace, and I started to worry about the show's renewal for season 5. The show had begun to feel more like a horror comedy show rather than a horror show, but this episode changed everything. Although it started slowly, as the episode progressed, it became more and more thrilling, building up to a truly gripping climax that left me wanting more.

The fast-paced and fantastic plot of this episode was executed brilliantly, keeping me on the edge of my seat throughout. I was particularly impressed by the last scene between Leanne and Dorothy. With just two episodes remaining, I am eagerly awaiting to see how the story unfolds and how the show's creators will wrap up this intense and suspenseful storyline.

I'll preface this by saying this show has become a trainwreck. I wish I could see past the flaws and enjoy it in it's current state, but this isn't a show with a low budget on EW or a secondary streaming service . This is on Apple TV+ and it should be judged accordingly.

With that said, on with the Non-Spoiler Review: Sean and Julian (having somehow fallen for Uncle George's lies, undoing all the growth we've seen this season) are trying to turn Leeane over to the Church so she can be de-programmed. Julian has a few braincells left that make him somewhat leery of the plan at least. Meanwhile Dorothy's screen time is dedicated to her moving around the home on her own, intentionally wasting several minutes of runtime.

Lastly, this episode ruins Leeane's character far more than I could have imagined was possible. At the start of the Season she's battling against a few dozen cultists, 7 episodes later and she's declaring war on God (which was hinted at in the Preview but I was really hoping was Out of Context). Let that sink in before you watch this disaster. Even the Church thinks Leeane is a "threat" to God apparently.

They're building towards a Finale of Dorothy vs. Leeane. Super-powered being vs. Middle-aged cripple.

How did we get here? This was a great story of a family unable to cope with loss that degenerated into a awful show about a cosmic battle of Good vs. Evil.

The only good thing about the show is that there's 2 episodes left.
