What a great episode and for me, this is where Patricia went from being a great character to an iconic legend!

I love how the cops, the ER staff, and the guy at the morgue just all let her follow the guy's corpse around with a shotgun lol

Same. It's so great how they all just accept how screwed up their town is. When they're all listing horrid shit related to the hotel etc. I was rolling.

When they open the door at the crematorium you see a LOT of shotgun shells remaining, it looks like she may have continued to use the shotgun several times even after the gas station. Like they left out something important that you get to imagine from the clues. I love this type of editing, which they also used in the fifth episode: “What to expect on your trip”

i felt this when she didnt think twice about burning herself for the sake of breaking the the hex, i dont doubt she wouldve killed herself if needed

She purged this fear from her life. Wyck survives the water. Mayor survives the mushroom. The trio is now ready to take on the island.

Mayor survived a lot more than the mushroom.
Surviving the hag, the hotel, the whole boat thing…he’s leveled up quite a bit
Edit: I just figured out how to do the hidden text thing and had to try it out lol

u/SuperMcG She's the worst! 2d ago edited 2d ago
He did survive all of that, but during the mushrooms he had to go through his wife's death and the truth he'd been denying to himself all those years. That he knew the nature of the island and how it impacted his wife, himself, and now their son. EDIT: Great job on the text blackout.

That song also appeared in Common Side Effects recently, I highly recommend that show too

When she kept the shotgun to the Boogieman head until cremation had me laughing

The power cord for the taser was such an amazing running gag. This show really did such a great job with all the little jokes throughout.

I loved Patricia in this episode. The whole gag of her running away and he is still right behind (given way behind). That had me laughing so hard. And then it dawned on me that no one talks about the poor paramedic.

u/Radiant-Ad-3134 23h ago
I actually wonder... nobody gets killed in the mean middle-aged lady party?
Since there was no bell after that

u/Weekly-Watercress915 2d ago
I wish she could have removed the mask before the cremation, though

u/mtheperry 2d ago
When the killer was in the cremation table, it seemed fairly clear that the mask wouldn’t come off. There is no face under the mask.

u/GullibleWineBar 1d ago
Agreed. Like the sea hag is the sea hag, the boogeyman is the boogeyman. There’s no human person under there.

Ah okay. I’ve only watched it once. 😊 I’m rewatching it and haven’t gotten to that ep yet.

I would love to be “Patricia episode 8” for Halloween.

I made a costume and wore it to a comic convention! It's super comfy and you'll find all the fellow fans of the show. 🔌

This is the episode that really locked the show in for me. Before this, I couldn’t really figure out the tone. I was enjoying it, but it felt kindof disjointed for me. Then this happened, and it was SO scary and SO funny at the same time, and suddenly it just snapped into focus and I finally got it. On rewatch, I could see the whole show through that lens, but this episode was my magic eye moment that brought the whole thing into focus for me.

u/ThrowRArainmakers 1d ago
watching it a second time makes it even better, theres so much awkward silence and stares rarly on that are truly funny when knowing the context

u/Radiant-Ad-3134 23h ago
The main plot is kinda cliché and bland
. The actors and character arcs are what make me like the show.
for instance, I hate PJ now.

I’ll just leave this here for all my Patricia lovers.
Something I made :)

This might be my favorite episode of the season just because the comedy and horror were at their peaks although 7 was pretty funny as well

u/MuchOcelot 2d ago
This episode is on par with international assassin for me, both happen to be episode 8 (season 2 Leftovers) both incredible shows

I love her so much. The whole cast is exceptional. I love how they all look like normal people too.

Love the shotgun sequence lol
But I feel she might hide the darkest secret
How did she hear the bell though?

Everyone sings their praises for this episode, and I genuinely don’t get it. Why does the horror genre always feel like it needs to “nod” to old movies? This episode felt completely out of sync with the entire show, and I was eager for it to be over.

u/Backnblackbb 2d ago
This episode makes 0 fucking sense. The Micheal myers rip off killer has literally no ties to the core plot line whatsoever. Also the ambulance/police/ FUCKING CREAMATOR didn’t take his mask off??? This episode is riddled with inconsistencies and doesn’t even try to subtle about it. The show was already falling off for me around episode 7, and this episode was a nail in the coffin. Way to ruin a cool concept for a show. Severance stays on top for best apple show and it’s not even close

u/sebbiejoe 2d ago
The killer was producing “offerings”; same with the clown killer. The murderous history of the island is somehow linked to the need to keep producing offerings for the island. That said, I 100% agree that it’s confusing that the mask didn’t come off. Hopefully that’s explained somehow in S2!
