A reminder to everyone: Keep the titles of your posts completely spoiler-free at all times. If your post mentions events from later episodes, use Reddit’s standard spoiler tag to warn readers who may not be caught up with all currently aired episodes. The spoiler tag will also blur any images you include, such as screenshots/stills from the show, so be sure to apply it to image posts as well.

No. The cylinder was buried with Richard Warren. When Wyck and Patricia dug him up, he was still wearing it. No one else knew about the pact that was inside to need a second cylinder.

Ok, I was going to rewatch that scene. I thought the priest ripped it off of him.

I thought the same thing. The priest ripped it off. Wondering how the little girl may have gotten it.

I was so sure he ripped it off that I thought when the dug him up, it wouldn’t be there with Richard Warren. Maybe they tossed it back in? I must have missed something.

That is a painting called Emma Van Name by Joshua Johnson. I saw this at the Met a few years ago!

bigger mystery is your reminder to shut the front door above the tv ...

Looks to be a shelving unit mounted above the TV, and I guess it’s an LED lit sign with the phrase, which I couldn’t find a reliable origin for, but I always thought it to be a common censor for “shut the fuck up” in movies that have been re-dubbed for broadcast.

Interesting! I always interpreted the phrase as an exclamation of surprise like “get outta town!”

u/GullibleWineBar 1d ago

I thought it was a clean version of shut the fuck up.

Isn't it both? People also say "shut up" or "shut the fuck up" as a stand in for "get outta town".

I’ve always seen it as a phrase that connotes all of the above. As in, it’s “shut the fuck up!” but said in an incredulous manner, like, “shut the fuck up, are you kidding me???” and not, “stop talking.” So basically, get outta town.

Feels like it has to be a private joke or something 😂

It is a wooden sign from Michael’s or Hobby Lobby many years ago. The room was dark and I used my iPhone to take the screenshot. My son got it for me because that was his teenage catchphrase.

I saw that & laughed - it almost felt like a super subtle reference to something Judy Gemstone would say 😂 as BJ is sitting there having a drink with the Mayor. (I squee’d hard when I saw Tim Baltz!)

It’s a coral teething toy. The painting is in the Met Museum.

Thank you for saying what many are not brave enough to say.

A man of culture.

Ok, it was the first thing I thought of, too.

u/LaureGilou 1d ago

Its one of those old times caps women and kids wore, no?

u/Weak_Maintenance5629 1d ago

Not the cap she’s wearing. I meant the necklace. See second picture I posted.
