Maisie (to Lois, re Grotesquerie): "If he wanted you dead, you'd be dead. He has bigger plans for you. For you to be a martyr."
And just like that, shit got a lot more weirder for Detective Lois Tryon. I think having a serial killer like Grotesquerie wanting you to be a martyr might be even worse than having him simply want to kill you.
The path that led Lois to this realisation was nicely executed though. She brought both the baby and elderly Maisie from the last episode to the hospital. Quickly it got revealed the woman couldn't be the baby's actual mother but that was she was a delusional former fanatic who had worked with Grotesquerie. Also she kept saying Glorious a ridiculous amount of times that Lois should've copped on earlier.
Yes, the mentioned Glorious McKall appeared in this episode when Lois and Franklin paid the new minister a visit. Glorious sort of revelled in Lois being slow on the uptake before filling in the blanks about Maisie and Grotesquerie's connection some more. Then she got arrested but as a foil to Lois, I did find Glorious rather entertaining and I hope we get to see more of her this season.
As for Lois, that later conversation with Maisie really was unsettling. Maisie laid it on thick with talking of the Antichrist, black goats and the fire pits but Lois did seem genuinely unsettled by being factored into a serial killer's much bigger plan. On the plus side, at least Lois and her team found the babies.
The final few minutes of this one had Lois and her team not only find those babies but several women who were being milked for them as well. Then there was Lous coming very close to death until she got a lucky shot in. Of course the episode ended with Lois seeing her attacker but not us. Father Charlie? Franklin? An unknown perhaps? We better find out next week.
- Nurse Redd had an affair of sorts with Marshall before his coma and Lois reacted far calmed than Redd deserved. Redd had a home in England and Brough Lois Croatian vodka.
- Sister Megan woke up at the end of the episode while Merritt and Eddie watched a cooking show on the farmer's laptop.
- Standout music: Otis Redding's My Lover's Prayer and Mozart's Requiem.
- Chronology: From where the previous episode left off.
Good Caesarean Work was another shorter episode but it did manage to deliver where it needed to do so. The Nurse Redd subplot sort of broke up the main story, the Maisie and Glorioys scenes were great and the last few minutes delivered. I enjoyed this one.
Rating: 8 out of 10
