Grotesquerie captures your attention with toxic relationships, stacked on toxic relationships, but at the top of the pyramid is Nash's Lois Tryon, and in this episode, we see Nash present a performance for the ages.
The episode starts with Lois negotiating with her daughter in a way that can only lead to a "no contact" future, as she leverages her daughter's addiction to fuel her own.
Then, fully inebriated, she goes to a scene so horrific all in attendance are simultaneously speechless and pleading for Lois to give up the case, given her apparent alcoholism. Nash's (Lois) rebuttal is OSCAR-worthy. If you feel the fire of Nash's performance deriding the failure of the police or society to protect the most vulnerable among us, and you DON'T feel both shame and awe, then you have a heart made of stone.
Lois is aware of her failing balancing act of pursuing a monster, watching her husband die, and embracing the edge and numbness staying drunk gives her.
As Sister Megan (Micaela Diamond) and Father Charlie's relationship progresses, they slide ever closer to sin. Diamond is compelling as she makes Sister Megan seem both sexually overt and fully committed to scripture.
The writing and direction of this episode are stellar and this episode ends, absolutely, making you eager to see the next episode. This series has me HOOKED!!!
