Well,Lovecraft Countrywas a ride full of ups and downs up until the end, wasnt it?
Did it have flashes of brilliance, haunting imagery, and evocative genre material?
We cant stop fightin now, he insists.
Full Circle, picks up right after our gangs return to Chicago from the observatory inKentucky.
Its full of red fire, Hannahs rage made manifest.
Here they learn the magic they will need to get to beat out Christina in Ardham.
So how did everyone fare?
He lays his head in her lap and the two share a tender moment.
After this, Atticus acts less out of fear and is more kind.
He apologizes to Ji-Ah and is loving toward Letitia.
But to honor his ancestors plans, he isnt swayed.
Atticus acts with selflessness in his final days.
As predicted, Atticus dies in the Autumnal Equinox ceremony.
Christina drains the blood from his arms before they can kill her.
Before Atticus dies, he is able to see Leti and the two exchange I love yous.
He knew this would be his fate, but he knows his lineage will live on.
In the ancestral realm, Hannah told him you gon save em all they had bigger plans for tonight.
Its not just his family hes saved.
RubyAt their mothers grave, Letitia asks for Rubys help in getting a piece of Christina.
Ruby is resistant, indicating that Leti only wants her to act like family when she wants something.
Ruby ultimately comes around, albeit offscreen.
The two have sex as themselves.
Does Ruby do this just to give Christina a false sense of security?
It seems that in choosing to steal the potion, she picks a side.
We see Ruby bring the potion to the gang before they set out for Ardham.
She fights with Letitia in the tower and pushes her out the window, as Ruby.
Leti leans heavy into her faith and she and Atticus are baptized with Atticus.
Leti even stabs Christina with a sword but the wound doesnt stick.
Thankfully, Ji-Ah uses her tails to connect the two, and Leti successfully bans Christina from magic.
Not just you, she tells an injured Christina, every white person in the world.
This is what Hannah meant about saving them all.
White people can no longer use magic in this world.
Ji-AhIn Chicago, Ji-Ah agrees to meet with Atticus where he apologizes for saying their love was never real.
Her mother has recently died, and shes worried that her ability to feel has died along with her.
Atticus calls them family, and Ji-Ah is taken in by the group as such.
ChristinaChristina spends Full Circle prepping for the Autumnal Equinox ceremony, sometimes with Ruby by her side.
Christinas plans are foiled when Ji-Ah intervenes and the completed spell causes an explosion.
Shes crushed under rubble and left in pain until Diana shows up to tell her one last thing.
HippolytaNow that Dianas curse has been lifted, Hippolyta can finally tell her about her journeys to other worlds.
Diana is upset she was left alone.
Hippolyta has a surprise for Diana thats revealed to us in the final moments of the episode.
MontroseMontrose is knocked out during the fight with the horde.
DianaDees curse is lifted, but she can no longer use her left arm.
She feels abandoned and is worried shell never draw again.
In Ardham she is left alone (again!)
A shoggoth starts to attack but the black shoggoth shows up to protect her.
Ji-Ahs vision shows that in Chicago, Tic introduced them and has transferred its allegiance to her.
Dee says, you still havent learned, and its revealed that Hippolyta made her a fancy robotic arm.
Dee chokes Christina so hard with her new hand that her neck explodes, killing her.
The black shoggoth roars in the light of the moon as the episode ends.
She has a lot of nerve!
Hannahs magic has protected the family for a long time.
Tics family birthmark worked as a way to hide the bloodline from the Braithwhites all these years.
We never witnessed the future that Atticus saw when he went through the portal.
Whos the hooded woman who gave him the copy ofLovecraft Countrywritten by his son?
Dee to Hippolyta: You werent here, and they …
The way she trails off before shes able to mention Bobos name to her mother is pretty heartbreaking.
Theres no indication from any of our characters that Ruby can or will be saved.
Which is a shame.
There was room for Yahima to live and fight alongside our protagonists in the finale.
Dees final act of violence (or mercy?)
Its an interesting origin story, but very dark!
I hope shes okay after this!
Should Montrose and Sammy reconcile and take care of baby George together?
