Lets take a look at the entire arc ofRatchedover eight episodes.
Is her childhood trauma impacting her role as an angel of mercy?
Does it sound to anyone else like a story thats being made up as it goes along?
By the end, it barely resembles where it started.
Before then, the cancer subplot gets some melodrama with hair loss and vomiting.
Briggs just wants to slip away while the sun sets over the ocean.
Can Mildred give her that and save her brother from pain before he dies?
And they leave Edmund in a barn for an hour to commune with a horse.
This is how shell save him, by being an angel of mercy yet again.
Shell do so in the barn where hes found recent peace.
Theres some poorly written dialogue between Edmund and Mildred designed to close their arc a bit.
She wants him to know she was grateful that he saved her.
(Did Charlotte kill Ondine too?
Makes you wonder.)
Instead of calling the police did they ever replace Harold the guard?
Its shameful, really, how this show treats its kindest characters.
Suddenly, Charlotte/Hanover has become Ondine again and shes rampaging through Lucia.
Edmund and Charlotte flee the scene, slowly driving past Mildred on her way to the hospital.
Cut to Mexico in 1950.
Edmund is now finally going to kill his sister and then himself.
He stabs Mildred in a truly shocking moment … thats just a dream.
A season of cheap narrative fake-outs ends with the cheapest trick in the book.
A phone call, which Edmund makes to his sister.
They could forget everything that happened in this years epilogue.
Only time will tell.
Who are your season one MVPs?
My favorite performances were from Sharon Stone, Judy Davis, and Jon Jon Briones.
Same for Finn Wittrock, who never seemed well-cast.
Although the real MVP of the season is the design team.
Even as the show became increasingly annoying, it always lookedamazing.
What are you looking for in season two?
I need more consistency of tone or just a willingness to lean into theAHSorigins and go off the rails.
Give me camp or give me truth dont ride the middle line to nowhere.
