Happy!: When Christmas Was Christmas

January 30, 2018 1:43 PM - Season 1, Episode 3

"While tracking his daughter, Sax remembers his dark past. Merry and Amanda make a chilling discovery. Hailey is coerced into spilling information about her dad." (IMDB summary)

In the Fanfare talk thread about Happy!, Nanukthedog made a decent argument about having episode-by-episode posts - namely, for people who watch this down the line - and I wanted to discuss the latest, so I'm making posts for the other episodes.

Thanks for these individual posts. I like to drop comments about each episode without them getting lost in a bigger all-season post.

This was a really good episode contrasting the previous zaniness of the last two. The whole thing with Meredith and Nick's affair was so cold and cruel against the emotions of Amanda. And you can see how Nick broke against the system and became who he is now. It's almost a blame-less lose-lose scenario for everybody. Well except for the affair, that was just wrong on their part.

So is Evil Santa like super strong or something? What kinda stuff is he on?

Happy mentions a "burning plastic smell, but sweet" and Sax mentions meth(amphetamine).
