Holly gets more awesome with every episode. I love her deadpan delivery, with just a hint of wit underneath.

The big hole in the plot for me this week was when Jeannie gave Ralph the drawing she'd done of the Hooded Man and he didn't immediately link it to the almost identical drawing of the Hooded Man that the car thief kid had also come up with. That made no sense to me.

Yeah, that was weird.

I attributed that to Ralph's insistence (as a parallel to Glory's) that Jeannie was dreaming. He does self-describe as having "no tolerance for the unexplainable", and we see him grappling with that and slowly re-examining his position in this episode as he takes the pictures Holly requests, but I don't expect him to start jumping there immediately just yet.

I guess it could even be possible that it was a "dream"?

Because there's more grief to be fed on in that household. Who else can deliver the lines "Our son is dead. You weren't there." to Ralph?
Still juice in that lemon.

He didn’t? I got the exact opposite impression. He takes out the picture, folds it, takes it out. They both seem disturbed by it, but don’t want to acknowledge what it means...
