Feh. This show has taken every wrong turn imaginable in the last couple episodes. Kit, Alma and Grace we find living in domestic tranquility with no attempt to bridge that with the previous episode. Then, after Alma encourages Kit to pay more attention to Grace, she suddenly develops an insatiable desire to chop her up with an ax. I guess, in the mind of the writer, everyone is a potential ax-murderer.
Lana on a book tour for her smash success book, finds herself taunted by visions of her serial- killer rapist baby-daddy and her lover, who left Lana to rot and who was killed by said serial killer, and yet in Lana's mind they are now in league because she feels soooo guilty about embellishing her book and covering up her lover's homosexuality (which they were covering up when they were together, anyway, because they didn't want to commit career-suicide by outing themselves. Duh!). Yeah, right. And she's hallucinating all this, so I guess she really was nuts all along.
Jude imagines the new inmate as the angel of death coming to get her, but no, another hallucination. While she's also hallucinated that the last 3-4 years didn't happen. Pointless filler.
Alma is shipped off to the now extremely infamous Briarcliff, and Kit has nothing to say about it. And then she just dies of natural causes (unless we learn otherwise in the last episode). Naturally, when Kit is there as a visitor, he gets to walk around among all the inmates so he finds Jude sitting at the jukebox.
Pepper is unceremoniously killed off off-screen, the writers obviously too bored with it all to bother tying loose ends, anymore. And the Santa killers fate is similarly left to the imagination. All we know is that he continued a killing spree of nuns around the country and is the topic of Lana's next book. Pfft.
Another scene with neo-Bloodyface expositing his hatred of his mother. I know! This is not new information! Are we to be surprised that he intends to kill her, or has that point been driven home in every episode since he's appeared? No, it's just more padding.
The word for it is FUBAR. Next weeks episode will either be the greatest comeback in television history, fitting all the wildly disparate pieces together, or the least necessary season finale in television history.
