Bonkers is quite a good word to use to describe this episode. Your hope that no one would attend the mass would have been futile under normal circumstances as, to answer your question, Easter Vigil, which is held the evening before Easter, is one of the more popular masses of the year. It’s also one of the longer masses of the year as a matter of fact. Now, as has been pointed out before, this show has received some criticisms for having too many extensive monologues. Sheriff Hassan’s monologue in particular received criticism in that a lot of critics felt that it was out of place and that it should have happened earlier and under different circumstances. Though I did see the argument, I was not bothered by it as it was such an engaging and compelling monologue, and I knew that you were really going to love it. I also like how Sarah doesn’t say anything in response to it outside of her voicing her wish that she’s wrong about her suspicions, because really how do you respond to that monologue without sounding like you’re platitudinizing. Leeza is perhaps the character that reflects how I would be in this scenario. She’s probably more devout than I am, but like you say she’s been brought up to be very religious, she believes in her faith quite strongly, and she can clearly see that there is something horribly wrong with all the Shenanigan’s by Mike Flanagan. That image of the Nosferatu wearing the white chasuble is such a striking image as it showcases how deeply perversely blasphemous the whole plan Father Paul and Bev have. When I see that they were planning to poison everyone ala Jonestown and/or Heaven’s Gate, all the very little sympathy that I had for Father Paul went right out the window. You say Father Paul was on your last nerve, me, I was out of nerves. I was so done with him at this episode. Particularly when it was completely apparent that at this point, he was completely cuckoo with bats in his belfry, literally. It was therefore so satisfying when Mildred picked up the gun and put a bullet right in the middle of his thick skull. I don’t think your being dramatic regarding Sheriff Hassan’s son as it was such a profoundly devastating moment. Your right in that it would be quite difficult to dismember Bev to the point that she resembles John Cleese as the Black Knight all in the span of five minutes, but I don’t think anyone would have begrudged Erin if she gave it the old college try. I think you’re probably accurate in what Mike Flanagan said regarding the trauma. I’m so happy to hear you say that this is one of your favorite shows that you’ve ever reacted to. I keep saying it, I was highly anticipating your reactions to this show, and again you keep exceeding every expectation that I had. Your post episode thoughts for this show have been some of my favorite of your many post episode thoughts. I am so looking forward to next week and hear what you have to say about the finale.

yet another great reaction, Jess! can't wait to see the finale with you. In the beginning when you seen umm..what's her name? the Mayor's wife, crying. I thought maybe Father told them about Riley and she was mourning him, while at the same time being interrupted by his dad.. causing an awkward tension in the room? idk if that's right or just my own fan fiction. but every time I rewatch this, that's what I assume.

I had assumed that the mayor’s wife was crying in relation to learning of the poisoning. However, I quite like your idea. I think it’s a valid interpretation, and I could see that being what was happening in that scene.
