Oh wait, you in the back ah, I see, just stretching.
As sick jokes go, its a pretty good one.
And asClariceepisodes go, this is a pretty good one, too.
Its also one of the most unpleasant, if medical stuff freaks you out.
Or not, as the case may be.
Clarice spends part of the episode intubated and unable to talk.
She spends another part of the episode getting repeatedly electrocuted by defibrillators in attempt tomakeher talk.
(Not that she has any real intel to give up, to Marilyns frustration.)
She actually laughs after she delivers this dark truth, making it even more disturbing to hear.
Childhood trauma, a demanding career with life-and-death stakes: Clarice and Marilyn actually have a lot in common.
Theres an understanding there, at least when theyre not trying to kill each other.
But there is one big difference between Clarice and Marilyn: Clarice has friends.
Thus concludes this stage of the investigation into the so-called River Murders.
Im glad the show crafted this compelling little horror story to emphasize this central conflict.
Heres hoping they keep on turning the screws until something snaps.
