Its nice when you figure out that something really was worth waiting for, isnt it?

Okay, well, its less an actual bang and more a silent mouthing of the lettersWTF.

Because guess what, gang: Our assessors are spending the entire episode at a silent monastery.

Almost the entire episode is done without dialogue!

Anyway, there is another thing this monastery takes very seriously: the patriarchy!

S Is for Silence is a ride, is what Im saying.

Almost immediately, Kristen calls bullshit.

So whats Davids deal in this episode?

Not surprisingly, hes the only one really defending what the monks are doing here.

He wants his colleagues to take this vow seriously.

As he studies the cabinet, hes interrupted by his guide monk, Winston.

Winston hands David one of Father Thomass crucifixes to keep and tells David he needs to quiet his mind.

To do this, David heads to prayers with the monks.

Mostly, hes thinking about how hard it is not to think.

Hes thinking, all I have to do is not think about a monk throwing up for five minutes.

And once hes imagining red lips being licked, he gives up for the day.

Its why this life, while insane to most people, is admittedly tempting for David.

As has become more apparent throughout the series, David is not a man at peace.

She is bearing all five stigmata marks.

I dont know why any of them erase WTF from their Magic Slates because it is always appropriate.

Seriously, what is happening in this place?

A real five-star set up here, folks.

in its general direction.

Well, now shes done it.

The cabinet in Father Thomass room flies open and something seems to be let out.

Not long after, the monks are in a tizzy.

This whole sequence is so wild.

Luckily for them, they have an exorcist on hand.

Guess who it is, friends.

Father Mulvehill!Thisis where hes been on sabbatical after his gambling issue.

He tends to Fenna, who seems to have the worst of it.

And then a whole bunch of flies bust out of her stomach.

It is so, so fucked up, you guys.

Its the botfly, friends.

The botfly, prevalent in upstate New York, buries its larvae in human flesh where it can grow.

Now we are all that monk who threw up in the chapel.

Theres evidence they were in the cabinet in his room as well.

Still, the botflies dont exactly explain all of Fennas stigmata wounds.

These Evil excursions out of town ghost farms, silent monasteries are always a realtime, arent they?

Again, truly wild how much comedy is in this episode.

David replies that God needs him to do his work out there.

Katja Herbers screaming THIS PLACE IS SO FUCKING ANTI-WOMEN is some real food for the soul.

A skeleton coming to life and picking its teeth with its scythe?
