One of the most unsettling scenes in the shows history follows on the Youngs lawn.
Marty arrives at the same time as Jacob and Darlene, and what if he didnt?
What were Jacob and Darlene willing to do at that moment?
What would they have revealed or threatened to do?
As Jacob says, All you got sounds about right.
Theres little time for the Byrde kids to be, you know, normal kids.
It feels likeno onehas ever said something like that to Russ Langmore.
Its a balance between using him and maybe starting to care about him, too.
Wendy has an idea, and its name is Sam Dermody.
None of this may matter because Mason is still fighting to take down the cross on his in-construction church.
Hes so unhappy that Marty is forced to drop the truth bomb on him.

They will kill Mason and Grace if they come off the lake.
The episode intensifies when Marty and Wendy discover that Charlotte and Wyatt skipped school.
They race to the Langmore compound and discover that Wyatt helped Charlotte attempt to get back to Chicago.
She will have to transfer in St. Louis.
Maybe they can catch her.
Wendy and Ruth race off to the city while Marty borrows the Beast to go woo Eugenia Dermody.
Its the first scene, really, wherein Ruth feels almost like a member of the Byrde family.
Its a family that will alternately welcome her and betray her in the future.
Mason Young comes to talk to the Snells.
And he does so during a big drug-dealer pig-roast party happening on their estate.
And then Mason insists that the Snells stop using his flock to traffic.
Jacob asks why and argues thateveryoneshould be considered equal in Gods and Masons eyes.
Dont the dealers deserve a little religion, too?
Who is it hurting?
Hes the Eastern bluebird, about to be destroyed by the invading species.
Eugenia and Sam are fighting over that hideous painting.
Shes clearly an awful person who has held her son back whenever she can.
She goes off, insisting that they get the money back, and Sam fires her.
She should have put it on the lakeside.
As Mason burns his church and Darlene itches to kill Marty before someone else does, a fight brews.
Wendy thinks the kids should maybe go back to Chicago on their own and stay with friends.
Any of us run, were dead, says Marty, but Wendy already feels dead.
The fight builds as the scene cuts to Charlotte struggling during a night swim.
As Marty and Wendy exorcise marital demons, it looks as though their daughter might drown.
Charlotte goes under, her feet touching the lake floor.
She pushes up, breaks the surface, and gasps for air.
Will the series end with Charlotte Byrde visiting her father behind bars?
It almost looks as if shewantsto commit violence.
