Reverend Milton is a fraud. Amily discovers an old infomercial where he preaches about religion. She also recounts how he conned her mother out of her money. The crowd outside Clark’s house, which was sparse in the previous episode, has grown to become a mob. ..
Tom and Amily make their way to the office, where Mohsin and Wendy have a strange conversation about how “failure has never really been an option for them” (because they’re immigrants). All this is done because Mohsin cannot solve a Rubik’s cube. Tom, for the first time in his relationship with Amily, apologizes to him and professes a need to change. He believes Clark is holy and that seeing him glow made him realize how pathetic he was. Tom seeks his help to become a better man. His “purpose”, is to follow Clark. To prove his dedication, Tom offers to become Clark’s bodyguard.
Clark’s father apologizes over text and reinstates the “pleasurable sauna” privileges. However, Clark has brought Milton along with him to “help.” The standard insults and threats flow from the former’s side to the latter. So what he does is that he starts glowing to prove his point. Milton is unmoved. ..
The threats continue. He waltzes out promising to “bring him down”. Back at the office, Mohsin and Wendy share a great moment. It seems like the two will start to get romantically involved. Chamuel returns in the episode. Like all angels from the sky, he can’t be seen by others.
The first surprise in this episode is that Frisbee is actually an angel. This makes sense because he never shouts, never reacts, and always has a positive energy about him. If this describes you, congratulations! You are an angel. Chamuel has actually come to announce that She is here: Satan.
The Episode Review
The more episodes I watch, the more I cry for the money that was killed to make this project, like Mr. Wonderful. The dialogue is cringe, dated, and aggressively offensive to our intellect. “That doesn’t make any sense” is right. This is the standard reaction I had almost after every sequence in this episode. ‘God’s Favorite Idiot’ has fallen flat on its face until now.
The three episodes of “Stranger Things” have been frustratingly aimless and directionless. It seems like the writers are just throwing things at the viewer without any real plan or purpose. I would love to hear what you think about the show, because I feel like I am not getting what it is supposed to be about.
I am not sure if there is a light at the end of this tunnel, or if we are just going through the motions.
