Episode 3 "Not An Easy Person"
The brothers are on the clock doing some cleanup along the shores of the waters. Arnaud asks his brother, Tonio why he never made his move on Emma since it was pretty obvious he was so in love with Emma. He just replies that he doesn't want to ruin a beautiful thing, their memories. Wait but holy fuck, when Tonio gets in the water, he sees dead cows. Dead ass. Everywhere.
Standing not too far away from shore is the "asshole" from episode 1 who also notices the strange occurrence but as he heads back to the church he sees an unseen Mrs. Chauront who is in the sinners peer things who begs him to absolve her sins. He opens his latptop and says
Camille steps out of the house and sees her nakey mother standing there emotionless, dirtied and bloodied. She doesn't respond to anyone but just marches inside the bathroom and locks it. They call up Inspector Ronan who then tries to talk to her but her mother, Alice, then goes on a guilt trip on how Emma was a shitty daughter that gradually broke her down. In front of everyone. That sucks.
After these somber words her and Camille have a drink by the aqua when she gets a call from Seby who invites them to dinner. In her drunken rant she says (maybe vulgar joking?) that she wants to seduce the married Sebastien.
They get to their door when his wife, Sophie, answers and holy fuck, she has some simularities to her, including her trademark cool girl pixie hair cut.
Oh my lord...is she still drunk?! She's pretty vulgar from the get go from calling Sophie a fat cow (yo, she's preg) to telling Sebastien's step son that he banged his step dad. I think the kid is like 12. I hope the captions were wrong and she didn't actually drop the f bomb to the kid. Oh lordy.
Hmmm okay well probably not because when they all sit at the table, Emma unleashes her wrath on Sophie. Dead ass asking if Sebastien is even the father since he isn't Hugo's father. Sophie snaps some wit back saying she read her teen angst filled article (that Camille recently read last episode) but adds that judging from the vibes she surmises that she would have ended up as a star, alcohol or even both. And excuses herself from the table to fetch dessert.
That went well.
Shit show aside, Sophie realizes that Hugo is now missing. He's no longer in his bed so now Sebastien, Camille and Emma are in the car.
Meanwhile there is some freaky ass imagery of these kids, Hugo included, prowling the streets singing this creepy ass song in a chant:
"Marianne was born on a Tuesday
Happy on a Wednesday
Married on a Thursday
Witch on a Friday
Caught on a Saturday
Judged on a Sunday
Executed on a Monday
Buried on a Tuesday"
Emma tells them to get to the lighthouse. They are met to an extremely morbid scene. Every single one of the kids hung themselves on the swing set.
Holy fuck. That is some beyond disturbing shit. Luckily, they got there in time to save them all. One of the kids walks up to Emma and gives her a hug.
Now it's just Emma and Camille in the car now. Camille has had enough of her shit. Emma drops the bomb that she knew exactly what would happen tonight. Why? You ask? Because she wrote it in her book and whatever she writes becomes a reality. Camille has seemingly reached the end of her rope tonight and cuts ties with her. She drops her off at the house and she drives off.
after returning to the house, she reads the note left by Ronan that says Alice is in good condition just some minor cuts and bruises but otherwise okay.
Camille is seen the next day driving back home, leaving Elden for good. Yeah no, A new book graphic is seen before us is Chapter 5 "Camille's Choice". She calls her own mother and explains to her that Emma is just someone who cannot be helped and feels she is dragging her down with her. She even called her toxic. Ouchies.
The same morning, Emma wakes up in the same couch as her dearest mother who seems back to normal. Alice proclaims that despite her own daughter putting her in all that shit, she still loves her. Words from sweet mother quoting from one of her books, Emma gets an idea!
She heads on over to Daugeron's and with her handy dandy crucifix and holy water in hand, she knocks her out!
Meanwhile Camille pulled over on the side of the road and gets an angry call from the publisher asking "WHAT THE FUCKKKKKK" Apparently, unbeknownst to everyone, Emma ended up publishing new content on her blog FOR FREE. The Audacity! Now he wants to see the pixie cut out of Emma now. That's when she realized that Emma was right all along.
Daugeron is now tied in her home while Emma attempts to exorcise her. New book graphic to Chapter 6 "I Exorcise You!!" She does all the things one might do for your casual exorcism. Throwing holy water and using the cross. Daugeron says some very mean things, her favorite is calling her a "whore". She wacks the crap out of her head and it goes limp.
Did she die?
Sike, she's up and lively more than ever. With some more curses out of her potty mouth. It gets interrupted when Inspector Ronan calls her up and says he found her father. And just like that, she drops everything and goes to the hospital to visit daddy. She asks Inspector how the heck he found him. Well...
He goes inspecting and backtracks through all loops and hoops but in short, he was right there.
She gets back home to a very grisly sight. Steps leading up to her front door is covered in blood. She hesitantly goes up the stairs and sees a bloodbath. The body of her mother. She's been murdered.
While she's sobbing, she hears a maniacal giggle. She staggers up the stairs to see a knife wielding Daugeron sitting covered in blood. She then attacks Daugeron (keep in mind that Caroline's mother is possessed). She continues to choke her to death. This is when Camille makes her grand return and tries the heimlich maneuver on her. Her mouth is agape with smoke coming out of her mouth. Is this implying Marianne has escaped Daugeron's body at last?
We'll find out in Episode 4
