Dorothy lastly is aware of the reality. But what’s she going to do about it now?
After final week’s wild penultimate episode of Servant, Dorothy was woke up from her delusion and trauma when Sean and Julian compelled her to recollect what had occurred to the actual Jericho. But when the supernaturally gifted Leanne gives her the final word Faustian discount — she’ll deliver Jericho again to life for actual this time if she will stick with them — Dorothy is surprised to silence.
At the highest of Friday’s sequence finale, Dorothy asks for a second alone with Leanne. She asks the nanny: “What are you?” Leanne responds: “It doesn’t matter. I’m yours.” (I want to argue that after 4 slow-burning seasons, IT SO DOES MATTER. But OK.)
Leanne heads to the roof and considers throwing herself off the constructing, however Dorothy stops her. “It was the kindest thing anyone has ever done for me,” Dorothy says by way of tears. “I would’ve given anything to have had him for one more minute, and you gave me months with him. But this pain that I feel now. That’s part of my love for him too. I need to feel it.”
Leanne asks Dorothy if she’s evil, however Dorothy assures her she isn’t. Leanne counters, admitting that when the fireplace burned down her childhood house, she heard her dad and mom screaming, however she didn’t do something to assist them. “For the first time in my life I was happy because I wanted them to die,” she says. Then, Uncle George introduced her again, although “I didn’t deserve it.”
Dorothy tells her that she would’ve been so proud to have a daughter like Leanne, because the storm round them worsens. The complete time they’re speaking, three cult members lurk outdoors within the rain.
As the Turners prep to flee the flooding, they settle for Leanne again into their household. But out by the entrance stoop, Leanne says she has to get one thing Uncle George left for her. She goes inside and pulls the knife out of the lifeless George’s eyeball. She douses the place in gasoline, climbs the windy stairs and drops a lit match to the bottom ground. The very first thing to gentle up is the doll.
She lays in her mattress and calls Tobe, making a date with him she is aware of won’t ever occur. Her mushy smile is completely heartbreaking… as a result of we all know at this level that Leanne’s by no means leaving the brownstone. Outside, the cult members inform the Turners that Leanne had to do that on her personal. They tried to conquer her earlier than, however she has chosen “to save us all.”
Inside, Leanne places on a document and dances earlier than pouring fragrance in her eyes (ouch) and slicing her arms open. (Weird tune selection right here, in my view. The tune is “Somewhere in the Wild” by Saleka and I can’t say I’m a fan of its placement right here. Especially in such an emotionally pivotal second.) Leanne swirls round as the fireplace reaches the highest ground. She begins to burn as the ground collapses below her.
The subsequent morning, Dorothy is reunited with the officer who was there the day her son died. Officer Reyes tells her a narrative about how she died in a automobile wreck. The cult revived her and gave her the duty of watching over considered one of their sisters… Leanne.
It wouldn’t be an M. Night Shyamalan undertaking with out one final WTF second. Reyes goes to talk with Julian a while within the close to future. She reminds him of his overdose from Season 2. She is aware of Leanne revived him. “When you’re given a second chance, it’s for a purpose,” she says. “We’ll be here when you’re ready to talk. We’re family now.” Julian appears to be like on in horror as cult members all around the avenue flip his approach. When he appears to be like at his reflection in a retailer window, a pair of wings seem along with his reflection. He turns round to see a mural of a chook and a worm painted on a constructing behind him. Is he, too, a fallen angel now? Will he finally be part of the Church of the Lesser Saints? He then utters the sequence’ remaining two phrases: “Oh, s–t.”
