After Liz’s Christmas Eve was ruined she continued her research again. She was closely looking the last video of Annie. She felt a little connection at the end which is fit with the ending part of the video of the Tsalal research facility. Both videos have a sudden Power cut at the same time leading to a big clue. She remembered that Oliver was the equipment engineer of the facility so he must be known about the power supply in the cave. She called Navarro who must be Oliver who also declined to met with them. As she became drunken, she requested Peter to join with Navarro. Peter’s Christmas party is ruined as he & Navarro go to met with Oliver.
Reaching there, they found no one inside the house. But they found nothing but a stone & cardboard with the same eerie spiral symbol. It looks like he must know something big & after Hearing about Annie’s death ,he leaves his house.
Liz slowly achieving the power of watching unnatural things. She saw the same one-eyed Polar Bear that Navarro saw earlier. After that she got visions of her dead child Holden. Later Navarro joined her & found that same toy polar bear. Taking it on hand she also got the same earlier visions of Holden. She also informed that her sister Jules also died by walking down to the sea without any clothes. Jules have schizophrenia a bipolar disorder coming from her mother. As Jules dies, Navarro thinks she is also gonna die the same way. She thinks she got a curse from her mother as they all saw dead people & they followed them until they encountered death.
Right after that moment, Liz got a call from Peter saying that some fishermen spotted something near the Dredge. They saw a man with a Yellow Parka coat. Liz & Navarro went there to find any clue . With an eerie ambiance inside the dredge, they found a big spiral symbol. Right then, Liz saw a man running from inside, she started to capture him but Navarro got stuck as she saw a female dead body inside the water channel of Dredge. They both became separated.
Liz successfully captured the guy, he wasn’t Clark instead he is Otis. As he got the the same coat . Questioning her she didn’t get lots of clues. Otis said, ” He’s gone… He went back down to hide”. She asked again where she hide. He finally answered that Clark is hiding in the ” Night Country”. He also added that everyone is now entered into the Night Country.
Navarro watching a female footsteps inside the Dredge. All she found a big Christmas tree with sinister music. At that moment we got a jump-scaring scene while she move back,she watched the dead body of her sister screaming in front of her. Watching their sister’s dead Body, Navarro became stuck. When Liz came to met with her found that she is sitting on the floor & her ear is bleeding.
Not too many clues we found in this episode. But this episode turned into a real horrific thriller. Sudden jumpscares give us chill literally. ” Night Country” that Otis referred is must be a world of dead people & it’s now slowly collapsing with the real world. Looks like Navarro got the flashes of the Dead world & also Raymond Clark too went to find her love ” Annie” in the ” night country”. A little boring but some spicy horrific Ingredients make this episode a little more interesting. We really waiting to see what gonna happen in the next episode.
