The story Sandra tells was great. The voice thru the intercom and the shadow Anya sees are creepy and I suppose this will cause a great change in her character and she will stop being cynical about everything and help Ilonka and Keving to learn how JJ walked out of the hospice as a healthy person. Also, finally Ilonka figures out what the number is and finds a book with that symbol on the front cover. Besides, I wish that our Bev had a bigger role in this and all other Flanagan regulars are missing, too. Lastly, I seriously think that it's absurd you have to write an essay to be able to leave a comment on IMDB.

This episode is a prime example of why this show is Flanagan's worst release
SureCommaNot17 December 2023
As many have pointed out, this show is relentlessly amateur. Very silly happenings, often with the most overly dramatic music and unearned gravitas.
The kids play theater for a black and white portion that could have been done well, but doubled down on the campiness instead, and ended with a twist that didn't make sense. All of it culminated in an equally shallow apology (because there are plenty of clearly deplorable things that people claim to "love"--it's not self-authenticating).
Many other Flanagan shows are pure works of art, and I recommend them: Haunting of Bly Manor, Midnight Mass, and Haunting of Hill House.
