I knew the monster was the stepdad and why he was one even before he and the little boy disappeared.
There's a little bit of a cheat to those first few episodes revealed later when the son confronts his mom.
However, although I thought it and then dismissed it and was wrong on the end, she did indeed, sell her little boy out for money.
She was the real monster!
Some people are complaining that the stepdad was the real monster and so why wasn't he being punished. What part are they missing? His career and license are gone. He's going to be sued if not in criminal court (statue of limitations), then in civil court. The rest of his life will be hell as a child molester.
But mom, those bastions of all that is supposed to be good and protective, ignored what, we learn later, her little boy did tell her that day.
She was on edge from the very beginning and so I don't believe she needed to be told - she always knew -she was the biggest monster of all - and that's why it was time for her to pay!
Great acting from the lead actress.
There was nothing about this episode that was hard to understand. Not sure why some people need everything spelled out.
Hopefully, going forward, all the children who need. Everything. Spelled. Out. Realize there will be no monsters or vampires, or fighting robots or shoot 'em ups or crashing cars and go watch a marvel movie or a Blumhouse production, which they'll still whine about, because not enough scares or blood or gore and leave this excellent series to the adults.
