We've witnessed the slowest burn for six weeks and it all leads to this episode.
Everything comes full circle, and we finally understand what is happening inside the mansion of Crellins including what happened to the poor Marian. I don't wanna spoil anything but the scene between Camille (Amy Adams) and John (Taylor John Smith) at the bar is the highlight of this episode. The tension between two characters who have the same history of losing their sisters; oh man, this scene alone solved the paradox of John being a killer or not. The best thing about this episode is that even though the secrets are starting to reveal, the director avoid all the clichés of horror/thriller shows and films (like relying on suspenseful music, running in terror to save someone's lives, etc.) instead the creators make it simple without losing the tone of the show.
We have seen the cynical, stubborn, surly sides of Camille during the previous episodes but in this episode, we learn that she is still vulnerable and fragile like all of us after all that she's been through. We will see our Amy sweeping Golden Globe, SAG, Critics Choice and next year Emmy for her incredible performance as our unlikable protagonist, Camille Preaker.
The acting skills of all the major supporting actors (e.g. Chris Messina) and actresses (e.g. Elizabeth Perkins who finally got some scenes to shine in this episode) should not be forgotten espeically the flawlessly subtle performance by Patricia Clarkson. By the way, keep your eyes on young talents like Eliza Scanlen and Taylor John Smith; they are gonna be the next big things in Hollywood if they continue choosing the ambitious projects like Sharp Objects.
Hands down, this is the best episode of Sharp Objects so far and hope the series finale will be as amazing and thrilling as this one.
