This is my tenth favorite episode. I wouldn't say the ending is much of a twist as you have an idea where it's going with itself. That doesn't make it any less suspenseful, it's suspenseful in a different way because it's like we have an idea that the hammer is going to drop at the end, but we don't know how hard. I also like the format of this episode as it's sort of a story within a story.
We see the person that want to buy the house, on the surface he seems like just a regular customer however we instantly know the guy is untrustworthy and he really doesn't give us any reason to trust him as we know nothing about him and he never states he's reason as to why he wants a rundown house so much.
Sadie is sympathetic, she's really sweet but you sense from her voice and even from some of her physicality she is a deeply sad individual. We get to her flashbacks about her son, we see despite a guy with big dreams in the big city, they have turned into nightmares for him. The story is tragic, despite a good homestead with a good mom, the son just seemed to be at the wrong end of things.
As she goes on with the story we become more and more intrigued because we already know that somehow this story is connected with what's currently going on in the present but without the full story we can't confirm anything, that is until the end which really shows home is where the hurt is.
Rating: 4 stars
