Flashbacks often lead to some of the best episodes of shows, and that was true here. Maybe not the best, but it definitely righted the ship after it had gotten a little mental the last few episodes.

Nothing good is ever created out of hatred and vengeance. It is like a self-consuming poison. The Baby was born from a mother who was denied freedom, was subjected to abuse, and who was encapsulating enormous hatred and despise. Episode 5, for the very first time, puts some light upon how the horrifying string of events were kick-started and who was the woman who gave birth to the evil baby. Helen McGregor was married to Jack, who belonged to a well-to-do family. Jack's father had been diagnosed with bowel cancer, and he told everybody that he had less than a year to live. At the dinner, when they were having this conversation, Helen took a call. The woman on the other side was telling her that she would pick her up at midnight that very day. Helen tells everybody that it was Heather who asked her to attend an event on Sunday. But in reality, it was Nour, Helen's lover. Jack's heart was shattered after getting to know about his father's health, and he desperately wanted to have a baby. He wanted his father to find some happiness before he left them. He asked Helen, but she didn't want to have one with him. She wanted to leave him and live with Nour. In the middle of the night, Helen escapes with Nour, who was waiting for her round the corner. Helen is relieved to see her. She feels liberated. The couple go to the same cottage, beneath the cliff, where Natasha had come to live in Episode 1. Helen tells Nour that she had inherited the cottage from her maiden aunt, Miss Lizzie Eaves. Helen goes to Nour's place to stay, but it wasn't going to be as easy as they had imagined. Jack was an influential man, and he had informed the authorities that his wife was missing. Helen used to work in a library, and she really needed the job. But it was a "family library", and Heather, who was in-charge of the library tells Helen that such a gross violation of ethics and values was not going to be entertained. Helen wakes up all of a sudden to find the baby in her bedroom, in the cabin. She didn't know how he came all the way there. She storms out of the house in disbelief. Nour wakes up too and sees the baby crying. She goes to find Helen, but she is a bit too late. Helen had jumped into the sea and, in all probability, ended her life. Nour comes back to the cabin and finds that the baby has vanished into thin air. The upcoming episodes would shed more light on what Natasha's plan of action would be and whether she would survive the wrath of the evil baby or not.
An Abortion Rights Theme?

Are we being set up? Is the baby killing people because the poor mother was prevented from aborting him? Or is the moral of the story that the children of lesbian mothers are doomed to bring misery into the lives of others? That's way-y-y to much to place upon a kid. This is a sad but irresistibly awful horror series.
