Kinda unfortunate everyone in the room ended up “infected” with that weird face on their neck, I thought it was just the mom who actually deserved it but maybe there’s something I’m not getting, at least the dead son looked at peace tho.

I thought the setup was interesting, but just like the last one, it kinda fell flat imo, I wanted to know more about what happened to the son and why everyone got infected but it’s just another one of those times where the short runtime hurts the story.

Another wtf.

So let me get this straight: the guy got possessed because his mom opened a well looking for her husband's hidden wealth. This female ghost turned into a talking rash with a face. They finally exorcised it and the mom was acting shady, clearly she knew something was up. So then everyone there got a talking rash on their neck. I think the last one was the guy who got exorcised.

Why did everyone get a sentient rash? How many ghosts were in that well? Why did the woman's husband put his riches in a well instead of a secret bank account? Is it a murder well? Does Sadako live in it?

The season's theme is taking things / stealing, so I guess the mom was trying to steal her son's inheritance? Which was in a murder well?

No idea what this was all about but Ia think I see a pattern of budhist themes.

The wish-stone to let go desires, the little hands that stole things, the ghost who kill those who could not abandon their obsessions, and now a story about grudges.

@towelgirl21 Not stealing. Letting wordly obsessions go. It is a budhist theme but in a macabre way I think.

While this isn't the best episode of the season so far, I do think I prefer this to episodes like Defense Attorney, Crane, and especially Lies and Truth. At the very least with this one, we know most of the reasoning behind why the plot happened. The mom was up to some shady shit that got her son cursed and in turn, got everyone else cursed.

While I'm not 100% sure why everyone had to take the curse when it was only the mom who was 100% in the wrong, if I had to guess, either the guy who exorcised the demon had his own nefarious sort of agenda, or he grouped all of the friends and family in attendance with her.

A lot of the episodes in this season in particular do kinda feel like they're building up to potential sequels, but maybe I'm just being hopeful since we've been getting "continuation" episodes in the last 2 seasons. If that were to be the case, then maybe they could be cooking with some of these episodes, but as of now, they just feel unfinished and generally bad.

At this point I'm just holding out hope that the season finale will at least be good like the last one was.

Ok, a bit of a twist but a somewhat expected one. What a vindictive Monk though!

@TheColonel76 Yeah, 4 minutes is not enough time for this story. 8 or even 12 are required.

@Sheol01 Something around there for sure, I think even an extra 2 minutes would really benefit

The flashback when he gives that stare after his friend said he didn't want to die just made me think of this.

So at the end the monk did the worst possible job he could based on the results, no?

Okay, this has been one of my favorite episodes of the season. I expected the mother to go through something similar to the son, but not that the same thing would happen to everyone there at the same time. It gave me chills.
