Nora spots a “Page Six” story about new Watcher letters being sent to former Watcher suspects, letters that reached Westfield through a Manhattan processing facility, because of course Dean is sending them. but instead coming up with an elaborate explanation for how she, Theodora, was the Watcher, just so Dean, an idiot she barely knows, can know peace after she is dead. In a moment alone with Nora, Theodora learns that Dean can’t let go of not knowing who the Watcher is, and this supposedly inspires Theodora to spend her final days on this planet not cooing over her granddaughter, bonding with her daughter, performing jazz one more time, etc. I will admit I thought her cancer was a hoax but apparently it’s one of the only things she was telling the truth about.
#The watcher letters trial
Is this Ryan Murphy yelling at us through the screen to prepare us for his failure to bring his series to a satisfying and cohesive conclusion? Probably!ĭean and Nora go visit Theodora, who has been removed from the trial and will likely die soon.
Dean isn’t at her show because they still feel uneasy leaving the kids home alone, and also he feels like a failure for bailing on the house (and I assume losing his job? We never see him go to work again.) Nobody’s made an offer on the Westfield house yet, and meanwhile Dean is making a new suspect wall in the New York apartment because he can’t stop thinking about John Graff, and what if they hired a composite sketch artist, and Nora is like ENOUGH. The art world is simply mad for pottery the color of pizza crust. Her pieces are moving like hotcakes and she’s getting invited to two Basels. Who was living in the basement tunnels? Was John Graff a real person or was he actually a Bill and either way what the hell did he mean when he told Pearl “they’re onto us?” Will it ever matter that the DNA of the Watcher-envelope-licker was a woman? Why did we have to talk about LLCs 10,000 times if they were never going to matter? If Theodora’s entire explanation was, as her daughter says, untrue, who was Little Miss Pigtails and how did she get into the Brannocks’ house? And did she really gaslight Andrew Pierce into believing he’d been Watchered or was he telling the truth or was he lying but for reasons independent of Theodora? I don’t know but perhaps in the act of recapping we will answer some of these important questions for ourselves!Įven though we haven’t seen Nora do much of anything except wrap herself in camel-toned shawls, she is the It Girl of the pottery world. I have a theory that’s not exactly about the mystery but is more of a meta-mystery: Do you think this show was maybe supposed to be eight episodes long and they just … stopped writing it? Because boy do we have a LOT of unsolved mysteries at the end of this series, and that’s before we get to the main event.
