Holy balls, was this episode creepy. How about Sheriff Underlay convincing his deputy to saw off his own arm in the name of God?
At least we’re starting to get some answers. Other than giving the show the requisite shot of racial diversity, Pria and Healy (not their real names) did provide some interesting information. The creatures have tried to invade before in Brazil and Cuba, but it didn’t take and the “survivors” ended up committing suicide. But things are different here in Florida, and no one knows why.
Also, the deputy’s abduction gave us a good look at the creatures in the water. Since he “grew” a new arm and we’ve now seen Mariel’s dead body as well as the Sheriff’s bones, I’m guessing that the creatures use the captured human’s DNA to grow a new body for the aliens to inhabit. I’m still trying to figure out how this relates to the creature/man that Russell and Dave tracked from the water to his home in the Everglades.
