Her horror is internal, spiritual, and exquisitely lonely. This episode explores Maud as a woman desperate for meaning in a world that offers her none, and how that desperation turns her inward, toward Heaven, and then outward with devastating consequences. Spoiler Warning: This episode spoils everything and if you’ve seen it, yes – including the part you’re thinking about. PLEASE LEAVE US A RATING AND REVIEW! It will get you into Heaven!
