The darkest, and goriest episode, not easy to watch

Perhaps almost being killed may cause Lisey's eyes to be opened. Sadly, that was still to be determined following Lisey's Story Season 1 Episode 4. That's because while Lisey accepted Scott's weirdness, she has repressed memories about conversations and events connected to it, for her own sanity. Only now insanity reigned all around her. It wasn't just Scott anymore, or her mentally ill sister Amanda. Her biggest problem lately was Jim Dooley, Scott's psychotic superfan. Lisey was discovering that Hamlet nailed it: "There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy." Scott's Bool hunt had been causing Lisey to open her mind. But that has been something fun, a way to stay in touch with Scott with the prize possibly being something that could help the catatonic Amanda. There is nothing enjoyable about Dooley. He's dangerous strange, not kooky strange. Dana DeHaan has been mesmerizing as Dooley. He's courteous and soft-spoken one minute, then explosively violent the next. Part of that was that the police gave little credence to Dooley. Also, Scott always had downplayed his crazy fans. Mostly though, Lisey was wrapped up in her own stuff, between dealing with the reminders of Scott and the sister drama with Darla and the institutionalized Amanda. The self-important Dooley frequently had been laughed at during his life so he was hypersensitive to what he perceived as Lisey's disrespect. The plastic bag Dooley pulled over her head should have been enough to convince Lisey to take him seriously. Another storyline that remained largely shrouded in mystery is Scott's childhood. Their father appeared to love them, but he bled Paul and tried to keep Scott from being gone. Paul is dead but how did that occur? What happened to Paul's father? Boo'ya Moon was something of a refuge for the Landons. But Scott said it's populated by broken people. Does that include him and Amanda?

After a terrifying experience, Lisey opens up the gates of her memory to find answers in Scott's world of Boo'ya Moon.
