Storyline
The timeline shifts between the past and present, at once recounting Ruth's life with Henry as a boy, scenes from previous episodes now through Ruth's point of view, and the Kid's mysterious intrusion into Ruth's house in the present. Ruth recalls Matthew Deaver's first time hearing "the voice of God" and her relationship with Alan Pangborn. Expanding upon a scene from a previous episode, Wendell interprets Ruth's dementia with a VR game, calling Ruth a "timewalker," who must defeat her nemesis, Matthew Deaver in the form of the Kid. Back in the present, Ruth sends Wendell away to protect him. The Kid makes dinner for Ruth, and tells her to eat a sedative. In response, Ruth distracts the Kid by asking him to draw her a bath, does not take the pill, and runs upstairs to find a revolver.

I don't usually write reviews for just an episode but this episode scared me and was so beautifully acted and shot so beautifully! I still have tears running down my face while typing this! Not to be dramatic! But the gorgeous song that end with (On the Nature of Daylight by Max Richter) just tore into me! Some people get older and loose there ability to act but Sissy Spacik is incredible in this episode! She runs the whole thing! And to do a episode like this it's so easy to lose the audience but I was engrossed the whole time holding my breath! Right when they wanted me to then balling my eyes out right when they wanted me too! She deserves a Emmy nomination just for this episode!
