The Baby, Ep.8 – The Possession

Before I watched the final episode, I read that it is possible that the creators of the series left before it was completed.  I wish I could find conformation of this as it might explain why the series end up so disjointed in the second half.  

The recap of this episode is going to be extremely brief.  It pretty much did play out like a typical horror movie and it ends in a way that you pretty much would expect.  Afterwards, I’ll give some final thoughts about the series; although you can probably guess my feelings from my previous posts.

It seems like a little bit of time has passed since the last episode; a few days to a week at most.  Bobbi has started to realize that Natasha was right about the reason why Bobbi wanted a baby.  She also realizes that it caused a strain between herself and Sam; which Sam confirms when she tells Bobbi that she realized long ago that Bobbi would never love Sam as much as she would the baby.  Sam also tells Bobbi that she needs to check on Natasha; that Bobbi was so wrapped up in her own issues that she failed to notice something is really wrong with her sister.  

Bobbi goes to Natasha apartment and realizes something is really wrong.  Bobbi sees Nour in the car and goes to talk to her.  Bobbi makes it clear that she now understands that there is something wrong here and that the baby is doing something to Natasha. However, it’s clear that Nour has given up on Natasha and is waiting for the baby to move on to the next woman. And, yes, the rest of the episode plays out like a typical horror movie.  Bobbi tires to help her sister and it doesn’t go well.  Nour goes to help and it doesn’t go well.  Natasha realizes that she’s got to do something and so she takes the baby to the cliff.  

It looks like Natasha is going to jump off the cliff, but Bobbi is able to sort of talk her out of it by letting her know that Natasha is loved.  Nour comes to the cliff and asks to say goodbye the baby.  Nour takes the baby in her arms and jumps off the cliff. Somehow they manage to MISS THE ENTIRE BEACH and end up in the ocean.  As Nour starts to drown she sees Hellen; but Natasha manages to save Nour at the last minute.  The baby sinks.  

Time passes and everyone seem to be in a good place.  Even Natasha is starting to realize that she can both be a person who isn’t interested in having kids, but still be empathetic to her friends who wish to have one. And, as the show ends, we cut to the beach; where the baby has crawled out of the ocean.

So, in the end, what exactly is the baby? Well, as I figured, it isn’t the manifestation of violence.  Nour says she’s figured it out; the baby is something old and powerful…he is the manifestation of the feelings humans have of being unwanted.  I…okay?  I mean, look, it does make sense.  This is a theme that has been running throughout this series.  And we clearly see this with Natasha and how she’s almost treated like a burden by her friends and family.  And we know that her issues steam from her mother abandoning her; which we then find out stemmed from the mother’s own battles with Postpartum Depression (Which, again, is a main theme in the series).  

But if that’s the case, what is the point of episode five? The whole story between Hellen and Nour, take that out and the result of the show is the same. The only reason that story is there is to introduce to a couple of red herrings (the baby is because of violence and the curse).  Violence against women, violence against lesbians, are extremely important topics; topics that deserve their own attention, not just thrown into the mix.  Especially considering the ending.  The baby is alive; which means there’s always the possibility of telling more stories.  This series could have alluded to Helen’s and Nour’s backstory, but saved it for another season.  

In fact, I’m going back to what I said in a previous post; this show should have ended with episode six. Rather the show should have been episodes 1-4 and 6.  The baby still could be the representation of those who felt unloved and unwanted.  But the story itself would have focused on the issue of Postpartum Depression and how it effects families.  Then, once Natasha confronted her past, it makes the baby disappear.  We could have some hints to the baby’s and Nour’s past; we could also have Nour mention why she thinks the baby chose Natasha.  But leave Natasha’s story there. Then, do a second season that deals with the violence towards women.  Tell the story of Nour and Hellen there.  Don’t just throw it in.    

I won’t say I dislike the series as I do think it did come up with a unique way to discuss Postpartum Depression.  However, the addition of serious subjects that are only used for red herrings, leads to too much confusion and, quite frankly, kind of turned me off at the end.

The Baby, Ep.7 – The Curse

I am now watching this show, not necessarily because I enjoy it, but because I’m trying to figure out what in the hell is going on.  Again, I can absolutely see why the critics are saying how this show becomes muddied in the middle because….Well, let’s put it this way, it is very clear after this episode that there is more then one message that they’re trying to do here. And it’s not working.

The recap is going to brief. Bobbi meets up with Sam for this audition for a show, I guess?  Bobbi tells Sam that they’re going to have to wait six months to adopt.  And it’s not that Sam isn’t sympathetic toward Bobbi, but it’s also clear Sam isn’t really concerned about waiting six months.  It’s clear that Sam is more concerned about the audition.  Long story short, Bobbi breaks up with Sam during the middle of the audition.

Natasha take Nour and the baby back to the apartment.  Natasha believes Nour should be in a hospital, but Nour refuses.  Nour believes that it’s the curse that has created the baby and she needs to find Jack to end it.  Natasha gets a call from her dad and because he doesn’t need her to do his shopping anymore, feels like she’s needed even less by the people she loves; which kind of makes her bond more with the baby.  

Skipping ahead a bit, Natasha finds that Jack is in the hospital.  Natasha tells Nour they’re going to rest tonight and go see them in the morning.  As soon as Natasha falls asleep, Nour leaves the apartment with the baby (who suddenly is cool with the woman trying to kill him taking him anywhere).  They go to the hospital and Nour takes a can of gasoline with them.  We see that Jack has actually remarried and had several children.  They all leave for the night and Nour goes inside with the baby.  She starts to pour gas on Jack as she tells him she’s here with his son.

Jack, at first, denies the baby is his and says that Hellen drowned with the baby (is it possible this is true?).  Then, he says there was something always wrong with that baby because Hellen didn’t love him.  He then rips off his oxygen tube and starts to strangle Nour.  But he’s not able to kill her, as the baby kills him.  

While this is going on, Natasha has a dream of a younger Nour.  Natasha wakes up, realizes that everyone else is gone, and rushes to the hospital.  She gets there just in time to make sure Nour can’t set the lifeless body of Jack and herself on fire.

Natasha takes the baby. Then, she tells Nour that she’s figured out why the baby is the way he is.  He is not the physical manifestation of Postpartum Depression; it isn’t because of a curse; the baby is violent because of a violent world.  He chooses the women, women who don’t want children, to be his mother as they remind them of his mother.  And, to defeat him, the best thing to do is give him what he wants.  Nour says that won’t end this.  But Natasha doesn’t listen and takes the baby away.

Ok, so they’re saying that the baby is the way he is because of the violence in the world.  Going back to the baby’s origin, we do see a lot of violence and hatred.  You have the violence and hatred shown against lesbians.  You have Helen being kidnapped, imprisoned, drugged, and her being forced to carry and deliver a child.  You have Helen’s escape, where she kills the brother’s wife and nearly kills Jack. Even when Nour confronts Jack, there are threats of violence (although Nour’s where coming from a place of defense, while Jack’s are clearly threating the safety of others).  So, yes, maybe the baby is a manifestation of the violence in his life.  

But, if that’s the case, why wait until halfway through the series to bring this up?  Or rather…the is what I mean by muddied.  Look, the baby definitely has a violent streak.  We know the baby killed other people then the women he chose to be his mother, but it isn’t like some random pattern.  Like it’s not violence for the sake of violence (which would make sense if he where the manifestation of violence).  It only happens when someone threatens to take him away from his surrogate or if his surrogate tries to leave him.  Which means it’s probably something else.  Which is normal in the horror genre it’s just that…well the series relied so heavily on the subject of Postpartum Depression, that if it doesn’t play into the ending…why focuses so much of the first six episodes on this one topic, if you’re explanation for the baby is going to rely on something different?  But if Natasha is wrong and the baby is the manifestation of Postpartum Depression, then why was that subject more or less dropped from this episode?  Or rather, it’s like episode five where there are things that could maybe represent Postpartum or they may represent violence.
