Continuing in the Farm, Ed is basically doing stuff to preserve Evelyn’s corpse, and Adeleine is trying to get the attention of Mrs. Gein. She turns her around in her chair to see the rotting corpse, running out in terror. Ed starts going after her, and she gets back to her house. Ed gets in via the storm doors outside, and they start talking. Adeliene gives Ed an ultimatum: no more lies, tell the truth, or we’re done, and he starts telling her. She is okay with the whole thing, and then Eddie is back to work on Evelyn at his home. At a hardware store, Ed purchases some more lime and takes an interest in the woman, Bernice, working there, who is extremely upset about how things are for her right now, offering to take her out for supper.
At the diner, Bernice tells Ed he reminds her of a man she was madly in love with named Bert, who moved in with her, much to the dismay of Bert’s wife, who killed herself. Ed and Bernice hit it off, and do the couples skate together, and go to Bernice’s house, and have some fun. After that, Bernice talks to Eddie about moving in, and Eddie talks about how he might be in love with another woman, too. Back at his house, and talks to his mother about moving in with Bernice, and after some guilt tripping, she tells him to just go since he already broke her heart, and tells him about her venereal disease, and how she’s the town whore. Eddie goes to the hardware store with his gun, and he and Bernice have a heated discussion in the back of the store. After having Bernice give him one of the guns to look at, he shoots her when she’s not looking and starts taking her body.


Two strangers are seen wandering the woods at night, and they come across the barn at Ed’s house, and run into him before a chainsaw begins revving. Ed then goes to Adeleine to show him the bad thing he did, and she doesn’t seem the least bit disturbed by it, even taking a photo, before cutting to Texas in 1959. At a family dinner, the kid asks Uncle Bill about knowing Ed Gein (the boogeyman). In 1968, Tobe Hooper. starts talking about his inspiration to make the Texas Chainsaw Massacre movie to his roommates, and how he wants to shock the whole world with the film, and we go to the movie being made in 1973. Again, we have the parallels between the Texas Chainsaw Massacre scene and Ed chasing after the lost men and killing them with a chainsaw.
Once again, we have more connections to the people who drew inspiration for their horror creations from Ed Gein (in this case, Tobe Hooper for Texas Chainsaw Massacre). The episode is around the same as the last one in terms of rating, as it didn’t do stuff that was exceedingly better than the last episode, but also wasn’t a downgrade.
Rating 8/10
