Grotesquerie episode 6 recap: Can the story win us back before the finale?

As a seasoned gamer of the macabre and the strange, I’ve seen my fair share of twists and turns in the realm of horror television. Yet, Grotesquerie has managed to leave me feeling like a mouse in a labyrinth, lost and increasingly frustrated.

Following an extraordinarily energetic fifth installment, Grotesquerie presents viewers with a relatively calm episode 6. It’s not particularly impressive, but it appears to be making an effort to steer the story back on course. At this point, it might be too late for that, but we’re determined to see it through until the end!

In this summary, we’ll be discussing the key points from episode 6 of “Grotesquerie.” If you haven’t seen the recent episode yet, remember that there are spoilers ahead! Hurry and catch up on Hulu first, then come back to read further.

Nurse Redd and Marshall

From my kitchen window, I peer into the night, convinced I’ve glimpsed something unusual. In an instant, a burst of light illuminates the backyard. Was it someone capturing a photo of the detective? Heart pounding, I rush outside, gripping my gun, only to be greeted by Nurse Redd, who’s arrived bearing a bottle of wine as a token of peace.

For quite some time now, it has been clear that Nurse Redd harbors feelings for Marshall, a fact that Lois had previously doubted. However, Redd herself admits to Lois that she was drawn to one of his classes and formed a connection with him. Intriguingly, Redd even considered eloping with Marshall, but he chose to stay with his daughter and Lois. This revelation angers Lois immensely, prompting her to expel Redd from their presence, sternly warning her to keep her distance from her husband in the future.

Sister Megan wakes up

In episode 6, Sister Megan is discovered to be in a coma following an incident where she was shot while attempting to act heroically. Poor Sister Megan! Father Charlie visits her, clearly displeased with Lois for potentially endangering his cherished protegee. He replaces the flowers at her bedside, presumably those from Lois, by tossing them away.

At the end of the episode, Sister Megan reopens her eyes. It seems she’s going to pull through!

The baby milk factory

In a vast storage facility, machines are exploiting women for milk production. The tubes from these machines run towards an area inhabited by several infants. These babies seem healthy and contentedly consume milk from the shackled women. Law enforcement intervenes, liberating them and guiding everyone to safety. As the investigation unfolds, Lois discovers numerous photographs of herself at the crime scene, including a recent one snapped outside her kitchen window.

An unnecessary cliffhanger

In Episode 6, we find ourselves in a suspenseful cliffhanger as Lois shoots her assailant and removes his mask to reveal his identity. However, the audience is left in the dark along with the fading screen, unaware of who it is. At this point in episode 6, it seems that we are no closer to solving these crimes than we were in the very first episode. This drawn-out narrative has led many viewers to question its necessity. It’s clear that the person Lois has apprehended is not the mastermind behind these crimes. Instead, there appears to be another individual involved, and this prolonged mystery is growing increasingly tiring.

I’ve found myself somewhat detached from the FX series. I plan on sticking with it until the finale, just to see where it goes, but my level of enthusiasm isn’t what it used to be. How have you been finding the developments in this universe that seems to emulate American Horror Story?

Grotesquerie episode 7 premieres on Oct. 16 only on FX and the next day on Hulu.
