When Tic finds out what Montrose did to Yahima, his reaction is swift and brutal. But the matter of Montrose’s sexuality, particularly given the character’s anger, and how LGBTQIA+ identity has been historically seen and dealt with (or not dealt with) within the Black community, is worthy as the primary discussion for the episode.
In true Lovecraft Country fashion, there’s a lot happening in the mid-season episode, including Leti (Jurnee Smollett) and Tic’s efforts to translate pages from the Book of Names, and Ruby’s (Wunmi Mosaku) metamorphosis into a white woman and deepening relationship with William (Jordan Patrick Smith).
