The latest episode of Evil gives a whole new meaning to the term ‘frequent flier woes’. Set against the backdrop of a plane journey riddled with turbulence, viewers are treated to ghostly apparitions, eerie relics, and haunting PA system messages. Read on for a deep dive into Episode 5.
A Family in Turmoil
We start with Kristen and her daughters, despondent after a hospital visit with Andy. As Kristen reassures them that he will be fine, she privately breaks down, haunted by grief. This brief yet poignant scene sets the stage for the unsettling events that follow.
The Unscheduled Exorcism
Meanwhile, Father Jefferies conducts an unsanctioned exorcism on Vicki, leading her to slit her wrists. David and his crew are left to mitigate the church’s liability by seeking legitimate reasons for the exorcism. The tension spikes when Vicki’s husband reveals strange lesions on her back post-exorcism and mentions that she saw Captain LeMeyer, a ghost pilot.
Who is Captain LeMeyer?
This spectral pilot, Captain LeMeyer, is reported to haunt turbulent flights over the Atlantic. His eerie presence is confirmed by Tori, Vicki’s co-worker, who recalls Vicki seeing him before collapsing. The legend adds layers to the episode’s eerie atmosphere.
The Relic Conundrum
In a twist, Vicki was smuggling ancient relics including what seems like a fragment of the true cross. At Father Dominic’s behest, David’s team must return the relic immediately in hopes of freeing Vicki from possession. Their journey leads them through secret Vatican tunnels, only to discover their precious cargo is fake. David splashes it with holy water resulting in it smoking and causing their turbulent plane to stabilize.
Chaos at the Bouchard House
Back home, Kristen’s daughters face an invasion of bats while under the watch of their babysitter Sheryl. Amidst this chaos, they learn that little Timothy is actually their brother— a moment that leaves them greatly unsettled.
A Haunting Flight Home
The episode climaxes as David discovers that while their relic may be fake, the box housing it is not. During a turbulent flight home, he ends up dousing it in holy water causing turbulence to miraculously stop. This harrowing mid-air exorcism echoes throughout as we see the potential deadly impact of meddling with supernatural forces.
