How It All Goes Down
Pressia (Sacrifice)
- Pressia wakes up in a room with lawn care items. She must be in a hardware store.
- Oh wait. Nope, she's in the mothers' basement where Bradwell and Partridge are. That's a plus.
- Our Good Mother is finally revealed; once light hits her and makes the glass in her face shimmer, and she has a giant metal cross embedded in her chest.
- Our Good Mother calls the weapons underneath her (Bradwell's weapons) "gifts from the Death who brought us the Pure."
- Gifts? From the Death? Is Bradwell dead?
- Wait, no. There he is, being ushered in by other mothers. Apparently "Death" is how the mothers refer to men.
- Our Good Mother tells Pressia that they saved her and they're aiding Bradwell and Partridge partly because Pressia is female, and partly because Partridge is a Pure.
- They then find out Partridge's true identity, which always seems to set people off.
- Pressia also tells Partridge how she was given the mission to find him and his mother. So we're all on the same page here, good.
- Eventually Our Good Mother agrees to help under one condition: Partridge gives them a sacrifice.
- That is, he gives up his purity. Meaning, he cuts off his pinky. Eek.
- He really doesn't want to do it. He really, really doesn't want to. But he does it because he's awesome.
- Everything's all set, right? Well, everything but that chip lodged in Pressia's neck.
- Bradwell figures out that the chip is still working, so being tracked down by OSR might be problematic going forward.
- Looks like Bradwell needs to put his fake butcher-skills to the test.
- All he needs is a knife, alcohol, and clean rags. Ugh, why is Our Good Mother so gory?
- By the way, Our Good Mother has a child fused in her too. An infant, whose mouth is embedded in Our Good Mother's upper arm.
- Okay, this woman is definitely a symbol of Mary.
