The Outsider episode 2: RoanokeThe pace slows considerably with much of the scenes taking place between two charactersRalph and Terry square off; terry in an orange jumpsuitCrowds gather before the court; video evidence has Terry in another city at the time of the milderTerry is shot by Frankie’s brother; Ralph lands the kill shot on Terry’s killer. Chaotic and brutal sceneTerry tells Ralph he didn’t do it. Bleeds from the neck.Ugly hooded figure watchesRalph is in the hospital with high blood pressure; he’s killed a boyGlory is interviewed by police after learning that her husband is deadMeanwhile a police officer hunts in the woods; receives text to return to work. Something kills and partially eats the wild pig he was huntingRalph is placed on leave and referred to see a trauma therapistPolice officer sucker punched a cohort at a club; established the character as a low lifeMeanwhile, Glory’s youngest daughter sees a bad man in her roomFrankie’s dad kills himselfShadowy figure stands down the block“Dick on the squad”,Jack, returns to the officeRalph finds evidence pointing toward Dayton OHJesse sees the man in their room, again. Leaves wet footprintsRalph sees the therapist; closed off; sees his sonInterviews Terry’s son; evidence is conflictingGlory asks Ralph, how am I supposed to give my kids a normal life? Clear his name, by helping RalphMaitlans lawyer confronts Ralph; arranges a meetingDaughter reveals that Terry got a cut - in Dayton OH. While visiting grandpa; from a male nurse.Ends with the discovery of some dirty clothes in a barn

• Did you like that they killed Terry at the beginning of the second episode?
• What was the point of this second episode? Was it a continuation of episode one? So basically they were all one long episode.
• How do we account for the conflicting evidence? Did Terry do it? If not then who do we think did it?
• Who is Jack, and why was he introduced as an asshole in this character?

Ep.3Police investigate the evidence in the barnRalph visits sons grave; witnesses a fresh grave site?“Tee” returns after giving birth; jack complains about having to workRalph’s wife confronts him for working while on leaveJacks and dick - story goes out of its wayPrison; new character - later revealed to be the male nurse Terry runs intoJack inspects the barn; spooky it’s nighttimeScared by a man standing in the barn; can’t find him; feels several hits to his neck; no visual evidence as to how it happensHas significant rash on neck; painfulInvestigators discuss evidence found at the barn . Fingerprints are interesting; some were of an old person some a younger person - both of the same personThey found a strange goop but can’t identify itRalph decides to identify Maitlans lawyerJesse/ Miya fave aggression from school classmates; expelledRalph meets with defense lawyer and PI; enter HollyRalp; Continues to see a therapistAlec and Ralph fly to meet HollyHolly is on the spectrum? Or just unique? Or moreMale nurse is in prisonHolly, Introduces the idea of a doppelgänger“Ifs the word mocking bird”Ralph messes with HollyA lot happens in a short sequence of scenesJesse is told by the man to warn RalphTo stop the investigation or something very bad is going to happenJesse tells them about the man; looks like daddy; face was messy

• Most intriguing part of this episode is Holly. Do we like her character and what do we think of the two different story lines of Holly and Ralph. Holly is on the spectrum, but is the point that maybe she isn’t? That she has some special gift where a side effect is similar to Autism. Or is this Stephen King’s lazy way of writing a unique character. Book was published in 2018 so he can’t claim ignorance or it being a long time ago. He also had a character like this in “The Dreamcatcher” in which a mentally ill boy had telekenetic powers and was actually an alien. Do we think its Aliens in this story?
• What is that in the barn? It’s Terry’s clothes, but what do we think the clear goop is on the clothes. Why was it just left out like that?
• What happened to Jack? He is clearly infected with something from the Outsider. Is the “alien” an infection that passes from person to person? Then what about the Doppelganger theory proposes. This seems to be most likely, but how does it all fit together.
