“Rubber Man”

Episode 8 had a lot of things happening, and many of them dealt with a suit of black latex.

We discovered that it was not Ben who put on the rubber suit and had sex with Vivien. We discovered that it was Tate, which makes more sense on why Vivien’s babies might, I don’t know, have hooves, as the nurse seemed to believe.

We learned more about the gay couple, Chad and Patrick, who were previous owners of the house involved in the murder/suicide, which was not actually a murder/suicide. They were killed by Tate as well. Tate killed them when they stopped looking to adopt a child. Tate was trying to get a child for Nora.

Tate and Violet had sex and he worried that Vivien was going to take her away because she was leaving the house. Vivien accidentally shoots Ben when she is afraid of the spirits in the house. Hayden is manipulating the situation, trying to torment and drive Vivien crazy. Ben seems to be buying it, not believing what Vivien is seeing.

This is really the step of the series where Tate becomes less of a romantic and tragic figure and shown more as a sociopathic killer.
