First of all, I want to say that this drama review is just my personal speculation. All speculations may be overturned by the subsequent plot? I hope that interested friends can point out the loopholes and discuss it together?
After the seventh episode of HuLu's release of Ruth's spiritual world, the plot can be said to be gradually unfolding and entering the stage of filling the pit. First of all, I think Ruth is not free to travel in time and space, she can only explore her own memory, and cannot change the established facts that have happened. Whether she actually has Alzheimer's, or it's just this "voice of God" that gives her the ability to explore her memories, she can't change the fact that she failed to protect Henry (packed up but didn't take Henry to escape Castle Rock). Of course, this is mentioned to illustrate the assumption that Simei can not only travel through time and space in the past, but also change the revised timeline.
I haven't read Stephen King's novels, just from an episode perspective. I think Castle Rock is at the center and gathering place of a supernatural force (electromagnetic interference, sound waves, whatever?). This kind of power can interfere with people's consciousness. Of course, this kind of interference is not necessarily negative. It can expand people's consciousness to achieve: 1. Synaesthesia (Molly) 2. Free shuttle in one's own memory world and explore ( Ruth didn't know from the beginning that Molly killed her husband, but found it later by accidentally exploring her own memory world)
3. Evil consciousness expands and enlarges (Simei).
The source of the above-mentioned expanded consciousness is called in the play: The Voice of God (The Voice of God)
And this ability is also what Matthew (the male adoptive father, the word Matthew is the English name of Matthew, one of the 12 disciples of Jesus, just fits his role as a devout believer), but he needs it for some reason. With the help of Henry and the fourth sister to achieve. This is also the relationship between Matthew, Lacy (former Shawshank Prison warden who committed suicide by car in episode 1), Alan (sheriff who was mistakenly killed by Ruth, who helped Lacy put the fourth sister in Shawshank's cage) and the fourth sister, Henry and Molly A point of contradiction.
Not much nonsense? Let's enter the plot speculation analysis of the eighth episode. I think there are two key words in this episode, "kids" and "basement": Henry's son starts to have "tinnitus" in the car and takes the shuttle back to Castle Rock for no reason.
Henry was locked in the basement as a child and was rescued by the fourth sister
The childhood portraits of the fourth sister coincide with the time of Henry's disappearance, both in 1991
The plot of the historian couple murdering and dismembering the body, I think it is just to draw out the sensitive location of "basement", which is useful to promote the development of the plot, but it is not very important for the main plot.
Of course, the last and most important clue is also the explosive ending sentence that affects the entire plot of this episode! !
From these clues, I deduce:
1. Henry was imprisoned in Lacy's basement when he disappeared.
2. The fourth sister met Henry when she was a child and was used by Matthew to discover the secret of the "Voice of God". At the same time, use his ability to change the timeline and travel through time and space to save Henry (the reason why Henry landed in Rock City Lake)
3. Molly once died in a certain timeline, but was rescued by the fourth sister.
Therefore, the entire eighth episode started the pit-filling mode, although it did not directly explain the voice of God, Henry's disappearance and all kinds of doubts about the supernatural ability of the fourth sister. However, through some details and very short character dialogues, it is implied that Henry was kidnapped in the basement by his adoptive father and his group, and Henry and his fourth sister met when he was a child. Tinnitus (tinnitus) occurs only in "children" (Little Black), or has been around since childhood and has continued to this day. (Molly, little black)
Those are some of my speculations and thoughts on the entire eighth episode. If you have better ideas and ideas, you can leave a message and discuss together~
