Idk why everyone seemingly hates this episode, it hit hard with me honestly, especially the last few minutes. Sure the easy answer would have been for Kinsey to use an overpowered key against him, but the music box could have been upstairs, where the man who killed their father was. There are perhaps some slight logical flaws and but the character development for Sam was pretty heavy hitting and provided a reasonable driving force for his actions. I ended up feeling for him in the end and it furthered the plot well. Maybe everyone hating on this episode is a superfan of the novel or just a hater in general?

Why on earth didn't Kinsey use the music box key on Sam? Make him blow his brains out, call the cops and that's it.

As of now, I'm pretty sure Kinsey didn't kill and buried her 'Fear', but accidentally her 'Intelligence'.

Using the stupid ghost key was so helpfull instead, since ghosts can't touch stuff or even be seen by the living, as Bode should know from his first ghost trip.

"Oh, somebody broke into our house? But if it's not the well lady, who could it be?" Yes, who would burgle a solitary big azz mansion in the middle of the night? How about A BURGLER?

When did good writing became such a rare artform?

Till this episode the story was going decently well, then out of a sudden, silly narrative started playing as if a disney star wars writer came on board? did the writer run out of ideas or something? why on earth did the sister go to Sam? why didn't she use the music box and key? now the well lady has all of the keys, this episode absolutely ruined it BIG TIME

Ok, so the crazy guy takes the Mother hostage and the kid has a look as a ghost to see what's happening, typically being stupid thinking the mother can hear or sea him, then the kid and girl decide to try and be clever and save the mum...... Thing is, all the girl had to do was use the music box key to control the crazy guy, Sam, into dropping the gun. Job done, easy peasy.... or so you'd think, anyone with half a brain would have done that, especially as the girl had plenty of experience using that key, but no, so they both get caught. Infuriating. Stupid, just plain stupid.... Then Tyler gets the golden key from the hot woman, a key he has no knowledge about but all of a sudden knows that how to use it. Hmm, how's that then. And then, yes, he goes and loses it straight away to the crazy guy who has a bronze jaw. On and on it goes until all but one key is taken.... Are these the dumbest kids on TV or what.

1-take the key, open the college door 2-take the key and the music box 3-tell the bad guy to shoot a bullet in his head. 4-back to home.

So this episode was clearly written to setup some future plot agenda. Unfortunately it was written so poorly it only manages to infuriate the watcher as the whole Locke family became morons to make it happen. They could have found better ways to have Dodge end up with the keys that made sense.

This episode was just garbage. They fail to say how Sam got from the west coast to the north east coast so fast! They have the oldest son get the key to anywhere back from Dodge but they fail to show how Sam got the key from him for Dodge to get it back! The mother watches Dodge walk into her home, attack her son & just take the gun from her! As I said, it's garbage, jumped the shark Becky the writer had a brain fart of something!! This episode should have never existed!

I'm completing dumbfounded as to how this episode has such a high rating. How? The show was going pretty well thus far and then we got this lump of garbage of an episode. The entire family were filled with idiotic ideas throughout.

Why did Tyler find the key on Dodge and then show it to her, like wtf did he think was gonna happen?

Why turn into a ghost, see the killer and then turn yourself over to him? You knew where he was, and he didn't know where you were, why?

Why when you see your fears monster self kicking do you run and leave him there with the gun and the keys instead of taking either away?

Why not use the music box key? Did the writers forget about that one?

Why have the killer at gunpoint outside of his body and still not take the keys from him? Why not either shoot him in that moment or you know, take all the damn keys?

Why would the mom be curious about a freaking magic door, and then drop her guard to go look at it while having the man who KILLED HER HUSBAND, and just attacked her family in front of her?

I was prepared to give this show a huge recommendation on my podcast (That Beautiful Life), but this episode ruined that. It is one of the worst piece of narrative crap I've seen in ages, and anyone who can't come to that conclusion has to be just as stupid as the characters make those stupid decisions.

So many scenes that made no sense.

Why didn't she use the music box?

Why didn't she pick up the gun?

Why did the mother look in the opposite direction when the lady came in.

We got into mystery keys and it's magical powers, and then Well lady comes and bitch slap everyone, even a young adult much stronger than her.

Very VERY stupid scene.

This episode made me want to throw my remote at the tv. Hard to tell if the writers went brain dead, or the director did.

There's no less than 3 times that Sam dropped his gun, and one of the Locke family could have picked it up and been done with this forced drama immediately... instead the writer or director drug it out over 60 painful minutes and made every Locke member a complete moron making any person paying attention CRINGE at the tropey suspense scenes.

For instance; Kinsey could have picked the gun up while her fear monster had Sam pinned; nope, she ran away instead. Tyler could have picked it up after knocking it out of his hand; nope, he got burned instead...etc

Then, right after using the Puppet Master key on a bully at school, the kids suddenly forgot they could control people with that key. How about we have Bode use the ghost key to do nothing instead! Kinsey's character was just moronic; and the script (not the actor) is to blame.

Sam could have been dealt with when Tyler got the head key in him... Locke mommy could have done him in with the scissors, but suddenly decided to not go for the head this time.

Watch it - and look for how many times the director/writers force suspense using ridiculous scenarios and decisions... you'll hate it.

I created an account just to be able to vent my disappointment about this garbage episode. Utter and complete trash. I understand the series had to come to a point where Dodge has the keys, but this episode is a complete waste of time getting to it. Everyone decided to become incredibly stupid all of a sudden and make the worst choices ever, while having a huge amount of tools at their disposal. Every twist was lame and the directing choices were worse than amateurish.

I felt like I was watching a Cheesy horror film where the characters are doing stupid crap just to further the plot the writers want to actually happen, rather than writing a reasonable plot to get there.

The daughter was the only intelligent one out of the bunch until she decided to leave the bad guy while he was down with his gun, because why grab the gun when the guy is helpless.

The mom was just stupid, so worried about the past than about the present.

The previous episodes were good, but the one prior to this one was a little dumb, water doesn't rise that much in the time it takes to put down a camera, they should have been at the very least, setting up their equipment like they had been there longer than 45 seconds. But this episode jumped the shark so so badly that it may have ruined the entire series.
