Last week’s Widow’s Bay double feature took us back to 1702 to illuminate a crucial moment in the island’s early history—then saw Mayor Tom and Wyck set sail with the 350-year-old Richard Warren, hoping that destroying the town’s founder would also destroy its curse. But there are still three episodes of Widow’s Bay left in the season, which is way too early for anything resembling a happy ending. Plus, there’s still plenty of unfinished business to attend to. Like, for instance… Patricia’s Boogeyman trauma, which comes to the forefront in “Your Baggage.” There’s a peaceful, dreamy, almost giddy feeling as Tom, Wyck, and Patricia share a victorious breakfast. Richard Warren is finally gone, and for the moment, it feels like the healing has begun in Widow’s Bay.

Tom arrives home to find a somber Evan waiting for him, eager for answers about the photographs he’s found—which contain proof that his mother, Lauren, did not die in childbirth. But instead of the screaming fight Widow’s Bay viewers might have primed to expect, given the stormy vibes between father and son lately, it turns into a very touching scene.
