Which they do, to an extent.

The goats, however, didnt just stab a woman to death after a lifetime of abuse.

They check into the motel where Nick had been staying, and its a disaster area.

He spent more time eating the brownies.

And so it goes.

Cops come in, completely unrelated to the crime, and scare the couple half to death.

But this is only half the story.

Theyre not alone at this point, not yet.

Its also brutal for its own sake.

Still, both timelines end the episode with their strongest material.

Returning home from the hospital, Dee Dee carries Gypsy despite her insistence that she can walk.

Its dark and dreary and it dwarfs her tiny frame.

Again, it is not an easy thing to look at.

Contrast it with the final present-day scene.

Its a state of mind, a daydream, and dreams end.
