4/5
Bay is, apparently, always going to Widow’s Bay. Even when things seem bucolic and peaceful, it’s only temporary, because eventually any good juju will be undercut by hints of the sinister. Certainly the most sinister thing in this episode is the Sea Hag. Go to Full Review Carissa Pavlica TV Fanatic 2d
