As a substitute, Will fixes a ukulele for Naomi (Katherine Pittard), a daycare employee, who hesitantly strums “Final Dance” by Donna Summer season. “Perhaps Rain will allow you to maintain it. It’s simply music,” Will suggests. Naomi nervously replies, “Outdoors objects carry religious air pollution.” The lyrics— “Final Dance. Final Probability” — Was the tune selection a wink from the writers?
Will secretly collects DNA from a crying child, then he calls his boss Amanda Wagner (Sonja Sohn) to let her know. However gun-toting teen Finn (Lailah Pruitt) catches him. “You’re not alleged to have that,” she warns. Will spins a narrative about lacking his canine, Betty—true sufficient that Finn lets him off straightforward, even introducing her forbidden pet bunny, Petunia. The cult’s quirks maintain coming as Will learns that Rain permits Finn to hold a gun as a result of she’s a Virgo. Unusual logic, however hey, cults are quirky.

He owns his errors, standing agency regardless of his mom’s fear. Elsewhere, Angie explains to Dr. Seth why she’ll all the time look after Will, just for Seth to remind her, not like his late spouse, Will continues to be alive.

Ike confesses his crimes however initially refuses to assist legislation enforcement breach the cult’s compound. Fellow vet Detective Ormewood bodily confronts him, main Ike to interrupt down and at last spill the intel wanted to avoid wasting Will.
Naomi’s musical kindness got here again to chew her. Her ukulele? Confiscated. Naomi? Dragged away. Will tried to guard Naomi, however Rain and her gloomy cult members turned on him. “He killed a toddler. He’s a killer,” they accuse.

Then, Will finds Quincy’s shallow grave. He’s captured, taken to the barn, and compelled to drink sacred water. The water triggered hallucinations whereby the whole solid disco dances to Donna Summer season’s “Final Dance.” Whereas such a inventive gamble can work in some contexts, this felt contrived and misplaced.
Will’s hallucinatory-up dance additionally hints at a confession of affection for Angie Polaski (Erika Christensen) a plot thread shoved into the story with all of the grace of a last-minute rewrite. Rain’s villainous motives really feel shallow—being in a cult isn’t sufficient purpose for her ruthless actions. And as for the grand rescue? The police present up, infiltrate the Olas Collective with out resistance, and wrap issues up neatly. Too neatly.

Not less than the ultimate scenes, Will and Religion’s reconciliation and his reunion with Betty, supplied one thing real in an in any other case uninspired conclusion. Nevertheless, total “Certainly one of us Now” had potential; the payoff didn’t. This episode was a blended bag, with flashes of promise overshadowed by false storytelling and an unsatisfying decision. Followers deserved higher after the funding within the multi-week arc. Here is hoping the wrap up Rafael Wexford’s story goes higher.
