Real Minishow Ep. 87 - Were they still planning to be together?

This week, we continue our Mike Flanagan Rewind series with Episode 7 of The Haunting of Bly Manor.

In this episode, we uncover the dark truth behind Peter and Rebecca’s tragic fate at Bly Manor. Through flashbacks, Peter learns the rules of being a ghost: he can briefly possess the living—and, with an invitation, take over a body permanently. But every spirit trapped on the grounds risks losing their face, their memories, and ultimately their identity.

Believing they can be together forever, Peter convinces Rebecca to invite him in. Instead of reuniting, he uses her body to walk into the lake, drowning her and binding her to Bly as a ghost. Heartbroken and furious, Rebecca refuses to join his plan to possess the children—Miles and Flora,but Peter continues manipulating events to get what he wants.

In the present day, Peter and Rebecca lure Dani to the attic as their scheme reaches its breaking point. The children appear to surrender their bodies to the ghosts, and when Hannah intervenes, Peter (speaking through Miles) forces her to confront her own death. But Flora reveals the truth: she and Rebecca have been pretending, and Rebecca has not taken her over.

As Dani attempts a desperate escape with Flora, they are suddenly confronted by Bly Manor’s most fearsome spirit—the Lady in the Lake.

We also land on our next movie review for next week: Butterfly Kisses, a fun found footage romp.

Sam and Stormy died and they can't get into Heaven until they watch every single horror movie on Netflix. But, like, those movies are constantly changing, so it seems like someone is yanking their chain.
