After last week’s exploration of vampires, this week’s theme is family connections. The episode kicks off with a woman tied to a cinder block in a river, setting herself free and screaming, only to drown anyway. We are then brought back to Harrow and James, inside the former’s boat. Harrow asks James the questions he (and the viewers) have been
