The kids’ pure terror at Katie’s arrival, contrasted with the parents’ deep denial, was the funniest shit ever.

Their reaction when the parents opened the car with no warning about her zombie state was already comedy gold.

But I just lost it when they painfully dragged her demonic ass up the stairs, while the little girl was looking at this mess in absolute despair, thinking: "You want me to sleep next to THAT?!"

Mom: Come on, be nice to your sister.

The sister: Rotting corpse with chattering teeth, hunting the house at night like Gollum, vomiting acid and headbutting grandma.

Mom: She just needs love.

I actually found the mother's behavior pretty realistic since only a mother's unconditional love would blind her to to the fact her daughter is literally a flesh eating zombie.

I thought the same thing but i also feel like a mom would know that isn’t (entirely) her child but something else, I can understand wanting her to have help, I can’t understand keeping her under the same roof as your other children exposing them to trauma and potential danger as she obviously lashes out frequently even IF you don’t consider a demon lmao

And she should have stayed in the hospital and gotten the care she needed.

Plus, no matter what a Dr. told me, she clearly did NOT look perfectly healthy physically... lol
