Seventh episode of the FX series’ third and final season sees the women get tangled up with the spirit of Elora’s dead mother, Cookie
. If an idea fits both the needs of a given story and the series’ larger themes about Indigenous culture, then it’s in, no fuss, no muss. So nobody really worries about why, say, Bear is constantly being harassed by William Knifeman while the other three kids barely interact with spirits, if at all.of Elora’s late mother Cookie tells Bear’s mother Rita that some families are just more open to seeing spirits.
In the past, characters on the show who interact with spirits have tended to be kids . So Bear is more willing to go along with the idea that William is back again to offer half-baked wisdom, or that he’s sharing pie with Deer Lady. When Elora’s grandmother appeared to her shortly after passing away, Elora was not only young enough to not question it, but very desperately needed to say goodbye in this way, along with all the others that we saw throughout that episode.
Rita, though, is a middle-aged woman, old enough that her son can arguably be left on his own should Rita take a lucrative promotion in a big city. To her, the sudden return of her late friend in spirit form — notform, Cookie clarifies, because “Ghosts are dumb!” — is not a sign that she is receiving wisdom as part of her culture, but a warning that she is losing her mind.
Much of what follows could feel overly broad or schticky, as if writer Migizi Pensoneau had spent a lot of time bingeing, and thought it might be fun to deploy the familiar gimmick in this show’s context. But its use here feels just off-center enough to fit into this unique show, rather than as a rehash of what’s been done dozens of times in the past elsewhere.
