Some individuals exhibit necrophilia—a destructive impulse and love of death—driven by fear of life's uncontrollability, manifesting in pathological enjoyment of war and destruction.
Can you believe it took this show seven whole episodes to finally dabble in necrophilia? As we saw last week, Dina Standish's husband, Doug, has died, and rather than calling the morgue and making arrangements, she simply gets ready for bed and goes to sleep next to the body. What could initially be seen as a relatable, albeit extreme, bit of procrastinating is soon revealed to be a reluctance to part with the body that lasts for days on end.
