JJ Vallow

As Henry said last episode, these are Mormons trying to get away with murder, sheltered folk. And from what we've seen over the years, nothing gets you into trouble faster than over-explaining. That, of course, is exactly what Chad did after the disposal of Tylee's body.

After Alex left that day, Chad decided that he needed to explain to his wife what that burning flesh smell was, whether she noticed it or not. So he sent this highly incriminating, unprompted text to ostensibly cover his tracks. And please, verbatim.

Yeah, it is. It is. Remember what happened in Pet Sematary, too? We all love Clancy Brown. I do.

Yeah. Duck. I'm going to teach you so much. So good. Now, even though Tylee was only 16 years old, Lori told everybody that she was now attending BYU-Idaho. Most people accepted the explanation as to why Tylee wasn't around anymore. So when there weren't a lot of follow-up questions, it seemed like Lori felt safe enough to move on to the task of getting rid of JJ.

See, according to Melanie Gibbs' boyfriend, Chad was telling Lori that JJ was now a zombie who loved Satan. Cool! I knew you'd say that. Yeah! God, that would have been awesome. Lori said she believed Chad's claim because JJ's vocabulary was growing, and he was finally sitting still to watch TV, where he'd never been able to do that previously.

Now, it seems like there was a moment when Lori thought that she might not have to kill JJ. She told podcaster Melanie Gibb that she was going to hand over JJ to his grandmother, Kay Woodcock. She was going to lie to Kay and tell her that she couldn't take care of JJ anymore because she had cancer.
