Devil in Silver Episode 4 Reveals Dorry’s Role as the Supernatural Threat Grows

Critic’s Rating: 4.5 / 5.0

4.5

The supernatural threat grows on The Terror: Devil in Silver, and with how strong the season has been, it’s making me a little worried about the final episodes.

We’re closing in on the end of the story, and I’m curious whether it can stick the landing.

I’m also curious about whether there will be any justice, as we lose another character to the horrors of human nature on The Terror: Devil in Silver Episode 4.

Dorry Knows Much More About the Supernatural Threat

There was a point during the second hour of The Terror: Devil in Silver that made it clear Dorry knew something.

She’d already said to herself that Pepper was the perfect person for whoever this supernatural entity was, and she started crying blood when she talked about him.

Now, it’s clear that she’s working with this devil, and he’s not happy that she stopped taking her meds. That pizza riot wasn’t part of his plan.

What’s interesting is that we see this supernatural entity take on the form of the main doctor, again, the one who is in the photo in the office.

Did he make some sort of deal and become the supernatural threat, or is it possible that he died at the hands of whatever this devil is?

Either way, his presence in the psychiatric unit grows, and he even manages to get into Pepper’s head.

After fighting to get answers, Dorry finally delivers on them, taking Pepper to see Dr. Walter.

I’m not sure that Dorry is intentionally evil, though. We learn that she had a lobotomy, and that would have changed everything about how she sees the world.

It’s possible that she believes Dr. Walter is trying to help her and that he wants to help Pepper.

As Coffee and Loochie followed him, I found myself feeling more and more like I was in the world of American Horror Story.

It was pretty clear the hole would be covered before the staff saw it, and I have to question whether it was there.

That’s what the show wants us to do, right? It wants us to wonder whether the patients are seeing things or if something supernatural is going on.

There has to be something supernatural. Too much has happened for people to start saying this monster isn’t real.

It wasn’t all that shocking to learn that Pepper would be in some sort of catatonic state when Coffee and Loochie eventually found him.

Nor was it absurd to find out that Coffee was trapped in the room that is connected to that silver door.

Of course, it was going to be the patients who got the details first, but I find myself curious about where that hole in the wall led and where Dr. Walter’s office was.

We have just two episodes left, and I feel like we’re still getting more questions than answers, and I’m hooked.

This is the point where I need to know, but it’s why I’m worried that the series isn’t going to stick the landing. Can the answers be as good as the mystery itself?

Why Is Nobody Questioning Missing People?

There’s been one thing that’s frustrated me about the cops. Not that they didn’t want to actually do their job, but that they just don’t care.

The two turn up again, as it turns out that there’s a lot to discuss after the failed pizza field trip, and there’s a mention of their missing colleague.

Only, it’s not really one of those moments where they’re concerned. They literally don’t care about this guy.

With an offhand comment about him running off and never being seen again, it’s clear that they think he just left the job.

They have no interest in even considering that something happened in the hospital or that something might have happened to him elsewhere.

There is no missing persons report filed, which suggests that this guy didn’t even have family outside.

On top of that, there’s been no mention of the Book Club doctor, who we assume died during a previous episode of The Terror Season 3.

The staff hasn’t even mentioned him!

Does this supernatural entity wipe up some of the mess created by those who want to reveal the truth, or does it just know when people won’t be missed?

The irony is that Dr. Anand was angry that the board of directors didn’t care about him or the hospital. Why should they care when the staff doesn’t even care about their patients?

I want to believe that Miss Chris feels for her patients, but she’s never really shown empathy.

As she talks to her daughter — or granddaughter, I couldn’t quite figure that one out — she finally gives a sign that she cares, but something about it felt ingenuous with how we’ve seen her react to Pepper.

See, it’s just a lot more questions than answers at this point, and I need to find out more.

Despite the anger, The Terror: Devil in Silver Episode 4 ends on a sad note.

As Coffee is finally able to escape the horror of whatever goes on behind that silver door, the two cops open fire on him.

At no point does Dr. Anand — who probably deserves to have his name spelled wrong on the trophy — do anything in an attempt to stop the cops.

He should know Coffee, and yet, he just allows the cops to open fire, likely killing him. Now, poor Coffee’s soul is going to be trapped in this hospital.

I’m intrigued by the aftermath of the ending, but then, I just wonder how Anand, Miss Chris, and Scotch Tape will just cover it all up again.
