The story that AMC has weaved with the telling of Zoe’s tale has been wonderful. Amazing. And it surprises me.
I had no idea Zarf or Zoe would command this much presence and story.
The scenes where Zoe made her first appearance on Bianca’s doorstep and the subsequent reveal to a stunned Bianca were outstanding scenes. Better than I thought AMC could ever pull off.. . . However, and here’s a spoiler, so stop reading if you don’t want to know: Zarf is going to become a prime suspect in the show’s Satin Slayer killings.
The residents of Pine Valley should be prepared to be knocked off their feet next week as Zarf is set to explain his story to those who suspect him of murder.
Those following the recent Delink Twisty/transphobia debates all over feminist blogland will see the relevance of this: Zarf/Zoe spent today's episode in jail, and as evidence that she is the serial killer everyone believes her to be, another character even mentioned the psychokiller in The Silence of the Lambs. I wouldn't call that coincidence. More like hateful stereotype.
