In episode 8, Natasha decides that instead of fighting against the baby, she is going to finally give him what he wants.

Unconditional love.

Natasha fully embraces the role of being the baby’s mother and re-constructs her life to fulfil his needs.

Everything in her life suddenly revolves around him!

However, this means that the baby has complete control over Natasha.

When she takes him to a check-up appointment, Natasha refuses to leave the baby alone with the nurse

But the nurse warns Natasha that she’s going to give the baby ‘attachment issues’ and picks up the tot anyway.

Of course, it doesn’t end well for the nurse after that.

Although we don’t actually see what happens, we see a group of panicked doctors frantically rushing to the nurse’s aid.

Yikes!

Was Natasha able to kill the baby?

Towards the end of the final, Natasha is complete brain-washed by the sadistic infant, to the point where she attacks her own father for holding her child.

When Bobbi visits Natasha’s house, she finds her father lying wounded and almost unconscious in the bedroom.

The baby learns what Bobbi is trying to do and Natasha tells Bobbi to run for her life, knowing full well what’s about to happen next.

But Bobbi isn’t able to escape.

Natasha, once again possessed by the little one, finds Mrs Eaves and stabs her.

But before she does anything else, Natasha suddenly realises what she’s done and drops the knife.

In a panic, she takes the murderous baby away, while Bobbi and an injured Mrs Eaves follow her.

Driving in the car she tells him: “You’re a parasite, and you suck people dry.”

Bobbi eventually finds Natasha on the edge of the cliff with the baby, ready to jump.

When she tries to to calm her down, Natasha questions her own existence and tells Bobbi that she doesn’t know the purpose of her life.

Suddenly, a limping Mrs. Eaves arrives at the scene and asks to hold the infant.

Then, without giving anybody a chance to react, she jumps from the cliff with the baby.

Natasha jumps in to save Mrs. Eaves from drowning, leaving the newborn to fall to the bottom of the ocean.

Their nightmare has finally ended!
