Plot Overview

Some strange side effects soon start manifesting in April, resulting in her devolving into a feral ghoul with an unusual taste for human flesh. Being too kind and loving for his own good, Richard starts killing random strangers and turning their corpses into gourmet meals for the monstrous love of his life, prompting a local detective to get suspicious.

Behind the Scenes
Allusions and References
- Richard's decision to keep his monstrous wife chained up in the basement while feeding her human corpses is borrowed from Pet Sematary.
- His method of turning the corpses into five-star meals is also borrowed from Hannibal.
- April crawls down the basement stairs at one point in the same way Samara from The Ring does.
- Daisy is based on Homer, the vampiric child from the film Near Dark, down to sharing the same hunting technique of staging an injury.
- She is also seen facing the basement wall to lure Detective Kiernan into her clutches, much like Mike does at the end of The Blair Witch Project.
- The episode as a whole is a giant reference to Santa Clarita Diet, given that its focus is on a woman who becomes a flesh-eating monster and a husband who is willing to give her victims to eat.
