Well, that ending is one way to keep the ball rolling with how practically everything the show started with has been solved. And by the ending, I mean the fact that their ritual didn't work, although I guess the ending itself may be more significant in keeping the ball rolling. Also, now that I think about it, since Owen is seemingly dead or if he is dead, is that the whole Aglaeca plotline over and done with? Or is it just getting started, so to speak, all because their failed ritual pissed it off to a greater extent, which implies that if they hadn't done that, the Aglaeca would've backed off once Owen died? Or, on a different track, was Owen's death (if he IS dead) not caused by the Aglaeca and will be a not-so-supernatural murder mystery to solve? He is (or was) a Marvin so I'd imagine there would be more than enough people that would want him dead and would that whole mile if an opportunity presented itself. Regardless, I believe the reveal that the Aglaeca could be an entity with a human origin, as well as Owen's "death", will serve as a way to move the plot along and for there to BE a plot, to focus on now that a whole lot that was a big deal back at the beginning of the show has been resolved.
The casting here is absolutely WHACK because if Nancy's supposed to be 19 and Lucy was 17 when she died, that puts Ryan at around 36 years old, and twice as old as George. (Which like... I'm w/ Victoria on asking why tf George was sleeping w/ him in the first place, especially when this happened a bit pre-series as well?! Not to mention Riley is MUCH older than Leah, which makes it even more weird...) Nancy'd also be sleeping w/ someone 6 years older than her, too. Not AS bad, but still.
George technically slept with Nancy's dad... Yikes.
Also, according to what he'd said at the Velvet Masque, Owen was 5 in 1999 - so he should be about 25 years old (from the year 2019), which... he does not look THAT young lmao just say he's in his early 30's
So the Aglaeca wasn't an inhuman spirit, sure, ok. But why drag this out further? What's the point? There's one episode of the season left and I've the feeling it's gonne be a jumping off point for the next season. If it's killed Owen, then it probably has something to do with the ship sinking incident from earlier, right? Almost in the same way the guy who escaped was still haunted, and especially with all the portents being sea-related... Except I've no idea how this connects in any way, and it just feels so jarring.
I'm also just really tired of all the family stuff Bess is going through at the moment. It just feels like they've added in some huge "drama" subplot to a show that's meant to hinge on the fact it's a supernatural detective series. If I wanted to watch people toss and turn in the mess of protecting their social status, I would've turned to something else entirely.
Tbh we could've ended with the reveal of Nancy being Ryan's daughter.
I’m so lost with this algacea storyline.
Maybe this first season should’ve been 16 episodes and end with Nancy’s real dad reveal.

Let's be real, Ryan looks, at most 10 years older than Nancy.
Also, Owen is supposed to be Ryan's age, right? It's weird that two out of the three female main characters are/were in relationships with guys twice their age who could be their dads. Are the pickings in that town really that slim?
