Super underrated episode. Absolutely bizarre how people don't get that this one's (among other things) a Heathers homage: Pitch-black humor, goofy surrealism, droll teen-soap satire, and a send-up of Satanic panic and astrological inanity to top it all off. Sure, it doesn't quite nail that balance between horror and comedy like it could have, but hell, I'd argue that Carter comes awfully damn close to successfully replicating Morgan's off-kilter comedic sensibility, though it's clearly less philosophical and more on-the-nose silly. I mean, I doubt Darin would've had the Keystone Kops provide climactic accompaniment. But I was laughing the entire time, largely at M&S's constant schoolyard bickering.

C'mon. Lighten up, people. Sure. Fine. Whatever.
