Transcript
00:00The episode begins. In the year 1961, in the town of Natchez, Mississippi,
00:05Kobe is applying for the position of secretary to the doll maker, Van Wert. The interview quickly
00:09turns into an engaging exchange of words between the two. Kobe, during the interview, observes
00:14Van Wert's peculiar philosophy that dolls represent the pinnacle of divine perfection.
00:19With a hint of humor, she jests that perhaps he would prefer her more if she were made of plastic.
00:24Despite the light-hearted exchange, the interview concludes with an unexpected twist.
00:28Kobe does not secure the position, and in a sudden and alarming turn of events,
00:32Van Wert's assistant, Eustace, renders her unconscious. Following Van Wert's orders,
00:37Eustace takes her away. Kobe finds herself taken to Van Wert's residence, referred to as his dollhouse.
00:42When she inquires about her presence there, Van Wert informs her that she will be staying for
00:46seven days to participate in a pageant. Despite her protests, he sternly tells her she has no choice.
00:52When she attempts to escape, Eustace swiftly stops her, ensuring her captivity. After Van Wert leaves,
00:57Kobe makes a chilling discovery. The dolls are real women who have been kidnapped and forced to
01:01compete in a pageant to become Van Wert's wife and the mother to his child. They take Kobe to their
01:06room where she tries to open the window. The other women share their experiences, noting they had all
01:10come for various reasons, and recounting how their disappearances would eventually draw suspicion from
01:15the authorities. Each woman had a different story, but Van Wert had targeted them for qualities he
01:20deemed ideal for his twisted collection. They emphasize the futility of escape, describing how they had been
01:25trapped for weeks. Harleen approached Kobe, suggesting she eat something before everything
01:29began. Kobe declined, noting she had seen Otis, the little boy, the previous day. Curious about Otis's
01:35mother, Kobe learns she had died two years prior. The official story was that she drowned in an accident
01:41while picking flowers in the swamp. However, Harleen hinted at a darker truth. Van Wert, feeling inadequate,
01:47discovered she had sought affection elsewhere. He had taken her and her lover to an old stone wishing
01:52well on the property and killed them both with an electric taser before ending their lives.
01:56That night, as the women gathered, they began questioning Kobe about the trick she had performed
02:00with the toy. They were curious and somewhat skeptical about how it had moved on its own.
02:05Kobe explained that her uncle had been into magic and had shown her some tricks when she was a child.
02:09Aurelia, however, was not convinced and expressed her disbelief. She seemed to suspect that Kobe was
02:15hiding something and made it clear that she also had her strategies for winning over Otis.
02:19Kobe started to wonder about the implications of winning the competition. She questioned what it
02:23would truly mean to become the child's mother and whether it also meant becoming Van Wert's wife.
02:28Despite the uncertainty, Aurelia believed that winning could give her the time needed to figure
02:32out an escape plan, emphasizing that survival was paramount and that they couldn't afford to take
02:37risks if it meant endangering their lives. As they were talking, a bell rang, signaling a test.
02:42The woman informed Kobe that it was time to be evaluated. They all moved to the living room,
02:47where Van Wert began his briefing. He explained that the focus for the evening would be on the
02:51le-lunche, as it was known in the quarter. He emphasized the importance of maintaining formality,
02:56comparable to that of an evening meal. Van Wert proceeded to outline the essentials of their task,
03:01describing the arrangement of utensils and glassware, salad fork, meat fork, bouillon spoon,
03:06water glass, apollinaris, and so on. He detailed the hypothetical menu for the afternoon,
03:11which included crawfish cardinal, terrapin soup, stuffed drum, as well as assorted ices and pies.
03:16Precision was key, and any deviations from the correct arrangement would result in the
03:21deduction of points. The woman with the most points at the end of the test would be discarded.
03:25With only one minute to set the table for lunch, the women began working swiftly and meticulously,
03:30knowing that every second and every move counted in this high-stakes evaluation.
03:34Van Wert began his meticulous evaluation. He approached Aurelia first, noting the correct
03:38placement of the knife facing toward the plate, the fruit spoon in the proper position,
03:42and the apollinaris glass correctly placed, awarding her a perfect score. Next, he moved
03:47to Harleen and critiqued her tragic napkin fold and the incorrect placement of the salad and meat
03:52forks, resulting in two points against her. When evaluating Bonnie, Van Wert noted her knife was
03:56facing the wrong way and the salted nut bowl was misplaced. For Kobe, he identified errors with
04:02using a bouillon spoon instead of a terrapin fork and a misplaced water glass, costing her four points.
04:07Finally, Van Wert expressed his disappointment in Faye, citing numerous errors with napkins,
04:13utensils, and glassware. With too many infractions to count, Eustace tased Faye, ending her life,
04:18and disposed of her body in a well. Kobe performed a magic trick for Otis again. Intrigued, Otis asked if
04:24it was just a trick, and Kobe revealed it was a gift she had since childhood. She explained her fear
04:28of her family's reaction, given their strict rules about right and wrong, which led her to leave in
04:33search of freedom. Otis shared that he felt different too, having stopped attending school
04:37due to bullying and being labeled odd by teachers. Kobe acknowledged how difficult it was to be
04:42different and sympathize with Otis missing his mother. When he admitted he hoped she would win
04:46and become his new mom, she explained she wouldn't be a good mother if she were sad about the dolls being
04:50thrown down the well. Kobe clarified that the dolls were her friends and made a heartfelt promise,
04:55urging Otis to tell his father to stop the horrific practice and let everyone go. She assured him that
05:00she would be the best mommy he could ever want, crossing her heart as a solemn vow.
05:04Later that night, Otis approached his father with a look of concern and asked if he was in trouble.
05:09His father responded, explaining that life often presents challenges, and as good Christians,
05:14they must face these challenges directly. Reflecting on the loss of Otis' mother, he mentioned
05:18that he believed the only suitable replacement would be someone perfect. He reassured Otis that he was
05:23determined to find the best possible mommy for him, someone who would always be there for him.
05:28After reaffirming his trust in his father, Otis was asked if he had something specific he wanted
05:32to discuss. Hesitating, Otis decided not to pursue the conversation further and simply said nothing
05:37before leaving the room. The next day, the bell rang, signaling the women to prepare once again.
05:42Van Wirt arrived and announced the day's challenge. He explained that they would be judged on their
05:47ability to transform a mundane household chore into a form of art, the proper ironing and folding of a
05:52shirt, according to the meticulous standards set by Monsieur Seydoux in his renowned Dauphine Street
05:57Laundry. Van Wirt emphasized the importance of Seydoux's unique ironing spray, which used
06:02courvoisier instead of raw alcohol, and included various herbs to create a distinctive aroma. The women
06:07were given three minutes to prepare their solutions and iron and fold their shirts. As they worked, Van
06:13Wirt issued commands, stressing the importance of the proper mixing and application of the solution,
06:18and the distinction between folds and creases. Once the time was up, he began evaluating their
06:22work. First, he approached Harleen, criticizing her use of too much lavender and insufficient
06:27courvoisier, deducting three points. He then moved to Kobe, noting excessive starch that made the shirt
06:32almost animate and a scorch mark, expressing his disappointment. As punishment, he instructed her
06:37to place her left hand on the board and then burned her hand with the iron, reminding her to learn
06:41from the experience. Van Wirt then evaluated Aurelia, who had done everything correctly. Finally, he turned to
06:47Bonnie, criticizing her for creating creases instead of folds and using too little starch. He also
06:52remarked on the unpleasant smell, likening it to a brothel, and deducted four points. As Bonnie
06:57screamed in protest, she was killed. Van Wirt concluded by announcing that the next day would be
07:02the final test, where the one who excelled would be granted a great honor, while the others would face
07:06an unspecified fate. Harleen approached Kobe with a desperate plan. She suggested that they should jump
07:11their captors when they came in, making weapons out of whatever they could find and attacking them,
07:16believing they couldn't shoot all of them at once. Kobe lamented that they should have attempted this
07:20when there were more of them. Kobe reflected on how she had thought she had gotten through to Otis,
07:24expressing her anger and frustration. If chosen as his mother, she swore she would strangle him
07:28at the first opportunity. Harleen, however, expressed sympathy for Otis, noting that she thought
07:33Van Wirt seemed to favor her. Harleen pointed out that while Van Wirt had punished her by ironing her
07:38hand, he could have easily thrown her into the well for burning one of his shirts. She speculated that
07:43Van Wirt was aware of his son's liking for Kobe. Unbeknownst to them, Aurelia overheard their
07:48conversation while standing by the door, absorbing the details of their exchange. Aurelia, determined
07:53to prevent Kobe from winning, took a screw from a lightbulb and attempted to stab her from behind.
07:58However, anticipating her plan, Kobe and Harleen had placed a doll dressed in Kobe's clothes,
08:02so Aurelia ended up stabbing the doll instead. Kobe and Harleen then approached her from behind.
08:07Aurelia, realizing her failure, exclaimed that she knew Van Wirt favored Kobe and was determined not to
08:13die the next day. Kobe reassured her that none of them had to die, proposing a different plan.
08:17Skeptical, Aurelia questioned how they could escape, suggesting magic wouldn't save them.
08:22Kobe calmly explained that they were going to walk out the front door. Aurelia pointed out that the
08:26estate spanned 10 miles in every direction, making escape seemingly impossible as they would be hunted
08:31down. Kobe clarified that their captors wouldn't know about their escape immediately, giving them a
08:35crucial head start. She revealed the plan. They would use Van Wirt's obsession with dolls to their
08:40advantage. By creating convincing decoys, they could buy themselves enough time to make their
08:44escape. As part of their plan, the women set up decoy dolls, and Kobe used her magic to unlock the
08:49door. As they began their escape, Kobe insisted they should take Otis with them, but the other two
08:54women refused and ran away while Kobe returned to the house. Kobe went to Otis' room, urging him to come
08:59with her because his father was dangerous. However, Otis apologized and tased her. Meanwhile, in the woods,
09:05Harleen fell and screamed for Aurelia to help her. Aurelia returned, seemingly to assist, but intended
09:10to kill Harleen for being loud and slow. Before she could act, Otis arrived and shot both Aurelia and
09:15Harleen. Back in the house, Kobe was tied up. Van Wirt declared her the winner of the contest, citing her
09:21devotion to his son, and then began transforming her into a human doll. During the transformation,
09:26Kobe's magical powers interfered with the electricity, which sent an alert to the witches at Miss
09:30Robichaux's Academy in New Orleans. Two witches arrived, rescuing Kobe and setting Van Wirt and
09:35Eustace on fire. Otis, wanting to stay with Kobe, left with her and the witches. The episode concluded
09:40with their arrival at Miss Robichaux Academy. Otis was introduced to a young Myrtle Snow. Otis goes by
09:46his middle name and introduces himself as Spalding.
