Household Gods

This could have been a decent episode given the concept. What's more horrifying than being betrayed by the ones you love so they can put you in a position of servitude? What's scarier than having your autonomy as a woman stripped away? As a person?

But instead of showing how terrifying it can be to find yourself trapped with a baby and a partner who won't hold up their end of the domestic work and parenting, the overall feel of the episode was cheesy and camp. I didn't feel like they captured how monstrous it would be to find the person you married conspiring with some awful bigoted creature just to hold you down because of prejudice they didn't reveal to you until you were in too deep.

Because of the camp feel and displays of "domestic bliss" if the women just give in, you almost feel like sexism is the moral of the story...
