Jack Parsons: The Devil and the Divine is the sixth episode of the second season of the historical horror television series Lore. This episode explores the life and story of Jack Parsons, a controversial and influential figure in the world of early rocket science and occult practices.

The episode begins by tracing Parsons' early years as a curious and scientifically-inclined child, who was fascinated by rockets and the stars above. It then follows him as he becomes a key member of the fledgling Jet Propulsion Laboratory and begins to experiment with rocket fuels and propulsion methods.

However, the episode also delves into Parsons' more controversial and unconventional interests, including his deep involvement in the world of the occult and his belief in the work of famed occultist Aleister Crowley. It explores his involvement in Crowley's religious sect, the Ordo Templi Orientis, and his later creation of his own group, the Agape Lodge.

The episode explores the tensions that these two sides of Parsons' life created, both within himself and within the wider scientific and religious communities. It also delves into his relationship with various other influential figures of the time, including L. Ron Hubbard, who would go on to found Scientology.

Throughout the episode, interviews with various experts and historians help to shed light on Parsons' story and its wider implications for both science and spirituality. The episode also incorporates reenactments and archival footage to help bring Parsons' story to life.

Overall, Jack Parsons: The Devil and the Divine is a thought-provoking and unsettling exploration of a fascinating and complicated historical figure. While it offers no easy answers to the questions raised by Parsons' story, it encourages viewers to consider the deeper connections between science, faith, and the human desire for meaning and understanding.
