Ep 7. The Damage Done

Set in the fictional town of Rome, West Virginia, Outcast is a supernatural horror show that follows Kyle Barnes, who has been plagued by demonic possessions his whole life. Eventually, he teams up with Reverend Anderson, a local preacher, to fight off the forces of evil and protect his loved ones from being possessed. Season 1, episode 7 is titled "The Damage Done."

In this episode, Kyle returns to Rome after a short absence to find that things have taken a turn for the worse. Mark has been institutionalized after he confessed to killing Charlize, and Megan is struggling to cope with what has happened. As Kyle tries to help her through it all, he gives her some advice that he hopes will be enough to help her get past her own guilt.

Meanwhile, Reverend Anderson is dealing with his own problems. His church is being threatened with foreclosure by a wealthy businessman who wants to turn the land into a parking lot. Anderson feels betrayed that the town council would choose to sell the church rather than protect it, and he takes matters into his own hands.

But as they both try to make the best of a bad situation, Kyle and Anderson are faced with a new danger. The possessed woman they encountered in the last episode has escaped from her holding cell at the hospital, and she's picked up some new tricks. She is able to control other people, making them behave in ways they wouldn't normally. As a result, the town is thrown into chaos as people start acting out their darkest desires.

The episode is equal parts tense and emotional. As the story unfolds, we see Kyle and Megan struggle with their guilt over the death of Charlize. Meanwhile, Anderson is grappling with his own sense of loss. He is willing to do whatever it takes to save his church, even if it means making deals with the Devil.

The Damage Done serves as a turning point for the series, as it marks a shift in the main characters' motivations. Kyle, who has been hesitant to embrace his powers up to this point, finally starts to take action. Anderson becomes more desperate in his efforts to save the church, even if it means making a deal with an unsavory character. The episode is a powerful exploration of the struggle between good and evil, and the lengths that people will go to preserve what they hold dear.

Overall, Outcast season 1 episode 7 is a gripping installment in the series. The characters are well-developed, the story is engrossing, and the tension is palpable. Fans of supernatural horror will find plenty to enjoy in this episode, which expertly blends scares and character development.
