The Outsider Episode 9 Recap
Ok so episode 9 pretty much sets the grounds for in which the finale will take place, it opens however in the past all the way back in 1947 with two boys John and George. The entry opens with a boy searching a barn similar to the farm hand that discovered Terry Maitland’s clothes earlier in the series, however this is just a game and the two head off into the woods.

Eventually they end up sneaking into a cave opening which just so happens to be the cave that we heard about in last week’s episode of Cavestock.

This is the bear cave that due to what happened there gets renamed and this is why later in the episode it’s not on a map.

Eventually the boys become sealed in there and the search party die along with them after the cave collapses. People did try to save them but unfortunately, the machinery back in those days was not strong enough using explosives wouldve caused the whole system to collapse.

Now there was a large number of lives lost that day and it is possible that El Cuco chose this location because of the grief that is laced the area and also because it’s secluded. We do know that the creature feeds on the despair of those that have lost someone they love and this is why this cave was chosen above all others.



We discover that the Bolton family, aka Claude’s ancestors, were members in the search and that four of them died during the collapse along with many more people. Because El Cuco has Claudes memories, the creature is aware that this is the location of a tragic event and there is more grief in this area than the surrounding locations.

El Cuco once more is in control and those that try to enter it’s domain are doomed.

It gives the episode the theme of hopelessness and a feeling that no matter what people do, they will also lose. Claude discusses how The Outsider wanted in and it got in and there was nothing that he could do no matter how much he tried. It was like a virus. This is also given weight when there is mention of The Spanish flu of 1918 which hit the area. Incase you hadn’t heard of it before this was a massive pandemic that took out 500 million people during the early part of the 20th century.

The world population at the time was only 1.9 billion so there was a big hit on humanity.

El Cuco is a cancer that not only ravages people but the planet too and it looks like the group are out of their depth.

So yeah…nice hopeful message there for Monday morning…don’t worry though, I believe in you…I know you can make it through the week.

The Outsider is very much about breaking cycles of oppression and victimisation. El Cuco has been in a position of power for centuries because of it’s ability to control those around it. Whether it’s the slaves that it takes or the fact that police look the other way 99% of the time, the monster very much represents a system that allows it to continue to do what it likes.

I don’t really think it’s a metaphor for the TimesUp movement but that’s the most recent example that I can think of in which a system was set up in a certain way that allowed certain people in power to do things that they wouldn’t really get away with because they had money and a position that granted them the ability to.

There really would have been a feeling of hopelessness to a lot of people who had to go through situations that eventually lead to people speaking up and you very much get the feeling that Ralph and co are in over their heads. We know that not many will come to their aid and similar to the aforementioned movement, El Cuco feeds on the fact that people would rather stay out of things that could lead to trouble.
