The fifth episode of Lovecraft Country, "Strange Case," was one of the series' best so far. Following Ruby after her sexual encounter with William, the episode mostly focused on Letty's sister as she began living a double life as a white woman. With the help of magic, the process of returning to her true form involved some intensely gruesome skin-shedding, but Ruby takes advantage of her new situation in extremely compelling ways. Throughout the episode, her romance with William appears to blossom as he assures her she can choose whichever form she likes when they're together. However, Ruby is suspicious of his house and continually asks what's going on in the basement. Ruby speaks to Christina, and is surprised to learn that William has informed her of what's been going on between them, but also sternly tells her that she has no idea what her struggles are like. At the end of the episode, Ruby discovers a big secret: she and Christina aren't as different as she thought. Warning: Spoilers Ahead...
