It's just so weird how they try to justify all these actions as god's will.

I’m so sorry for your loss. That sounds like a very traumatizing experience..I don’t think there are words to really help with that kind of loss. I just hope you are in a much better place today. And their family is doing the best they can.
This show really helps with understanding loss and death and religion for sure.

That and he already fed once, which probably makes it pretty much impossible to control the urge. Also his history with alcoholism, which the show is clearly drawing parallels to.
Besides, it already showed him standing over his family's sleeping bodies. As much as anyone can try and say "Oh he could have fought it, blah blah blah." I think the only one who would truly know that is himself. And if he already felt like he wasn't going to last another day without feeding, I can totally understand why he did what he did. And sure, he could have stayed on the island to do it, but like he said, he didn't want to give himself a chance to run away from it, and he didn't want to be alone. And if it gave Erin the smallest chance to save herself, that's a big bonus.

Thanks for these videos, and thank you for sending out chill vibes at the beginning of this one. I am about to chill out myself, and watch it now. This was my favorite episode of the series, so I am excited to see your reaction to it.
I just wanted to say thank you again for these videos. I recently lost a kid at my school, which led me to resigning from my position about 6 weeks ago. When I left, I binged this show and finally understood why so many people are attracted to Religion and Faith. Because the alternative is having to live with the thought of never being able to see or speak to someone you cared for again, and that is so incredibly hard to live with. But it is possible.
I'm still not religious, but I'm finding myself leaning on Faith a bit more these days. I try to remember that in my entire life, there is not one bad day that has beat me. I always wake up the next day still a player in the game of life, scarred, bruised, even haunted by my own ghosts, but undefeated. And so are you and everyone else who might be reading this. You and Abi's reactions to the things I love so much have been amazing! Thanks again. Cheers! :D

I agree, but on reflection I think he did it this way because he knew his urge to feed was growing, and this was his way of assuring her safety, as well as his family's safety,

This was a hard episode for me when I watched it. Telling someone you love, someone you had hoped would be in your life forever, that you loved them for the last time, knowing it would be. I’ve been there. Hit me hard. Though were I in his shoes I’d have probably not subjected her to watching me burn. I’d have waited until the next day and asked her over. Then when she knocked I’d have stuck my hand through the door so she could see the truth and then explain. This was cruel in a way.
