EPISODE CONTEXT

Sitting at the one-third mark of this 24-episode run, 'Puppets' follows the intense revelations of 'Devil' and pushes Rosette's personal stakes higher by introducing a dangerous new adversary in Rizelle. The episode serves as a critical bridge, deepening the supernatural conflict while setting the stage directly for 'Joshua,' which promises to bring Rosette's deeply personal quest into sharper, more emotionally charged focus. This stretch of episodes marks the transition from establishing the world and its rules to confronting the series' core emotional throughline.
