The most destructive thing about healing is the awareness. Once your eyes are truly open to one reality in one area of your life, it becomes difficult to ignore when it shows up somewhere else.

In Episode 9 of LoveCraft Country, everyone’s eyes are forced open, moving from one dangerous event to one of the most dangerous and fatal events in Black History — the summer of 1921 in Tulsa Oklahoma. As Tic, Leti, and Montrose venture back into time to rescue the book of names in order to save Dee, the trio come up against more than just a tragic moment in history, they’re physically face to face with the tragedies in their own personal family history.
