But it’s impossible to take any of it seriously since it’s occurring in the midst of such rampant stupidity, and torpid conversations about Morgan and Grace’s relationship, of all things, like that matters at this moment. The late reveal that the father smothered their own baby out of mercy, which, along with the radiation, has driven both of them mad, is creepy – the fact they still carry the baby around in the holdall even more so. The woman’s nose-less face is suitably horrifying. What’s frustrating is that, in a different show, this might have been an impressively creepy subplot.
Neither seems to have any adverse reactions to this. She warns Morgan that the couple are highly radioactive, and they shouldn’t go near them, and they spend most of the episode wrestling with them anyway. So, if you can accept the magic car and the sheer coincidence of running into these two people with a baby in tow, “Six Hours” challenges you further by breaking the established rules of the universe constantly. And speaking of blistering, the two crash right on the doorstep of a couple who have been driven mad by the loss of their own child, are looking for a replacement, and whose faces are messily peeling off behind swathes of bandages. They pop a mixtape into that deck and set off on their road trip, and almost immediately Grace doesn’t like what starts playing, so she frantically attacks the tape deck and starts screaming and they crash. Morgan somehow builds a radiation-proof car with clean air, enough gas to get them out of the blast radius, and a tape deck. It’s difficult to overstate how annoying all this is.

But by the end of the episode, thanks to a series of contrivances, she has seemingly made peace with the whole thing, meaning that it was all just a worthless way of imperiling these three characters for the sake of some cheap drama. If she had been presented as having explicitly lost it, that’s one thing. But it’s almost impossible to even see Grace’s point of view here. Look, there’s no horror quite like a baby that won’t stop crying. Grace, who pays no mind to the fact that Morgan has lost a child of his own and is in the exact same situation with Mo as she is, spends the entirety of “Six Hours” trying to get everyone killed because she’s sulking. The episode that dealt with that, you’ll recall, was one of the best in the show’s history. But Grace’s problems essentially boil down to the fact that Mo isn’t Athena, her biological child who was stillborn. Mo won’t stop crying, so Grace is steadily losing the will to live, and the way this manifests is in a series of incredibly bone-headed decisions that made me actively wish for her death, so at least we’re on the same page in that regard. While Victor Strand has been busy building an isolated, thriving community, Morgan and Grace have been busy slowly starving to death along with baby Mo, hiding out in the nuclear submarine.
