Yaga Episode 3 Recap and Review
Yaga’s third episode envelopes us further with its otherworldly occurrences and shocking reveals, while keeping us on our toes for who’s really behind the mysteries and possible horrors that seem to lie ahead.
Yaga Season 1, Episode 3 continues the eerie and witchy tale with answers to viewers' biggest questions from Episode 2. The episode begins on the beach where Logan's lifeless body is confirmed by police, along with blood found near an open window in his bedroom. Rapp sees Logan's ice blue eyes, leading him to believe he may be hallucinating from drugs or something sinister affecting him.
A pattern of "time" is evident in the series, as revealed by Carson recounting events from the previous night at Henry's party, where "a few hours" passed between seeing Logan disappear upstairs and Carson finding Rapp on the beach. However, the time blips between Rapp's text messages and those from Carson and Angel suggest otherwise.
As the episode progresses, Rapp tries to pursue Carson, only to have her reject him. Later, Rapp falls asleep quickly, waking up to see Pam, Henry's ex-girlfriend, seductively remove a white feather from his mouth. He jolts back into reality and later finds himself in the mortuary, examining Logan's severed penis and body, which suggests Logan was murdered. The ancient Aztec knife with human bone and Obsidian used in the murder is classified by Katherine as connected to deities representing sexual desire and fertility.
The story takes a dark turn as Carson visits Logan's mother, Alice, who reveals her hatred for the Parks and shares a rumor that Logan and Henry purchased one of Pam's lame hens from her, joking they would sacrifice it. Alice passionately claims she sees everything affecting Logan, saying he is "getting closer and closer to the Devil." When Rapp and Carson investigate Henry and Logan's possible relationship, Rapp unintentionally fuels speculation about Carson's sexuality.
As they explore Logan's room, they uncover drug powder in a canister with a Triskelion symbol, connected to the Triple Goddess archetype in Celtic mythology and Baba Yaga in Slavic folklore. The chicken foot hanging from Logan's lampshade further leads investigators to believe it was from the chicken that Henry and Pam were rumored to have sacrificed.
