As this story nears its end, Ni’Jah almost feels like a Wizard of Oz-type figure, which means the real story lies with Dre, Swarm’s Dorothy.
, Janine Nabers and Donald Glover’s brainchild morphs into a full-blown serial killer thriller, with the Beyoncé references getting shunted to the background as we peek into Dre’s past. I’ll admit to feeling somewhat misled by the trailers, with my personal love for Beyoncé tainting my expectations for the series.
Dre’s next stop is the home she and Marissa grew up in. In one of her most childlike outfits of the whole season, she returns to the site of her trauma, which also happens to be the place she found love. The homecoming is unsettling: she breaks in through the window, greets the family dog, snoops around, and holds her foster mother Patricia at gunpoint, demanding Marissa’s phone line be turned back on.
Evoking a true-crime documentary, and censoring out Ni’Jah’s name and image, closes some of the gap between the audience and this fictionalized serial-killer superfan. For the entire episode, every character is all but saying the name “Beyoncé,” with Darryl, a fan who is interviewed, wearing what looks like a real IvyPark fit and the fanbase being called out by name.
