The search for Gibney is on.

Into The Pines, Into The Pines begins with a bug writhing in the dirt, completely helpless.

Were left to wonder, is this the fate of Holly Gibney?

Will she be the one left writhing in pain now that shes stuck with the demonically possessed Jack?

The tension is palpable.

Whats fascinating is that Jack is fully aware of whats happening to him.

Hes not doing anything to hide it.

This is propulsive, engaging stuff.

Ralph and Pelley are on the case, going to Jacks motel room and seeing all the blood.

They manage to ping their phones and trace their locations to a gas station.

Thats where Gibney managed to escape from Jack, but they dont know that.

They simply see tire tracks and Gibneys smashed cellphone.

Theyre still assuming the worst.

After all the contemplation and hesitation, this feels likeThe Outsidergetting back to business.
