The newest episode of “The Outsider” on HBO was outstanding.

WARNING: THERE ARE GOING TO BE SPOILERS BELOW. DO NOT KEEP READING IF YOU AREN’T CAUGHT UP YET. CONSIDER YOURSELF WARNED.

We knew going into “Que Viene El Coco” we were probably going to get some clues about the villain causing all the deaths in the hit series.

The main clue was that the episode title translates in English to “the bogeyman is coming.” In the biggest reveal of the episode, Holly learns at the end that the bad guy is essentially just that. It’s the boogeyman. (REVIEW: HBO‘s New Series ‘The Outsider‘ Is Incredible)

It goes by different names in different cultures, but in one of the best lines in recent TV history, it’s said that El Coco feeds on the grief. It kills the kids and then sticks around to take the grieving family members for dessert.

The boogeyman theory is pretty much confirmed when the teenage kid who saw him draws him out for Ralph and the police.

Speaking of our guy Ralph, he also seems to have learned that whatever causes a person to become a killer is passed through contact.

There’s a scene where he’s breaking down the strip club footage, and I’ll be honest, I’m not really sure what the whole thing about the handshake and scratch was about.

However, we do now know Terry appears to have been cut by the nurse who later murdered two children and committed suicide.

On top of all of that, Jack also shot a deer, proceeded to maul it and dropped off a bunch of stuff into the woods. This seemed to go inline with the vampire theory some had been floating.

There’s also now a female prisoner in the mix also accused of murder, and she had sex with Heath (the nurse who committed suicide last episode).

In the sex scene, he’s seen bleeding down his back. He’s also seen in security footage running into Terry, and possibly spreading the virus.

Again, we have somebody accused of a murder with an alibi but with their DNA all over the scene. By my count, there’s no three people in this situation. There’s Terry, Heath and Maria, who is the woman Holly speaks with.

In a chilling moment, it seemed like Maria was going to reveal the true killer before saying she’d be put in a mental hospital if she did.

All the way around, it was a crazy episode with tons of developments. We now seem to know how Terry got infected and seem to have a pretty solid idea on who the killer is.

The only question now is whether or not Ralph can put it all together and stop the evil at play. Tune in Sunday!

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
