Something strange is going on in ‘Darkness on the Edge of Town’
Last time on Swamp Thing, a new monster came to life. It was hideous, and meant to cause great harm to a lot of people. Meanwhile Abby is getting desperate to find some cure for this disease that is ailing so many people in Marais. She has a run in with this monster, and Swamp Thing shows up and ends up defeating it in a way. She reveals to them she knows who they are. In return they give her a clue that just might help combat this illness. Now a new virus hits Marais in ‘Darkness on the Edge of Town’. I was able to watch a screener of this episode and here is what I thought of it.

Realizing that his new abilities allow him to communicate with the life around him, Swamp Thing senses a growing darkness within the swamp and begins to understand his role in the struggle for balance between growth and decay. Abby, meanwhile, is forced to accept that the things she has witnessed in Marais are evidence of supernatural forces at play – especially when her return dredges up her dark history with the Sunderlands. And Liz shares some evidence with Sheriff Cable about her investigation into the death of Alec Holland. Lastly, we learn more about the mysterious Daniel Cassidy and the supernatural bargain that keeps him in Marais.
A strange new virus comes to Marais in ‘Darkness on the Edge of Town’. A man contracts it in the swamp by accident, and it causes him to do some crazy things. They pass it on to someone else, and what they do is equally shocking. Once Abby starts to understand it, she know she has to find someway to stop it. Swamp Thing reveals to her he may have to answer to stopping it once and for all. As this episode comes to a close we get to see just how powerful this creature is becoming, and what their role may be in all of this.
