Holy “father” in heaven, THE BIG DOOR episode just lived up to its potential. It did this smoothly with several celebratory “dance” moments and one significant character having an opportunity to flap their wings.
At the end of episode three, “Father,” Reuben (Damon Gupton) uses the Morpho Machine, and the show abruptly ends on a cliffhanger as to why it profoundly affects him.
