Hulu’s horror anthology series Into the Dark finally completed its twelve month, twelve episode season with its September 6 episode “Pure.” Each episode ordinarily revolves around a holiday or notable day in the month it airs, so why did the show pick the obscure “Daughters’ Day” over the much more obvious Labor Day for September? Apparently, it’s so the series can force its feminist, anti-Christian message.

The episode focuses on a teenage girl named Shay (Jahkara Smith) traveling with her father Kyle (Jim Klock) and half-sister Jo (McKaley Miller) to a father-daughter Purity Retreat. Essentially, it’s a weekend where young girls promise God and their fathers to remain abstinent until marriage.
