Will Joy be OK?
After spending four years in the 1880s—time which, thankfully, translated to only a few days’ absence—Joy makes it home, but she’s been physically and mentally mangled by her experiences. Though Royal advises her to be honest with her loved ones, and she does try to explain everything to her confused wife, Martha (Morningstar Angeline), Joy is haunted in a way that makes it seem like her recovery will be arduous at best.
Then, of course, Royal and Cecilia (Lili Taylor) add one more layer to her trauma, asking her to do anything necessary to prevent Autumn from tossing Amy into the hole. When she fails, she seems even more shell-shocked than she did before.
