Sunny captures Matilda, provoking an attack from the Widow, all while deciding what to do about M.K.
Something about Snake Creeps Down feels like the calm before the storm.
The episode starts with a dream sequence that sees Sunny training M.K.

on top of the giant wall that protects Quinns fort.
Sunny springs awake, the dream a clear manifestation of the decision still to be made about giving M.K.
up in exchange for safe passage out of the Badlands.
When he wakes up, he grabs the book that M.K.
brought to him, the one he stole from the Widow.
Sunny flips through the book until he finds a spot where a section is carved out amongst the pages.
That brings Veil over again to help treat him.
Sunny agrees, but we know hes just getting closer and closer to escaping the Barons grasp.
The question remains: Will he give up M.K.
The Widow says shes looking to train him, to harness his powers.
loses more and more of his life force every time hes cut.
While out in the woods searching for the Widow, Sunny just barely stops M.K.
from stepping in a bear trap.
Anyway, that night in the woods, Matilda finds M.K.
and has a secret meeting with him and tells him about his dwindling power.
He doesnt seem to take the pendant too seriously… that is, until Ryder leaves.
He orders Sunny to torture her until she gives up the location of the Widow.
Is she having a seizure?
Was she poisoned, perhaps during that bonding moment with Lydia earlier?
My money would be on the latter.
Down in the dungeon, Sunny is getting ready to torture Matilda, much to the chagrin of M.K.
Sunny and the Widow fight all throughout the dungeon, barreling through walls and flying around the room.
Sunny chases them out of the dungeon and into the poppy fields, but theyre long gone.
Thats not even the worst of it though.
As the camera lingers on a passed-out M.K.
Did he see it all?
Does he know about M.K.s powers now?
With the finale airing next week, it looks like things are about to come to a head.
