** This episode was actually censored for the original television broadcast due to the 2017 Las Vegas Shooting in which 58 people were killed and 422 were injured at a country music festival which happened six days prior before the episode aired. The uncut version of the episode then made available for online streaming and eventually was aired on TV.

!!In General
* ''KAI.'' Full stop. In a show filled with antagonists and villains who are boosted by their supernatural status, as a normal human he is terrifyingly real. An expert manipulator who extracts people's darkest secrets from them and uses their secrets against them, he relishes torturing Ally and quickly kills anyone who he believes is in his way, including his ''own siblings.'' His hold on his followers only makes him worse, as they will do absolutely anything for him (including ''killing themselves'', which he'll happily have them do). Even his very physical appearance can be unsettling at times. And the worst part? ''He could really exist.'' It's enough to make anyone paranoid.
