Ambiguous Situation | |
| Deadtime Stories (MTV) / int_1f6983f7 | comment |
Ambiguous Situation: The neighbors in regards to the fact that the little girl transforms into a spider-monster. Were they killing their daughters to prevent them from becoming monstrous? Were the parents just doing what they can to prevent people from finding out the truth? And more importantly, who exactly is the true evil one out of the family? | |

Through the Eyes of Madness | |
| Deadtime Stories (MTV) / int_5d5cc3fd | comment |
Through the Eyes of Madness: Maybe, maybe not... It likely hinges on just how actually insane Ebola is, and if her parents' reactions to said purported insanity have a basis of truth to them or are simply them being abusive jerks to their daughter. | |

Or Was It A Delusion?: After returning home in the end of the pilot, Ebola questions whether what she saw was a delusion or not, then asks her reflection if any of it was real. | |

Abusive Parents | |
| Deadtime Stories (MTV) / int_b11ac9f5 | comment |
Abusive Parents: Not only are the neighbors physically abusive and neglectful to their daughter (or are they?), and may or may not have killed their other two, but Ebola's parents are completely dismissive of her own worries, and bring up the fact she was diagnosed as insane in order to demean her further. To say nothing of naming her "Ebola"... | |
