SPOILERS | Wunmi Mosaku and Abbey Lee on this week’s “metamorphic” Lovecraft Country

This week’s episode of Lovecraft Country, “Strange Case,” focuses on Wunmi Mosaku’s Ruby, who wakes up after being wooed by William (Jordan Patrick Smith) and isn’t feeling or looking entirely herself. The change, William later explains, is due to a serum he’s developed that can give people the ability to change into who they’d rather be, offering them the fluidity to move between lives and appearances—albeit with some degree of body horror-infused bone cracking and skin shedding. William offers it to Ruby in exchange for a favor later, and Ruby hesitantly takes him up on it, becoming a white woman named Hillary Davenport. She uses the whiteness to what she thinks is her advantage, getting a managerial role at Marshall Field’s and diving into a world of loafing and privilege she’s only ever viewed from afar. Ultimately, though, the privilege wears on Ruby, and she ends up lashing out at her Marshall Field’s manager in a gruesome, goopy fashion. Upon returning home, she comes face-to-face with William, who reveals a big shape-shifting secret of his own—namely that he’s been Abbey Lee’s Christina the whole time.

The A.V. Club sat down with Mosaku and Lee to talk through the twists, turns, and bone breaks of “Strange Case,” including how Mosaku worked side by side with Jamie Neumann, the actor who plays Hillary, to really put all that pain on screen.
