In comparison to the episodes so far, 'Ripe' was uncomfortably fast-paced, leaving one with vague answers and more questions than ever before.

I'm still in Wind Gap. 

'Sharp Objects' is slowly and then suddenly running toward the story of Ann Nash's and Natalie Keene's murders in its fourth episode - 'Ripe'. The secrets are pouring out as Camille Preaker is opening up to  Richard Willis and the show is inching towards giving us a clue about what is really going on. In comparison to the episodes so far, 'Ripe' was uncomfortably fast-paced, leaving one with vague answers and more questions than ever before.  

'Ripe' starts off with Wind Gap's mysterious residents waking up to another day, planning to go about business as usual. The normalcy portrayed in Mrs. Vickey's cooking skills to Detective Willis' hungover morning almost making you think that you would be blessed with one happy day, but boy! you couldn't be further from the truth. After 'Ripe' is done with you, you're going to be sick to your stomach.
