[Spoiler Alert: The following review discusses key plot details from episode 6 of the second season of Mr. Mercedes. Proceed at your own risk!]

We're just past the half-way mark of season 2 of Audience Network's 'Mr. Mercedes' and the thrills and chills have started to pile up in the Stephen King screen adaptation. While the show still manages to keep returning fans from the previous season interested, it does seem at times that the writers and showrunners are clutching for straws when it comes to explaining Brady's newfound bodysnatching powers.

The sixth episode, titled 'Proximity', brings us another inch closer to the soon-to-come climax that will be the second face-off between Bill Hodges (Brendan Gleeson) and Brady Hartsfield (Harry Treadaway). The episode opens with a dream sequence - actually a dream within a dream - in which Brady for some odd reason has Hodges' "procreational digit" tied to a string.
