SUNDAY: Like an early Halloween treat, the second season’s finale of TV’s boldest supernatural thriller delivers a smorgasbord of shocks—starting with the title card (“C Is for Cannibal”). Yes, cannibalism is on the docket, mere days before David’s (Mike Colter) ordination as priest, as the case of a med student with a macabre craving leads to some of the team’s most unnerving encounters with (what else) pure evil. Sister Andrea (the great Andrea Martin) counsels David, “The closer you are to God, the more good and evil has corporeal presence.” Not what he wants to hear, even as his prayers are interrupted by memories of his sex-addict past. But it’s Kristen (Katja Herbers) who’s hurtling toward the most shattering emotional breakthrough, after she clashes memorably with the diabolical Leland Townsend (Michael Emerson), who’s somehow convinced the church to welcome him as a consultant.
