I read something that sounds so bizarre....Back...when Beyond Salem first appeared on Peacock and did well, there was a Beyond 2.......and the writers were wanting Peacock to approve a Beyond 3, but 2 had not yet been seen by the viewers, so it was a waiting game for the writers, to see what Peacock would do. Well, turned out, Peacock decided to absorb the whole regular show, no more Beyond, and thus, whatever was planned stayed on hold. But the writers came up with the 3 ladies dead...or not...story, to fill the time until decision about beyond 3.......and so now, it is all thrown together in the regular show,....which mght explain why we get confused and some things just don't make sense. Sorta like taking your various leftovers out of the fridge, throwing them all together in one pot, stirring and hoping it will ultimately taste good.
