Amazon’s ‘Them': We Have to Talk About That ‘Cat in a Bag’ Scene The most disturbing scene in the horror series comes in the fifth episodePhil Owen | April 16, 2021 @ 9:30 PM Amazon Prime Video ( Below are details spoilers for “Covenant I,” the fifth episode of the horror series “Them” on Amazon) Halfway through the first season of Amazon Prime Video’s “Them,” we finally start to get some answers about what’s really going on in this story. That’s because this episode is all flashbacks exploring, essentially, how the Emory family ended up where they are. We start with a pretty lengthy rundown on redlining and other methods of housing discrimination — and see how the deal they made on their house in East Compton is hugely predatory. And we also get the story of why the Emorys moved to California thanks to the horrifying “cat in a bag” scene.
