I knew it!
I suspected that the psychiatrist was in on all the gaslighting somehow, glad it was revealed to us now.
Yeah I thought that too.

I feel like it was revealed 2 or 3 episodes ago. The cult was listening during a patient's sessions. And what are the odds that so many of the victims would randomly be patients of the same doctor? The victims were chosen because they were his patients.
Either he was in on it or his office was bugged/computer hacked. I thought possibly his computer was hacked by Kai and that is how Kai knew all their fears and weaknesses, from reading the doctor's notes or from eavesdopping on their sessions. That would have tied in with the real life DNC hacking, and there are other real life references.
But the other possibility is the shrink was in on it and that was fairly likely too since we already knew a cop was in the cult.
Him being Kai's brother was a surprise though.
Hmm, I don't remember this? That the cult was listening to the patients' sessions? Which episode was this in?
I think it was the one with the lady who was afraid of being trapped in a coffin or buried alive. Might have been another murdered patient.
They showed the patient talking to the shrink and then cut to Kai and at least one other person (Winter I think) listening to the session at Kai's house. I don't know if it was listening to a speaker in real time or listening to a recording, so that's why I was not sure if the shrink's office was bugged or if his computer or phone was hacked. Some psychiatrists do tape their sessions (with the poateint's knowledge) and those files would be on their computer or phone.
Listening to the sessions is how the cult decides who to kill and how to kill them, or even who to recruit. Meadow and her husband were both patients of that same doctor. I think the personal trainer guy was also his patient? So the shrink asks them what their fears are, and Kai used those fears to recruit them. The shrink never comes to the cult meetings so maybe the other members besides Winter don't even know he is in on it. They might stop trusting Kai if they knew how he spied on them to recruit them.
What struck me as weird though is in episode 6 when Allie 'rescues' Meadow and takes her to the shrink's office, Meadow was also his patient but neither she nor the shrink showed any sign of recognizing eachother even after Allie left them alone. Meadow had her secret plan that she couldn't tell the shrink about. But I was expecting the shrink to kill Meadow or take her captive again since for all he knew, she had escaped from Kai. So maybe Kai told him not to harm her and to let her go?
Thank you, I seem to recall now.
Yes, I would suppose Kai had faith in Meadow, or at least even if he wasn't sure she'd follow through, he knew she was too weak to betray him.
