I think she sent Batroc under false pretenses - revenge on Falcon - to get Karli or at least stop her movement.

they fucked up by always having to act like the smartest person in the room.

There was one scene in Chapter 1 where I was genuinely creeped out by him and that was when they were watching the slide show. The way the mom morphed into him and the way he popped out was pretty freaky.

So many of King’s ideas work so well on paper because he knows how to set a scene better than anyone, and the way he describes things is just so *chef’s kiss* superb and really activates your imagination.
