Quilt of Hathor: The Awakening originally aired on May 9, 1988. The conclusion was outstanding. This and the previous episode was just like one long hour and a half episode, like a movie. The sad, but cool thing is that these two episodes, the character dynamics are that much deeper than any Friday the 13th film to date. The stakes have been the highest as well. Ryan nearly gets burned at the stake, Ryan has to leave the woman he loves to continue to chase after the cursed antiques, Laura's father, the reverend, is spreading evil, etc...the list goes on and on. What I liked about this episode was even though her father spread the Devil's will, she held onto her faith at the end of the episode. She didn't run from Christianity, she continued to embrace it. Her faith was her own, truly. There's a pretty big jump scare at the end of the episode too, but that one doesn't really make much sense at all.
Before we continue on through to the end of the first season, we must take a break and return to Crystal Lake. After a year of not being on the big screen and a lackluster box office performance of the previous film entry, how were they going to bring Jason back? Better yet, after nearly a year of an anthology show bearing the title Friday the 13th (much like what Part 2 was originally going to be), how did they return to the movie series that made the franchise popular in the first place...well, we'll have to cover that next time.
