This act of cannibalism, though not explicitly shown in its gory entirety in this specific episode, is heavily implied as a sacrament. Lottie’s baptism of Van in the lake, using the water to wash the blood, is a subversion of religious purification. It suggests that the wilderness is not a godless place, but rather one that demands a new, more primitive theology. The H.265 codec is particularly effective here for the home viewer; the dark, muddy tones of the lake scene and the foggy atmosphere require efficient bit rate management to prevent the image from becoming a muddy blob. The "blocking" artifacts common in older compression standards (like MPEG-2 or H.264 at low bitrates) would obscure the subtle facial expressions that convey the girls' transition from horror to acceptance.
