Y’all, can someone please pass the biscuits and the holy water? Because I just watched an episode of Mythic Quest that made me clutch my pearls so hard I almost snapped the strand.
Pull up a chair and pour yourself a tall glass of sweet tea, because today we’re dissecting an episode that didn’t just flirt with chaos—it took it to dinner and proposed. Apple TV’s Mythic Quest, Season 4, episode “Second Skeleton,” isn’t just a quirky tech-world satire. No ma’am. It’s a full-blown spiritual dumpster fire masquerading as ‘comedy’.
The very first line of dialogue? “Let’s kill God.” Yes, really. This sets the tone for the overtly demonic programming to follow.
Let’s Set the Stage, Darlin’
The episode opens like a feminist brunch where someone spiked the mimosas with existential dread. Poppy, our resident girl boss, finds out she’s pregnant. Does she get happy clapping or a squeal of delight- of course not. This is a war on God and don’t you forget it.
Poppy, despite the show’s anti-family agenda, initially acknowledges pregnancy as a miracle and shows no desire to abort it, stating, “Right now, at this moment, I’m building a teeny tiny second skeleton in my body. That’s reason enough to keep it, right?” This is an undeniably beautiful and awe-inspiring thought—until her business partner coldly replies: “No, it’s not.”
And just like that, Poppy, instead of standing firm in her instinct, weakly parrots: “Right.”
Excuse me?! Girl, blink twice if you’re being emotionally held hostage by a tech bro with a messiah complex and a podcast.
This scene is designed to normalize abortion—to make women feel that their perfectly natural emotions of awe and connection to their unborn child are somehow irrational or trivial. Even calling the baby a “second skeleton” evokes an image of death, subtly reinforcing the idea that the baby isn’t really alive yet. This is intentional. Hollywood isn’t just anti-family; it’s actively pushing a satanic worldview that treats life as disposable.

When Motherhood Becomes a Beta Test
Poppy starts questioning if she’s ready for motherhood. Totally normal. Totally human. But instead of reassurance and a casserole, Ian offers her… a virtual baby simulator. Like she’s testing out a new recipe on The Sims. I’m sorry, but does Apple TV need to be rebooted?
Then comes the part where I almost threw my monogrammed dish towel at the screen. The simulation has her juggling a restaurant job while caring for this fake baby. And Ian yells: “Fry that baby!”
And what does Poppy do? SHE. FRIES. THE. BABY.
Yes, it’s animated. Yes, it’s satire. But humor that treats infant harm like it’s brunch banter? That’s not funny. That’s training desensitization, darling. And no, you don’t get to blame “dark comedy” when your punchline is a flaming diaper.

Your Job Is Not a Baby (And It Never Will Be)
And if you thought it couldn’t get any colder, Ian finally reveals his real motive: he doesn’t want Poppy to have a baby because it might (gasp) interfere with their work project. He even calls that “the real baby.” Oh sweet pea. No.
Your job won’t toddle into your room at 6am to say, “I made you a drawing!” It won’t call you “mommy” or kiss your forehead when your bones start creakin’. You know what your job will do when you’re 65 and inconvenient? Replace you with a 27-year-old with fewer opinions and a better Instagram filter.

The Pep Talk From Hell
As Poppy spirals, she asks one heartfelt question:
“Can you just tell me I’ll be a good mom?”
And the response?
“Oh sweetie, you’re going to be a terrible mom.”
Cue the screeching halt. That’s not satire. That’s emotional sabotage wrapped in a snarky script. Because, of course, the character delivering this smut goes on to explain how every mom makes mistakes, but honey- you only get one chance to make a first impression and that first line says it all.
The message? That women are better off childless. That motherhood is weakness. That babies are distractions, not destinies.

Let’s Get Real, Y’all
This episode isn’t just entertainment. It’s a sermon—just not the kind that feeds your soul. It’s a Hollywood anti-hymn to motherhood, dressed up as “dark comedy,” and too many are eating it up like it’s a self-care snack. Spoiler alert: it’s spiritual junk food.
Birth rates are plummeting. Depression’s spiking. And all the productivity hacks in the world can’t fill the God-sized hole left when you trade legacy for LinkedIn clout.

If You Didn’t Get the Hint, Here It Is… Don’t Fry the Baby
Motherhood isn’t a bug in your operating system. It’s not a failure of ambition. It’s a calling. A high one. And no screenwriter, no tech god, no nihilistic CEO gets to overwrite that truth.
So next time some soulless storyline tells you to “fry the baby”? You look it dead in the eye, fix your lipstick, and say:
“No thanks, sugar. I’m raising mine with love and grace, not flames.”
Anyway, time for this Byrd to fly. Bye Bye Now.
