Go To

Written By Julie Martin and Warren Leight

Directed By Jean De Segonzac

Three young girls sneak out of the house in a bid to find the mythical Glasgowman, a journey that leads to violent events, one girl gravely injured, and the other two missing. While fishing for suspects, Benson tries to separate fantasy from reality in the girl's story.

Tropes

  • Babysitter's Nightmare: Perry is a mentally unstable teenager who is said to have gone through a lot of babysitters. She ends up being involved in a crime where she tried to sacrifice Zoe, her best friend's little sister, to Glasgowman.
  • Bad People Abuse Animals: 13-year-old Perry stabs a cat to death, claiming that Glasgowman (a parody of Slender Man) told her to do it.
  • Ripped from the Headlines: This episode was based on the Slender Man stabbing from Wisconsin. Two 12-year-olds girls held down a classmate and stabbed her 19 times in order to become "proxies" of the fictional horror monster Slender Man.
