Great work! Yes, this must be significant because it happens in almost all episode, sometimes out of the blue like in this episode and the previous one. I have a feeling what we see is not what it actually is.
So.. both Leanne and her uncle coming to Turner’s house on a heavy rainy day. The day when “he” not smile down on us (per her uncle). What the rain signify?
..And what is the significant of Elm tree?
and both Leanne and Dorothy, and her uncle and Sean, use same size shoes. They’re almost the mirror image of each others. In the last scene when Leanne looked at her uncle from the window he’s looking on the ground almost like he wanted to get back “there” - in the ground. Supposedly Leanne and her uncle both were re-animated?
The dialogues that I felt most important in this episode are two scene. One when Leanne uncle told Julian that uncle has great responsibility.. “In the event of tragedy that’s when we step up. Take the child under our wing if we’re good people”. In the event of “tragedy” take “the child under our wing”. That doesn’t sound like the child (Jericho) died “in the event of tragedy. So who died in this tragedy? Dorothy?
Another one is whenJulian FaceTimed Sean to tell the uncle staying over and Sean asked “What does he know? About us? About the baby?” About “us” is the most intriguing. What does that mean? What Sean and Julian do that they don’t want Leanne uncle to know?
I think I have come to a conclusion. The baby didn't die during his sleep. Dorothy killed her baby. She probably suffered from postpartum depression and one day had a psychotic break that made her kill Jericho. She never got back from her psychotic state, never realizing what she's done. The secret Sean and Julian keep is this, Dorothy killed her own baby and they got rid of the body (they didn't want her ending up in jail or in a mental institution for life). Her "therapist" knows about it and was or is being paid to keep her mouth shut (we'll meet her in the next episodes, I think she's the woman in the trailer who asks "What did those boys tell you about what happened?).
Leanne is an angel who was somehow drawn to the Turner's, to "salvage" the family. Maybe because she probably died in similar circumstances back in 2007(*), that is, murdered by one or both of her parents. For some reason we haven't yet been told, her parents set their house on fire and they all died in it. She was brought “back to life” by her very devout Uncle George (who was already dead by that time). Hence his dialogue with Julian: "In the event of tragedy that's when we step up. Take the child under our wing if we're good people". Uncle George knows Julian, the uncle, did exactly the opposite, hence why Julian gets very upset by Uncle George's words. Julian takes it as a surreptitious threat as in "I'm going to expose what you did" or "I know what you did and I'm going to use it to extort money from you" (remember, he believes it's all a plot to get money from them).
Uncle George doesn't want Leanne in that house though, to him that family, that house is godless. They are not worth “salvaging”. They deserve to go to Hell and pay for their sinful deeds. That's why he goes after Leanne and wants her back at home to help others who actually deserve to be “salvaged”.
If this is the story though, I'm not seeing how they'll stretch it out for as long as 6 seasons.
By the way, if there are any inconsistencies in this theory, and I’m sure there are, feel free to point them out and offer your thoughts on it.
(*)I know she's on a tape from 2011 in a pageant, but she was probably already dead by then.
