Haven is not likely to survive my personal ax another episode.

Every episode has some strange morphing of a regular person into a monster, unintentionally and beyond their control.

And in every episode, the monster is isolated voluntarily. But not restrained in any way by anyone in authority.

In the most recent episode, we have a woman who changes into a siren. The siren seduces a man, conceives a child, and the rapid development of the child (1.5 days) drains the man of his life and ages him decades per day. The man then dies the instant the woman (no longer in siren form) holds the baby. The woman inherited this ability from her grandmother. But... at the end of the episode, they didn't kill the woman, they didn't kill the babies. We know she cannot help killing people. We know her offspring will not be able to stop themselves from killing people. And they sent this baby off to the middle of yonder without warning anyone what was going to happen.

We isolate people who are contagious.

We lock people away who are a danger to themselves or others.

We don't just wave our hands and say, "eh, she didn't mean to kill 2 people, let's wait and see if she can stop herself from doing it again."

In my opinion, all these monsters should have been put down. Certainly the death-woman should have been killed and her babies too.
