## Summary

Episode 5 of *Yaga* reveals that Laney survived, having suffered cardiac arrest, while the investigation into the town’s disappearances and strange rituals deepens. Rapp suspects Laney may believe she is Baba Yaga and be drawing people into her woodland hut; a mysterious package containing a carved box, feathers and what appears to be Henry’s phone adds to the clues.

The episode also shows Henry recording a podcast with Katherine, with Logan handling the technology, and makes Katherine’s apparent hints about the mystery increasingly conspicuous. The review praises Carrie-Anne Moss’s performance and highlights scenes of unwanted sexual advances towards Katherine and Carson, which it says bring a difficult but important theme into the story. The supplied article text ends as Rapp visits Katherine and she describes Baba Yaga as a figure of power, wisdom and rage.
