The first three had a general trend of improvement, but we're back to "meh". The story wasn't too bad and the shorter runtime helped quite a bit. I appreciate the comment on Voodoo dolls. In general the witchy lore has been handled very well in all but the first episode.

Eh, another just sort of fine story.

I do like how this series is taking a look at various different forms of witchcraft and sort of blending it all together, Familiars (which has some nice small continuity here), Fey, Vampires, and now poppets. The idea of the person creating the poppets being a hairdresser is a nice little touch which makes her influence over all of the town a lot more believable, it's a small touch, but it's fun.

The effects here aren't great, they haven't been for most of this series, but there's one moment with a pulsating poppet here that worked surprisingly well for me.

And lastly, the ending also works pretty nicely, the solution being replacing the hair that's in the poppet makes sense and is something that both feels smart to be figured out, but also something that the audience could figure out themselves in that situation. And then Hawthorne ending the story, the emotions come across pretty well, and the last shot of the poppet in the fireplace gives a very satisfying sense of closure.
