**"Camp"** is the twenty-seventh episode of *Servant*. It debuted on 4 March, 2022, on Apple TV+, as the seventh episode of season 3.

## Plot

Sean is showing the Turners the opening to *Gourmet Gauntlet*. Here, he reveals he had parents that did not care, he was homeless at just seventeen and cooking saved him from both of these. Dorothy and Leanne are really excited for Sean, which Julian is less enthusiastic. Leanne asks Dorothy if she really is excited and then takes Jericho out of the room. Out in the backyard, Dorothy talks with Julian, and tells him to stop sleeping with Leanne and to stay away. Dorothy is unsure what is happening to Leanne and reveals to Julian that Leanne was attacked. She also says to her younger brother that she cannot remember Sean’s debut on *Gourmet Gauntlet* last year, which Julian disguises as a lot of stress and her memory of the time being unclear., thinking it was the affects of her post-partum fog of giving birth to her firstborn child.

Back in the house, Dorothy speaks to Leanne and tells her that she is worried about her and her decision-making, and has arranged for her to see someone about it. She also reveals to Leanne that she is aware of her sleeping with Julian and Leanne asks Dorothy if she had been looking through her things, which would have been disappointing to her as when she was part of the Church of the Lesser Saints, she had no private things. Dorothy assures Leanne she has not done that, and also asks Leanne not to go near the park, fearing the people there. Leanne tells Dorothy not to worry about this.

Upstairs, Dorothy is looking through Leanne’s things and discovers Leanne’s journal. In there, she finds pictures of past events, including wasps, Dorothy lactating on camera, and the seagulls which had attacked Julian at the shore. Dorothy talks with Sean about this who tells Dorothy that she should not worry, saying it’s common for household members to make fun of authority figures in the house. He also comments that Dorothy should not be worried about the homeless people in the park, and says that TV work at the station will come soon for Dorothy. Meanwhile, Leanne goes to the park and meets someone who gives her some jewelry and beckons Leanne with her. There, Leanne meets the people in the homeless camp and they all meet Jericho. Brien sees Roscoe and waves to him. Roscoe asks one of the homeless people what is so amazing about Leanne, to which he receives a response that she is courageous for rebelling. Looking out the windows of the Turner house, Dorothy sees Leanne with the homeless people and some of them holding Jericho. Dorothy quickly rushes out of the house and into the park, pushing past the onlookers, and takes Jericho back to the house, beckoning Leanne to follow. Dorothy questions Leanne about this and Leanne says Dorothy does not understand, the people Leanne has been seeing are safe. Dorothy forbids Leanne regardless to go to the park, and Leanne says Dorothy is like her Aunt May, using Dorothy's own words against her.

Speaking to Sean, he tells Dorothy that he wants to help Leanne and he thinks they are in a good place and they should not lose that. Sean calls Dorothy and Leanne for dinner, but Dorothy goes upstairs, leaving Leanne and Sean alone downstairs. They discuss the situation with the homeless people, and Leanne says the homeless people want to learn from her. The next day, Vera arrives and in agreement with Dorothy, they recommend Leanne for dance semiotics which would involve Leanne being away for two months in New Jersey. Dorothy says to Leanne the reason they have been butting heads is because Leanne has been trapped in the Turner house. Vera has a dance background, and was able to skip the waiting list for Leanne and get her in sooner. Dorothy preemptively books a train ticket for Leanne before Leanne can say if she is going or not. That night, Dorothy wants to give Leanne the dress she wore at Julian’s birthday party but Leanne declines, saying she would not want to take Dorothy’s dress. In their bedroom, Sean says to Dorothy that he is unhappy that Dorothy did not consult him on the decision. Dorothy responds that she is angry with Sean for gaslighting her by saying things are perfectly fine in the house when they are not (an assumption that is not so far from the truth).

While listening to music, Leanne removes her old jewelry around her neck, and puts on the piece that was given to her by the homeless person she met in the park. She then begins to dance around the house, eventually making her way into the basement where under the floorboards, the water begins to bubble. The next day, Leanne is getting ready to go when Julian quickly enters the house, saying to Dorothy what a bad idea this is. Dorothy and Vera save this is not Julian’s decision and the debate is interrupted by Tobe who has arrived early to pick up Leanne. He waits outside and the Turners continue to argue. Vera takes Jericho into the kitchen, and while there Vera overhears the argument, including derogatory comments made about her from Julian. Leanne hugs everyone, and Dorothy tells Leanne she will love it. She goes outside to see Tobe and waits in the rain outside the door. Meanwhile, Dorothy goes into the kitchen to see Jericho and screams, finding a reborn doll in Jericho’s chair. saying that she cannot do this again The Turners frantically searched the house for Jericho, hearing crying in many different rooms. As they leave the basement, having checked it, the floor begins to crack. While checking the security cameras, Vera and Julian argue about what he said about her which culminates in Julian telling Vera to take her problems somewhere else. Meanwhile, Sean takes the reborn doll and a purple ribbon he finds on the stairs and begins to pray.

Outside, Tobe continues to beckon Leanne to the car and a panicked Vera leaves the house, telling Leanne she recommends she leaves and does not look back. Leanne tells Tobe to go home and goes back into the Turner house. Dorothy continues the search for Jericho in Leanne’s room, where she opens a cupboard and a lot of insects fall out, scaring Dorothy further.

Downstairs, Leanne walks back in and a panicked Dorothy confronts her, reminding Leanne what she is capable of. Leanne tells Dorothy that Jericho is in the nursery and that is where he has always been. Shocked and disbelieving, Dorothy says that Leanne is tearing their house apart. Hearing a baby crying, a weeping Dorothy runs back upstairs and takes her son in her arms along with Sean. Julian talks with Leanne in the kitchen about Vera’s departure, and Leanne assures Julian that he does not need to be fixed. Elsewhere, Sean tells Dorothy that Leanne has to stay, despite Dorothy’s protests about a "plan being set in motion." Sean apologizes to Leanne, on behalf of his wife, much to Dorothy’s shock. Leanne thanks Dorothy for broadening her horizons, though says she could never leave Jericho, as anything could happen to him if she would not be there to keep him out harm's way. Dorothy watches horrified as Leanne returns to her room.
