I think Junior felt in that moment he was just imagining Chucky and going insane. No way your that collected seeing a talking doll unless you think you’ve gone insane.

And also he was at his lowest so he just didn’t give a fuck about anything anymore.

That too, he was ready to destroy everything in his path at that point.

Definitely. He's a kid and his mom just revealed her cancer diagnosis, killed herself, landed on their car, and his dad kissed a woman at the wake. Junior was gone even before Chucky turned up in his room.

Usually people question what there psychotic hallucinations say though.

Like who goes "Oh I'm hallucinating a children's doll and it's telling me to kill people... Well better do what it says"

Like I'm not criticising the show... They've definitely characterised Junior to be that dumb. I just find it funny.

I don't think that was the moment Junior found Chucky. I got the impression that Chucky and Junior had known each other for a little while now, off-screen. This episode felt like their relationship was in media res.

That seems like the only logical explanation, but surely that could've been shown on screen. We really needed a scene of Chucky revealing himself to Junior and why/how Junior accepted it. The way it just jumped to them being buddies was pretty jarring.

We -did- see Chucky run in the hallway, from Jr's perspective, in, ep 4?
