In Amazon‘s Them: The Scare’s Complicated and Scary World, LAPD officer Dawn Reeve (Deborah Ayorinde) has a strong bond with the Emory family that affects their lives in strange ways. As the series goes on, it becomes clear that Dawn’s family has a sad past that is connected to her own. This sheds light on her past and the things that have shaped her present.
In Them: The Scare, Dawn’s journey is marked by her unwavering chase of justice, even though she has to deal with racism and problems within the police force. While she is looking into a string of deaths, she finds out some dark secrets about her own past. It turns out that Ruby Emory, (Shahadi Wright Joseph) Dawn’s unhappy mother, didn’t want to have children and didn’t feel qualified to raise them. Ruby had to give up her children because she thought they would have a better life somewhere else. Before they left, Ruby gave the twins Raggedy Andy and Ann dolls, which would later become important symbols in Edmund’s fall into darkness.
Dawn learns that the sad Emory family history goes beyond her and Edmund as she digs deeper into her family history. The haunting figure of Da Tap Dance Man from the Emorys’ past comes back, bringing with him a history of pain and revenge. With his twisted call for revenge, this supernatural being threatens to trap Dawn in a circle of violence and revenge.
Dawn’s adopted mother, Athena (Pam Grier), left a black box with a picture of the Emory family inside. This makes it even harder for Dawn to figure out who she is. From what we now know, Dawn’s ties to the Emory family are deeper than blood. They are based on shared past and unresolved trauma. As a moving memory of what Ruby gave up and how her choice changed Dawn and Edmund’s lives, the picture is a powerful reminder.
Dawn has to face her own problems and decide if she wants to break free from the cycle of violence or give in to its destructive pull. Them: The Scare is a haunting story about family, identity, and the lasting effects of actions done in the past. It’s a deep and moving look at the connections between our past and present that shape our future.
