Why did Priscilla need protecting?

Ditto, it was just bad writing. For some reason we are supposed to care about this ghost girl that was mentioned like 2 times and was hardly seen, all of a sudden it's the main focus of the ending and then we are also supposed to care about Lee and her daughter? No.
It was a very sweet ending I will say that, but when the credits rolled I said "huh.. well that sucked." -

You are right. Priscilla has been fine for 450 years give or take.
Did Flora want her mom to die? Did Flora know that if she said "Priscilla said she would not kill me. So, I'm going to get another ghost to do it," that she (Flora) could get Flora to die? The previous combined with the fact that Lee had already been on trial twice for murdering at least 4 people.
Flora is reported missing (again).
Perhaps Flora knew that if she could not get her mom to kill herself - she would at least get her mom arrested again.
There still may be things that we do not know. For example, Flora's description of how Lee murdered Mason was similar to how Shelby murdered Matt.
In court, Flora shrugs when asked by the DA if she was scared being in the woods. Perhaps Flora was never lost in the woods in the manner we were led to believe.
It seemed as though Lee said "it was all for / all about Flora" more than once. Lana Winters during her interview from bed says "It is all for Flora."
I'm not sure if Flora was similar to Lana in the sense Flora had to kill a psychopath (her mother) before the psychopath killed her."
This is why Flora decides to go back to the house and meet with her mother after 2 weeks (2 weeks have passed since Lana Live and Lee and Flora at the house with the Spirit Chasers group)? Flora knows that she (Flora) will either get her mother to die in the house - or - get her mother killed by law enforcement after going missing (again).
It's a shame that we never heard from Priscilla. We were told in MRN that Priscilla wanted the killing to stop. -

It wasn't that she needed protected so much as Priscilla wanted company, because she was scared of the Butcher. Flora took that to mean protection, and Lee rolled with the phrasing to get Flora out of there.

It makes no sense. But with or without sense, that's what Flora wanted and most kids today want what they want when they want it and when they want it is now. They won't take no for an answer and if they hear they word no all hell breaks loose sooo

RM had many ideas and in creating his story, failed to properly craft a web that connected them.
If Priscilla needed protection why not have someone cleanse the land to release all the trapped spirits by some sort of exorcism (I think that was what Cricket was suggesting), than being trapped in the cycle of the blood moon forever. -

If you view the supernatural in the house as not being real (okay I admit I do that more out of force of habit rather than the show doing anything to point that way - it's clear that the supernatural portrayed is supposed to be real!) then you could consider the option that Flora was actually the one to shoot her mum. The scenes after Flora meets Lee are not "filmed" by cameras the way the rest of the show was. They are what we see, but not a part of the story the public in the show-universe has visual access to. As such, they COULD not've really happened the way we've seen then.
BUT even with the supernatural being 9000% real, Lee's death could've still been Flora's intention all along. She can't possibly have said all of that manipulative stuff without at least HOPING for her mom to react the way she did. And when Lee offers herself she barely even takes a moment to think about it before being all "oki doki". This way she'd get rid of her mum continuously pestering her with her "love", she'd avenge her father and get revenge for the public humiliation her mother's attorney caused her and she'd still not be the one pulling the trigger.
Really, when you think of it, Flora was the main reason most of the mess on the show even happened. Had she not been "missing" the first time Matt and Shelby lived in the house, the family would've probably left the estate and found safety before things spiraled out of control. This child was already old enough to know better and to be able to at least partially empathize with other people. So her running off with Priscilla and playing dumb about everything going on around her and affecting those around her, was dumb. I can understand Flora's testimony against her mother (she did kill her father, after all); but I find it a lot harder to forgive Flora for obviously manipulating her mum into a weird form of suicide (and eternal damnation). I really dislike her character right now :)) -

My question is why is the butcher still killing people on the Blood Moon when her son turned against her and burned both of them in the large fire? Has the son been locked away in the following Moons to prevent him from doing that again?

becuase the show is so pathetic, the Butcher's son killed left and right for centuries and all through the series but when it was dumb FLora's turn, he had a change of heart so the writers could spare the most annoying character of all time since she was a child. Then back to business as usual. You are not supposed to remember that. the writing was so bad. Wish they did off FLora, then we could have been spared her beep acting and they would have had to come up with a better ending. God I hope the Butcher kills whoever wrote this season
