The American fantasy drama, created by Jim Mickel, is based on a comic book by Jeff Lemire. Sweet Tooth deals with people and hybrids in a post-apocalypse world.
Ten years ago, from the setting of the show, a virus outbreak caused the extinction of half of the world’s population. The pandemic also leads to the existence of hybrids, half human and half animal.
Since humans don’t know whether the hybrids are the cause of the pandemic or the result of the pandemic, some started hunting them out of fear and some for sport. Gus, the protagonist, is a half-human and half-deer hybrid who lives with his father.
His father dies when he is just nine years old, and he finds a buried box with a picture of a woman. He assumes the woman in the picture is his mom and decides to find her. But, hunters are notified of his location when he accidentally sets the house on fire. He is saved from the hunters by a man named Tommy Jepperd, aka Big Man.
Gus then follows Jepperd around, and despite him trying to leave Gus behind, eventually, he ends up protecting him. Though Gus is the main character and his journey is the focus, the series also focuses on Dr. Aditya Singh and his wife trying to find a cure for the pandemic; and Aimee, who provides refuge to the Hybrids who are being hunted by humans.
Recap of Sweet Tooth: Season 1 Episode 8
Episode seven ended with Gus finding out the secret of his birth; he is an experimental baby created in a Lab. The children that Aimee was protecting escaped through the sewer tunnel, disappointing General Abbot. It seems he wants to capture the hybrids to experiment on them.
But Wendy and Bobby get captured later on. Abbot also kidnaps Dr. Singh and his wife; and blackmails Dr. Singh to operate and experiment on the Hybrids to find the only cure. His end goal is to have the power to determine who lives and dies.
Through a flashback, we are shown the past of Jeppard. He had a hybrid baby and almost fled, leaving his wife and son behind. But, when he changed his mind and came back, the Last Men Army already took his wife and son away.
Bear also mentions to Judy how the Last Men Army captured her hybrid little sister after her parents died. Tommy finds a disheartened Gus sitting in an open field and pacifies Gus by opening up about his past and saying how the two of them can live in the woods and ‘teach each other stuff.’
Their talk is interrupted when Tommy is shot unconscious by the Last Men Army, who captures Gus and delivers him to Dr. SIngh. There he meets other hybrids, and they all share a big hug. Meanwhile, Aimee rescues and Nurses Tommy and promises to get all the children back.
The episode ends with Bear’s satellite phone making a connection with Birdie, who is hiding in the Arctic.
