Ed Gein’s story opens on the bleak Plainfield farm under the iron grip of his mother Augusta. Episode 1 titled “Mother” shows how her fire and brimstone lessons, strict isolation, and fixation on purity shape Ed’s fearful view of women and the world. We see daily farm routines, awkward attempts to connect with others, and early voyeurism that neighbors sense but ignore. The focus stays on Augusta as the center of his life and the blueprint for his choices, setting up how control, shame, and loneliness start to harden into something darker.
