Remember how Jack cut off Lucas’ arm, after the latter threw a plate of food at Ethan? Lucas takes this straight on the chest, barely flinching as his father carves him arm in half, and when we next see him later on in the game, he now magically has his arm back. Secondly, recall the dinner scene, where the player is first introduced to the Baker family after fending off Mia and subsequently being knocked out by Jack. Firstly, how did this organization just happen to have a drug on hand that could counter the effects of Eveline’s possession, and how were they able to get it to Lucas before she arrived on the scene? No one actually knew where Eveline was after the shipwreck, so it’s not as if either Lucas or this organisation could have contacted one another to arrange the delivery of the drug before Eveline took hold of the Baker family, and Lucas would have had to have taken the drug before she took hold of him, because no one in her grasp is capable of thinking reasonably. So, while Jack and Marguerite are made insane by Eveline, it turns out insane is just the norm for Lucas.īut instead of answering questions, this merely leaves me with more than I started with. Why would he do this? That’s never revealed, but what is revealed is that he was in contact with a mysterious third party, who gave him a drug that could counteract the effects of Eveline’s possession, effectively freeing him from her clutches.
EVELINE RESIDENT EVIL 7 FREE
Speaking of Jack’s son, it turns out that Lucas was actually free from Eveline’s possession the entire time, merely putting on a performance in order to keep his cover. This messy ending is fairly symbolic of the entire second half of Resident Evil 7, as the game unfortunately gets weighed down with revelation after revelation… It’s fairly obvious that Mia knows more than she’s letting on about the entire situation surrounding the Bakers, and the twist that she was actually an undercover agent of sorts wasn’t a particularly hard sell, although the game never lets up for long enough for her to properly discuss these revelations with Ethan. It was revealed that Mia had been working for a shadowy organisation all along, lying to Ethan about her occupation while she was away on a tanker ship transporting Eveline to an unknown destination in South America.
The introduction of the true antagonist as a creepy little girl with psychic powers truly felt like a let down for me, particularly when Resident Evil 7 deliberately shifts the focus away from both the Baker family and Mia to concentrate purely on building up Eveline as a menacing antagonist.
The product of biological experiments and enhancements, Eveline is the true antagonist of the game, and is revealed to be the one behind both the disappearance of Mia, and the infection of the Baker family. But let’s focus on the decidedly creepy Eveline for the moment.
