Great episode, though very dark, but pretty close to the fairy tale from my point of view.
Did you have a closer look at the names? Henson, Gracie - Hansel, Gretel. Like the hungry children were attracted by the gingerbread house, the victims were attracted by the hope of a well-paid job. And at the end, the woman fell into the fire and died the way the witch died in the fairy tale.
I liked Wu playing with the words Cannibalism -Capitalism (Helljacket: That's the world where surgeons earn more money than window washers )
If you know a bit german, you would never-ever enter the "Folter Clinic" for "Folter" means "torture".
A "Fuchsbau" is where foxes live, a fox-earth, fox-hole, fox-kennel, whatever you prefer. Another weird word for a living being, nothing special.

A Waschbar (normally written Waschbär) simply is a raccoon. Monroe used the word for someone in a special age, it didn't make sense to me, too.
