Who is a demon and who is just possessed by a demon?

The investigators keep running into people who are working for the dark side! Not counting the people actually being exorcised, who do you think is demonically possessed or an actual demon?

I think Leland, and one or both of David’s father’s “wives,” are demonic entities. While Sheryl, David’s dad, and possibly David’s new girlfriend and Kristen’s husband, are all being controlled to some degree.

Any theories?

I don’t think anyone is actually possessed. My gut says the show is trying to say more about mental health and psychoses than actual evil or good. Were gonna see the clergy look more corrupt in the future too for sure. They have something to do with the demon club that we assume Leland is a part of. Just my thoughts.

I don't see it with Kristen's husband. The issue is that the show is using that (if that's the case) to fuel David and Kristen..almost justify it. But the FACT of the matter is that the entire season, our protagonist Kristen has been tempted to commit adultry all season. The main characters are hypocrites who are, in their own ways, unlikeable. Leland is the most authentic character on the show.

Except he hasn't been authentic with Sheryl. Also, his manipulation of the weak-minded people he's using for his own ends doesn't speak to authenticity but rather deceit.

With the husband, didn’t catch his name, I found it odd that he just shows up at home with no warning and has apparently just abandoned the people he was guiding on Everest. Also the way he’s willing to keep Sheryl’s secret about sneaking her boyfriend in, after she’d told Kristen it was over with Leland,

Leland is certainly interesting to watch but I wouldn’t call him “authentic.” He’s a huge liar and deceiver.

"Authentic" has nothing to do with being tempted or not.

In this case the inauthenticity (is that a word?) defines the tempter not the tempted one.

Sure Leland (forgot his real name) is a great actor and all, but he isn't a good character in the show. Did you forget he tried to get the idiot who shot himself accidentally, Sebastian, to shoot up a church.
