Where this was said

Two House Fires and the Fiery Pervert

At 52:28 · chapter starts 49:40

In January 1985, Blanche calls Raymond to report her house engulfed in flames. Insurance pays out and she sells the damaged property, coming out financially ahead despite the disaster. Months later, Raymond arrives to take her to church and notices smoke from her bedroom window — she waves it off as sunlight. When they return from service, small flames are spreading through the bedroom. Raymond grabs the fire extinguisher and puts them out. In the closet: a single candle burning on the floor. Blanche, entirely unrattled, blames 'that pervert again.' Insurance pays out a second time without questions. Ash and Alaina maintain barely-contained disbelief throughout, with Alaina joking that 'fire curses just follow some people.' The pattern — profitable disasters, convenient outsider suspects, zero descriptions — is becoming hard to ignore.
