Well it's great to binge watch a show as they say cos you don't have to wait around for a week to see it and especially if there's certain bits you want to skip over in a hurry, which just weakened the show. It's apparent Wes (Barry Sloane) still has feelings for Claire (Lily Rabe) and she giving him those long, lingering glances when she wanted to get Henry (kyle Harrison Breitkopf) out of the nuclear plant. As he's now been utilized as another piece of the puzzle by Drill, this time by Minx (Kylie Rogers) who went over to play with him and gave him directions on where Drill wanted him to go. As again another request is answered by Drill, though not sure request is quite the right word to use here. Henry asks for his father back and this is exactly what happened. Seems this lockdown at the plant did nothing to prevent what was really meant to happen and Drill gets his own way.
Lots of unnecessary scenes which just chose to make this longer, not with Sean (Milo Ventimiglia) though, as Sean breaks into the plant so easily with Maria (Catalina Davis) and is able to access unlocked doors, (my typo here was unlicked doors, hmm, could be amusing, ha!) leading Wes to think he has inside help. Once inside he hands the gun over to Maria and tells him to shoot her if he does anything bad. He then goes into a seizure and she doesn't realize what's happening to him. Sufficed to say they end up being caught and interrogated later on. Sean draws on the wall of his cell, which seemed like he was trying to make a way out for himself. Wes tells him his name and wants to know what he's doing here, of course he doesn't know, only that something bad will happen.
Henry follows the clues and finds himself at the plant and Claire sees him in the area which will be flooded as the plant's gone critical and it's the only way to prevent a meltdown and a catastrophe. She wants to go after him and Wes tries to hold them off as long as possible and as she arrives there she misses Sean by minutes, only Wes sends her in the wrong direction. Isn't it obvious any exit will be on the ground level and not upstairs. She climbs up to see Henry down there and there's nothing she can do, but it wasn't a shock to know that's exactly where Sean was headed to save him, he physically closes the door. Thus preventing the water from entering. Yeah let's waste time having a reunion inside instead of getting out.
Minx is like a scary kid isn't she and a tad arrogant too. Thinking whatever she's doing and playing is just a game, but she doesn't understand the bigger picture, that it's not a game, but she says it's adults who don't know what they're doing. But Lena (Kristen Connolly) should be keeping a better eye on her, not leaving her in the garage all day, without checking up on her and was she really going to kill Grammy (Dee Wallace) well she's creepy enough to do it, with some prompting of course.
As the plant reaches critical point, the explosion and clouds from it disappear into what looked like a portal in the sky, catastrophe averted, still leaving open questions as to why , but it was meant to happen. That nuclear energy has gone somewhere for some purpose, to help some sort of alien invasion perhaps. I know a lot of viewers were having a meltdown here themselves on the story and whether to continue watching anymore eps, maybe I'm a glutton for punishment at times, but I always have to finish what I begin to watch. Besides we can't go wrong with Milo!
Jessup (Derek Webster) didn't get much out of Maria as he questioned her being there and why would she even have anything to do with what happened there. What was she meant to have been part of some secret sleeper cell come alive. It's obvious she had no choice but to help Sean, though it's not apparent why he chose her to do so, out of anyone at the hospital or if it was just she would be easy to kidnap. Though later episodes explain this a little better in her medical expertise being required and she was already involved since she treated him. Claire was on cloud nine seeing Sean back again and this was also Henry's gift from Drill for helping him in getting ot he nuclear plant and also in helping him harness the energy from the explosion.
