As Jessup (Derek Webster) brings Henry (Kyle Harrison Breitkopf) to Claire (Lily Rabe) and Sean (Milo Ventimiglia) he tries to explain why he did it, but Sean manages to punch him. Wes (Barry Sloane) tells Frommer (David Andrews) they killed Drill as there's no electromagnetic readings in
the place and tells him they have to stop with the secrets and if this works out he can be the next president. He will think about not pursuing Claire. The research Clarie asked for comes in and there's another boy, Thomas (Jay Paulson) who had the same encounter with Drill but thirty years ago. He was in a psych ward and also in Delaware. Was it really a coincidence they were both headed to Delaware. His father, Ron (John Billingsley) tells Sean he had two other sons and Thomas killed Elliot. He worked for NASA and he discovered the first signal coming in. Thomas used to speak to Drill and he went into the woods one day and killed Eliot. Claire tells him they need help cos he's talking to Henry and he shows them some footage of the day when Thomas and Eliot went into the woods. Thomas says sorry as he goes after Eliot.
At Thomas's new place which Jessup finds is under Eliot's name, they find no electricity or electrical appliances and it didn't take a genius to figure out why! What was the point of leaving Henry in the car when he'd be safer inside, some of these moves are just so thoughtless when they know he travels through electricity, communicates through it too, so he'd be safer where he is. His door is locked and he can't get out so he can't warn them that Drill's here. It found out where they were cos of Claire telling Wes the precise location they were heading to, no wonder these adults get absolutely nowhere in this show with their silly moves and they don't think of the obvious when it's staring them in the face.
Drill gets Lena (Kristen Connolly) to kill someone for it after they play a letter game and she does it cos Minx (Kylie Rogers) will be left alone. Like she can really trust it. Minx also lying about Drill being gone and Wes is relieved of his clearance when he reveals to Frommer that Drill is still here. Thomas explains Drill could only communicate with the children when it got here. They brought him here when they carried out all those nuclear tests and explosions and created a beacon showing it the way to earth. The energy ran out and it came in search for more. He tells them it can't be the same Drill communicating with Henry cos he killed it. Just when he's about to tell them how, Lena shoots him. See no consequences or thinking about what she's doing but she's going to trust something she can't see, hear or talk to personally, to keep its bargain and leave Minx alone.
Of course it would've been too easy if Thomas could tell them how he did it. But it appears it had something to do with Eliot and killing him cos it doesn't seem like it was a real threat, so why was he killed, cos he was Drill. Still no clear answers here and that's cos there are another 5 eps left and we can just have suppositions on what's going on. With some mushy stuff along the way with Sean and Claire reminiscing about the hotel room they were in two years ago and got food poisoning. Still Minx gets away with so much and is the one Drill relies on, she's lied, manipulated and everything else under the sun. A pity Lena didn't heed Wes's warning to take Minx away where there's no electricity and Claire and Sean didn't think about the electricity on the streets. How easy was it for Lena to get away with shooting Thomas. She may wrestle with her conscience but she too has taken that step now and can't undo it, it's what Thomas tells Michael in the next ep, he's lost his innocence and there's no going back. Even if she did it for Minx, like I said, there was no guarantee Drill will leave her alone or the others. Yet Thomas killed Drill No 1 and was sent to a psych ward for it and it wasn't even his brother.
