Episode Summary & Review
Summary
When Karnak helps Jen against Reno, she’s badly wounded. The Inhuman has no choice but to turn and fight despite his lack of powers. Meanwhile, Gorgon searches for his cousin, and Auran takes Evan and Sammy hostage to force Black Bolt to return to them.
Our Take
The Karnak material is easily the best thing here, giving the show its first genuinely tense fight sequence and a reason to care about a character who’s mostly moped around until now. Everything back in Hawaii still drags, with the hostage plot moving at a crawl. A mixed hour that earns its rating, worth it for the final stretch alone.
