One of Our Senior Realtors Has Chosen to Retire

Episode Summary & Review

Summary

After the Burkes’ clash with Sheriff Pope, they head back into town to discover that Ethan has been named in a new leadership role in Wayward Pines. With his new role, Nurse Pam tells Ethan he must call a reckoning for Peter McCall, a “traitor” who painted graffiti on Main Street. Meanwhile, Ben goes to his first day of school at Wayward Pines Academy, where he gets private tutoring from teacher Megan Fisher and Theresa is offered a job as a realtor.

Our Take

A middling hour that spins its wheels while setting up bigger questions. The reckoning subplot delivers some genuine tension, and Melissa Leo clearly has fun playing Pam’s cheerful menace, but Ben’s school scenes drag badly and feel like filler. Worth watching if you’re already invested, but it won’t win over anyone on the fence.
