Episode Summary & Review
Summary
Cole’s search for information about a mysterious organization known as the Army of the 12 Monkeys leads him to a mental institution in 2015, where there’s a patient who holds the key to the plague that will destroy the world. Meanwhile, Dr. Railly risks her life and disrupting the course of history to help Cole.
Our Take
A middling follow-up that leans hard on the asylum setting, which gives Aaron Stanford some good paranoid material but drags whenever it lingers. The Railly subplot picks up steam late, and the ending lands a decent hook. Watchable, but it mostly marks time until the bigger threads kick in.
