A Wolf in the Torque House
⚠ Spoiler alert This recap gives away what happens in this episode.
Episode Summary & Review
Summary
Wolf is mistaken for Torque (the Wolf in this timeline) and he goes with it, learning about the NAG, and its 6-parent families and hatred of technology. Wolf tries to escape but the appeal of this new, strange world makes it hard for him to leave.
Our Take
Wolf finally gets an episode to himself, and Josh Hutcherson’s absence is barely noticeable. The whole mistaken-identity setup is pretty thin, but watching Wolf get seduced by the NAG’s weird communal lifestyle pays off with some genuinely uncomfortable comedy. It drags in the middle when the joke wears thin, but the ending makes it worth sticking around.
