Episode Summary & Review

Summary

David learns how to maximize his power from an unlikely source; Maddie and Ellen find out they aren’t alone; Cary questions the plan; Caspian gets closer to Hannah and the truth; Chanda seeks revenge.

Our Take

This is the episode where the show’s big ideas really start to pay off, and the pacing finally matches its ambition. The revenge thread is genuinely tense, and the quieter character moments land better than expected, though Caspian’s storyline still drags a bit. A strong midpoint hour that rewards sticking with the slower early episodes. Worth your time.
