Episode Summary & Review
Summary
Lorna and Marcos capture Jace and interrogate him. Meanwhile, Reed offers to draw the police away to prove his loyalty to the mutant cause, while Caitlin, Lauren, and Andy try to save a dying mutant.
Our Take
This one splits its time three ways and none of the storylines fully land. The interrogation scenes between Lorna and Jace have some real tension, but the family subplot drags and feels like filler. Emma Dumont does good work with what she’s given. It’s a passable hour that moves pieces around without much payoff, so casual viewers can probably skip it.
