Episode Summary & Review

Summary

In 2018, Seattle FEDRA confronts an unexpected foe. Ten years later, Ellie and Dina find themselves in the middle of a bloody battle between the zealous Seraphites and a ruthless militia.

Our Take

A busy, violent hour that leans hard on atmosphere as Ellie and Dina move through a Seattle gone feral. The Seraphite conflict is effectively creepy, and the show does a good job making both factions feel nasty in different ways. Still, the world-building sometimes crowds out the characters, and the pacing sags in the middle. Worth watching, if not quite essential.
