Izzy. For heaven’s sake, you spent most of the first half of this series hating Levi, but now he’s family? Apparently he helped her recovery after her accident but how come she’s only just remembering it now? Oh, I forgot – character inconsistency… well, at least that’s consistent.
The existential threat at the clearing that will be resolved by some MacGyver / Deus Ex Machina skulduggery is a swarm of wasps. Yup. It’s OK though, Scott’s going to turn a nerf gun into a flame thrower. Is it rude to laugh when there are lives at stake?
We do lose some friends this episode, and it will tug at your heartstrings a little – but out of adversity, a new friendship grows.
Is James good? Is he bad? What about Kiera, and Levi? I’ve lost count how many times these people have switched allegiance. If your characters constantly have to provide expositional narrative, are you sure the story is as clear as you think it is?
It comes to a head after Gavin finds himself at the mercy of another predator, and several key players are converging for a showdown as we head into the double-episode season finale.
Verdict: The dynamics of family, blood or otherwise, can be explosive. 3/10
