With Bonnie and Clyde still on the loose, the gang disagree on the best method of catching them. Maria continues to hide her lack of powers from her friends. Kyle has a nightmare date.

As is often the case with this show, two episodes in we are no closer to getting a complete picture, but that’s not to say that there isn’t plenty happening. The gang get together to try to formulate their next moves in a chess game they don’t fully understand, but after a brief encounter, Michael has a firm idea of exactly what to do. Unfortunately, Max doesn’t agree with him, leaving Michael and Dallas to go to see Graham Greene and see what exactly he might know.

Back at the Pony, Maria is still hiding the fact that she no longer has her visions, and is therefore struggling with her part in the caper, reliant as it is on her using them. Thankfully, she has someone to turn to and confide in, which might make it all just a little easier.

Kyle has a date with his new girlfriend, at a wine tasting, but unfortunately for him Isobel and Anatsa also have tickets, and it ends up being a double date. That’s a problem because Kyle’s new girlfriend turns out to have an unexpected tangential connection to the bank robbery, and that sets Anatsa’s reporter senses tingling. Honestly, watching Kyle and Isobel awkwardly try to steer a conversation with all the success of a paddle trying to right the course of an oil tanker is fun, but it’s also impossible not to feel for them both. Isobel just wants to be happy, and Kyle just wants to be with Isobel, but how many people would need to be hurt for that to be the happily ever after here?

Shivani meanwhile crops again in the least convenient of places, having purchased the very disused oilfield that Max and Liz have determined to be a place of interest to their ongoing investigation. Max immediately assumes the worst, but Liz is convinced that perhaps she can leverage her relationship with her new friend accordingly. Turns out though, that Shivani isn’t as naïve as Liz might have imagined.

As the episode goes on, we get plenty of surprises, a nice little twist and a hectic cliffhanger of an ending which suggests that things are finally about to get really moving with regards to the plans of Jones’ ‘Dark Triad’. What’s certain is that Jones, as ever, is at the centre of everything – even dead, it seems the gang can’t escape him or his legacy.

Verdict: Some nice action scenes blended with great character work. 8/10
