The Japanese Americans are forced to undertake a humiliating exercise that divides the community, Chester comes face to face with a man who makes him question his very nature, and Luz has to make decisions following her loss.

After the high drama and tragedy of episode four, we’re afforded a little breather to recover ourselves, though not for long. Chester, far from home is stricken with guilt and anger that he wasn’t there when Luz needed him, while she has become a phantom in white, seeing her babies reflected in the water. It’s a horrific image watching this once vibrant young woman suffering from depression, and thankfully her father is able to get her out of the camp.

Chester is meanwhile interrogating a Japanese POW in Guadalcanal, realising that his alleged ‘demonic possession’ is all an act. The two eventually bond over baseball and Chester gives him an honourable exit, by allowing him to perform hara-kiri. But what seems like a fairly horror-ight episode changes gear when he’s kidnapped by a possessed in the closing minutes. Trapped in an over-turned jeep, he can only recoil in terror as a decaying Yuko cracks and contorts her way out of a duffle bag and suggests that they go home. What an ending!

Verdict: Another solid episode that refuses to pull away from the consequences of war and paranoia. The focus on the ‘loyalty questionnaire’ in the camp will have serious repercussions, and for the first time, Chester is fully in Yuko’s sights. 8/10
