As far as Reggie is concerned, he left Palmer and that crazy world behind and wants no part of Setrakian’s quest to save the world and destroy the Master. Fitzwilliams agree with her? Uh, no, not so much. But, tonight, she shocks us all, including Abraham, when she suggests locating Fitzwilliams, which turns out to be a pretty damn good idea.īut, does Mr. But, now, that has been put on the backburner, and all that’s left is a girl that is very annoying and doing not much more than distracting Vasily. The hacking was cool in season 1, primarily because I’m a computer geek myself. Yes, I know my tone gives me away, but yeah, I’m not a big fan of Dutch Velders. Shocker of the night - Dutch actually makes herself useful! Well, raise my rent, it’s a miracle. And, tonight, the 2 sides meet for the first time. To Abraham and his team, this man could be the holy grail. After all, he had worked for Palmer most of his life, knew all the details of his dealings with Eichhorst, and all the steps he took to insure the Master’s arrival in New York City. Really? For me, it couldn’t have been more obvious that Reggie would be back and that he would ultimately play a big role in the story. I was actually very amazed last week when I saw so many people scratching their heads and not understanding why the writers would ever bring back Mr. This is going to backfire in a big way, I just know it. Is it just me, or does that sound like a really bad idea? The drug’s not even ready yet, and I don’t think it’s wise to just take off and leave Zack (Max Charles) with Kelly (Natalie Brown) and her children of the corn on his tail. But, no, Eph counts the entire mission a success and wants to go straight to Washington D.C. So, what now? It sounds like Eph and Nora have more work to do and should head back to the lab. That totally sucks, but we do get a pretty cool scene of a group of strigoi leaping to their deaths. And, now, the really bad news - the Master retaliates by forcing any infected strigoi to kill themselves. Bad news - it kills quickly, way too quickly, which will limit the transmission. The good news - yes, the strigoi disease is spreading. Next step is to come back the following night to see if the rest of the strigoi in the nest had been infected. No sign of the son, but he does find a nest at the deserted mental hospital, and so, for now, Eph and Nora’s job is done. McGeever ends up at the sanitarium where his son, Evan McGeever, had been institutionalized. Well, we all remember that the McGeevers had a son, right, and that he was “special needs.” That being said, it’s not surprising that Mr. This part is kind of stupid because it appears that even Eph, Nora and Fet (Kevin Durand) have forgotten strigoi rule #1 that we learned in the Pilot - the strigoi seeks out their loved ones. Everyone expects him to go straight for the nest, but of course, he doesn’t. McGeever fully turned and infected with Eph and Nora’s new plague potion, he’s released in Red Hook and near one of the biggest known strigoi nests. Well, tonight, the Master finally shows his hand. While he may not be able to locate Eph and Nora and their secret vampire lab, the Master can still see what they’re doing, and I’m sure he’s been plotting his counterattack since the McGeevers first walked through that door. There were going to be speed bumps along the way, with the biggest one being the Master. Wipe out the strigoi, go home, series over. While I have been super-excited ever since the idea of “infect the infected” was first conceived, I also knew it wasn’t going to be that simple. Fitzwilliams (Roger Cross) emerges as an unlikely ally for Team Abraham. In the meantime, Eph (Corey Stoll) and Nora (Mia Maestro) have moderate success in the 1st trial run of their strigoi “plague,” and with years of intel on Eldritch Palmer (Jonathan Hyde), Mr. Just wondering around, trying to find his way. Vaun’s protege finds himself pretty much back to where he started - no home, no family, no nothing. While the episode didn’t offer the closure that all of the sun hunter fans had hoped for, the focus tonight was on Gus (Miguel Gomez), nevertheless. CR: Michael Gibson/FXĪfter the shocking turn of events in last Sunday’s episode and the deaths of the hooded fan favorite, Vaun (Stephen McHattie), and his SWAT team, I had wondered where the writers would take us next. THE STRAIN - “The Silver Angel” - Episode 204 (Airs August 2, 10:00 pm e/p) Pictured: Miguel Gomez as Gus Elizade.
