BATWOMAN 3.10

RECAP - BATWOMAN  3.10:  "Toxic"  

Ivy's on the loose, and Mary is in tow, looking to be a part of her creator's vision.  Mary feels like Ivy has found her true self, but we know better.  Meanwhile, Batwoman, Sophie, Luke, and Alice all now have to find her before Mary ends up dying at Ivy's hands.  Also, Batwoman has another problem to deal with:  she missed Jada Jet's deadline to get the joy buzzer to her to save Marquis, so who knows how pissed off Jada's going to be, or what actions she will take.  But either way, things are intensified, as Ivy still plans to carry out her plan.

With Mary now having found her creator, she helps Ivy recover and heal....and Ivy shows her new ways to use her abilities...which Mary takes joy in using on a guy named Harold from a medical insurance company who's seemingly denied folks healthcare because they couldn't afford it.  So, she delights in making him feel the pain for once.  Ivy sees something of a kindered spirit in Mary, as they head towards Gotham Dam in order to fulfill Pamela's longtime goal:  to flood the industrial district of Gotham City for having polluted the water, and causing the deaths of many people, as well as ruining wildlife in the process---things that are a no-no to Poison Ivy.  In the trip over to the dam, Ivy recounts the story of how her brother had gotten sick and died because of the polluted water.  Mary is a bit apprehensive about joining Ivy on her quest, but is willing to share a bit more of her power in order to let Ivy do her thing.  In the process, Mary is knocked unconscious, and left near the entrance to the dam, found by dam workers.  

Alice makes it to Ryan's apartment, and temporary Bat headquarters, where she informs the team of Ivy and Mary having found each other, and the fact that Mary had killed a man out in the Gotham forest.  They know that in order to stop Mary, they need to get to the one person that knows her best:  Renee.  They tell Renee what's happening, and Renee isn't really willing to give up Pam.  Alice also tells them about the Joker's joy buzzer that they found in Renee's office.  Batwoman obtains it, and ends up meeting Jada Jet atop GCPD, as Jada has used the Bat signal to get her attention.  Batwoman gives her the joy buzzer to save Marquis, but Jada gives the Scarlet Knight until midnight to give her Marquis back.  Batwoman takes off, as she hears from Luke that they have found Mary listening to the dam workers' radio calls.  Batwoman and Mary race out in the Batmobile to grab her, but she's being taken to Gotham General in an ambulance.  On the trip there, they're listening to Sophie and Renee talk about her and Pam's relationship, and Alice knows that Sophie has the hots for Ryan and vice versa.  They catch up to the ambulance, and manage to get it to stop in order to get Mary out of there.  

Mary wakes up at Ryan's and she wonders what's going on.  They tell her what happened, and they apologize to her for ignoring her, but she's not really in the forgiving mood, and goes off on everyone.  And while Alice had earlier reminded them to not mention the fact that Mary killed someone, it's what finally gets Mary's rant to stop when Ryan tells her.  Mary at first doesn't want to believe it, but Alice informs her that it's true.  Mary is the key to stopping Poison Ivy once and for all.  It's then that Renee shows up with the serum she had been taking a little bit over the years that helped build up her immunity to Ivy's powers.  If Mary takes it, then she can transfer it to Ivy and weaken her.  In her moment of clarity, she knows what she has to do, and she agrees that she'll help them stop her.  

Ivy's at full strength, and is using her power over all plant life to start ripping the dam apart, and as the cracks in the dam begin, and it starts to leak, Mary shows up.  As Ivy is beginning to weaken from exerting her powers, Mary lets her absorb all of what Mary has left.  However, the serum that Montoya had been taking was now in Mary, and is now transferred to Ivy.  Weakened enough, Batwoman shows up to stop her.  The dam is still on the verge of collapse, but Batwing shows up---despite his PTSD....and manages to push past it to help stop further damage of the dam.  Ivy's stopped and the threat is over---however, Batwoman missed Jada's deadline.  

When Ivy awakens, she's aboard a plane headed out of Gotham.  She and Renee argue about their relationship, and Pam feels they're not right for each other, but Renee managed to get Pam out of Gotham, and take her where she can be on an island paradise where all planlife is sacred----they're both headed for Coryana.  Mary is recouperating, but reads the story about the man she killed, and she can't handle it...eventhough it was more Ivy than Mary, it's still haunting her.  Ryan thanks Sophie for helping her get it together...though she's still thinking about that kiss...and it means they're getting closer.  But then Luke and Mary draw Ryan's attention to a press conference Jada is having, where she says the REAL problem behind all of these villains reappearing, is because of weapons that Batman had kept away, and somehow, it's Batwoman's fault they got out into the hands of a new batch of villains.  She demands that Batwoman turn herself in, so now she's looking to turn an entire city against Batwoman. 

This was an interesting way to draw a close to the whole Poison Ivy storyline, but there's still a HUGE remedial backlash for most everyone involved.  For Ivy and Renee---they get to exit the canvas as they head to Coryana...where they're free to have their relationship.  As for Luke...he manages to get over the issue of his PTSD, and it means that he will be able to suit up as Batwing now...which Ryan is going to need going forward.  For Alice---whatever deal she had with Renee Montoya is pretty much null and void at this point...and Ryan as told her she's on her own.  So, whatever that means for Alice, it's hard to say.  For Mary...she's going to be haunted for quite some time about the life she took---a doctor who took a hypocratic oath to preserve life, has taken one.  What this does for her, or how she interacts with her friends from here on out will be interesting to say the least.  For Ryan---well, she's got the potential relationship with Sophie....provided the two of them actually sit down and talk about how they feel.  But there is NO doubt they are attracted to each other.  But now, Ryan has to once again feel the wrath of her mother, as Jada Jet has made it her personal goal to destroy Batwoman at all costs---and that's a torture Ryan is going to have to endure, as this means that she'll have to deal with her mother AND her brother if HE wakes up and gets back to causing trouble.  Jada doesn't know Ryan is Batwoman, and I wonder if she's going to put the pieces together, or how she'll just intereact with Ryan in general from here on out.  Either way, trouble still looms ahead for the Bat Team, and who nows what other trouble still lurks out there in the streets of Gotham.

DC'S LEGENDS OF TOMORROW 7.10

 

RECAP - DC'S LEGENDS OF TOMORROW  7.10:  "The Fixed Point"  

The Legends are SOOOOO close to getting back home, but they still have one task left to finish:  getting Davies' boyfriend, and being able to take over the Waverider Bishop made and take out Evil Gideon and her android duplicates.  But first off, they're in 1914 Sarajevo in order to stop Arch Duke Franz Ferdinand from being assassinated, and preventing World War I.  That's a tall order, considering that his assassination is a fixed point in time, and cannot be altered.  But, the Legends' plan is simple:  As they go to stop the assassination, it will draw Evil Gideon and the android Legends to them in order to fix the timeline, and thus allowing the REAL time to get abord the Waverider, and unplug Evil Gideon.  But we all know what happens when this team has the best of intentions....and the easiest of plans.  

So...as they get back to 1914, the team is met up with an old man, who urges Sara and the team to follow him.  They wind up in some place that looks like a bar, where they have several other patrons---time travellers---who've also had the same idea---to stop the assassination, and change time.  Everyone is well aware of the Legends, are they are mocked by some of the other time travelling patrons for being old and not being able to stop making mistakes.  The team watches failed attempt after failed attempt, as they all got tickets to get THEIR chance to stop the assassination.  So...when it comes to Sara's turn, she doesn't get far before she fails in HER attempt.  Laughed at, she gets to try again, but she fails a second time....and a third time.  The old man who owns the bar says that time has always defeated anyone looking to try and change a fixed point.  

Going back over the film, the team realizes that everyone that's made an attempt---Sara included---has been stopped by some individual who's shown up and then disappeared off the film.  They realize that this person is the one stopping all the attempts to change time.  So, they head back to the mansion in the pocket world to see if they could borrow a part off of Davies' time machine, but he feels they can't.  That this is God's way of punishing him AND everyone else for him trying to get his boyfriend out of time.  Ava tries to reassure Davies that he's allowed to be happy, but he begs to differ.  While he'll be happy to save the man he loves, he feels it is his fate to suffer and not be allowed to enjoy his love because it's unacceptable.  But, Sara and him convince him that this can work.  So, they build this device to allow Sara to slow down time, and find a way to stop the assassination.  

Once she gets the device, the young time travellers give her their tickets, because they believe in her.  As she gets back to the assassination, she gets towards the last guy, when she's stopped by none other than Eobard Thawne.  The two fight, and he's without his speed.  She and Thawne then decide to stop and talk about how he ended up there.  Thawne says that after the Black Flash caught him....he was stripped of his speed and changed...re-educated.  And he was sent to this point to protect the timeline at all costs.  Sara pleads with him that she is trying to save time, but needs to disrupt it, in order to get the evil versions of themselves to THIS time, and be able to sneak aboard the Waverider, and take it back, thus being able to fix tings, and put  it all right.  Eobard agrees, and says he'll grant her 40 minutes to get what she needs done, but if she's one minute over---SHE has to take over for him and protect this Fixed Point in time.  She agrees, and he let's things happen.  And with the assassination stopped, they now know the Evil Gideon and her androids are on their way...as their final battle is about to begin.  

Pretty straightforward episode, with an interesting plot twist, in that the protector of the Fixed Point is none other than Thawne himself.  Also interesting that for the Legends' version of him, it's actor Ted Letscher instead of Tom Cavanaugh in the role.  I am also not sure which version of him this is, as time is now in some sense of flux (and I wonder how much of THAT will play into Bart & Nora's story in The Flash when IT returns), but THIS Thawne is also powerless, and the watch he has is what keeps him in that Fixed Point.  This also seems like the one plan they've got to finally get a Waverider again, as well as stopping Evil Gideon before she gets worse.  But as the season is drawing to a close, we can't help but feel this final battle is going to be something of a mess, and it might keep Sara trapped in 1914 forever.  We also find out there's some kind of space in-between time, or just outside of it, where time travellers convene to watch others change history.  Something Gideon wasn't privvy to, but is now.  And we know the Legends' rep precedes them, but not always in the good way, as they were mocked by younger time travellers during the episode.  But everyone comes around, when they see that Sara doesn't give up, and she gets farther than anyone else has.  We also see some tiny character development, as Zari and Spooner hang out more, and we discover that Spooner is asexual.  But their spotting Thawne in the film allowed Sara to come up with a new plan, so the team did their jobs this week.  

This episode wasn't bad, and it sets the stage for the big fight coming up.  But can our team stop their android counterparts before it's too late?  Will Sara be stuck in time forever?  We're reaching the end of the season, so the stakes SHOULD be getting higher at this point.  So...how about YOU guys?  What did YOU all think of this installment?  Subscribe and leave your comments and opinions here...

Until then....time is on our side. 

SUPERMAN & LOIS 2.3

RECAP - SUPERMAN & LOIS  2.3:  "The Thing in the Mines" 

Things have gotten BIZARRE in Smallville, and in this latest installment of The Man of Steel and his intrepid reporter wife, they are dealing with the sudden memory attacks that Clark is getting, and they're having a severe effect on him.  He's not in total control of himself, and he's becoming a liability when he's out flying around as Superman.  On top of that mess, we have Lois not only trying to find out just what it is that's causing the earthquakes in Smallville, but also having to fend off cult leader Alison Alston, who's podcast has tried to eviscerate the story Lois did a few years back, that took Alison down.  And it's also bringing up painful memories, because her sister Lucy was deeply involved in the cult.  This is where her father, Sam, needs to step in and help....but he's also worried about the national security risk Clark runs the more out of control he gets.  John Henry Irons is there to help as well, as Natalie is trying to adjust to live in the small little town. Natalie seems to have befriended Sarah Cushing quite well, and got Sarah to open up about what she did at summer camp to Jordan, who did not take it well.  Jon is wondering how his teammate Ryan got so freaking huge, and thinks he's doping, sharing his theory with Candice.  And the geologist, Dr. Faulkner, is pleased at this powerful being beneath the mines, and informs her mysterious boss about it.

Superman is just having ALL sorts of issues lately.  Ever since that thing in the tunnels has been making a racket, and the earthquakes have been happening, it's been causing The Man of Steel a tremendous amount of grief and stress.  This week, he was out to see what was in the tunnels, and he had another mental attack, and crash landed to the ground.  Lois and John Henry Irons have been monitoring the situation at the mines, and have correlated the earthquakes with everyone of Clark's mental attacks.  Sam Lane arrives, and says he's gotten clearance for them to explore the mines, but feels that if things continue to get worse, that Clark bring in Lt. Anderson on the case.  Clark feels that the team that Anderson has put together isn't capable of handling this situation.  Sam feels it's a national security issue, and Lois is quick to point out that it's a family issue.  

Things don't get better for Clark, as he's at practice with Jon, who's been doing his own digging into his teammate, Tim, for what he appears to be doping up.  He's made Candice aware of the situation, but she feels Jon shouldn't pursue it.  When Tim admits that it was Candice that's been selling him the drugs to bulk up, they get into a fight.  Clark drags Jon off, and gets irate with him, and then has another attack, where his heat vision goes off.  Jon races Clark home, and they know they need to figure this out immediately.  Clark feels useless.  To make ANOTHER matter worse, because Sarah admitted to Jordan HER secret about kissing a girl at camp, he feels that he needs to be honest with her, and wants to tell her about his powers.  Clark is vehemently against it, and tells him about the risks, but Jordan throws it back in his dad's face about his mom, and storms off.  Lois does what she can to try and settle Clark down, but he doesn't like how he's feeling.  They realize that whatever is in those mines is reacting angrily, and it's NOT Clark's emotions.  

John Henry heads down to the mines with Dr. Faulkner to see what's making things shake, and before he can get much further, she clocks him cold.  She also sets off some devices to draw this creature out.  With things quaking again, and John Henry unable to respond, it means that Superman heads to the mines to find out just what's coming out.  The creature, in some suit is out there beating up the military on site, and Superman engages it, but it soon taken down by another attack, and is getting pounded for his troubles.  Lois and Sam, who'd been monitoring John in the mines, realizes he's been immobilized, and wake him up.  He calls upon his Steel suit, and it arrives in time for him to suit up, but despite his assistance, he gets pounded by the creature as well, being smashed away.  The suit damaged, he's of no more help.  Superman manages to get part of the hood away from the creature, and it looks like a pale version of himself.  Both he and the creature suffer mental attacks, and the creature flies off....leaving Superman to try and find out where it went.  Back at home, they realize that this creature seems to be some bizarre version of a Kryptonian...himself, perhaps.  Sam still insists that Anderson be brought in on this, but Clark says he and John will handle it.  It's also at this point he does apologize to the boys, and does help Jordan with his problem with Sarah...giving him Martha's necklace that she had when she started dating his grandfather Jonathan.  Jordan gives it to Sarah, and they kiss and make up.  Clark tells him that if they still love each other after a year, then they'll discuss the option of telling her his secret. 

As for Lois---she's got family troubles to deal with aside from just Clark and the boys.  With Alison Alston's podcast seemingly debunking Lois' story, she needs her dad to get in touch with Lucy, but Sam is reluctant to take a side, and that bothers Lois to no end.  It can cost her career if he doesn't help, and he's just been scared to drive Lucy away, but not realizing he's doing that to Lois.  Eventually, he does read Lois' article, and he remembers the mess Lucy was, and he agrees with Lois, so he did contact Lucy.  Unfortunately for Lois, as she's supposed to meet Lucy to talk, Alison shows up instead, saying that Lucy couldn't make it.  

Jon wasn't happy initially when he found out that Candice was selling drugs to Tim to make him stronger, as he's been trying to rehab and get back on the field.  Candice apparently is doing it in order to keep a roof over her and her dad's head (whatever trouble they had in Central City, it appears to have followed them to Smallville).  But instead of breaking things off with her....he actually wants her to sell him some.  Jon wants to NOT ride the bench again this year...even if it means taking a shortcut in the process. 

Lana's foray into becoming the next Mayor of Smallville hit a roadblock this week, as she took the professional approach with the people in town, and it didn't go over so well.  She was unable to answer some questions, and the town STILL isn't that trusting of the Cushings, and it was a blow to Lana's ego.  Kyle tries to prop her up, and tell her it's just a setback, but she's feeling extremely deflated.  Sarah, however, comes to her rescue, and says that the problem is...she's not letting the town know the REAL Lana Lang Cushing...so she shoots a video of Lana at home, being a mom and wife, and talking about herself.  It seems to have a positive reaction, as she gets responses online.  

John Henry's battlesuit took a massive beating, and Natalie isn't thrilled about him going back out to fight these battles, but he feels he owes it to Superman to help.  Natalie says that if that's the case, they're going to seriously need to upgrade the suit.  

And finally...the creature that had beat up Superman and caused all the trouble?  It made it's way North....to the remains of the Fortress of Solitude---apparently seeking answers.  Bizarro is here.  

This episode brought on the drama, and moved the storyline about what was in the mines to the forefront very quickly.  And...surprise, surprise....it WASN'T Doomsday as we had speculated....it's Bizarro.  Wasn't expecting THAT curve, but it will be interesting to see how this plays out.  And we'll see how Bizarro got created, and HOPING we find out just WHO Dr. Faulkner has been talking to as her benefactor.  But she's bad news, and I'm hoping that John will help expose her...with Lois' help.  As for he and Natalie---it'll be interesting to see what upgrades they make to the suit in order to get him ready for the next fight.  For Jordan and Sarah, it seems like things are back on track, and Sarah coming to her mom's rescue to try and get her mayoral campaign back on track seems to have gotten on the right foot.  But for Jon....he's going down a path that's going to have BAD consequences down the road---and all because he cares more for his football career than his health.  

And finally....Lois.  While her and her dad made some headway this episode, the fact that Alison Alston showed up instead of Lucy is a bad sign.  Either Alison has gotten her hooks into Lucy yet again, or Lucy is willingly working with Alison to debunk Lois' story out of spite.  Either way, it seems that Lois is going to have to work overtime to try and get through to Lucy, and patch some things up.  Overall, not a bad episode, and while they're juggling some different storylines, they're still managing to keep things tied together as well.

BATWOMAN 3.9

 

RECAP - BATWOMAN  3.9:  "Meet Your Maker"  

Well...things for the Bat Team have now gotten MUCH worse.  Thanks to Renee Montoya, Poison Ivy is now loose again to reign terror upon Gotham.  On top of that, the team has to also still try and find Mary, who's still on the lam with Alice, looking to escape Gotham and all it's trappings.  And aside from trying to resolve the Mary/Ivy issue....there's still tension between Ryan and Sophie that's making the job even more difficult.  They need to put things aside if they're to save Mary, and with Marcus out of the way, they and focus more on the bigger threat.

Ivy returns by dispatching of two fishermen, but she's weak.  Montoya is there to comfort her, and Pam says that she's weak and needs to gain her strength back.  Montoya knows how she can get her strength back.  Meanwhile, Ryan goes to visit her adopted mother at her grave, and she lets out her frustrations and how she feels.  She can't figure things out, and doesn't know what to do.  Luke is also working out HIS frustrations about letting the team down, about allowing Mary to become what she is.  He's feeling like a liability.  So, he's working out his frustrations with Sophie's help, who still wishes she can work her own issues with Ryan.  Ryan comes in, and she kind of ignores Sophie, but they soon get to work on how to find out just where Ivy and Montoya might be.  Luke admits to why he should not wear the suit...he's not a hero.  But Ryan says he is, and she needs his brains right now to find out what Ivy and Montoya are up to. 

We get back to Jada Jet, whom we've not seen in a little spell, and she's visited by John Diggle.  Apparently, these two have had a past, and Jada mentions what happened to her son Marcus.  She thinks the Joker's joy buzzer would be the key to getting him back to normal, but since Batman's rogues' weapons have been loose on the streets of Gotham, the joy buzzer has yet to be found.  Dig says he'd have ARGUS look into it, but also knows that Renee Montoya was assigned to the Mayor's secret Rogues Task Force.  They both decide to break into Montoya's office to see what information she has.  When they get there, they discover that she's had information on a lot of things.  Diggle also takes the time to discuss with Jada about her daughter Ryan.  Jada remembers when she had nothing when she had Ryan, but sees a lot of herself in Ryan. But they do find the joy buzzer, and they also feel that Montoya and Batwoman owe them an explanation. 

There's a string of environmental crimes the team manages to track to the Gotham Forest, and they head out there, as Ryan and Sophie bicker as they go.  Ivy and Renee have also made it out into the forest.  They've found a way to send out a signal to Mary, who's driving with Alice at the time, and Mary forces her to pull over.  Alice ends up showing Mary that Poison Ivy is back, and that could mean trouble for her.  Alice admits that if Mary goes to her, she could die.  Mary puts the whammy on Alice and immobilizes her, while she goes to meet her maker, in a sense.  Pam and Renee argue about her finishing what she started, and Renee was hoping that she'd just change, but Ivy's not having it.  She plans on killing Batwoman, and then finishing what she had started to begin with, which was destroying the Gotham Dam.  She freezes Renee in place just to keep her out of the way, and she wanders into the forest to grab Batwoman and whomever else is there to stop her.  

In the forest, the trio are attacked by tree branches manipulated by Ivy, and it forces them to try and save some hunters in the forest, but they can't, and Ivy kills them.  They make their way into an abandoned cabin, and lock it down to keep Ivy out.  At this point in time, Mary is out in the forest seeking her maker, and passes out again from the mental pain.  A father and son see her, and she sends the father off by having branches grab him and drag him out into the darkness.  In the cabin, Ryan and Sophie bicker more about Renee and everything else, but Luke warns them that Ivy can sense noise, and won't be long before she attacks again.  He doesn't have enough serum to stop her, and they need to get some ice melt that's in the back of a truck outside.  Ryan suits up, and goes out to get it.  She's almost got the back when the little boy sees her, and calls out to her.  She gets him out of the way, and she dives into the truck, where Ivy attacks.  She orders Sophie to blow the truck up, and Sophie hesitates, but it's also the only way.  Sophie shoots the truck and it explodes.  The boy is safe, but Ivy has taken off.  Sophie rushes outside, worried about Ryan, but she's okay.  Sophie asks her not to do that again, but Ryan feels that with everything that's happened, dying seemed like a good way to go.  Sophie finally kisses her, and goes off to find her car, leaving Ryan speechless.  

We get back to the cemetery, where Luke is talking to his Dad.  He says he knows why he never gave the suit to Luke. But Luke also says that he's kept his father's memory alive long enough, and it's held him back, so it's time to move forward.  Diggle interrupts and says that his father would've been proud of him.  Luke hands the container Diggle had back to him, and said he couldn't open it.  Luke asked him how he opened it before, and Diggle said he didn't...it opened for him.  And Luke figures maybe that's the answer to having it open again.  It's the same container that houses the Green Lantern ring, but John's not been able to open it.  

Ivy and Renee talk, and Renee is ready to stop her.  Renee says she built up a resistance to Ivy's brainwashing toxin.  She was hoping that she'd just give up on her plan, but she won't. At this time, Alice wakes up, and heads into the forest to find Mary, only to see the man she sent off into the forest is impaled on a tree.  She's now worried for her sister, as she's now taken a life.  Mary does find Ivy, and the two meet face to face.  Ivy says she found her, and Mary reiterates that Ivy found HER.  They begin to meld their powers as the episode ends.

This was a good episode.  We see that, despite her weakness, Pamela Isley is just as strong as ever, and with her merging with Mary, that's going to complete her rebirth, so-to-speak, and she'll be hard to take down.  As for Renee, her blind faith in their love allowed Ivy to get loose, and her wishful thinking that Pam would give up on her eco-terrorist crusade was foolish.  Renee is still on the side of law, but she let her love cloud her judgement, and has let another Batman villain loose.  On top of that, she'll also have much to answer for when she's confronted with the fact she had the Joker's joy buzzer in her desk drawer the whole time.  Plus, it's interesting to know that Diggle got around a little bit when he wasn't with Lyla.  Fascinating that it was Jada Jet, but who're we to complain?  And for Luke to be looking into how to open the case that houses the power ring Diggle got back at the end of CRISIS just gives us that desire to see him as Green Lantern all the more.  Enough with the tease...just GIVE IT TO US!  

I loved the one interaction between Mary and Alice as they were driving down the road before Mary's attacks continued.  It seems that they've been able to find the sister they were looking for in each other.  And with Alice worried that Mary's going to die is sweet---but she's also worried now that she's found the dead body that Mary had sent away from her.  Now, whether Mary knows it or not....is a killer. If and when Mary becomes....well...Mary again, how this will weigh on her conscious.  But that's whether or not Mary survives whatever it is Ivy has planned.  

And finally....FINALLY....Sophie manages to show Ryan how she feels.  It took Ryan nearly dying to do it, and Ryan griping about how messed up everything's been, but it's been LONG overdue for these two getting the hatchet buried, and get this relationship in gear.  So...what comes next?  Well....getting Mary back and stopping Ivy would be a start---but I think this will make getting the team back on solid ground a start.  

What did every one of YOU think of the episode?  Are you finally relieved that Ryan and Sophie got a kiss?  Are you hoping Mary survives the Ivy experience?  And what of Alice?  Will she got to Ryan to help her rescue Mary?  And what of Montoya?  She's got A LOT of explaining to do.  

Until next time....the Signal is OFF.
