In one pivotal scene, Rhys, having been offered a job driving Category 1s to the overflow camps, looks to Gwen to either absolve him of his guilt or tell him no. Rhys is struggling to find a job, the stock market crash mentioned in “End of the Road” having caused a global depression. Meanwhile, in Wales, Gwen is robbing pharmacies (though, not taking much for her efforts), and selling the medications to her neighbors. That’s a good balance, I feel, for Esther’s character at this point, I just wish that we could have seen her progression to that place. We are quickly informed that she and Jack are in Scotland, and, while she is demonstrating a clear head – she advocates stockpiling Jack’s blood as currency, since everyone seems to want it, immortal or not (a fair point, and one I actually buy) – she also desires to run blindly until they are safe.
After last week’s cliffhanger, we deserved to see how she dealt with being lost and without a plan, Jack being injured and unable to guide her.
