Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWhile the National Guardsmen give Travis good advice about shooting the .50 caliber rifle (hold it tight to the shoulder, press, don't pull, the trigger, etc.), they failed to warn him not to put his eye against the scope. If he had fired with his eye in contact with the scope, the recoil would have slammed it into his eyebrow, bruising or even splitting it open.
- GoofsWhen holding Adams hostage, Daniel says "Ophelia is beautiful, kind and intelligent." However, when Adams replies, "Yes sir, she is," his mouth does not move.
- Quotes
[Lt. Moyers makes a joke at Travis]
Lt. Moyers: Okay, Manawa. Let's go see the doc.
Travis Manawa: What? I thought you said you couldn't do that.
Lt. Moyers: No, I said you couldn't do that. I can do anything I want. I got guns. I mean, Christ, man. The dead may be walking among us, still United States of America.

Indigo Prophecy
Excellent episode.
The thin veneer of civility that remained following the army's forcible removal of the family members at the end of the last week's episode crumbles away as the atrocities begin to pile up on both sides of the fence. Travis is allowed to leave the camp, with an army accompanied trip to the medical base but his experiences out there and the gang's discovery of "Operation Cobalt" lead them to some drastic decisions. Meanwhile, back at the medical centre, Liza discovers a key fact about the pandemic and Travis meets the enigmatic Victor, who bargains with the guards to keep him close, as he seems to know what's coming.
So the tension is growing to ahead of the next episodes season finale. Cracks are starting to show in the families. Chris snaps at his father and stepmother before having some fun with Alicia, there may be more to that relationship in the future. Ofelia finally sees the depths that her father is capable of going to get answers and the decision to torture the solider splits Madison and Travis again, until the reveal of Operation Cobalt realigns everyone's priorities.
Performances remain good and the storyline compelling. The soldiers remain stuff we've seen before, but they have added more complexity to that as some are deciding that family outranks duty at this point. The scene is set for all hell to break loose in the last episode.
