A thing going bump in the night is scary; patiently explaining what that thing is, less so.
Take, for instance, the man in the gas mask who drew the deadly line around the ranch.
To be determined if he succeeds!
Doesnt seem to be going great!
Soon, hes hanging out with McNab regularly.
Once on Earth, these Visitors, as McNab calls them, inhabit peoples bodies.
There are two types of Visitors: good ones and bad ones.
Whenever a good one lands, a bad one comes to follow it.
(This is how he was able to spray-paint a border around the ranch.)
They follow her to the Navarros, the farm where James and Ruben are trapped in the present.
McNabs spider sense is tingling from the imminent deployment of the trap, so he straight-up ditches Travis.
Carmen, whose hands are zip-tied, flees to the woods.
I cannot imagine a plan going worse than this.
RIP, Travis; you shouldnt have become friends with the crazy barfly.
If there is any left, and they can drink it, they can escape the trap.
Unfortunately, this doesnt work.
This might be the dumbest part of the entire show so far.
Luckily, the show offsets it by making what I think is a very smart decision.
Thats the sort of familiar plot that could get old quickly because the audience knows something the characters dont.
Unfortunately, Ellen has gone missing and shes not the only one.
McNab is causing trouble, too.
Maggie is once again applying her veterinary training to people as she tends to McNabs knife wound.
He needs to do all this without waking up the other assassins hidden in people.
Hes okay thanks to Olsens body armor, which he had put on, but McNab is gone.
The adults split up to look for McNab and Ellen, but they find only the latter.
Its unclear, however, if Assassin is still inhabiting Ellen or somebody else.
Im not sure when Ellen couldve transferred the Visitor inside her to somebody else.
Donald was the one who found her does that make him the most likely suspect?
In any case, Maggie thinks theres enough plausible doubt to remove Ellens zip ties.
Eventually, Assassin will slip up and reveal itself.
Nicholas, who picked up McNabs notebook, may have the answer.
Once they figure out who Assassin is, they can get rid of it … by drowning its host.
This explains why there were resuscitation instructions by the pool Travis set up at the Navarros house.
Will everybody figure out how to escape the trap?
Or, at least, will it get gory again?
I need to see at least one more body go all inside out!
He was McNab and Olsens old partner before they had a falling-out.
McNab gave Travis a little vial of goo.
Wonder if that will come in handy.
The big scary dog was apparently just a normal dog that Assassin, inside Mary Ellis, trained.
Kind of a letdown.
Episode six opens with a plane flying overhead.
Makes you wonder,How high does the trap go?I was half-expecting to see it crash.
