This is exactly what I was afraid of!
And its not that the relationship drama between characters is filler, a horribly mis- and overused word.
(What was that conversation like?)
I know teen hormones are a lot, but girl, there are dead bodies!
In the kitchen, Maggie reveals to James that she knows he was having an affair with Valeria.
Even Ellen heard enough to get the gist of it.
Seeing as Ruben has just discovered James is fucking his wife, this seems like a bad pairing.
Meanwhile, Meryl and Nicholas are watching Arlo speed-read the dictionary.
Vocabulary sufficiently expanded, the voice inside Arlos head identifies itself as Harbinger, and he (it?)
tells Meryl and Nicholas that an assassin is coming, and they have to follow him into the woods.
The goo is a toxin, Arlo says, and they need to drink it to survive.
Maggie goes to investigate as Ruben and James come across a neighbors farm.
The Navarros were seemingly also trapped inside the blue border and they did not fare so well.
One of them, Carmen, is the unfortunate person whose corpse Maggie finds.
The rest of the familys bodies are lying out on the Navarro ranch getting pecked by crows.
Or, maybe notallof the family.
While Rubens walking into a silo and getting trapped, James is exploring the house.
When he looks into the basement, a hand reaches out and grabs him to end episode three.
The reason why Jamess captor is so suspicious is evident.
You cant trust anybody.
Hes bullshitting, obviously.
Maggie, who comes out of the woods carrying the assault rifle Donald dropped, instantly knows somethings up.
Carmens body had marks on her wrists from where she was cuffed.
When Ellen and Valeria spill the beans about Arlos encounter and subsequent weird behavior, Olsen is too interested.
He lunges, and she knocks him out pretty effortlessly with the butt of her gun.
Back in the woods, having collected the rainbow goo in a jar, the kids are walking back.
Meryl ignores Nicholass reveal, which also seems like a reasonable thing to do in these circumstances.
Before too long they encounter somebody else in the woods.
Its the masked man with the whiteboard, standing right on the other side of the line.
Upon seeing them he writes that they need to roll the jar over.
He says his name is McNabb, and that almost got Harbinger to the car and to safety.
But then Harbinger (or perhaps Carmen) ran and he lost track of them until now.
McNabb is an ally and not the assassin, it would seem.
The assassin is probably Olsen, who is tied up in the hayloft of Maggies barn.
Valeria comes up, initially confused that Maggie has bludgeoned and restrained somebody she thought was here to help.
I thought it was because you arent the good person that I thought you were.
He should not be saying things like, Dont wanna miss the fun.
Anybody find a way out of this mess?
The mess, as Donald casually put it, is about to get a lot worse.
The same sickly rainbow sheen goes across his eye and then hers.
(Assuming the characters dont decide to get another good nights sleep, of course.)
The floor is pretty high for even a cheap knockoff ofThe Thing, in my book.
Who were those instructions for, who was drowning, and why?
No jokes from Nicholas this week :(
