It just would have been nice to have a more engaging, memorable episode in which they did so.

The languid hour opens with Juliana Crain grabbing Joes files before fleeing the scene of the crime.

Hopefully, the writers figure out this dynamic soon.

It doesnt help that Juliana remains a mystery of a character.

She doesnt seem particularly traumatized or emboldened by the bloody death of Joe Blake.

Shes just, as Juliana so often does, going through the motions.

Shes all that he has left.

So not only does John tell Helen about Joes death but reveals that Joe murdered Raeder last season.

These two can have no secrets if they want to survive together.

Will he tell her about what he sees this episode in Dr. Mengeles lab?

At Smiths request, the doctor brings the traveler out of her coma, and things go predictably awry.

You probably would be too.

Perhaps taking a risk that doesnt quite seem believable, Sampson tells Ed that Frank Frink is still alive.

(And its worth noting that Frank rather quickly tells Robert.

Its very possible that decision could come back to haunt all of them.)

Ed has finally accepted who he is; of course, hes going to accept and forgive Frank.

What will Tagomi do with the information from Joes file?

Now that theyre all back in the center of the country, it only seems a matter of time.

Tagomis package includes a file on Kokumin Energy.

If you dont remember, Kokumin means people, or citizens.

Or Peoples Energy, if you will.

They could structure next season likeLost, intercutting the overall narrative with emphasis on one character per episode.

It might help with some of the pacing and tonal problems.
