No one is safe, and no one is truly secure in this ruined, godless dystopia.

The first onebetween Alex and Julianis also the most important.

Its in this way that he has been able to amass a massive army of 8-balls.

To drive this point home, were shown an actual possession.

But more on Claire and Gatess standoff in a bit.

Another important alliance is the unlikely one formed between Michael and Gabriel.

They both want to carry out their interpretation of their Fathers will.

Michaels plan involves humility and sacrifice.

It also involves reconciling with Alex; Gabriels plan is more desperate and more drasticthe extinction of humankind itself.

But to do this, he, too, needs Alex or, more specifically, his mysterious tattoos.

Either way, theyll have to go to New Delphi to find him.

The third alliance is between David Whele and the rebels leader, Zoe.

Im not bothered by this, if the show is indeed intent on pairing them up.

Its in these scenes that we get to see Briathos do some serious damage with his wings.

Still, Claire and Gates manage to survive another day.

I suppose this makes sense.

If Gabriel knew of such a place, hed surely raze it to the ground.

Seriously nowis Uriel dead or what?

If shes so important to her brothers, they need to do more than just speculate about her fate.
