Spoilers ahead for tonights excellent The Seed of Evil.
Theres so much that worked about tonights episode.
Not only did we see David reunited with his son, we saw Alex and Claire reunited, too.
Its safe to say that neither reunion was happy for anyone involved.
David, on the other hand, is conniving, underhanded and not at all to be trusted.
Thats not how love works, even though Hollywood would like us to think it does.
Certainly, Claire telling Alex about her miscarriage was incredibly emotional.
I for one am very glad the writers didnt take the easy way out here.
Plus it was great to see him outsmart Arika at her own game.
And because hes nobodys fool, he understands what Alex means to Claire.
Noma, too, is no fool.

Tonights episode was directed by Millicent Shelton, her first of the series.
