Helix continues to lurch along, looking for footing on this island of paranoia and mistrust.
Will it overcome its own ridiculousness?
Last year, Hatake was grilled: Why didnt you tell us there were monkeys?
This year, its Brother Michael, Why didnt you tell us there were super-fast zombies in the woods?
Or something to that effect.
I gotta give the abbey inhabitants one thing, though.
They have many more levels of devious conspirators among their number than Arctic Biosystems ever had.
Then theres Anne, who is trusted by neither Amy nor Michael.
Tensions are high, sure, but does anyone trust anybody in this cult?
Its amazing to me that Alan hasnt been caught yet, so transparent is his suspicion of his surroundings.

And thats how the whole episode went.
Dear, beloved Hatake returns to the show in the future timeline inhabited by Julia.
His mistrust of Julia is warranted and understandable, and Im willing to give this mystery time to grow.
The storytelling, however, is bumpy, uneven, and littered with potholes.
Or should I say plot-holes.
Hopefully, next weeks episode will move things forward.
I dont need all the answers right away, of course; but one or two would be nice.
