In a new Revolution promo, we see how Charlie is reacting to the kidnapping of Danny and her formulating a plan to save him, setting the stage for what is sure to be an intense, feeling-driven, action-packed episode.
The trailer begins with a flashback showing young Charlie before the blackout being asked by her mother to always keep Danny close. Following, we see present day Charlie, clearly very upset, talking to her uncle Miles. She begs, “After my mom died, I took care of Danny. You gotta let me help.”
A series of quick shots illustrates Charlie attempting to rescue Danny, with aspects of her plan that include stealing what appears to be the mysterious flash drive, jumping off a cliff, and most surprising of all, preparing to shoot none other than the warden that took Danny. We are also treated with one other big reveal: Nathan is not Nate’s real name. This is not very surprising considering he already is known to have secrets, and as we learned in the first episode, he was an undercover soldier of Monroe’s militia, sent to capture Miles.
Overall, this promo was definitely intriguing and packed many shocking tidbits of information in merely 30 seconds. Are we able to take these huge plot points, such as Charlie killing the warden as literally as they appear to be? We wont be able to find out until the next episode of Revolution.
