In a flashback, Jedikiah tells John to kill his trainer, who is now a threat. Apparently John is the only one with the required skills. It is unclear if it is Killian McCrane (Logan Dohring) or perhaps Stephen’s father at this point.
Stephen apprehends Morgan just in time to find out that she is in love with Jedikiah. As the task force trashes her apartment, Stephen lets her go.
Russell and Cara interrogate Jedikiah about his relationship with Morgan. As Stephen looks on in the control room, Jedikiah reveals that Thanatos is a nickname for Dr. Aldus Crick, a former Princeton professor. Apparently Crick oversaw research and experimentation at Ultra that was extremely dangerous. He’s now an outlaw from Ultra due to the death rate of his experiments.
Irene volunteers to come along due to her MIT physics degree. The Founder is unhappy with the current tracking of Jedikiah and the lack of apprehension of Morgan, even killing a telepath. It seems like he is also a Tomorrow Person, as he uses his skills to assist in the hunt.
Crick is played by Nicholas Young, the original John on the British series. He explains the beginning of Ultra to John, Irene, and Stephen and blames Jedikiah’s jealousy of Stephen’s father as the downfall of the organization. Apparently Stephen’s father could also stop time. Crick believes that it is impossible to stop time and teleport, although Stephen disagrees.
Jedikiah tries to get to Russell by questioning John’s leadership skills. Jedikiah almost kills Russell, causing Cara to teleport and reveal that she still has powers. Meanwhile, the Founder discerns that Jedikiah is being held in a subway station.
John takes Jedikiah and a gun away from the station to avoid Ultra’s infiltration. In yet another flashback we see John’s assignment where he was instructed to kill his mentor, aka Stephen’s father. He teleported out of his burning car, only to meet with John and a gun. Stephen’s father says he was protecting their kind as John shoots him point blank.
Back in present day, John tells Jedikiah that he lost everything that day. John shoots a round around him, serving to scare Jedikiah. John asserts his independence and is unable to teleport away as the Ultra team comes in. Ultra takes him in, but not before a fight. As John is taken in, we see a flashback where John apologizes to Stephen’s father and promises to protect his son and others like them.
What did you think of the episode? Were you surprised that John killed Stephen’s father? Do you think he’s really dead?
