What happened when Miles thought Rachel was dead? What exactly is this apparently romantic history of theirs? Or does this date back further? And when and why did things turn sour between them? Well, I guess answers on all that will have to wait. Have at it in the comments section, guys. Meanwhile, Jason Neville is starting to lose hope too — and faith in the militia.
Killing everyone in a rebel camp — mothers, fathers, children — does not sit well with his conscience. He wants out, and he tells his father as much. Neville strikes his son. And they start throwing punches at each other.
The senior Neville, of course, gets the upper hand, striking down Jason with one final blow. He orders Jason to never come back home. Charlie brings Central Command the news of the 12 hours they have until machine guns tear through their base.
They prepare for the airstrike. Charlie watches her little brother, the one she risked so much to save, as he gets ready to put his own life at risk. Not yet. Because I walked over a thousand miles to get to you. I will never play this card again. There are a few little triumphs for the rebels, like when Nora takes down the militiaman operating one of the machine guns. Rachel fires up the pendant and wraps it around a shoulder-fired missile, which Miles aims at the helicopter that Rachel somehow knows is the one carrying the amplifier.
But a blast from the other helicopter launches Miles backwards. Or is he dead? The helicopter blows up in a blaze of fire and smoke, and with the amplifier out, the other helicopter starts to spiral downward too — but before it hits the ground, a militiaman fires out one last shower of bullets.
Four of them go right into the chest of our hero with the missile launcher: Danny. Charlie tries to stop the bleeding, pressing her jacket against his chest, but her brother is already dead. After the commercial break, we see Charlie and her mother after the battle, both sitting on the ground.
Monroe, meanwhile, is at his desk in Philadelphia. Why would you ask me something like that? Strausser, who is way too delighted and forward about how delighted he is to have two Matheson women in his possession. Across town, Neville arrives home. The major, who shortly before was so confident that Aaron and Nora would be perfect bait to draw in Miles, gets the tables turned on him. With some hesitation, Neville cooperates. He brings back Nora and Aaron.
The best Neville can do is tell Miles where they are: at the power plant north of the city. Over at the power plant, Charlie, Danny and Rachel are all back together which is kind of weird to see.
A family together? And alive? Danny is a little shocked that Charlie came all this way for him. In the room is a Locket of Power amplifier — a real one this time, not a bomb — that Jaffe had partially completed before meeting his Rachel-inflicted demise. Rachel is hysterical. But Charlie remains calm, determined to stop Rachel from helping Monroe kill thousands of people, telling her mother some things are more important than family.
While Miles, Nora and Aaron approach the power plant, Charlie goes back in her holding cell with her brother and Rachel gets to work on the amplifier. He points out that standing orders have always to bring in Miles alive.
Monroe tries to brush this off, telling Baker that Miles probably knows something about how to turn the lights back on too. Baker offers up his opinion: That it would be best for him, Baker, to kill Miles. A slick-haired Miles finds Bass sitting on the ground in a graveyard, a half-empty bottle in hand. We learn a lot here: Bass and Miles did two tours in Iraq together. Seventeen years later, Miles is outside a power plant about to ambush that same onetime-best friend.
Nora gives Aaron some pipe bombs. He waits outside, while Nora and Miles head in. Shots are being fired all throughout the power plant — at the two Matheson kids on the run, at Miles running in — while Rachel places the Locket of Power in the completed amplifier.
Miles finally catches up to Charlie and Danny, slicing through the back of a militiaman about to kill the two kids. Hey, Danny, meet your Uncle Miles! That stops Miles short for a moment. Strausser is doing more Creepy McCreepster things, so Rachel takes the opportunity to take him down.
Last week it was a screwdriver. Or did he do more creepy, gross stuff to her off-screen? Of course this is the moment Miles walks in, just in time to witness Rachel ruthlessly kill the one man he fears. Bam — she slaps Miles right across the face. If only Rachel had used her precious time left in that room to swiftly destroy the amplifier instead of letting loose a little anger on her brother-in-law, because just then Baker strides in with three other soldiers, big guns in hand.
Miles has shooed Rachel away to go get her kids. They stumble upon Jason, who's barely holding it together, but he doesn't want to leave without Charlie. In another shockingly sweet twist, Neville offers to help his son, while Miles and Nora save the girl. And only a week after ordering her murder! You really can't predict what this guy will do next. Revolution: Who should kill Monroe? Did you believe Jeremy? I love Mark Pellegrino. All Jeremy did was tell Monroe David Lyons the truth: that he was the one who pushed his friends to betray him!
But Monroe's paranoia got the best of him and, convinced that Jeremy had tried to assassinate him, the militia leader officially killed the last friend he had left. If he had only waited a few hours, he would have learned that the Georgia assassin had acted alone, and now he'll be the one who's alone. What makes you think I'm in it to help people? Rachel doesn't want to help, she just wants revenge!
As she explained, "I want to kill the man, who killed my son," even if that means letting someone else's son die and abandoning her friends. There's something really appealing I find in Rachel's ruthlessness. Maybe because it's driven by love.
Maybe because it's great to see a passive scientist evolve into a bada
