The best part of this episode is that none of the cooperation erases the damage between these people, Walker can use Bernard and still despise him, Sims can protect Juliette and still remember what she did to his family, Juliette can take help from both men without trusting either one, and even Bernard can explain the pressure Camille is under and might even predict her moves since its all based on a protocol, he has been on that kind of heat before so he knows the role.
Such a great episode because Bernard gives her a way back to the truth and gives the plot someone who can push back on Camille, but the ending alone is not enough, next episode has to actually use him, explain who helped him, show what Sims wants, and get Before Times to stop circling the same danger, but knowing tv series, they just wont, they know they got us hooked so it wouldnt surprise me if we get a filler episode next. This episode finally feels focused and the season needs to hold onto that instead of turning Bernard into one more secret it refuses to explain.
This episode drags in a few spots and the Daniel and Helen side of the story needs to give us more than missing evidence and scared faces. Even after all this small problems, the episode ends in a much better place than it started, Lukas is alive, Juliette is paying for her reckless search, Billings has a new mystery and Camille has crossed a line that is hard to explain away. I give this episode a strong 7.5/10, I know it might be boring for others but I do like the investigation work and the risks taken here, even when some are just too dumb.
I am giving this episode a very 8/10, because it delivers some crucial answers about the memory drugs while setting up a sense of silent panic around getting that vitamin compound into the water before things spiral down any further. Towards the end its going to be a battle between the Algorithm and humans, and honestly I do think there is someone behind all this and not just an algo.
I love how they are expanding the universe beyond the concrete walls with political secrecy in Washington that is a step into the direction at the origins of the Silo world, even though the show still has not confirmed what caused the toxic wasteland outside
