You.

I wanted to see you again.

And that wouldn't have happened
if I pulled the trigger.

I don't wanna leave tonight.

Then don't.

Gotta admit, I wasn't sure you'd show.

Me, neither.

It's not 'cause of you.

It's just 'cause of this place.

It can take some getting used to.

Sometimes, it feels normal,
and sometimes...

it feels like a prison.

[CHUCKLES] Oh, man.
If my dad heard me say that.

- Your dad?
- Oh, yeah.

I'm sure I'm just a big
disappointment to him

for not being all in on the m*llitary.

But whatever. Enough about me.

What's going on with you?

Wait.

Is your dad in the m*llitary?

Yeah. Yeah, he's Major General Beale.

I thought you knew.

DENNIS: Just wish I'd known sooner.

HUCK: Yeah.

I wish a lot of things.

I should go.

♪

I'll talk to the others,

reach out as soon as we have a plan.

♪

Guess we got some sh*t to talk about.

♪

LEO: We're working to stop the monsters

and to save people from
turning into monsters.

But we need to save ourselves
from that fate first.

The nonaggression pact we struck...

I'd like your word that
you'll continue to honor that.

IRIS: There's a lot that could go wrong,

but we do whatever we have
to do to make sure we win.

I'm concerned Dr. Bennett is not
keeping quiet about what he knows.

- Want me to sniff around?
- Well, we're way past that.

Initiate full facility lockdown.

Eventually, the rat will get tired.

But the dead won't.

Not ever.

NEGRETE: Lyla is a very complex person.

You know, she has done horrible things

that I think that she has
a lot of guilt about.

Standing by to proceed
with exposure to trial . .

NEGRETE: We see Barca starting
to get to her a little bit.

And it's that mantra that she has,

that she has to tell
herself over and over.

LYLA: This is how we have tomorrow.

NEGRETE: That's what
gets her through it.

It's that reminder

that despite the horrible
things that she's done,

it's all for a greater purpose.

And as long as she keeps
her eye on that purpose,

in the end, it's all worth it.

JADIS: You got strong feet.

I can see them from here.

The thing I love about Jadis

is even though she is a
villain in our season,

there's something about her
that she likes to poke at people

- to see how they'll react.
- Look at those clompers.

You could skip through
a rock pile with those.

In a way, that's what
she's doing with Silas.

Even though she's in the m*llitary,

her thought process and
the way she does things

isn't so conformist,

and I think that she sees
that Silas is different

the way she is.

Do you think he would
make a good soldier?

Maybe.

- He could be.
- I agree.

I think that, you know, she's
always playing a game of chess.

She's always thinking five steps ahead,

and maybe there's something
with Silas she sees

that maybe she can use someday.

Where was the breach?

From an area that houses
sensitive research material.

That's why I called you here.

You've been apart from this place.

That may help me see some
things that others may miss.

Huck is really walking a serious
tightrope in this episode.

She's no good to our group

- if she exposes herself.
- Something valuable is missing.

I need to know if someone took it.

And I need it back.

I'd like to see if you
can help me with that.

The question is, can
she get through this

in a way that doesn't show

that she's kind of been
on our group's side,

that she knows more about
this vial than she's let on?

But at the same time, she
doesn't want to expose Leo.

And she knows that Leo
wasn't directly responsible,

but he's involved with this.

It's really, really a tricky
situation for Huck,

and as she's trying to navigate this,

I think she has no idea how
she's gonna get out of this.

There wasn't another choice.

Do you actually trust her,

- after everything she's done?
- Of course I don't.

This argument that Hope and Iris have...

it's really the most intense argument

we've seen them have,

where they are not on
the same page anymore.

Why is it you are so willing

to give everyone here
the benefit of the doubt?

- Ever since you got here...
- Iris, that is not fair.

She let an entire city die
and did nothing to stop it.

I'm not saying that I want to trust her.

For Hope, she's coming of a
place of "We need to do this,

because Dad's life is on the line.
We have no other choice."

But for Iris, she sees Hope
as drinking the Kool-Aid,

and Iris is feeling in this moment
that she doesn't trust her.

Run.

So when everything starts to go wrong

and it's like their whole worlds
are closing in on them,

it's really them together
against the CRM.

[WALKER GROWLING]

At the end of the day,
they're still sisters,

and they still love each other,

and they'll still have
each other's backs.

So that's really what
that moment is about.

I, uh, wanted to let you know
I found the missing vial.

Where'd you find it?

Dr. Bennett stole it.

Leo was stunned

when it appears that she throws
Leo under the bus for a moment.

But what we realize
that she's really doing,

in her eyes, at least, is saving him.

You can't hurt him.

He's too valuable. We need him.

He can help with Project Votus.

And in order to protect himself
and his family and Felix,

he has to go along with it

as much as he wants nothing
to do with this Project Votus,

which has led to the death
of so many people.

With Dr. Bennett's help, our chances...

Dr. Bennett will not
be helping you, Doctor.

Jennifer, remove the TS's restraints.

- Sorry?
- Do it, Jennifer.

NEGRETE: It's ultimately
such poetic justice

for Lyla to be k*lled by Barca.

We see her k*ll him with this gas.

At the end of the day,
that her own experiment

is the thing that kills her.

Please don't do this! Please! Please!

[SCREAMING]

"The rat will eventually get tired,

but the dead won't."

Couldn't have put it better myself.

NEGRETE: We imply that
Jadis somehow heard.

Maybe there are recordings
in that lab we don't know.

So it really is everything coming
full circle in that moment.

Please help me! Please help me!

[SCREAMING]

That bloody hand against the glass...

it's such an iconic just
horror-movie staple.

You know, for a show that, you know,

felt a little lighter last season,

it's an indication that we're going

towards a much darker place

as we get into these final episodes.

Another tragic accident,
but these things happen.
