With his wife dead and Reed turning everyone on the team but Justin against him. Luther has to enlist some unlikely assistance from both Alice and Mark. On the run, and looking for a way to exonerate himself and punish Reed for what he’s done, Luther’s choices bring his innocence further into question, and a confrontation with Reed turns out far from the way he’d planned it.
My Thoughts:
Someone needs to slap Rose straight across the face. I have no idea how she – or any of them, really – could believe Luther capable of killing Zoe. Good on Justin for trusting the man. And good on Schenk for looking past what was being put in front of him. Also, I’m really pleased with the growth in Mark’s character – he started out the show, hating Luther (or at least extremely disliking him) and now he knows enough of the man to realize he could never kill his wife.
The pacing of this episode is kind of amazing. It’s exhilarating but not so fast paced that you get lost in what’s going down. And just when you think the stakes couldn’t get any higher, there’s one more thing added to the precarious stack and you’re certain it’s about to topple.
The ever quickening descent into madness for Ian reed is kind of delightful. What started in the previous episode has quickly devolved into pure terror at being caught, and it’s making him jumpy. I really enjoy when a character can put the antagonist on the ropes like this… but no one else understands how mental he is.
I do love Luther, Alice and Mark as a team. I really hope they find a way to work together again. Also, I was not expecting Alice to kill Ian. But I am happy there was a small amount of closure to this season (though this was technically a cliff hanger).
I am really happy with Alice’s progression through the series. She’s not what I expected, and I think that makes me like her more…
