The nice thing about having such a short watch-list this week? I can ramble on as much as I want! Long post for just two shows. Enjoy!
Almost Human
Dorian is worried when he finds Rudy has been working on his circuitry while he was just supposed to be charging. Rudy is acting incredibly guilty about it, but Kennex seems to believe him, so he and Dorian let it go for the time being.
John and Dorian head out to investigate a murder of a couple who have been receiving death threats for the past year. They live in a smart house, where a bot acts as valet, but the house that was supposed to be keeping them safe is also what ends up killing them.
The house system gets hacked and the bot as well, so the wife gets trapped under the swimming pool cover with no air and no escape, and the husband has to break the window from inside the house to get out and try to save her. However, the security system won’t recognize him and puts a couple of bullets through him on the property, as if he were an intruder.
Having had my tech fail me this weekend, I can see why such a house could be dangerous!
John and Dorian interview the bot, whose systems are all back to normal – as he’s the one who called 911 to report the deaths of the homeowners – but all the information the house might have recorded during the time of the hack has been erased. The closed circuit video, and any other traces of the hackers is gone. All the bot can give the detectives is an incredibly long list of suspects featuring all the death threats the couple received.
Dorian, meanwhile, is still preoccupied with what Rudy may have been doing to him while he was supposed to be charging. Considering the incident with the psycho-killer bot and Nigel Vaughn, I don’t blame him for being suspicious. Especially since Rudy seemed to be a little too interested in and admiring of Dr. Vaughn. After a while, Rudy tells Dorian how he used to wake him up, back while he was decommissioned, and they would have chats and keep each other company, but Rudy erased those conversations when Dorian was reactivated for duty. Dorian, sweetheart that he is, asks for those conversations back, if they’re still around somewhere.
The big question raised this week has to do with some memories that Dorian was given. They are not amalgams of data he has seen firsthand, they are in fact someone else’s memories hidden deep within Dorian’s computer mind. Rudy is worried, and shares this with John, but while they can do their best to make sure such memories don’t get in again, the motivation behind it, not to mention the person who implanted them, are a mystery. I’m still not convinced we’ve seen the end of Vaughn, but it’s unclear who might have done such a thing to Dorian, and for what purpose.
BONUS: Karl Urban let his natural Aussie accent out to play for a scene as he and Valerie go undercover. She looks super-sexy in a pink bob-cut wig, and hearing Urban’s native tongue again was too much fun, even if it was only for a few lines.
The Following
Joe is still feeling his way around Lily Grey and her unusual band of “children”. He doesn’t like how she seems to be manipulating him, but it doesn’t take much for him to fall back into old habits – cutting up pretty young girls and screwing the nearest woman afterward.
Emma is even more worried about their new “friends”, as even the twin who likes her (I think that one is Luke) seems to be off his rocker. It’s a legit psychological thing, but it’s still pretty crazy. Then again, “crazy” is a relative term among Joe and his followers.
Ryan has gone completely off the reservation pursuing Giselle and trying to back Max up. Max is on the train with Giselle, and once she debarks, Max and Ryan are able to meet up and force her into submission while they pump her for information on Lily Grey and Joe. Giselle doesn’t give them up so easily, but when Ryan threatens the FBI swarm that will certainly follow if Max calls them in, she shares the meeting place she was supposed to have with Mark (other twin), and Ryan goes to head them off.
Max stays to keep an eye on Giselle, but that doesn’t last very long. If there’s one thing we’ve learned about Joe’s followers, they are not afraid of hurting themselves for a greater “good”, and Giselle breaks a few bones in her hands to get out of the handcuffs and overpower Max to make her escape.
Ryan takes out one follower at the meet-up, but he gets clipped in the abdomen in the crossfire and has to make a run for it. Mark and Giselle come after him – he’s leaving a trail of blood through the woods, after all – but at least he gets the better of Giselle after they catch up to him. Not before he invades a home to clean up his wound and has to temporarily take the woman of the house hostage until he gets rid of Mark and Giselle.
Mike has just seen the first photograph – a gas station surveillance shot – proving #JoeCarrollLives, but with the beard and the baseball cap, he still looks unconvinced of what he’s seeing. As the audience, we know it’s Joe, but as a newcomer or someone like Mike who hasn’t seen Joe with a beard, it’s hard to say if the resemblance is so unmistakable that Mike wouldn’t recognize it right away.
No more of Jana this week, and not much of Mendez, either, but we really do get to see a new side of Ryan. This isn’t just about catching Joe. He’s going to kill him. Not for protection, not because it’s his job. Because he hates him and wants revenge for Claire’s death. Justified? Maybe. But Joe is one of those really great big bads that you almost have to root for just because of how good he is at making everyone else miserable.
