Oh wow, guys, I owe you all an apology.
Inthe last recap, I started off by declaring that things on1899had really escalated.
In my defense, I thought they had!
The way folks really dug into that mutiny was wild!
The fact that they tossed that kid overboard and then he showed up again?
Things had really been kicked up a notch.
The Calling doesnt just kick the happenings of1899up another notch, it kicks them up all the notches.
Every single one of them.
you could see the show shifting into its next gear for its final act.
Theyre so freaked out that hes alive they dont want to take any chances.
It becomes more than just yelling as they attempt to stop Maura, and one guy fires his gun.
Daniel starts to jump in front of the bullet, and time just stops.
Everyone except Maura is frozen.
(That shot of everyone standing there frozen?
Not that Im surprised the special effects on this show are mind-blowingly great.)
This is not even the wildest thing that happens in this episode.
Thats when the alarm starts going off.
Something is going on in that closet with the wiring and then an alarm blares for a few seconds.
Once it stops, a new sound starts: the ticking of a clock.
Suddenly, people go dead-eyed.
Ling Yis mother heads off with the group and eventually Krester, too, starts his march.
Both are imprinted on my brain and will haunt me for the foreseeable future, so thats fun.
Now, where are Maura and the boy while all of this is going on?
He leads her to the shaft under her bed and uses the beetle to open a doorway.
Reader, I gasped!
He follows and finds the boy standing at the grave alone.
When Daniel asks why he brought her here, all he says is that she didnt remember.
What does it mean?
And I dont care that I dont know!
Where did you hide it?
She has no idea what hes talking about.
it seems to ignite something in Maura.
She explains to Eyk that her father studies the human brain; he has zero interest in ships.
She thinks this whole thing must be some sort of experiment so that he can study the passengers.
Hes been missing ever since she thinks he was on thePrometheus.
They wind up back in the woods near his house.
Were on a ship.
How does a whole landscape fit inside a ship?
YES, EYK, WE WOULD ALL LIKE TO KNOW THIS.
Back in Eyks room, Maura posits that none of this is real.
Those people killing themselves by hurling themselves into the sea?
How can this be real?
YES, HOW, MAURA?!!
She doesnt remember who she is.
So, like, thats not great.
Dont think for one second that Mauras the only one with wild information to share.
Everyone else is gone.
Mrs. Wilson, and even Franz.
Everyones like,Yeah, yeah, yeah, weve heard that one before.
I think they mean us.
You know, normal ocean stuff.
