Congratulations to Sandra on officiallynothaving terminal lymphoma!
And something about Annarah Cymones performance is innately sympathetic to me.
In short, Im happy for her.
This latest development provides even more substantial material for Sandra because she really doesnt know how to feel.
In fact, shes going home tomorrow, on Family Day.
It turns out she was misdiagnosed; there was no miracle, either faith driven or ritual driven.
As Sandra leaves in tears, shes a ball of complicated emotions.
But in the end, everyone lets Sandra back in, happy for her without reservations.
The bigger drama of the episode comes from Ilonkas continual desperation to survive following the realization shewasntthe cured patient.
After she was cured, she started the collective to share her miracle and heal people.
Remember, Aceso invoked them just to gather enough human sacrifices for herself.
Julia leaps at her to complete the sacrifice, and we cut to black.
And then theres the Midnight Club.
Besides Cheri, Spence is the one character we havent seen tell a story yet.
Spences story is about a transfer student named Rel and his romance with Christopher Perry, a robotics student.
This VCR tapes the future.
What follows is a pretty wild series of mind-bendingTerminator-y reveals.
Rel escaped back in time after Old Christopher (O.C.)
deemed him defective because he was capable of fear and sadness.
future, not fall in love with him.
himself is also a cyborg, the first ever.
plans to eliminate fear and sadness from future cyborgs.
Rel surrenders and lets O.C.
kill him but not before generating a taped message for young Christopher showing him the truth about his future.
It also clearly follows up on the lesson he learned from Mark about loving despite fear.
Still, things are happening, and the characterization here remains solid, if sometimes surface level.
Lets see if the finale brings it home.
While I actually find Katherine quite sympathetic despite her little screen time, Ilonka is kind of right.
Ilonka shows more genuine joy seeing Amesh in Natsukis room than hearing Sandras going to live.
But I do really like Iman Bensons grinning delivery of Okay as she gives Natsuki the Good for you!
Itd be nice to see Ilonka in this mode more often.
Davis famously played the Cigarette Smoking Man onThe X-Files.
