The next morning, Bergman is called away to attend to the urgent crisis. Laura wakes up and is called downstairs by a noise. It is a window banging against the pane and her phone rings. It is Owen, with whom she shared a kiss last night, at the backdoor. He calms her down by saying nothing happened between them. Laura had passed out and Owen just slept on the couch. ..
At the airport, the services are shut down. All flights are canceled in lieu of the plane crash. Lucas then decides to take them to the train station, where they find no luck either. Elena is stuck with Sam in Paris. His surgery too has been rescheduled to a later date. Whilst in the car, Lucas switches to French and informs Elena that Sam has lost more photoreceptor cells than the doctors would have hoped for. To keep up hopes of the surgery taking place later, Elena must put the medicine he gives her in Sam’s eye every day without fail. If he develops an infection, the surgery will not be able to go through.
Andy is worried about the safety of his family and contacts MI6 for help. Bergmann’s intel matches that of MI6, and there is a targeted attack on the energy infrastructure across the globe. The fuels have been tampered with and rendered almost unusable. Life, without power and fuel, will not sustain and society will descend into chaos if the situation is not resolved quickly. Mika, Farooq, Khalil, and Owen head to the lab to investigate. Laura is on a date with Owen and she learns of the power crisis while surfing the internet. Two cars collide in front of them, interrupting their date. ..
A group of people at a restaurant rush to safety when their table goes up in flames. It is announced that England’s borders will be closing, meaning no one will be allowed in or out of the country. Andy hands over the samples to the labs and stays in a hotel with Mika for the evening. When Lucas reaches the gas station to fill up his car, he finds many cars awaiting him and scampers around to get the last of the gas in tanks. He also fills up his car, not knowing that the fuel has been tampered with and will destroy his car. When they stop for coffee, Lucas expresses his interest in Elena, albeit very slyly. We do not know if she reciprocates. ..
They are not the only ones with a secret. The border guard is suspicious of them and orders his men to search the car. They find a bag with some eco-terrorist literature inside. Elena recognizes one of the dead assassins from the truck as Thomas Goodwin, a member of the Apocalypse Watch. It is clear that he was involved in last week’s attack on the gas pipeline and that he is connected to this eco-terrorist group. Lucas, Sam, and Elena are able to reach safety in the UK but they must keep their secret from everyone they know.
Lucas has a skirmish with one of the guards and inadvertently comes in front of an arriving ambulance, falling to his death. Elena is horrified and is comforted by a woman, who brings along Sam with her. Andy had left for the lab without telling Mika. When he reaches there, he finds a slew of bodies, realizing that more gunmen have arrived to get the samples. Andy successfully takes the laptop with the results in it and is pursued by the gunman. He loses him momentarily in an alley and Mika saves the day on a bike. The episode ends with a mysterious stranger walking into the house and Laura having to fight him with Owen’s help. While they are escaping, the man shoots and injures Owen but the couple does manage to escape.
The Episode Review
Last Light, the upcoming action-RPG from Ukrainian developers Darksiders developer Vigil Games, is a game that juggles a lot of balls. It’s an ambitious project that aims to be both an entertaining and challenging experience, but it’s not for everyone. Clowns are good at juggling balls, but so are some people who are not clowns. Last Light is a game that is both challenging and fun to play, but it can be dangerous if you don’t know what you’re doing. The people behind Last Light seem to be heading down a dangerous path by trying to make the game too difficult for some players. ..
Episode 2 was a disappointment because it focused too much on Andy and failed to live up to the hype of the first episode. The series has a lot of potential, but it needs to take more risks in order to keep viewers interested. ..
The crisis that is unfolding carries the potential to end the modern world. But there was no focus on bringing that out in the story. When you do not put in the legwork, how can you brand the story and plot about that very thing? The laziness is killing me. Lucas’ death was so generic that they might as well have killed him in the hospital itself. ..
The series has been a letdown so far. It’s recycled genre tropes with no ambition to do anything useful. Watching the rest of the series might prove to be painful if I am being honest.
