I mean Sonmanto with its weaponized waste is as reprehensible as they come, and the fact that both Kiera and Travis were fooled by the company’s supposed heroics in 2066 makes it that much more despicable. And as corporate as Piron Alec has become, even he is anxious to help Kiera take down these low-lifes (with the help of a team of scientists, of course). Time-traveling Alec’s decision to leave for good with Emily is also hard to swallow. Does he really think he can stay away from the seductive technology he’s so skilled at bending to his will? I can’t even keep from checking my Twitter feed every five minutes! Nevertheless, the decision is no longer in his hands. The heartbreak of Emily and the betrayal of Kiera were like a one-two punch in the gut, and I’m still waiting to inhale. But that was the mission, the one thing Kiera was tasked with when she was sent back: stop Alec. And although it appears Katherine was looking for a more permanent solution, the glass cage will have to do. The question is, how much more antagonistic can Kiera become before we stop considering her the show’s hero? That threshold is near. Let’s hope this timeline is redeemable! The lyrics from the song near the end of the episode are particularly apt. In “The 400” by Stars, the phrase that rings true is, “It’s got to go right this time.” Can I get an amen?
