Russell gets his own flashback, where he is performing a piano piece and is able to move the keys telekinetically. He ends up present day hustling pool, and meeting Piper, a cute babe. Already, I’m getting the feeling Piper is not all that she seems. She’s one of them, proving it by stopping a thrown ball. And then she beats the snot out of both of them. Cara and John’s relationship is getting more tense. She knows he can kill, but wants to know what else he can do, and what he knows. Cara tries to stop him, but John agrees to go with him. “You know you can’t run away from this conversation, John,” Cara warns. Response: “We’ll talk when I get back.” Men! sounding the death knell for Cara and John’s relationship right now Russell continues to go topside and get drunk, getting himself in trouble, followed by long bar fight sequence, during which John assaults a police officer. Piper is in the middle of a battle, where people are intentionally getting shot. Oh, and Piper just happens to be Agent Nichols’ sister. So, more than one person is playing both sides. Interesting. John and Russell are set free. “Your dad’s gone, your debt’s paid,” John says, and Russell goes to face his mom. Stephen tries to talk Darcy out of turning her sister over to Ultra…and they all leave. Ohh, this will not end well… Darcy, defending her sister, gets taken out by Ultra. Yet again, this begs the question: Who are the good guys, and who are the bad guys? Is there any clear distinction between the two? At Russell’s dad’s funeral he plays the piano one last time…which kind of choked me up. And this was immediately squashed by Jed’s critique of Morgan (who?), who seems to be Jed’s current lover, telekinetically pulling off his clothes, and, well… Cara tells Stephen, “You’re the best person I’ve ever met.” He’s brought life into the group…and makes out with Cara again. Schwaaaaa….I knew it. Sweet love… Final review: Okay, this show is a tad predictable, but nonetheless intriguing. Enough curves are thrown in to keep anyone interested. I review Continuum as well, and although I’m happy with the show, The Tomorrow People moves along at a more satisfying pace.
