And that mystery and intrigue is part of what helps keep the show interesting, even seven episodes in.
Were still not sure what The Arrival is but we seem to be getting closer to an answer.
Its inspiring, but its also a little preachy and cult-ish.

This doesnt seem to bode well for Katie, who is in constant PTSD mode.
She even gives her a special book calledGreatest Day.
She can read it, but, you know, it has to be their little secret.
In the meantime, Will and Beau chat up a few Homeland guys who were riding with Broussard.
Will correctly identifies this as being a Marine special ops logo because hes the smartest.
Shes getting some via an affair with Nolan but only because Charlotte likes watching.
Maddie wont let him because three is the magic number apparently.
Maddie confronts Nolan, thinking he did something to jeopardize her job when she refused to sleep with him.
Although Nolan protests he didnt do anything, she threatens him to fix it.
He steals a similar-looking, already-deceased body and meets Quayle so they can stage a suicide.
(Spoiler alert: Will, when he arrives later to check it out, isnt fooled.)
The moral of the story is that war is about making hard choices.
In other words, Quayle doesnt trust Katie (good, because Katie doesnt trust him).
Shes made a mess of things since she got involved, and hed like her dead, hey.
Katie, for her part, has been trying to get in touch with Broussard.
Remember when I said that book would come in handy?
I came to this cause because of you, she tells him angrily.
Broussard goes to visit Rachel afterwards, admitting that Quayle wants Katie dead.
But Broussard, surprisingly, trusts her and doesnt want to do it.
She urges Will to get out because she thinks hes being manipulated.
Will says hes trying, but I think Will is probably more tangled up than anyone knows or expects.
She tells Will he lived at his moms house and liked doing home improvement jobs.
Is Katie lying to protect her friend?
Nope shes actually telling the truth.
But she had a son, who was Force Recon in the Marines.
Rachel shows up at The Yonk, surprising Katie.
Rachel says Broussard reallydoestrust her, which is big in of itself because he doesnt trust anyone.
Katie takes comfort in this, calling Broussard and alerting him to the fact Wills coming for him.
And now we know everything is about to get real.
