For Juliana, that decision seems to be a good thing so far.

Back in San Francisco, though, Frank is paying for her decision in horrendous ways.

All would be normal if it wasnt for, you know, the Nazi uniforms.

It turns out that the Obergruppenfuhrer leads a relatively normal life outside of his Nazi beliefs.

With breakfast attended to, the Obergruppenfuhrer can check in on Joe.

Meanwhile, Juliana is trying to figure out whom Trudy was supposed to meet.

At least Nazi double agents have good taste in music.

Theres a stark contrast to the two story lines that dominate this second episode.

Its all implied violence, whereas Frank is going through literal violent interactions.

With Hitler ailing, it seems that war is on the horizon.

Of course, the Nazis are also dealing with the Resistance.

His driver and right-hand man are shot and killed, but he manages to make it out alive.

Hes not taking it lightly.

In the neutral zone, Juliana sets up a meeting with the Bible man who also makes origami birds.

Hes essentially a hitman, taking out a number of subversives across the country.

He breaks into a local, vacant theater and screens the film and is obviously moved.

For now, Juliana is safe, and it looks like Joe is perhaps on her side.

He gives her the film back and comforts her.

Is his loyalty changing?

Does it have to do with the film, his attraction to Juliana, or a bit of both?

Whatever it is, Joe seems to be conflicted about his mission.

Remember that woman who stole Trudys satchel from Juliana on the bus?

The Japanese have picked her up, and the satchel contains counterfeit propaganda films.

That bit of coincidence saves Franks life, but sadly, his sister and her children are still killed.

We know he is, though.

The question is, who else is a monster inThe Man in the High Castle?
