A good rule to follow when dealing withWayward Pines, the show, is to not overthink every twist.
Plus, does it even make sense for everyone to trust that plants growingoutsidewill be safer to eat?
But it doesnt matter.
After all, turning a blind eye and aggressively forging ahead with survival is whatPilcherwould do.
and that rule-breakers will face consequences.
Consequences like… getting attacked by Abbies the first day youre there!
He orders the feed cut (to make people panic, natch!)
It goes badly: Theo calls Jason an underage cretin (nice!
), Jason tells the truth (good try!
), Theo bodyslams Jason into the wall (woohoo!
), and Rebecca finally steps in to convince Theo to save Kerry (boo!).
She reveals shes been there for three years and that everything Jason said was true.
Theos gobsmacked, but its not like he can go to the police.
He tried that on Day One.
Meanwhile, we meet CJ!
CJs a soft-spoken man with a penchant for talking about harvesting for now, anyway.
(Im with him: Flames and flora dont exactly mix.)
Jason, however, pushes forward because hes the worst and probably a pyro.
(I think Im finally liking Theo.
)Arleneenters all,uhh, tuned up and ready to be his new receptionist.
Once again, Jason pouts to Kerry, who rationally reminds him they need Theo on their side.
How much does she even expect the doc to know?
Rebecca brushes him off, calling him paranoid.
WhywouldntI be paranoid here?
Theo responds, laughing for the first time since he arrived.
Of course, hes right: There are a lot of weird things going on in town.
Except for Theresa, of course.
Now that the soldiers are back with crates of food for everyone, she begs them to help.
Some almost do, but Mario stops them, though it means breaking that First Generation rule.
Thats different, Jason says.
Jason could use some work on his pillow talk.
Things arent so cozy outside the fence, as Ben struggles to survive.
If only you and Theresa never came to Wayward Pines!
Then again, I could say that for everyone else on this show.
But what if they run out of time?
See, outside the fence, the Abbies have disappeared at least from Jasons security cameras.
So…WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN?Are the Abbieslearningfrom the humans?
Will the Abbies soon breach the fence again, this time using fire?
Will the Abbies discover fire the way humans once did?
Also, where is Xander?
Will we ever see the Burkes again?
Why didnt the Abbies ruin any of the crops?
How did the original planters avoid being killed by the Abbies while tending to the fields?
Why didnt we ever see CJ last season if hes so important to Pilcher and to Jason?
Is Jason the worst leader ever?
Is he the worst as in poor, not villainous dictatorever?
Does the soil being toxic inside the town mean that the town will eventually be uninhabitable?
If so, will the shows name have to change for the potential next season?
May I suggestWayward Wayward Pines?
Are you listening, M. Night Shyamalan?
This will probablyaaalllmake sense soon.
