Shes the Smurfette to the Smurfs.
Shes drumroll, c’mon afemaleAbbie.
The showrunners werent kidding whenthey said this would be the season of the Abbies.
A scientist at the lab nicknames herMargaret(Abby would have been too confusing, I guess?)
and she proves promising from day one.
Theowonders the same thing after news travels about Franks encounter with Margaret.
Megan, of course, is immediately miffed by the idea.
Unfortunately, when she moves forward with extracting Margarets cerebral spinal fluid, Margaret barely moves.
So… are Abbies immune to pain, or is this just something Margaret can do?
Whatever the case, Megans just stumped at the events.
We were never supposed to meet.
Did you know that?
Megan asks her subject.
Megan should have known theyd end up having to share Earth.
Ever an idealist, he probably figured theyd kidnapped enough people to keep the population study.
Franks sister,Lucy, does the same.
Not that the adults have much hope, either.
He had hoped to get rid of Ethan, but failed at his entire plan.
NEXT: All about Rebecca…
Back in town,Rebeccafends off Jasons inquiries about the fences durability.
My designs are not the problem here, Jason, she argues.
In retaliation, he wonders about things at home, before warning that its not good to keep secrets.
Disturbed, Theo leaves behind his wedding ring and punches Xander in the face.
(At least Xanders been through worse.)
Hessparing no expenseon the vision, so why not take all the money and make something with it?
Heres why not: Its Wayward Pines, and it wont be built for thousands of years.
Hey, if anything happens, hes got her back.
Centuries later, her project is completed, and shes introduced to Xander after waking up.
As Xander drives her down Main Street, he asks whether it looks beautiful to her.
No, she answers.
And shed say the same in the present.
At the same time, the Abbies burning the crops outside slow down and wait.
Do the Abbies operate in a hive mind?
Or am I reading too much into this final scene?
Whatever the case, its clear Rebeccas hope of building happiness is no more.
Guess which option the First Generation will choose?
