The unknowingly mother-and-son relationship drama?
The fact that half of Wayward Pines is about to die?
The relief of not having to see Adams facial hair?

Lets start with the past, because, as Kerry says, none of them can escape it.
(Moms a senator, Dads an all-American lacrosse player; you know the drill.)
Later, he meets Abigail herself, and the two bond by reciting passages fromAnimal Farm.
(George Orwell would be proud.)
She tells him he wants her baby to be named Jason.Ooooh.
But wait Abigails Jason isnt our friendly neighborhood Head Douche.
And thats when he meets hold back your vomit at this revelation, everyone Kerry.
As in, Jasons girlfriend and oops mother he never knew about.Jason, you motherfer!
Jason already has a God complex, but an Oedipus one, too?
Thats just… twisted.
Besides, Kerrys the tragic hero of the story and Kacey Rohl, again, sells every moment.
When Pilcher met her, shed been aching to move past, well, the past.
(Of course, she points out that the fathers not them, becauseWayward Pinesloves dramatic irony.)
), and thus lands on Kerrys file, eventually having her awakened to meet him.
Hes flustered during their first meeting, complimenting her and promising hell keep her safe.
Without Pilcher there, neither one make the familial connection.
Until the present, when Jason finally discovers the file listing himself as Kerrys offspring.
But howd he find it?
To get it, theyll simply have to go back to sleep in the mountain.
Jason sure hopes so.
With his plan solidified, Jason delivers a speech to the town, telling everyone theyll begin immediate evacuation.
Unfortunately for everyone involved, Jason jumped the gun on his announcement.
They can only save 571 Pinesians, which means Jason has to figure out who survives.
Theo picks up on Jasons plan instantly, pushing Jason into admitting that evacuation cant happen for everyone.
Thrown off guard, Jason tries to defend his girlfriend-mom.
He loves Pilcher more, he says, cruelly hoping shell take out the wayward leader.
And she appears to believe him.
Later, Jason asks for advice from Rebecca when she notices he has a lot on his mind.
He reads the words sensitive and confidential information.
He begins reading the file.
And… you could guess how he reacts.
(Or not: He freezes and then, of all things, readies his gun.)
At the worst time possible, Kerry enters, hoping to go over the evacuation plan with him.
She agrees, but realizes hes not himself.
They declare their love for each other.
He goes in for the kill.
Youre the person I can share everything with, he says.
Thats why Im wondering why you didnt tell me.
The baby went to Texas, she says.
How do you know the baby went to Texas?
Walcott Prep, it taught you well, he whimpers, referring to the mother he thought he had.
She cries, and the blood runs through the model towns streets.
Skeeter Davis The End of the World plays.
Oh, and Margaret has recovered outside the fence.
