He witnesses strange occurrences.
Hes told strange things.
Oh for the love of Pilcher, where are we?

WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?!
We already know, because season 1 of the show formerly known as an event series revealed all.
Not that we begin in Wayward Pines right away.
Instead, we open on a man swimming on a beach, whos apparently on vacation with his wife.
Thanks, Terrence Howard!
Centuries later, Theo awakens from suspended animation thanks, First Generation!
thinking hes having the worst hangover of his life.
Oh, yeah Theos not in Hawaii anymore.
(Im assuming they were in Hawaii.
Its not like I can go through Blake Crouchs trilogy to double check stuff on Theo.)
Picked back up by his First Generation escorts, Theo gets introduced toJason(a.k.a.
the teen who executed Harold Ballinger in season 1, a.k.a.
Head Douche), who now leads the fascist government controlling Wayward Pines.
Because their last physician died, Theos been brought on board to save the life of an important patient.
The doctor is in.
receiving some form of painful treatment.
Could it be torture?
Jason broods and wonders out loud where Ben is.
Come on, we know where Ben is: Hes doing voice-overs recapping what happened last season onWayward Pines!
Theo isnt sure what to believe either.
You know, normal chitchat material.
But, seriously, how is Theo not completely freaking out yet?
Jason visits Kate, hoping shell tell him where Ben is, but she easily talks him down.
Things change, Jason, they evolve, she warns.
You havent evolved at all.
All youve been taught is how to control, and you cant.
The Ballingers toy shop!
and encountersRuby, whos now a mother as well as a rebel targeted by the First Generation.
(Sorry, docs.)
Theo watches as a reckoning begins and is completely unprepared for what he sees.
no one does, so Jason sourly lines up Ruby and his soon-to-be victims for execution.
But as Theo barrels through the crowd, Rebecca spots him, surprised to see hes been awakened.
Ben arrives after Rubys death, saying theyll end the rebellion but is he telling the truth?
Even more rotten: Jasons next offer.
I dont want another Ethan Burke, he says.
Like Jason, Megan is keen on wiping the memory of all things Ethan-related.
She wheels herself into Kates hospital room, gloating about how her men have surrendered to the First Generation.
You fought hard, she simpers.
All of us are so impressed.
Of course, Kates having none of it.
She refuses to discuss the past or the future and wonders how long they can keep debating their views.
And when Megan tries once again to provoke Kates anger, Kate simply… gives up.
(Oh no.)
I dont want any part of it, she says.
And then she slices her throat.
So, uh,thathappened.
Both you and Ethan sacrificed yourselves, but only one of you went out with a bang.
(And hey, Carla Gugino,we cant wait to see you on ShowtimesRoadies!)
At least Kate didnt die getting eaten by Abbies.
and by taken, I mean knocked out and forced to crash into the woods to attract Abbies.
As he wakes (again!
), he comes face-to-face with the nasty Abbies as they swarm the van and race to the fence.
Yeah, those surgical skills arent going to be of any help here.
Ive got questions.When Ben says hes ending the rebellion, he doesnt mean it, right?
How did he wind up the leader of the rebellion anyway?
Is it simply because hes Ethans son?
Did no one during his coma make a run at rally the resistance troops?
How did Megan survive the Abbie attack?
Is she somehow superhuman?
Is it because of her hair?
How big is the rebellion?
Why is Jason so concerned about running Wayward Pines with an iron fist?
Shouldnt he be more concerned about helping humanity repopulate Earth and destroying the Abbies?
How did they get the Abbies out of Wayward Pines after what happened in the season 1 finale?
What happens to Kate and Harolds toy shop?
Whos running the beer garden?
Why wasnt anyone eating ice cream?
Is Jason Patric purposely not looking frazzled in his scenes?
Is he a robot?
Robot, like a sequel to Mr. Am I overthinking this?
Tell me your thoughts below or tweet me@shirklesxp.
Until next week, citizens!
Oh, and welcome back to where paradise is home.
