Revolution, Episode 3 RECAP No Quarter or Dime or Nickel

Nora and Charlie are rigging the Olive Garden bunker with trip-wires. They have a nice big roll of “duck tape.” Nora confides in Charlie that she was with Miles for awhile. But then she met a guy named Frank. One night she and Frank went for a walk and they ran into some Militia- who began to beat-up Frank. Nora stepped in and started to kick some ass, she took some heavy hits, but managed to run off the Militia dudes. After that, Frank dumped Nora. She thinks he was afraid of her.

Charlie said “You told me you joined the Rebels because of a guy.”

I used to like guys…

Nora replied, “Not so much a guy as a boy.” Nora was 5 months pregnant that night. The next morning, she wasn’t. “Win or lose, I had to make it mean something. If I ever have a baby, I want it to be born in the United States.”

Over in Neville’s camp, The Gooch is, again, starting to mess with Danny. Neville has gone into town, says The Gooch, so it’s just him and Danny. “Where were we?” The Gooch asked.

Gooch, you were pissed that Danny killed your buddy and Danny is pissed that The Gooch’s buddy killed Ben.

Nighty Night Danny

The Gooch explains to Danny, his buddy- his name was Templeton, was married to a large woman, named Carol. And the Gooch has to explain to Carol that Templeton is dead and Carol is going to want to know if The Gooch got payback. And he’s going to tell Carol that he did… again and again. He takes out a sack full of something (rocks?) and starts to beat Danny with it.

Flashback to 6 months post B.O. Miles and Monroe are strolling down the road and come upon an orange tent with some dead people out front. Personally, I prefer a WELCOME mat, but to each his own.

I see dead people

Monroe want Miles to keep walking, but Miles is disgusted. He doesn’t understand how things could unravel so quickly. (Please, I lose my mind when Facebook is down for an hour.) Monroe says that “Hungry people get desperate.” (That’s true, you should see me at 11:30am.)

Miles whines “No one is coming to help.”

 Back at the Olive Garden, Miles is working on the tunnel and Lionel Richie keeps shooting from the roof. But… the rebels are running out of ammo. Nora has got the place all wired up.

The Militia activate the trip wire and there is an explosion. The explosion collapses the tunnel… and they are like, what do we do now? Charlie suggests that they “fight ‘em off!” Miles doesn’t think it’s a good idea. Charlie says “When the Militia would come to our village and take our crops and take our women, my Dad would never fight! He was a coward.”
