Charlie opens her eyes. Miles is relieved. 3 hours later, Charlie is still resting, but is ready to go. Miles thinks they should wait until morning to leave the tunnels. Charlie thanks him for saving her. Miles is like “Uh, I got you shot.” Charlie tells Miles, she heard him calling for her. She was in a place she didn’t want to leave. If he hadn’t called for her, she may have stayed. FYI- that was supposed to be a touching moment. I mean, my husband said so, I don’t have a heart so I couldn’t recognize it, but he says it was.
As The Misfits gear up to leave, Nora asks if Miles has any idea what’s on the other side of that door? Miles is like “Uh, a Militia ambush, probably.” And they proceed through the door.
Back to mad scientist Rachel’s Lab, Monroe comes in. Rachel is hard at work on “The Machine.” Monroe explains that Neville has really good instincts and he is rarely wrong about people, and he doesn’t trust Rachel or this “amplifier” she is making. So, he’s brought in a second opinion, good ole Doctor Jaffe.
It’s the New Johnny Bravo…not
As Jaffe examines the machine, Rachel says, half trying to convince herself “It’s a amplifier.”
Jaffe says “It’s a bomb. “ Rachel says Jaffe is lying. “Sorry Rachel, but it’s a bomb. A sophisticated time bomb. She is probably setting it up to go off when you are here, but she isn’t.”
Rachel, obviously, realizing she is now dispensable and Dumbass Danny too, let’s face it, he was dispensable anyway, pleads “You need me.” Monroe replies that he doesn’t need her. He has Dr. Jaffe who is a LOT more cooperative than Rachel. So Rachel, completely desperado, stabs Jaffe in the heart with a screwdriver and says “Now you need me!!”
Poor Jaffe has been nothing but a punching bag…
So, the “Fall Finale” is next week, in theory, it should be a good episode. Although this Led Zepplin Ep was supposed to be GREAT too- it wasn’t. In my opinion, with these hallucinations, the writers could have given the viewer more insight into why the character’s psyche and explore their demons. They had the best opportunity with Miles, and they, kind of, blew it. Oh well. And not ONE SINGLE SWORD FIGHT?!?!?!

This show is becoming too contrived and tedious. I think I’d be better off to just read your recaps and skip actually watching. “Lost” it ain’t.
Still loving your recaps. And the Princess Bride references will never get old! A question for your readers – if the pendant is only good for a few feet, how did it power up the lighthouse? Or am I just really missing something here…
Thanks for the comments. MisRed feels the love!! Aaron was in the lighthouse when it lit up, so I assume the mechanism for lighting it was within the 8 to 10 ft range.
Either that or the writers are morons. Take you pick.
I really don’t know what to think about this show! It started out fun and intriguing, in an easy to watch kind of way. I liked that questions got answered and fun twists introduced, say early on, and not season 5. But now, it’s definitely getting a little too gimicky for me and I find myself not caring if I miss it. I guess while I’m watching it, I’m mildly interested, but nothing keeps me on my toes for the next episode.
My husband made an interesting point during the first episode. He was like, wait– they just skipped over all those years of the most interesting stuff. I.E. what happened immediately after the blackout. I kind of agree. We get tidbits of it, but I think the show could have had a lot more to work with if it didn’t try so hard to jump back and forth between right after and present.
And I want to like Charlie, but is it in her contract that she must cry after every scene of dialogue?!
I enjoy this show. Thanks for the great recap!
The pendant clearly has some kind of range – will they have to carry it in the helicopter? , since the lady on the farm with the computer in her attic used her pendant to power her computer from time to time. The 8-10ft could have been a lie since Rachel was trying to justify her \amplifier\.
