![]() Please don’t die horribly when this storyline continues, random Commonwealth soldier! He seems like an OK guy, which worries me. I’m also a fan of that random Commonwealth soldier who was just trying to do his job and worried about getting fired.I suspect Princess is going to be as polarizing a character on TV as she was in the comics, but I think her character is a breath of fresh air for the show, given how cheery and upbeat she is despite her mental health struggles and trauma.Kudos to Payton for playing Ezekiel in a way where it was apparent something was off, but not that that something was “he’s part of Princess’s imagination.” I’d been chalking his erratic behavior up to his cancer diagnosis and heartbreak about his family, but I was relieved that wasn’t actually him!.It gets better on re-watch, too - for example, did you catch Zeke and Princess were sitting in the exact same way during their chat about love and family? Now this is my favorite bonus episode of Season 10 so far.That works for the soldier, who gets his rifle back from her and then leads her out of the train car… where she sees her friends with black bags over their heads, just before having one shoved over her own. Princess maintains there has to be a way they can help each other, and she offers to answer the soldiers’ questions.Įxcept she doesn’t know much of anything about her new friends except their names, which she offers freely, along with where she’s from (Pittsburgh). She helps the soldier she hurt, who says he’s going to get in big trouble for what happened. She tries to escape, but she thinks better of it and turns back. Princess stops punching the soldier and leaves him in the train car. The bloodstains on Ezekiel’s forehead from beating the soldier match Princess’s own face. Princess tries to pull him back, and then… That’s not good enough for Ezekiel, who starts beating the crap out of the guy. He says their treatment is a basic protocol for the mission, but he can’t tell them exactly where Yumiko is because he doesn’t know. The soldier gives a much-needed info-dump about the Commonwealth, dropping their mantra, “for the benefit of all, and for all who seek solace at our gates,” implying they have trained doctors since that’s who Yumiko is probably with and saying the Commonwealth has valuable resources. He restrains the man and points his own weapon at him, demanding he tell him where their friends are, all while Princess protests. It’s a Commonwealth soldier, and Ezekiel is determined to use the guy to get the information they need. Well, a better plan - literally - walks in, holding an apple and a donut. Princess tries to talk him out of it, and they decide they need a better plan. “We don’t know these people, and we can’t trust what we don’t know,” he says. The King encourages Princess to run first, try to save their friends later. Thankfully, things start looking up when a familiar face breaks into her train car. She refuses to answer, and for her insolence, she receives a punch to her jaw… just as her stepfather had once done. Princess is eventually brought before a small group and asked questions about her friends: where they were from, what their names are, their ages, etc. The King to the Rescue?īut trusting them is hard when their interrogation methods are horrifically brutal. Plus, guest star Robert Patrick makes a darker episode even darker.
