2x03 False Horizon

An all-around good episode. It was the best episode out of all three, definitely, so far. Michaela threw Jared under the bus, and rightfully so, all while managing to get Zeke out of jail. In response, he goes crawling to a bar to drown in his sorrows of defeat, a bar that seems to be occupied by X'ers. He's probably going to attempt proving his worth and impress Machaela by embedding himself among them, then taking them down from the inside. The bartender must be Tamara, played by Leah Gibson. I remember reading information about her on a Deadline's article stating she had been cast and will play a recurring character by that name, "the alluring and street smart bartender of an X’er hangout." In that same article, Carl Lundstedt was also mentioned to have a recurring role as "Billy, Tamara’s protective and hot-headed brother." I wonder if that character was who Jared exchanged a few words with. I failed to notice whether or not he was Carl. And on another side of things, Saanvi set a trap for The Major, whose name we learned to be Kathryn Fitz, and it worked out, splendidly. She managed to fool us, the audience, into thinking that she was still going to be a little naive and vulnerable, as well as turning the tables, at the same time. Yes, she does make a better spy than Ben. I honestly don't get why he seemingly overreacts at everything. It's a little jarring. Speaking of Ben, we learned that Simon, one of the professors(?), is the apparent husband of Erika, the pregnant woman that has prejudice and discrimination towards 828ers that was a little too obvious with her bigotry when talking to Grace, calling Cal an abomination, and saying to Grace that she hopes her baby dies/she loses her baby. Both she and her husband are X'ers, I'm guessing. Another thing, I like the chess game that's going on between The Major, Robert Vance, and the 828ers. What I like even more is how they're both one-upping each other. Now, Robert and the 828ers know the Major's true identity. It's a constant back and forth. At the same time, while they're in the lead against her, for now, the X'ers are closing in on Ben, and possibly other 828ers. Meanwhile, with Olive, she's feeling left out, even more so, and now she's "a Believer." I wonder if she'll be exploited by them. That seems like that obvious conclusion. But what for? Lastly, Michaela and Saanvi were the MVPs of this episode. Put some respect on their names.
