Losing to penalties like that is a bitter blow because I don’t think many people anywhere near the field of play thought that was a penalty, but it was given, so you end up losing the game. Yet with the Chicago Nations Cup match seemingly destined for a penalty shoot-out to settle matters, Colombian champions Millonarios were gifted the chance to win it from 12 yards in the final seconds of the game after a contentious penalty kick was awarded for handball against Jeffrey Schlupp Castro duly dispatched the kick.Īfter the game, Hodgson observed: “We certainly deserved to draw the game. Hard same, friend.The two teams traded spells of possession and territorial domination in sweltering conditions at SeatGeek Stadium, with Jake O’Brien’s second-half header cancelled out moments later by Leonardo Castro’s poacher’s finish. Thunderbird is covered in open wounds and half dead, but he’s still answering emails. She infiltrated the Purifiers, and she infiltrated the Government, so who’s to say she hasn’t also infiltrated the Underground? Or the Morlocks?īlink is underground with the Morlocks now, and while everybody at the Underground bought it, we never saw a clear body, and this writer’s room is versed enough in the comics to know that means that these characters are all at worst in Schrodinger’s Holster (it’s where you keep Chekhov’s Gun), alive or dead, waiting for the most opportune time to be publicly mourned/pop out of a closet and shout “BETRAYED”? All I’m saying is don’t be surprised if a dragon is flying around Inner Circle HQ in the climax of the last episode. Kate’s brother got tagged by Sentinel Services almost the second he started sniffing around on Reva, and we saw her and Shane Hannity working together last week. The thing is, everything’s coming together for what I assume to be the season’s endgame. There was legitimately a ton going on this episode. And Lorna is trying to spy on the Inner Circle and figure out what Reva’s new terrorist squad is going to target – she catches them on their way to blow up the Underground, but she hasn’t figured out their big plan yet. Reed is also listening to the music box, and it’s making his powers flare up. Kate decides to go visit her brother and see if he can use his Lexis account to find out more on Reva and the Purifiers, and Lauren decides to go with her to get away from the creepy music box that’s making her want to hold hands with her brother.Īlso, I think Kate might be on cocaine? She’s doing some kind of hobo crossfit in the Underground’s secret dillapidated apartment base and she talks really fast to Reed when she is trying to convince him to let her go visit her brother. Andy knows they’re going to do it by having the Cuckoos rewire her brain, so he fights it a little, but only for the chance to convince her to join of her own free will. Lauren popped Andy in the mouth in a shared dream, so the Inner Circle has decided they want to try and bring her in. Meanwhile, The Gifted continues to resemble an X-Men comic in the way it juggles the 9,426 plots this season still has unresolved: by bouncing back and forth between character groupings. This meeting was clearly BS from the start. Nobody was really in a position to do anything about it – the meeting was coming up too fast to change it, and she was apparently whipping off-screen attendees whether John and Marcos were onboard or not, but it was nice to have someone on the show express at least some of the same reservations that I felt at home. She smelled BS about the plan to railroad all the Underground leaders into something by Evangeline Whedon, and she was comfortable saying so to the people she cared about. Her sister was killed by her abuser when she went back, and Clarice tells John as their relationship is crumbling that “Running into a battle you’re gonna lose isn’t brave, it’s selfish.” And then she skips out to join the Morlocks, leaving John and the dog crying on the floor of their hovel.Ĭlarice has her act together. Blink and her sister escape the house using one of her newly developed portals, but we find out later (as a means for Clarice to break up with John) that her sister went back in to try and defend some of the kids they left behind. In the cold open and a few times again through the episode, we get flashbacks to her childhood, hanging out with her foster sister talking about how hot the sparkly Twilight vampires are until their drunk stereotype of a foster dad comes home. We get a deeper dive into her character this week, and it just reinforces how great she is for the show. She’s generally well-adjusted, with a realistic view of the world around her. Blink, to me, is the perfect X-Man on the show: she’s smart, wry, and competent. Another development that comes with my old age, and this is just me and not “being old,” is that I really just want to watch characters communicate effectively and be well adjusted.
