WOW! Can you believe that? I guess a curious friend now becomes the enemy. The mission of stopping the virus has now added to stop a friend from doing any more harm than good in this week’s episode of 12 Monkeys.
It was shown at the end of last week's episode that Ramse is now against Cole and Project Splinter. He comes into the compound and destroys all the files that they had, plus takes the serum that’s used for the Core and uses it for leverage.
Acting like some hero, almost looking like Arrow, Ramse hikes back to the other compound where his girlfriend and child are staying. He soon spots another group, The Daughters, an all-women's group that believes men cause the epidemic. Who could blame them, right?
Walking over to the group, Ramse talks with their leader, an older but wise-looking woman, and speaks about the army of the 12 Monkeys, the virus, and even mentions Cole’s name. It became one of the most bizarre scenes in this episode, but also, the one thing that came to my mind was, could this lady be Cassandra from the future? She looked like her, but also, when she heard Cole’s name, she wondered just a bit.
Speaking of Cole, he surprisedly appeared when he came in on Cassandra and Marker having an evening together. He unlocks the door and comes in, startling both of them. Cassandra and Marker thought it had been destroyed, but it hadn't. Cole explained what happened and asked them to find out who made the virus.
Upset and seemingly drinking her pain away, Cassandra helps Cole find Dr. Peters, who made the virus. Either she’s drinking due to working on stopping the virus, or she’s in denial that she has feelings for Cole, in my opinion.
Cassandra finds Peters, who is in a locked storage box but sends him off without killing him. I find that a bit odd for her not to do after searching and finding answers.
But as for Marker, he meets with this mysterious woman who tells him that Cassandra is an essential part of him and them. It looks like Marker could be helping with an army of the 12 Monkeys, it seems.
Cole, on the other hand, returned to 2043 as his health had become an issue from time traveling. Jones decides to try temporarily saving him by using this excellent glass-lung machine.
Ramse soon came back to Splinter after his girlfriend's death. He returns the serum but soon goes full combat mode, takes things under his control, and tries to kill Jones.
The shocking scene came near the end when Jones escaped from Ramse’s rampage. He decides to use the Core and goes back to 1987. Cole now has more on his plate than ever before: stopping the development of the virus in 1987 and also finding and killing Ramsey.
This episode held up to its expectations from its previous episode. The storyline through now has been outstanding and well-telling. These characters have changed a lot since the beginning, and now their emotions seem to make them make some hard decisions. I literally can’t wait for the next episode.
And yet more questions are being asked, like what’s the need for Cassandra? Was that the future version of Cassandra talking to Ramse? Just how long will Cole have to survive traveling in time? Does anyone think that Ramse decided to use the Core
