Talk about building on an intense thriller. Here's a quick recap of episodes three and four of the miniseries Teacup.
As Maggie helps Don with his injured hand, she learns of a dead woman in the woods that he saw and goes to look, which happens to be someone they know. Meanwhile, after learning that James had an affair with his wife, Ruben teams up with him to look at a close neighbor's farm, which looks totally abandoned with dead people, but Ruben gets caught in one of the barns while James gets pulled into a mysterious cough from the basement.
Arlo, who has been taken over by an extra-terrestrial Harbinger, reveals to Meryl and Nicholas the site where they found a meter rock that contained a toxin, which he tells them they should drink. Ellen and Valeria meet with someone who walks across the line to talk.
In the next episode, Maggie encounters Lieutenant Olsen, who's talking with Ellen and Valeria. She takes him into the barns and feels that he's lying about the situation. She soon knocks him out and ties him up. However, leaving Olsen alone with Ellen might not have been the best idea, as the stranger did the same thing that had happened to Arlo. However, in this case, it seems more evil than Arlo did.
Speaking of Arlo, he, Meryl, and Nicholas try to return home with the jar of toxins but encounter the masked stranger from the previous episodes. He tries to get that jar but gets hurt when Nicholas stabbing him. They learn that his name is McNab, and he knows the Harbinger but doesn't reveal the jar's true intentions.
Trapped in the basement, James learns he is tied up and sees a member of the farm asking him whether or not he should shoot him. While Ruben is still in the wheat barn, he is amazed by the image of some kind of extra-terrestrial that looks the same colors as those you see that transfer in Arlo and Ellen's eyes.
"Quite for No Reason" and "In the Heart of Country," probably a title song that will take a day or two to get out of my head, were two excellent episodes that not only brought some good drama to the characters after the previous episodes but also new revelations and even stepped up the intensity of the thrills. Yvonne Strahovski gives a strong performance, especially when encountering Olsen about what's happening in the area. So far, it's been so good, and I can't wait for the next episode.
Overall, I give these episodes an 8.5/10.
