Spoilers! (mini recap) Weak script, bridging towards the Season Finale
LiannXXX16 June 2014
Warning: Spoilers
I usually give 10 stars to Continuum, but this episode the writers handed the actors a really weak script because it does not do much but set up for the two finale episodes.

Brad Tonkins remembers that he killed (Green) Kiera in (green) Alec's SadTech lab -- he goes AWOL, but Kiera tracks him down to his 25 years younger self's address where he has cached some future weapons. How the four surviving Liber8 (Travis, Sonya, Garza, Lucas) find them is never explained but they capture Kiera and Tonkins in the alley outside Tonkin's childhood home.

In the abandoned warehouse (all warehouses in Vancouver are abandoned it seems), Kiera and Brad are tortured to give up the connective narrative which leads to the big finale episodes. The weekly dose of action in this action-adventure series is Brad's brief escape and smackdown by Travis, Garza nails Kiera's foot to the floor with a nailgun, and Kiera overpowers Sonya and with gun to her head saves Brad. Nobody believes Brad's story about coming from a wrecked future where nobody wins but Kellog who is a clan bigshot and Alec Sadler does not exist (again). That is nobody believes Brad's story until Lucas accidentally fires one of Brad's future weapons that punches a big hole in a concrete wall, THEN they believe.

Kiera stirs the pot by revealing that Garza was here on a plot for Alec-2077. Just as the Liber8s are falling apart, their mission failed, long lost zombie Curtis Chen and Kellog arrive together to say their lines and set up their roles for next week. Finally all the Liber8s wander off in different directions to ponder this future that they are creating in Brad's time, leaving Brad and Kiera alone to call a truce.
