This is a good show. I loved the movie more (come on, it's Terry Gilliam!!), but the show has a separate story and a value on its own. (And respect to the writers of keeping up with the complex story framework.) There are two things I did not like about the show, and both of them were tackled in this episode. First I do not know, why viewers do not like Cassie, she and Jones are the ones with the plan, they are goal-oriented and pushing things forward in order to improve things. And it is ridiculous to perceive her as slutty, even if she had relationships with Henri, Aaron, maybe Deacon (big maybe) and later on James – this is four men within many years, even decades. Men have this amount of relationships in months, weeks, maybe even days, and no one cares. It's 2016 and we still live in the stone age - give me a time machine to travel to a less misogynistic/more fair future!! And I completely understand that she is mad with James, since he really did lose the mission out of sight. He blames Cassie of having a blind spot for Deacon, but he has a blind, deaf, dumb spot for Ramse – Ramse is the worst, I would love to see him die, since he is still lying, betraying, a threat to everybody. Ramse is accusing James and Jones of being selfish?? He is the most selfish, disgusting, amoral person, he does no care about 7 billion people and wanted to kill Cole, for a son he does not know, who could well be a psychopath (esp. if taking after his father) and who might be born anyway without billions of parents having to mourn their children (it is also worse to have an existing child die than if one is never born)!! Deacon is much less evil than Ramse and what Ramse and James do to Deacon in this episode cannot be justified or forgiven, I am just glad he survived, since he (and Cassie) is (are) the only one(s) to confront Ramse with the bitter truth James is to blind to see. (And Deacon puts it in the face of James and Ramse by acting much more sovereign and sensible than them.) It is not loyalty if you are blindly protecting a mass murderer, it is just a sin/aiding and abetting! The only thing you might blame Cassie for is that she is to hard on Jennifer. Yes, she tried to set the virus free in an elaborate plan, this was evil, but Jennifer is clearly not entirely (mentally/legally/morally) liable (like Ramse is), she might not be „crazy", but she is not entirely sane either, being impaired by her sensitivities to time phenomena which the 12 Monkeys use to manipulate her. Therefore I really enjoyed Cassie and Jennifer making peace in this episode with Jennifer giving Cassie another chance and Cassie getting to understand Jennifer better. Good episode,good show, just please kill Ramse eventually, since he is not only a villain, but a „brother/best friend" who deceived and deceives his brother/best friend who is still to „loyal"/dumb to see. I am losing my respect for James. And Ramse should take responsibility and stop blaming other people - Elena's death is on him, too/ on his sabotages and thefts.I do not know how much longer I can bear him swaggering about spinning his evil plans and laughing into James' face.
