This was not a bad episode, but there simply was not a lot of action until the final few moments. That has been a trend recently that they give us things at the end, but we need a whole entertaining episode, not just a few bits, like this show used to give us.

I hope the last three episodes don't just encompass one day either, but I worry it may go that route where it is a lot of big things over a short period of time instead of building toward a climactic ending.

At 2pm Tomorrow, You Kill Them All.

Warning: Spoilers
So after the annoying RECAP, we begin here with another session of the Dryden commission, with a speech by LAURA about a measure to provide legal protection for synths. Laura's proposal passes.

And then Anita gets a call from Laura, about the proposal's passage.

And Laura returns home to find a mournful Joe has come home with A young Sam synth. This is Laura's first time seeing a child synth so this is big for her.

+1 Star for the opening sequence.....

Everyone marvels over Sam, the synthetic child. Laura first denies to Joe that Sam be allowed to stay there. But Laura quickly changes her mind.

At Max's camp, the synths seem pleased by the news announcement about the passage of Laura's measure to put a $ fine on people who are violent against synths. Max decides that it is time for his camp to get back involved in the society and open their gates to new synths.

Neil comes to visit Laura at home. And Joe ponders whether or not this Neil 'from work' is sleeping with his wife or not. Joe has this conversation with Orange Eye Stanley, about his wife and Neil. Sophie teaches Sam about playing hide and seek. Leo, shaved his face? First time for this since the beginning. Why??

Anita comes to find out that there are thousands of 'green eyed' synths, living in secret with humans, in hiding, around the world. Synths who support Anita's efforts. However do all the synths feel that the progress is happening too slow? That they need to make FASTER progress towards equal rights?? It's funny, how this is the perception about most pursuits of equality and always has been throughout history.

Max's group has open gates. Anita decides it is time for her to go and talk to Dryden herself. Leo is having dreams about something from his past. Laura gives Stanley permission to now enter the bedrooms in the home that he did not have before. I assume this will come back to bite her. This kid who plays Sam, he really does a good job at acting the robot. Sam wanders out of the house while Joe and Toby aren't watching him. Joe of course notices way too late after Sam is out of sight.

Oh and Mattie is approACHED at her school by some 'new' student. This student looks like she's 50 years old in comparison to Mattie. This noob student pretends to be a noob at computing in order to get close to Mattie. And is pretty obviously gleaning Mattie for information.

Sam shows up at a graveyard? Looking for Karen's body. He's chasing down the information that he was told, that they put dead bodies in a box and then store them at the Church. Anita marches to the Dryden commission and gathers quite a following on her route. A large mob shows up with her. Max's closest associate Anton or whatever turns out to be anti max, and goes and releases Agnes from her imprisonment. Joe locates Sam and returns him home, and Sophie and Sam continue their little friendship.

Mattie's new friend distracts her and copies her harddrive onto an external drive. And now Mattie's secrets on being looked into. Anton releases Agnes from the camp, and then makes a phone call to..... Stanley? Anton gives the instruction to Orange Eye Stanley, ' AT 2pm Tomorrow, Kill Them All', or at least that is who appears to be getting this directive from Anton.
