This was the most exciting episode of The Whispers yet. With one boy already killed with Drill’s games, I was getting very worried that Henry was going to be next. I was more worried about Henry being put right in the middle of it than I was about the people in the four mile radius that would be affected if their was a meltdown.
The kids are really stars in this show. They know more about what’s going on than the grown ups do and they are so loyal to Drill that they won’t let their parents in on the secret.
Minx and Henry were so cute together. These kids are both very smart. Henry didn’t want to play the game. He thought it wasn’t a good idea, he didn’t want to get in trouble and he was suspicious of why Drill didn’t ask him to play. All of that was out weighed by his desire to see his father again, but can you blame the boy?
Minx is a little too clever for her own good. She cut herself to distract Henry’s grandmother and ran out the door just as she was going to have to start answering questions. Plus she already knows that parents don’t have all the answers, even though they think they do. She’s going to be a handful when she gets older.
In the end her faith in Drill was justified. Drill said if everyone did what they were supposed to do, that everyone would win.
I absolutely loved the music that was playing in the background when Henry was on his journey. It gave his scenes a Goonies feel to it. He was going on his very own adventure and the treasure was his father.
And I’m finally getting use to Barry Sloan’s American accent. That only took four episodes.
Is it wrong of me to like that there is still feelings between Claire and Wes? It’s absolutely wrong that they both cheated on their spouses, but I really like these two. There have a chemistry together that I like.
Wes hinted earlier that there was something real between them and this week we can see that those feelings are still there. He broke down when he thought Claire was killed in the meltdown. Claire was also saying her goodbyes to him and apologizing.
It’s unclear if Drill wanted those feelings to rise to the surface again. Drill must have known Claire was going to go into the plant after her son.
Drill did make things difficult for Lena and Wes when Minx went over to see Henry to tell him to play the game to get his father back. Lena doesn’t believe that Minx ever left the house. Claire wouldn’t lie, but if Wes defends Claire, he’ll be in the dog house again. Not that he’s truly gotten out of the dog house yet.
Sean may not remember who he is, but there’s still a spark of him left. He told Maria to shoot him if he did something bad. He’s starting to fight whatever has taken over his body. Sadly he didn’t seem to remember his wife and kid.
What one earth happened to that smoke at the end? It evaporated and nothing was contaminated. In the end it was a lot of chaos for nothing. What was the point? What is Drill trying to do?
I knew this wasn’t Drill’s endgame. It’s too early on to be the endgame. But what was the point?
Will we get to meet Drill next week. He’s coming. Take a look at the promo:
