We got another captivating episode of The Whispers this week. Sean has his memory back and he’s meeting with some very powerful political leaders including the President of the United States to discuss the rock. Wes is there as well and he classifies the entity as Alien. It was an intriguing scene to watch Wes and Sean face off on what they know about Drill and how they should proceed with handling the situation. Wes believes he knows best from studying and dealing with case, but Sean completely disagrees as he had been living with this entity for three months. The President sides with Wes, deciding that he must see the rock in person. Am I the only one thinking this isn’t such a good idea? Nonetheless, he ends up going and after seeing for himself decides that they should protect the rock.
After The President visits the rock we know Drill is up to something. He had contacted his daughter and she’s playing one of his games. This can’t be good! Drill is not only playing at something that involves The President’s daughter but he’s also interacting with Lena. This must be leading up to something major as she is the only adult that Drill is contacting. I’m actually liking Lena more and more, now that she shown us that her main goal is to protect her daughter, Minx. I do find it interesting that Lena hasn’t told anything to Wes yet though. Lena was able to help Wes figure out that Drill was trying to get to the rock through The President’s daughter. It was surprising to me that Wes didn’t come to that realization earlier as there were a few hints for him to pick up on. Wes does conclude that the rock is a way for Drill to send a message to more entities like him.
Sean appears to be more of a guinea pig to the government than anything else at the moment. It doesn’t take long for him to convince the doctor to help him destroy the rock once he explains that it’s dangerous and that it’s purpose is to destroy mankind. He also gets some help from Claire when she convinced Wes to let her see Sean. She was able to sneak in some items that Sean needed in order to reverse the charge around the rock, hoping this would stop Drill’s plan. I was on the edge of my seat wondering if they would be able to do this in time!
Just as they were trying to change the magnets to stop Drill, Wes comes barging in with military reinforcement, shooting the doctor and throwing Claire to the ground. It’s too late as it appears that Drill is now in the rock. Sean pleads with Claire and Wes so that he can finish what they started as this would be the best way to destroy Drill. This has to be my favourite scene of the series so far. It was very emotional as Wes pulls Claire away from Sean, telling her that he forgives her but that they must go. A few seconds later Sean blows up the rock and miraculously, was able to survive the blast. With sirens in the background we know it’s only a matter of time before the military arrive to arrest them but Wes gives the keys to his SUV, telling them to go. He knows that he needs to do some major damage control before something bad happens to Claire or Sean. Now Claire and Sean are on the run. They are trying to get to Henry, but Jessup Rollins was ordered to put Henry in custody and they may not get to him in time.
The last few seconds of this episode were just as exciting as the rest. Minx wakes Lena up to tell her that Drill wants to make a deal with her. So now we know Drill isn’t gone, even though the rock was destroyed. What does he want from Lena? What’s going to happen now that Sean and Claire destroyed the rock? I’m not sure but i’m looking forward to finding out what’s next! How about you?
