‘Wayward Pines’ episode 8 preview: Can Ethan solve what happened to Ben, Amy?

Tonight’s episode of “Wayward Pines” was, at least in our opinion, not the greatest for the series. The story at times dragged in the early going, but it did built towards some pretty great and crazy events by the time that we reached the end of the story. After all, how else do you explain a major explosion that took place on Main Street?

Next week’s episode looks to accelerate some of the action once again; if you don’t believe us, just take a look at the synopsis below:

“After an explosion on Main Street leaves two key residents of Wayward Pines in critical condition, Ethan is determined to find out who is responsible for the horrific act. Meanwhile, Harold opts out of the covert operation he and Kate were planning, and Nurse Pam interviews surveillance engineers to find out if there are any workers responsible for falsely reporting activities of any Wayward Pines residents.”

Based on the promo below for this episode, it does appear that some answers are coming, especially when it comes to figuring out more of why this town is there, what these people are up against, and whether or not some are starting to become a little too enamored with destroying the lives of those within the town. We are starting to progress towards the end of the season, and from here on out, we only expect the drama to accelerate. Hopefully, there will be no more reasons to slow it down longer than a minute or two.
