‘Wayward Pines’ season 2, episode 3 preview: ‘Once Upon a Time in Wayward Pines’

Tonight on “Wayward Pines,” you’re going to learn a little bit more about the character of Jason Higgins in the present; with that in mind, why not also take a minute or two to talk further about the character in the past? Next week’s new episode has the rather-lengthy title of “Once Upon a Time in Wayward Pines,” and in many ways this is going to feel like taking a look through history … albeit a rather-brief one, since we’re mostly covering the amount of time since season 1.

Over the course of the hour, we’re going to get some answers as to how Jason rose to power, and also why Theo may be one of the most important residents of the town. Take a look at the synopsis below:

“In a series of flashbacks, we learn how and why Jason Higgins was raised to be the leader of the first generation and favored child of Wayward Pines. Meanwhile, Nurse Pam (guest star Melissa Leo) resurfaces and becomes a lethal threat to the town, and Theo continues to dig deeper into why he was specifically chosen to be part of the population of Wayward Pines.”

One of the things that the show has done that is rather wise here is that they aren’t exactly throwing everything at viewers at once in terms of surprises. They are giving you a little bit of what you can want in terms of returning characters in doses, and hopefully those of you who are season 1 faithful will stick around as a result.
