The Gifted season 2 episode 9 (fall finale) preview: Forces collide!

The Gifted November 28, 2018

Want to know some of what’s coming on The Gifted season 2 episode 9? This is the final episode of the fall, and we certainly hope that the show finds a way to close out the year with the biggest bang possible. We’re pretty sure that there could be a big cliffhanger here, especially when you think that you have so many different forces and people all in one place.

Below, CarterMatt offered up the full The Gifted season 2 episode 9 synopsis with a little bit more information on what’s ahead:

Tensions within the Inner Circle are at an all-time high, as Andy comes to Rebecca’s defense against Reeva. After making an important discovery about Dr. Risman’s research, Lauren convinces Reed and Caitlin that they must take action to destroy it. Frustrated with not being taken seriously, Jace begins to strategize with the Purifiers. Meanwhile, the Mutant Underground continues to work on saving mutants. However, tensions flare between Blink and Thunderbird as they confront their differences in the all-new “gaMe changer” fall finale episode of THE GIFTED airing Tuesday, Dec. 4 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX. (GIF-209) (TV-14 L, V)

We certainly do think that all of the different stories are eventually going to come to a head here and with that, the idea is how to pick up the show following whatever we have a chance to see here.

What’s the state of the latest ratings?

The bad news at the moment is simply this: There is no guarantee that we’re going to be seeing The Gifted back for a third season. As a matter of fact, we’re certainly worried about it. To date, the show is averaging a 0.7 rating in the 18-49 demographic, which does put it at the low end of all of the scripted shows that are currently on the air over at Fox. If there is going to be a way for the series to turn things around, it’s going to need to happen with more live viewers and a larger pool of people talking about the show.

In general, though, what we’re perhaps seeing more than anything is the dangers that come with being a superhero show in 2018. There are so many of these now across so many different mediums that it’s hard for any of them to actually grab a consistent piece of the pie. Because of that in particular, it’s going to be hard for almost any of them to find a way forward — just look at some of what’s happening over at Netflix with their shows as a great example of it.
