NBC’s ‘Revolution’ season 2, episode 8 preview: Will Rachel sacrifice her own father?
Last week on “Revolution,” the shocker was pretty substantial, as we had an opportunity to learn that Rachel Matheson’s own father was really the man responsible for inflicting mayhem on the town of Willoughby. He was the traitor, and that is hard to say for someone in Stephen Collins who once played a guy on “7th Heaven.”
But Wednesday night, Gene upped the ante somewhat by it being revealed to his daughter who he really is, and now she has a few important questions to ask herself: Can she forgive him for what he is done, and what is she going to do in order to protect everyone else from him? Is she willing to sacrifice his life?
Since the show has not put Elizabeth Mitchell through enough already, she will have this predicament on next week’s episode. You get the sense of that in a huge way in the promo below, where Charlie (now seemingly relegated back to being a teenage character, even though she is not) questions whether or not mom is going to blow up grandpa if she has to in order to survive. We don’t know how many other choices that she really has.
You can see at least a few more details away from the promo in the attached synopsis, at least when it comes to how some of the other characters are going to react to their own difficult circumstances:
“As Miles (Billy Burke) and the gang try to escape the perils of their current situation, Rachel (Elizabeth Mitchell) and Gene (Stephen Collins) continue to struggle with their relationship, which affects Charlie (Tracy Spiridakos). Meanwhile, Neville (Giancarlo Esposito) takes a gamble with the Patriots.”
The last thing that we are going to say for the time being here is that above all else, we really just what to see Neville interact with some of the other series regular characters again on a significant level. It’s been a long time, and it feels like the guy has earned it. Just don’t make him melt his face off to get it.
