To be honest, I didn’t feel like much happened in this week’s episode. Yes, we see Tessa confront her family. That was kind of big. After all, it seemed to really open up Sarah’s mother to the idea of talking to her again. We found out Sarah’s big secret: That she almost left with Tessa when she left the movement. We also see Hawk struggling once again with his feelings for Ashley and his place in the movement. And we see Gaines gain ground on with his case against Sarah. Other than Eddie finding out about Cal and Sarah hooking up, that’s really all the big stuff that happened.

In this episode we did finally get to see Ashley confess to Hawk why she left him. And instead of being mad at Cal he chooses to not believe it, and abandon Ashley. Ouch. I mean he knows in his heart she is right and Cal isn’t the man that he portrays himself to be, so it’s frustrating to me he doesn’t trust that instinct. Instead Hawk chooses to punish himself for missing their restitution ceremony and submit himself to be cleansed. I can only hope that during his time in seclusion he sees the real truth, and forgives Ashley. I still believe she will be the key to getting Hawk on his father’s side.

We already see that Sarah’s father is in support of Eddie. And Summer is too. Summer being as young and impressionable as she is, still cares for her father deeply and doesn’t seem to care she has to sneak to see him. She is just happy that she can see him. But Eddie is still struggling. He has no clue what direction to go. He is still doing training with Felicia and Richard, but feels he’s not worthy of leading the movement. I think that doubt is what makes him an even better leader. Unlike Cal who thinks he’s God’s gift, and Sarah who makes the stupidest decisions ever.

I was happy to see that Richard knew he needed to give Eddie an extra push to make sure he stuck with what they were doing. Richard knows Eddie needs to lead the movement, as it was Steve’s will. But with Eddie doubting himself, Richard had to play dirty. So when Richard pocketed Sarah’s box from the restitution ceremony with her confession about sleeping with Cal, it was just what he needed to know he needs to step in and help the movement. He needs to stop Cal, and Sarah. If only Eddie knew just how deep a hole Sarah has dug herself into. He thinks it’s just the Cal slip up. He has no idea she made choices that could bury the entire movement. Only Gaines, the FBI, Cal, and the people she blackmailed know. And pretty soon her dirty little secret will be exposed. One could only hope that somehow Cal gets buried too. Because I will be very salty if I invest all this time into this show just to see the creepiest character get off scot free.

Is it mean if I hope that the truth comes out about Cal and Sarah’s affair and it turns everyone against them? Because I really hope it does. We already see Mary, who is always “Team Cal” pulling away. So that gives me hope that others may start to see the light as well. No pun intended. I can’t help but wonder if Mary really will leave the movement with Sean or if she’s just saying she will. I guess we will have to wait and find out.

One thing I was wondering about is the whole Clarksville thing. We learned that Marshall the farmer died. But Hawk, who was very passionate about helping them still has no clue. I wonder if he is going to find out in the next episode, or if he will even care at this point. I mean, Hawk is kind of going through his own stuff at the moment. But I can only hope that if he does find out about it that it will be an extra push for him to see the movement for what it is. Can you imagine if both Hawk and Summer side with Eddie? That would be ideal. I mean Sarah is going to be sitting in a jail cell soon, so I’m sure they’d go with him. Unless of course they have no choice but to stay in the movement since the “Denier” policy is still in place. I can’t wait to see how this all plays out. I really can’t wait to see Sarah and Cal crash and burn, and I am sure I am not the only one.
