![]() ![]() ![]() The death may not be murder, but it is criminal negligence due to the potency of the drugs. As Jesse puts it, it’s “eBay for all your illicit needs”. They both subconsciously fear who they’re becoming.The death of an elderly woman leads the SJPD to a site called Tempest’s Way, where drugs can be bought and sold. The monsters they’re confronting are not their enemies. In the end, both Henry and Alex are wrong. Alex believes she needs to save her 13-year-old self (Eliana Jones) from the people responsible for her parents’ deaths. Henry assumes her mission is to save four-year-old Henry (very well portrayed by Carina Battrick) from Clay, who is particularly menacing since he is not constrained by a wheelchair. Both encounter younger versions of themselves and try desperately to protect the children from a looming threat. However, their arcs in these specific episodes share similarities. Alex’s trauma is different from Henry’s, and I don’t mean to conflate the two. If you’ve seen The CW’s black ops drama Nikita, Henry’s mental journey in episode eight actually reminds me a lot of the one Alex (Lyndsy Fonseca) goes on while sedated in the season one episode “Echoes.” She tries her hardest to get him to apologize until someone helps her realize that she doesn’t need Clay to see that justice is done. He owes it to Henry, and she knows he does. That version of Clay isn’t willing to admit to what he did either, let alone apologize. While in a prolonged seizure, Henry comes face-to-face with Clay again but in her mind. The only way to break that cycle is to recognize that you’re in it, which the other Boone son, Lucas (Craig Arnold), has started to do. As I wrote in my pilot react, violence is often more cyclical than spontaneous. He also owes it to himself if he wants to be more than another Bill Boone. I doubt he will, but he does owe that to Henry. You can’t become a better person in the future if you can’t see yourself for who you are in the present.Ĭlay should admit what he did. I would like to believe that, too, but the only way it works is if people accept responsibility for the wrong thing they did. What stood out the most to me was this line: “I believe that people are more than the worst thing they’ve ever done.” The speaker Bryan Stevenson, a lawyer and civil rights advocate, gave an incredible speech, which partially focused on the criminal justice system.

That reveals later sets Cleo on the warpath, quite rightly but at a very dangerous time, as the Boones and the Millers prepare for their “meeting.” Jenna also reveals something Henry doesn’t actually know she’s aware of, which is that “Henry is afraid of all of the Boones.” Not wanting to betray Henry’s trust, Jenna is hesitant to speak up, but she does confirm what Cleo had already been suspecting: that Clay tried to rape Henry. ![]() Jenna, as highly empathetic as she is, feels bad about how much guilt Cleo is putting on herself and is then put in an awkward position when Cleo asks if Henry told her what happened. Henry is in such an emotional state that Cleo doesn’t fully understand what she’s saying, though Cleo understands enough to know something horrible happened.Ĭleo is devastated that she was not there for Henry and even came down hard on her multiple times because she didn’t see that Henry was acting out for a reason. With that in mind, I couldn’t resist adapting Superman’s famous catchphrase to help break down Impulse‘s most cinematic episode yet.Īt the end of episode seven, just before collapsing into Cleo’s (Missi Pyle) arms, Henry starts trying to tell her mom that Clay (Tanner Stine) assaulted her.
