Helix – 2.02 ‘Reunion’ Immortality isn’t so fun after all!

Alan is alive and not so well on the island. It quickly becomes crystal clear this dude’s got some major baggage going on. We see through his memories that stolen documents from Illyria led him to St. Germaine. This season all roads lead to St. Germaine.

Something weird is going on with Dr. Jordan.  Nosebleeds. Fatigue. Wait! Isn’t she suppose to be immortal? Our intrepid Doctor spies Alan in the crowd of grey robed cult members and succeeds in a second discovery. Isaac, who is either infected or has the worst case of acne the world has ever seen.

Brother Michael’s council was unnerving to say the least. Honestly, the more that man speaks the more I want to fun. Seeing him touch the pregnant woman’s stomach gave me the feeling that the dear brother has been sowing some seeds of his own. Eeew! Thankfully the meeting was interrupted by young boy, Soren, who also appears to be infected as well.

The appearance of the infected calls the team into action and Brother Michael “appears’ to be completely cooperative, so much so, he volunteers the name of the other infected member. Isaac.
The team goes in search of this Isaac in the basement and we all remember what happens in that basement!

In their underground search Peter has his own PTSD moment when he confronts Isaac. The Narvik King still lives in there somewhere! We see that same forceful determination when Sarah tells him Alan is on the island. Peter has a fit and falls in it over the news. Something tells me these guys won’t be hugging it out anytime soon!

Later the infected seem to solve their own problems when Soren miraculously recovers and Isaac commits suicide while simultaneously releasing …..spores? What? That was both terrifying and original at the same time!

Weird is the new normal on Helix! And, we get an amazing revelation when Sarah finally gets to confront Alan on her own. Turns out, she was pregnant with his child when she became immortal and is now perpetually, eternally pregnant! Wow! That is the worst side effect of becoming immortal. Ever!  Just as we are reeling from that bombshell, little Soren is led away out of the abby by a liar! The poor guy is left outside the gates as food, or tribute, or what? I don’t have a clue and Helix wants it that way!

Meanwhile in Future Timeline Dr. Waker is not a believer and sets off with shovel in hand to prove her theory. She digs up her long lost love’s grave  and makes two surprising discoveries. 1. This isn’t Alan Farragut and 2. a human hip bone with a map of the island carved in it. She and Caleb head out on the island following their new handy dandy bone GPS and make a gruesome discovery en route. A child’s remains with predation marks on the bones! Did everyone get that new term? Who knew Helix could be both creepy and educational!

Observations:

• Anne. No one likes a tattle tale. Mark my words. That Sister is trouble.

• Looks like Kyle’s charm finally paid off, but not in the way he wanted with one of the cult members. On St. Germaine Show-and-tell gets taken to a whole new level.

• Alan gave the famous Farragut Bat Signal for RUN! Get the hell out guys! Now!
