Outcasts... the penultimate episode

Wasn't Cass a naughty boy this episode, eh? Just when we thought him and Fleur were finally going to get it together, he goes and spoils it all. Running off for a quick drunken shag with a woman caught up in all kinds of domestic marital troubles, he ends up nearly getting buries alive in a container full of sand. Not pleasant at all.

And acting as a counterpoint to all this, we had perhaps one of the most chilling moments of the series so far - Richard Tate coming face to face with his 'alien' twin. The mysterious copy-cats from last episode return, with a few words of warning for the colonists. Apparently they're all going to die. In his desperation Tate goes off to the mountains to try and get the AC leader to help him. Big mistake. All he gets for his efforts are bruises. We also find out that the 'aliens' seem OK with the AC's living on Carpathia and that only the Forthaven residents are 'prey'. According to Tate's mysterious twin, they will soon end up like the fossilised remains on the beach. Spooky.

As we found out more about Cass's shady past, I think we all breathed a collective sigh of dissapointment that he had screwed things up quite so badly with Fleur, prompting her to let loose and shack up with Jack. See what all those human emotions have done? Forthaven could quite easily descend into a hotbed of Eastenders-esque affairs.

And then we have the brilliant twist at the end, Julius calling up his buddies on the space-ship floating in orbit around Carpathia (which still hasn't landed), finding out that Fleur might not be entirely 'normal', or even fully human.

All brilliant stuff. My only worry is how can they possibly wrap all this up in one final episode? I eagerly await next week...
