You VS Me
Pat is surprised to see Brayden in front of him. It’s an image of the Crooked Man that he saw in his dream.
Pat and Brayden are trying to help the young boy, who is infected with the energy, but he is too angry and full of hatred to listen. Brayden disappears from view.
In the lab, Pat reveals that he plans to use Dion’s DNA to try and formulate a cure. Given Pat’s echoed powers seem to have a connection to Nicole’s infection, it’s all up to him to try and save the day. Thanks to Kat’s intervention, she helps nudge him in the right direction. ..
Nicole and Pat are interrupted by one of the swamp creatures, which is captured and brought in for examination. Only, it’s clearly not the same one that initially attacked her. BIONA soon realize they’re dealing with more than one monster. When Suzanne finds out, she sets up a quarantine.
Pat comes out of the hospital feeling despair and talking to Nicole about how hopeless all of this is. He’s not sure they’ll be able to fix up the infection and worries that he needs more time to perfect the formula.
When Janelle hears this though, she suddenly uses her powers to isolate the different components of the mixture. It seems to do the trick and after separating the DNA strand, everyone realizes that Janelle’s powers aren’t completely destructive.
Pat’s serum back at the lab doesn’t work until it doesn’t. The man they test it on unfortunately loses consciousness before he can turn back completely and dies. I guess it’s back to the drawing board!
Meanwhile, Dion is taken out to the serenity of the woods with Aunt Kat and Tevin. However, Brayden happens to be across the pond watching them from afar while Tevin and Dion play tag. Esperanza soon rings though, admitting she’s having trouble with her performance and needs some words of encouragement. Of course, Dion says just the right thing to help. ..
Brayden gets inside Tevin’s head and encourages him to kill Dion. When Tevin catches up with Dion again, he starts to use his powers. Thankfully Tevin manages to see through the mind control long enough to encourage Dion to run. Unfortunately, a whole swarm of birds circle around Dion, knocking him down as Brayden catches up.
The Episode Review
This episode is all about Dion and her search for her family. We see her try to find them in various places, including a mental hospital, a carnival, and even a haunted house. Dion also has to face some challenges on her journey, including being chased by the police and being forced to take on a dangerous task.
However, the storyline involving Dion and Brayden, along with the Crooked Man between them, is nicely developed and this chapter thankfully puts more emphasis on that. There haven’t been too many scenes of romance in the middle of this episode bogging it down either, allowing us to actually focus on the plot involving Dion and the issues he’s had to tackle. ..
The final few episodes of the season seem to be setting up a major showdown between the two main characters.
