The show just started, so this isn't a comment about this particular episode.  

But are Bex and our guys the only team out there looking for the killers?  Because it seems a little too convenient that they've never had to worry about two or five of the escapees trying to murder new victims on the same day.  It is like this week's killer sat and found out some how that the team had caught the wolf woman and Dr. Malek from last week and thought, "Okay then!  I guess I'm up now.   Eugene, Oregon here I come!"

Pretty good ep. I will say opening scene with Barber in the car the way they lit him up was scary looking. My one problem was why would you shoot at Barber while he's right next to the victims?

Somehow I didn't set this one to record, so I only saw the last 20 or so minutes. Anything important happen in the first half?

Mostly that the team made a series of really good deductions to figure out that Barber was in league with the women whose husbands he killed, and they somehow found different IDs and lives afterward.  The how and what were a little sketchy to me, but whatever.

I found it a bit farfetched that Barber gets on a train in Portland, gets off in Mt. Shasta (320+ miles) and the team barely catches up with him there.  I guess the production team has never ridden Amtrak.  It's at least 8-10 hours long.

Whatever could be in Silo 12?

Roy Barber story is quite complex and twisty, the most interesting so far.

Those women wanted to be free from their unhappy marriages so Roy made everything looked like they died with their husbands. Basically, they used each other. 

It feels so tedious that Oliver is still longing for Bex after all these years. 😣

Oliver’s handler approaches AG Mallory to force Hassani to back down.

Is the government hiding something worse than The Pit? 👀

They didn't skip by the last episode like it didn't happen, Bec was having flashs from the last episode of dieing and coming back.

There is probably a Pit where they keep the foreign and domestic terrorists and international war criminals and dictators.

This episode seemed a little too violent.
