TV Shows - Falling Skies

Synopsis (Silent Kill - Air Date: Sunday July 10, 2011)

The plot to rescue Ben is finally amping up (haven't they been saying "We'll get Ben tomorrow" for weeks?), and the captured skitter is still chillin' at home base. By the end of the episode, one of them is going to be much worse off. But which one?

Before the big rescue mission happens, though, we get a look at some of the dynamics at John F. Kennedy high school (a.k.a. home base for the 2nd Mass). Margaret is struggling to fit in, having awkward run-ins with pregnant ladies. Lourdes approaches her and asks her to show up to the baby shower, but Margaret is hesitant. She's much more content to quasi-flirt with Hal. Is this going to happen now?

By the end of the episode, we see Margie soften up a bit...and attend the baby shower. All that's left is to see if she and Hal hook up by the end of season one.

Anne, meanwhile, is dealing with the ghosts of her past while still trying to solve the mystery of the captive skitter. We learn through Uncle Scott that Anne had a family, and lost them all during the attack. But that doesn't stop her from still serving the skitter water...that is, until Harris tries to get in close and the skitter attacks. Is Harris toast? Yep. If you, like me, fell victim to the show's attempts to make us hate Harris from the minute we met him, then you're probably pretty happy right now.
