"Last week was all about the emotional toll killing people, rescuing people, and discovering people-killers has taken on our motley crew. This week is all about action. As we near the finale, tensions are mounting to a fever pitch. We're entering the part of the story which should compel a reader to read while walking, and the show delivers in creating a viewing experience that replicates that"
"As it turns out, Axel's main passion in life, besides killing people, was journaling. He made sure to include a photo of Zoë in his little red book, with a caption explaining she was Joe's wife. In brute force, Zoë is no match for Amos - he could probably take her down with a stare. But unfortunately for him,"
After an emotionally heavy week, the story pivots to high-paced action as tensions rise toward the finale. A standout sequence places Zoë on a train to Scotland where she narrowly escapes Amos's grip. Amos realizes he is being followed and discovers Axel's journal containing a photo that identifies Zoë as Joe's wife. Axel's private writings reveal his obsession with killing and documenting victims. Zoë cannot overpower Amos physically, so she relies on interpersonal connection. On the train she adopts an alias, engages a chatty American couple, and uses games and conversation to delay Amos until they go to bed.
