"At 36 minutes before credits, the penultimate episode of Gen V 's second season is its shortest yet. And while it does everything it sets out to do, setting up a new version of an old threat just in time for the season finale, it could use a little more meat on its bones. I was fairly entertained watching this episode, but it's all starting to feel a bit perfunctory, especially for those who figured out the big Cipher twist a while ago."
"When the two arrive at Cipher's house, he and his "father" are gone. Polarity is there, though, and he knows he can exploit Cipher's otherwise effortless mind-control abilities with his own electromagnetic pulses. And he's even more powerful after Marie heals him during one of his seizures, curing him of his tremors altogether. Sean Patrick Thomas gets another great acting moment here with Polarity's tearful relief at feeling healthy again."
