At the start of the episode, John Doe (Rodger Corser) tries to bring the doctor back to life. Soon, Chris Rennox (John Leary) arrives and offers him assistance. During this time, John sees something from the future and notices a girl. John refuses and goes on his own way. The following day, John walks along the road. He becomes distracted by the dead animals on the road. It appears that they might be repairing themselves. He is hit by a vehicle driven by Millie (Anna McGahan). Millie, Sophie (Maria Angelico), and Isha (Elizabeth Esguerra) get out and check on him. John calls himself William and he notices that Millie is the girl from his earlier vision.

William is just fine. The girls agree to give him a ride. They make a stop at a nearby gas station. William gets something to eat and he notices a postcard that has a picture of the Ferris wheel in his earlier vision. Millie buys the postcard and lets William have it. William is given a change of shirt outside and the girls notice the wounds on his back. We learn that Millie is a scientist. William mentions Elishia McKellar. The girls try to learn more about William. He insists everyone he knows is gone and he wants to go to the Ferris wheel. Millie agrees to take him there.

Soon, William spots the Ferris wheel in the distance and says this is where he needs to be. During this time, Mark Clayton-Stone (Dustin Clare) tries to track them down. He goes to the same gas station and shows the clerk pictures. It is a new clerk so the man knows nothing. Mark steps outside and finds William’s bloody shirt in the trashcan. He goes back inside and checks CCTV footage. He spots the vehicle and calls in the license plate number. William and Millie find out that the Ferris wheel is closed. He tells Millie about McKellar’s death. William promises that he is not trying to sleep with Millie so she agrees to take him with her to the club.

Meanwhile, Kate (Emma Booth) and Owen (Luke Arnold) run into problems. The tire goes flat and they’re unable to get a signal on their phone. They decide to go back to the club they passed a few minutes ago. They make it back and Rob (Tom Budge) lets them inside. He doesn’t have a phone so they’ll have to wait. Kate checks Owen’s phone and notices that it is in airplane mode. That is why he didn’t have a signal. He goes outside to use the phone and the conversation between Rob and Kate gets awkward. She realizes the something is wrong. Owen and Rob team up against her and prevent her from leaving. Owen eventually tells her that his sister has breast cancer. He cannot let her die.

He wants to give her a blood transfusion using Kate’s blood. He agrees to let Kate go if she agrees to do that so she does. Kate draws her own blood a short time later. William has another vision at the club. He remembers being in jail after getting whipped. His wounds begin healing on their own. He tells the priest that he died and came back to life. He explains that he came back because he has a purpose. When he comes back to reality, he tells Millie that he died and came back. He explains that he must have a purpose. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have come back. He rushes off to the bathroom and tries to collect himself.

William throws water on his face and shuts off the faucet. He notices that a water droplet has stopped in mid air. Millie enters and notices it as well. They tell the other girls a short time later but they do not want to hear it. Millie tells William about her new job with experimental physics and that a lot of data has been coming in that they cannot explain. We see a video of water curving when it comes out of a woman’s faucet. Millie explains that the universe has been expanding and it is accelerating. It will not be able to do that forever. It will tear at some point. Some believe that the process has just started. She speaks about the weird magnetic spikes. Millie prepares to leave with her girlfriends but William wants to know more.

As they prepare to leave, Mark shows up and tries to convince William to get into his van. Instead, a scuffle ensues. William gets the better of Mark and Millie gets involved too. William and Millie make a run for it before the cops can arrive. While Mark tries to calm down, Kirstie (Hannah Monson) and Charlie (Sean Keenan) strolls by and enter a pharmacy. Charlie is told to buy some chewing gum while Kirstie steals a pregnancy test. Then, they leave together. Owen’s sister is introduced to Kate. Kate makes everyone leave before she starts the blood transfusion.

While they’re alone, the sister begins talking about death and being afraid. Kate tries to convince her that everything will be fine. Kate says that she’ll look after Owen when she is gone. Once it is done, Kate finds out that Rob and Gary (Eddie Baroo) want to sell her on the dark web. Owen makes the suggestion that they should get in touch with Noregard. Owen and Kate concoct a plan to escape. Kate makes it outside but Gary pulls a gun on her. Owen tackles him and throws the keys to Kate. During the scuffle, Owen is shot and left bloody on the ground. Kate rushes towards the truck with Gary chasing behind her. Kate stops at a phone booth and calls the authorities.

William is taken back to Millie’s apartment. She admits that her boyfriend would be upset if he found out. She explains that he is very possessive and doesn’t want her to go to Chicago for work. William tells her that it is nice to have a choice. She tells him about the theory that a material can be used against dark matter. She suggests that all matter will be torn apart and the world will cease to exist. The lights begin blinking in the apartment and throughout the city. William and Millie step out onto the balcony and the scene is identical to William’s earlier vision. He tells Millie that this is what he saw. He believes he saw the future as the lights continue blinking on and off.

Eventually, they shut off for good and William sees the priest. The priest fulfills William’s final request of taking him outside and letting him see the stars. The priest offers to speak out on William’s behalf and try to save him from execution. William tells him not to do that. He needs to die because he will tear the world apart. He believes that his execution will save the world. William tells Millie that it is happening against because McKellar brought them back. He says he has to stop the end of everything from happening. William leaves Millie and the lights come back on. In the morning, Kate is parked on the side of the road. A trucker pulls up and stops. She asks to use the woman’s phone. She calls James (Patrick Brammall).

James tries to calm her down. He tells her to hitch a ride to Yoorana and they’ll meet at the lake house. James promises that he is going to take care of everything. The trucker agrees to give Kate a ride back to Yoorana. James spots William on the road and pulls over. William explains that he is headed back to Yoorana too. James offers to give him a ride. William asks about the baby. He notices the blood coming out of James’ ear too. William makes a run for it and James chases after him. They begin to fight. William tells James he knows what he is. He is the same. William says that everyone who came back has to die and James agrees.

 

Glitch Review

Boy, Glitch is moving at a lightning-fast pace. I am starting to feel like this might be the last season of the show. The returned may find a solution to their problem though. Otherwise, everyone is going to end up dead. It seems that James and William will now be working together to kill the others. That should be very interesting. We also have Mark out there and Phil too. Things could go in many directions and I am eager to see which path the writers choose.

The episode was very good. It scores an 8 out of 10. Catch up with previous recaps of Glitch before you go!
