Persons Unknown - The Way Through, S01E03

At first, this episode was pretty predictable...I thought. I guessed at what was going to happen next, and was right, and despite the increase in the scale of psychological terror on the 7 victims, it didn't actually seem uniquely desperate, but those last moments, in which we learnt the name of Janet (Daisy Betts)'s deadbeat husband, those were fantastic.

Don't get me wrong, the whole bate and switch with the gas masks was interesting and entertaining. It was a great opportunity to see some character development - Graham (Chadwick Boseman) gave his to Moira (Tina Holmes), Charlie (Alan Ruck) refused to give his up, and Blackham (Sean O'Bryan) was willing to do anything to have one. And Blackham certainly deserved to get a face full of gas when the mask betrayed him (though Moira and Tori (Kate Lang Johnson) didn't). Plus, I love how much Joe (Jason Wiles) continues to support Janet.

But the real excitement was with our investigative reporter, Renbe (Gerald Kyd). Not only did he get his life threatened a second time when he refused to drop the story on Janet, but he also found info about the mom and daughter on the corrupt Private Investigator's computer.

Too bad the PI got him right back. Is Renbe Janet's disappeared husband? Is that why he has taken an interest in this case? Or is the entire thing a ploy on the part of the P.I.? Either is very possible!

Which do you think it is? Is the P.I. simply trying to make more trouble, or have we finally located Janet's errant husband?
