Official synposis: Laila works on the next clock for Vincent, but also realizes she must help Hank find her by leaving a trail of clues. Meanwhile, Hank, Arron and Rachel use a tip from the FBI to discover a link between a famous person in history and the next clock.
Lots of strangeness in this episode. Here's the basics of what happened plus a whole lotta stuff I'm confused about.
White Vincent still has Laila in tow. Why? We don't know. Apparently she was the only clock fixer available for his apocalypse world tour. Vincent asks her lots of questions about Hank (such as where they met). It was at an exhibition of the Corpus Clock. And to make matters stranger, that is a REAL clock:http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?v=VsMwueAj2QU&desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DVsMwueAj2QU That scary locust is called a Chronophage (an eater of time). At the top of the hour you hear the chains on your coffin. Ekkkkk.
WV asks Laila how she knows love is real. She goes off on some tirade about how she can see Hank's love every time he looks at her, blah, blah, blah. Enough already. This is not "The Notebook". Less talking, more locusts.
Hank's priest friend tries to find more info on the Rosicrucians. Another priest tells him the sect is called “The Shepherds.” Their mission is to protect the holiest of relics. They are protecting them from “The Great Pyrates.” Or is "Great Pirates"? Cause ya know pirates like to steal stuff and other people's wives.
Hank corners WV in an abandoned building. That guy just loves old buildings. WV screams at him and tries to see "the flaw" but looking in his eyeball. During the fight one of WVs contacts falls out and Hank sees his eye. Beck runs in and shoots WV but runs out of ammo. And there is some master plan that brought her into the picture because WV says her husband was killed on purpose. Everyone else on the plane was collateral damage.
What's up with the strange kid and the woman with the locust tank? I personally prefer them over grasshoppers but that's just me. The kid reminded me of Damien from "The Omen".
Anyway, it turns out Einstein was a New Apostle. He hid clues in his formulas. His clock is in a tree (that is guarded by Keebler elves). His final deathbed message that was hidden in the clock is:
“I have always regretted the role I played in the development of the atomic bomb. However I have a chance to atone for that now. To stop something even more destructive. The line has been crossed. The line that once separated man from his creator. We have found a way to destroy not only man, but God.”
Anybody have any idea what that means? I'm not sure but I think it involves locusts (or is the plural loci)?

Grade: 4 Monsters (out of 5). I had my doubts about this show to start with but the craziness is growing on me.
Zero Hour was canceled yesterday. Such a shame since it was starting to develop a following. I hope they shoe the remainder the episodes that are already available.
