Helix Season 2 Epi 8 Review: Sister Amy For The Win!

Last week's episode concluded with Father Michael poisoning his congregates so he could start anew. In "Vade In Pace" Michael gives the order to Landry to "purify" the CDC and bring him Sarah.

Michael visits Amy. She pretends to be on Michael's side in order to escape. They kiss (yuck) and it look like they'll do the deed. Just then Landry and the remaining men enter. They take Michael prisoner. Sister Amy for the win! Michael says he will survive long after they are all dead. Amy responds by having Michael thrown in the same pit that Peter, Alan and Anne once occupied. She declares it his "monument" and has the men seal the opening with bricks and mortar.

The Calvary Has Arrived. Let's Hope This Is Not A Reenactment Of The Battle Of Little Bighorn.

Peter and Alan get into a fist fight. You too are becoming irritating. Get over it already! Soldiers arrive from the mainland. They bring news that the pathogen is spreading. They want to evacuate the survivors but many of the CDC have their own agenda. Alan and Sarah do an autopsy on one of the infected to determine how he has survived longer than the usual incubation period. This may help them find a cure.

Peter goes off to help Anne give the dead a proper burial. It seems those two have developed a bond since being in the hole together. Sarah refuses to leave without her baby. Kyle (who now knows about the immortals) goes with the soldiers.

Immortal Baby To The Rescue!

Sarah encounter Sister Amy who says she's in charge now. Sarah wants to know where the baby is. Glad you asked. He's in this incubation chamber we keep hidden in this lovely turn of the century bureau. Uh how is it a bunch of farmers have an incubator? Let's forget we noticed that. Amy will give Sarah the baby IF Sarah agrees to makes Amy immortal. Was I the only one freaked out when the baby opened it's eye and they were silver? Are we going to have an immortal fetus terrorizing everyone? That might be entertaining.

Dont Loose Your Head Michael

In the future Julia is on Saint Germaine island looking for the cure. She goes inside the abbey and hears tapping. She digs up Michael. He's a little worse for wear but is still alive. She asks to be taken to the baby (so she can use it's stem cells to heal the sick immortals including herself). He takes her to a cliff where he says the baby is hidden. But Michael turns on her and pushes he off the cliff. While she's hanging on for dear life, Caleb sneaks up behind Michael and beheads him with Hatake's sword. Does this episode blow my theory that Caleb is Sarah and Alan's love child? I'm not sure.
