Hostages - Episode 1.05 - Truth and Consequences - Review

So there wasn't a big death on this week's Hostages.

The trailer was a bit misleading, but there was a death this week (note: the weekly death rate of this show is remarkably lower than that of CBS' other serialized drama Under the Dome). And the winner was... Angela!

I really didn't see that twist coming. Archer was supposed to fake Angela's death while locking her up in some place, but instead killed her (yes, for real this time) when she tried to run away. Duncan is furious, but as Archer says: "You don't get to kill the president and keep your hands clean." Duncan is a very interesting character, as he apparantly doesn't want to have more casualities than one (the president). He doesn't want anyone else to get hurt. We'll see how that goes when Ellen's sister unexpectedly shows up next week.

But there were many more twists in the episode. Ellen killed someone: she led a rapist bleed out in the ER. Furthermore, Duncan lets Archer get arrested as he is trying to tie up some loose ends. I really like these twists as they are quite unpredictable.

Elsewhere, Duncan forced Morgan to break up with Boyd, Sandrine got beaten up by a guy she ownes money too, Jake called home to make sure his parents were still alive (and to get himself traced, is he really that stupid?), Ellen discovers Morgan's pregnancy and Sandrine and Kramer open up to each other.

Check below for the trailer of next week's episode (low quality unfortunately) and some footage from future episodes, including Brian stabbing Duncan, a kiss between Sandrine and Kramer, co-conspirator Quinten collapses, Secret Service agent Hofmann is shot, Archer has problems in prison and Ellen and Duncan kiss (!!).
