The only thing I enjoyed about this episode was watching Troglodyte Logan get told off, first by Flynn, then by Lucy. Wyatt is my least favorite, non-Rittenhouse character right now.

(Honestly, it's all a huge mess I could have done without.)

I agree.

I loved Emma turning on Rittenhouse. Finally not evil for the sake of evil. For once. It definitely worked for me.

It did seem like she found a line that she couldn't cross, but it was only to save herself, not to help anyone else. And then as soon as she got home, she went right back to the Super Creep's bed. I'm sorry, but that doesn't make any sense. And I don't see Rittenhouse as being evil for the sake of evil. They have a plan, a stupid plan, but a plan nonetheless. They want to fundamentally change the character of American society by making it even less free, more inequitable, and much less diverse. They want to undo all of the positive changes that have happened and consolidate political and economic power in the hands of a few white men. Kind of like the Trump administration...

The image they found of Jessica points to what we've all been fearing: that Jessica is Rittenhouse. I'm not making any more guesses. There is just no way they can resolve any of this without breaking hearts.

It points to something. Here is the question that not a single person in this fandom can answer for me: If Jessica is working for Rittenhouse, why hasn't she already revealed the location of the Time Team bunker to them? What is she waiting for?

(If the writers can come up with an acceptable explanation, I will be very surprised.)

All the picture proves is that she was on their radar. It doesn't even prove that it was something they did in the past that resurrected her in the present. (Doesn't it seem odd that no one has yet even attempted to figure out how that happened? I hope the picture gets Agent Christopher on the case!)

The best resolution for Jessica at this juncture would be if she told Wyatt, I'm done playing soldier's wife here in the bunker. I want a life of my choosing, and this isn't it. Come away with me, if you want to be with me. If she's really the love of his life, he'll go with her. If I was writing an ending to the series, that would wrap up their arc nicely.

If she's being used by Rittenhouse, I don't think she's aware of it. From what we know of her character, I don't think she's that good of an actress or that smart of an operative.
