Ive written before thatJude Laws face is the real starofThe Third Day.
After tonights episode, its safe to say that Naomie Harriss face shares top billing.
But Helenhasto keep it together, shehasto maintain the serene and peaceful front.
But you’re able to see everything shes holding back, written all over her face.
That includes Nathan, the son she believes was murdered.
He was a difficult child, angry and violent.
The last thing she said to him before he was abducted was that she wished hed never been born.
Its hard to say.
Either way, it doesnt work out well for the kids.
Lus situation, by contrast, is not attractive just dangerous.
Jess pulls out a knife; Lu runs for her life.
Even as her daughters deal with all this, Helen nears the end of her journey.
As she approaches the big house, walking along Oseas pebble-strewn shore, a voice calls for her.
Its Sam, looking thoroughly broken.
We see his face.
We see her face.
Her quest is complete.
But at the same time, its only the beginning.
(Even the Martins, who spend the episode doing their usual lie-and-then-admit-it two-step.)
Shell want to reunite the family, whove now scattered to the four winds.
These dont seem like people who will let any of them go without a fight, thats for sure.
Thats a lot of ground for the final episode of the show to cover.
