Happy Wednesday TV fans! After watching USA network’s The Purge season 2 episode 9, Ms. Lorelai’s Corner for kids taught us that “The Purge gives your mommies and daddies the freedom to accomplish things they never thought possible.” You know, like murder…
Please note spoilers are ahead if you have not gotten a chance to watch the latest episode yet.
In last night’s episode, “Hail Mary,” Purge Night is officially here, as our main characters are all tested. Meanwhile, Ben gets a wake-up call, Marcus tries to fight fire with peace, and Esme winds up in a dangerous situation.
My top 5 moments from The Purge season 2 episode 9 are:
5
“He won’t stop until you’re dead.”
Clint and the neighborhood watch are out for revenge, surrounding Marcus’s house. Their plan is to smoke Marcus out, but he refuses to fight fire with fire, recognizing that he would become just like them. Marcus explains that there has to be another way, but can one really reason with someone on Purge Night?

“I’m trying to give you a gift.”
We learn that Ben has had the urge to Purge since he was little, enjoying Ms. Lorelai’s Corner a little too much, while taking his anger out on his action figures. Glad to see that the NFFA is shaping the youth of America so well.
Ben tells Turner that he wants to give him a gift and says that he has to Purge Scotty or he will kill him. Turner has been a coward throughout the entire season and he doesn’t stand up to Ben here either, finally giving in to the pressure to survive.
After going out to enjoy the festivities of Purge Night, Ben finally gets a reality check when he is surrounded by a group of Purgers wearing God masks. Ben tries to tell them that he’s on their team, but they are out for blood and he better start running…

“I need to turn you into a ghost.”
Esme continues her plan to shut down the NFFA headquarters, working with the resistance member she met with before. Esme needs to be turned into a ghost so that the NFFA cannot hunt her down, but things go horribly wrong when the van crashes, leaving Esme right in the middle of the city on Purge Night.
The bounty is quite the incentive, as Purgers start to recognize Esme, so she better make a run for it. Let’s hope she can make it out of this alive, but it will not be easy.
You can do this, girl!

“Let’s go be thieves.”
Ryan and his group continue with their plan to break Tommy out, as Tommy and several other inmates are volunteered as tribute for an annual Purge Hunt for rich people. Ryan pays his way in, but things get tricky when they find out that they will all be using weapons that their ancestors used.
Oh and don’t forget, there will be trophies this year!
Ryan is able to save Tommy and the others, but he ends up in a dangerous situation of his own. Luckily, the group is able to find him and save him before he is buried alive, but will they be able to pull off the rest of their heist now that Tommy is back in action?
I can’t wait to find out!

“You want to Purge me…Purge me!”
You tell them, Marcus! Marcus’s strategy seems to be working at first, as Sam suddenly realizes that he doesn’t have the stomach for the Purge after all. Marcus and Michelle save him and trade him for Clint, but Marcus tells Clint that he just wants to talk things out.
At first, Clint seems to be willing to compromise, understanding that the Purge will not bring his wife back, but he decides to stab poor Michelle in the neck anyway, trying to take her away from Marcus to even the score.
The rest of the group let Marcus go; now realizing that perhaps this wasn’t the best idea, but Michelle’s life is in immediate danger.
Marcus is trying to get Michelle to the Triage since the hospitals are closed, but of course things get more than interesting when they pick up Ben after almost running him down.
As we approach the season finale, there are a lot of players in place, but we’ll have to see how this all ends.
I am super excited for the cameo from Ethan Hawke in next week’s episode as well, bringing us right back to the original movie that started it all!
Stay tuned!
