Happy Tuesday TV fans! After watching Fox’s The Passage season 1 episode 8, Shauna reminded us that “you always have a choice,” but will you make the right one? After all, “things are gonna start to get scary.” So which path do you choose? Do you dive into the darkness or do you fight your way back toward the light? Please note spoilers are ahead if you have not gotten a chance to watch yet. In last night’s episode, “You Are Not That Girl Anymore,” we learn more about Clark’s connected past with Shauna and start to understand their relationship more. Meanwhile, Amy’s condition takes a turn for the worse, as Dr. Sykes and Lila work together to try and save her, and Lacey is on her way. My top 5 moments from The Passage season 1 episode 8 are:
5
“I don’t do riddles, dude. Just say what you mean.”
During the episode, Amy’s condition worsens, as she deals with Fanning in her mind. Fanning says, “The end is near, my dear,” but Amy is not buying it. Fanning tries to approach Amy as her friend, but Amy recognizes that this is a trap. However, temptation is still present, as Amy must make a very important decision that will determine her fate. Will she choose a path of darkness or light?

“She’s not your twelfth.”
In last week’s episode, Carter tried to warn Amy and I was unsure of his intentions. However, in this episode, Carter stands up to Fanning and tries to protect Amy, which proves that there is still some humanity left inside him. Carter recognizes that the monster is there, but is his humanity strong enough to conquer it? Fanning keeps explaining that they need twelve, but why? Will this make him invincible? There are still so many unanswered questions surrounding this, but it looks like we are about to find out more.

“You want to change the locks.”
Guilder makes the announcement that he is rebooting Project Noah and everyone is relieved of their duties. Dr. Sykes is still determined to find a way to save Amy. However, this becomes difficult when they are locked out, as Guilder turns over the security protocol to Martinez, who is actually Subject Two. Good job, Guilder. Clark does not give up, as they use Grey’s clearance to get inside. Dr. Sykes teams up with Lila and they try to stop the virus so Amy doesn’t turn. After several tests, it seems like they get a lucky break, as they determine that Amy’s cells will block Fanning’s virus with this antiviral. However, Grey continues to be Fanning’s lap dog, as he locks Sykes inside and attacks Lila before they can get the antiviral to Amy. Hopefully Lila will be OK, but Grey continues to be a pest, as Fanning uses him like a puppet.

“You are not that girl anymore.”
During the episode, we get an important glimpse into Clark and Shauna’s past together. Shauna tries to escape and Clark tracks her down and takes her to a diner. Shauna asks him to tell her something real and Clark opens up about previously wanting to be a writer. Shauna tells him that she would read his poems and it’s clear that there is an undeniable connection between these two. However, Clark’s men arrive and take Shauna back to Project Noah, as she feels hurt and betrayed, reminding Clark that “you always have a choice.”
In present day, Shauna continues to tap into Clark’s mind and tells him, “The only way you make it out alive is with me.” Clark initially seems to be really considering this, but ultimately decides to kiss Shauna, revealing that he did feel something for the lost girl from Vegas, but that she is no longer that girl and he will kill her. But will Shauna kill him first for his betrayal? We’ll have to stay tuned to find out.

“You can do anything you want with your life.”
Toward the end of the episode, Fanning presents Amy with a choice. She will ride her bike through a dark tunnel and all she needs to do is make it to the other side to accept her fate or she can stay in the tunnel and die. Amy is very conflicted about what to do, but Brad stays by her side in the cell, as her fever gets worse. Brad tells Amy, “You can break your promise to me. If you have to, you can let go. I love you no matter what.” These words are so real and inspiring; reminding us just how strong the bond is between these two. Amy is at a crossroads and ultimately makes the courageous decision to turn her bike around and ride past Fanning into the light. Amy wakes up, just as all of the cages around them open and Brad realizes that they have to get out of there quickly. So, here we go. The cages are open and the vampires are free, as Brad grabs Guilder and they barely make it into the elevator without a scrape. The last scene leaves us with Amy and her glowing eyes. I mean, talk about a cliffhanger!
We know that Amy did not get the antiviral in time, but she also didn’t accept Fanning’s offer. Amy didn’t die like Elizabeth; however, as it seems like her choice to accept the light has transformed her into something else. Is she now more powerful than Fanning? Will anyone be able to stop the vampires now that they are free? I can’t wait to find out, as we approach the season finale next week. Are you ready?
