Well, I kind of had it predicted as soon as the Biomen showed up in the elevator that we were going to meet Pottinger in the bunker, but otherwise this was an awesome episode. Still, predictable though it might have been I liked the reveal scene just for Nolan's "nuts" reaction.
Pottinger remains just as creepy and deranged as ever, and finally Amanda learns about his spy-cams in her room from last year, Though really, last year would have been the more appropriate time to do something with that storyline. If anything it feels like they threw that in to make him look creepy, then didn't know what do with that storyline until they pay lip service to it here when they wrap up Pottinger's story arc.
I don't really like the revelation that Pottinger was Amanda's rapist. Sure, it makes sense, and many were assuming that last year when the whole thing of Amanda being raped was introduced to the show, but to me it reeks of small universe syndrome. Okay, they try to rationalize it with Pottinger apparently being bisexual and having a thing for Connor Lang which led him to assault Amanda for his own twisted reasons, but is still comes off as really unlikely, one in a million type of thing that Pottinger got assigned to Defiance and essentially succeeded Amanda as its Mayor.
So just who is Lawkeeper in Defiance now, Nolan or Berlin? Nolan's the one giving all the orders, but Berlin still wears the Lawkeeper badge as opposed to a Deputy badge.
