There's really got to be some kind of mind-altering drug in the mist. That many people would not go that crazy that quickly.
I love Kevin's new teenage friend, who accidentally saved his life. "I've heard that letting people with a concussion lose consciousness is dangerous, but you looked like you needed the sleep."
And what's the story with all the dead soldiers everywhere? And why are all the houses empty? You'd think most people would just hunker down and hide at home. It's supposedly a death sentence to have to go out into the mist, but all of the main characters seem to be pretty immune to it (Kevin's Evil Twin notwithstanding). And why did that guy-- who was at first so worried about Kevin and the kid, and about being found-- suddenly decide to blow himself up with a grenade? Drugs in the mist. Got to be.
Mrs Raven and the cop are indeed on the crazy train. And their two former followers are now wishing that had gotten off at the last stop-- as they lay at the bottom of the pit being eaten by rats. What will cop do when he finds out that his son is innocent? Kill Mrs Raven instead?
And the son doesn't stand up to hardship very well, asking to be killed after being locked up for a few hours. It looked like the mom almost believed his story for a second there, but reverted to being Clint Eastwood. She is going to be
so embarrassed.
Soldier guy and junkie girl are now an item and want to go someplace green and peaceful with her stolen drug money-- but nobody has yet questioned how far the mist goes. Has the whole world succumbed to the Mist Apocalypse? Did it run out of steam (so to speak) after a few miles? Nobody has even wondered.
But it looks like Jonah is going to turn out to be the one responsible for the mist. The other soldier guy saluted him (after beating him up, strangling him into unconsciousness, and taping him to a chair-- isn't that insubordination?) and next week they're going up to Arrowhead. It would be funny if he turns out to be a mad scientist or something.
