Debris S01E08: Spaceman

© NBC

Finola finally finds what she's been looking for.

by Chuck Duncan

Guest Cast: Sebastian Roché

Now that's what we're talking about! Debris finally delivers on the promise of its on-going story arc, while keeping the actual debris artifacts to a minimum this week. The debris story will certainly pay off down the road but it did give us something to consider as a young woman finds herself with the ability to phase through objects -- and gruesomely, people -- and remain invisible as well. When Bryan and Finola unexpectedly encounter the woman, who escaped from a testing facility in which most of the subjects have apparently died, they find something completely shocking that no one had considered before -- the woman's powers came about because the debris was implanted under her skin. We've seen Ash and his men transport themselves after swallowing a pill, but giving people powers through an implant is a game changer.

But that is something we'll have to deal with later because the major point of this episode was Finola's father, and the question of who exactly Bryan and Finola can trust. Bryan is really beginning to question his allegiance to Maddox after being given the order to not let George Jones leave the facility alive ... and not to let Finola know they're going to kill him. This really puts Bryan in a pickle because he can't afford to lose Finola's trust. He's on thin ice with her as it is, so Maddox has really complicated his life.

On the way to the facility, Finola confides in Bryan that MI6 has an 'ambush' set up to take George from their convoy once they break him out ... which forces Bryan to admit to Finola that George isn't leaving the facility. Luckily, only one other person on his team knows of the plan, so the new plan is to make sure he believes George isn't in the facility. Bryan assures Finola that he will not let her father die. But things get more complicated when they come under fire in the facility ... but there is a silver lining as the one guy who knew of the mission is killed. Now it's easy for Bryan to lie to Maddox that the intel they had was bad and George was not in the facility.

But Finola is having a crisis as well because she knows Ferris used her sister to try to get her back to the UK, but the question is why? Ferris could have easily recalled her agent so why go through so many machinations involving Finola's sister, who managed to tell Finola what happened, to lure her back? Nothing is adding up at this point and Finola tells Bryan that they aren't going to show up at the MI6 rendezvous point either. It looks like Bryan and Finola are going rogue. Interestingly, the man awaiting them to pick up George is the same man who delivered the files to Finola, and told her that Ferris knows more than she's telling Finola. Even more intriguing is that this man seems to not be who he seems to be as he has a body on hand that looks like him, and from which he removes the face to rejuvenate the one he's currently wearing. Yikes!

But the question Finola wants to know is how her father is alive. He tells her that as far as he knows, he's been reanimated, and they went in through his eye ... which answers that particular question. Knowing that that they are tied up in a web of lies, Finola and Bryan take George to a hotel. Unfortunately, they damaged a part of his brain while re-animating him but he says he can remember the important things like how Maddox took his research away from him and that perhaps he should want Maddox dead ... but he doesn't. Knowing that Maddox wants him dead gives him something to think about, but says that everyone on Earth is going to die so it's rather irrelevant.

George tells Bryan and Finola that Influx is seeking a very dangerous and game changing piece of debris and if they get it, well, they can refer back to his statement about their deaths. He was being forced to build a device that could track the debris that emits waves that are difficult to comprehend. George fears that the Americans, Russians, Chinese or anyone could have already found the debris ... but without his device they wouldn't understand its power. But, he's done enough work to allow the government to finish his device, of that he's pretty sure. But what does the debris do? George doesn't remember.

Finola gets some alone time with George to confront him about leaving his kids alone. His work took precedence, but whatever happened in the past doesn't matter at this moment because what's going on now is an attempt to restore balance to a a world on fire, and the only ones capable of restoring this balance are the beings who created the debris. None of that matters to Finola because she's still that little girl who missed out on so much time with her father. But George says this is his chance to set things right with her and with what he's done. She's still not ready to forgive him yet. But he needs some files to build his device because he can't remember the math.

George gives Bryan a list of items he'll need to build the device, but George wants to hit the road because he doesn't feel safe. Bryan assures him that he will be safe as he'll be right outside, and Bryan sits himself in the car with eyes on George's room. George, however, slips out and goes to the office to ask for aluminum foil which he then makes into a blanket to sleep under. Finola calls Ferris and admits to her that she has George and wants to know why Maddox wants him dead. Ferris denies knowing why, and Finola lets her know that she knows of all of Ferris' lies and manipulations and how she knows Ferris would have separated her from George the minute they landed in London. She tells Ferris about the piece of debris they need to find and that she'll elaborate when she knows more but now she needs Ferris to obtain the files George needs because if she does it herself, it will set off all the red flags. Ferris says she'll see what she can do.

So, can Finola trust Ferris to play ball with her, or did she make a huge mistake in this little game she's now playing with her boss? How closely is Ferris actually working with Maddox to have known the story that George wasn't in the facility, only to learn that Finola has him? Will she spill the beans or will she play along with Finola? Hard to say at this point, but it's all made for what's probably the best episode of the season so far.

Debris S01E07: You Can Call Her Caroline

© NBC

Mind control and shadowy government shenanigans mark this week's episode.

by Chuck Duncan

Guest Cast: Benjamin Hollingworth, Evelyn Burke

This week's episode of Debris left me with more questions than answers. The largest part of the episode was about some debris with another new power -- mind control. But there were very short moments with both Maddox and Ferris that leave us scratching our heads. And why on earth did Bryan tell Maddox that Finola knows her father is alive? He wants her to trust him, then he goes and blows up that trust after it took her a bit of time to finally trust him!

Maddox's torture of Ash was a bit gruesome and introduced some new technology that seemed more plot contrivance than anything remotely based in reality. I'm not even sure how it would work. They painted some goo on Ash's feet, connected him to jumper cables, and slid some metal contacts under his scalp -- ouch -- but presumably not into his brain. Right? So how could Ash's thoughts translate to video that revealed his secrets to Maddox? I know this is sci-fi but that was really out there.

And Ferris. What's her game now, trying to lure Finola back to England by using her sister's drug addiction? At least her sister was in the position to use a childhood code they shared -- how convenient -- to let her know that there was someone in the room and she couldn't really talk. Of course that just put Finola on red alert but she had more issues to deal with.

The 'Debris of the Week' in this episode gave the person closest to it the ability to control the minds of others. At first we saw a guy with a duffel bag, presumably with the debris inside. Everything around him freezes in time except for one woman who approaches him for the bag. He seems to be fighting himself but gives it to her and she walks away, leaving the man to blow his brains out. The woman is later found without the duffel and no memory of what happened.

Bryan and Finola pay a visit to the man's brother who tells them he was obsessed with conspiracy theories and had been offered $50,000 for the debris that was found in the marsh behind the house. He also asks Finola who to tell his niece that her father is dead. Bryan spots the blue duffel bag on a table in another room, but it's never explained how it got there. Was his brother actually trying to sell the debris or dispose of it? Did the woman walk it back to Luke? Who knows. Bryan and Finola leave but a short time later Finola realizes they didn't even bother to check the marsh. Why would they leave without checking the marsh? They do return but don't find anything.

The girl, Caroline, later goes out to the marsh and sits in the water, small pieces of the debris looking like large fish scales are somehow attracted to her. Finola and Bryan are also perplexed as to why the girl's mother, who has sole custody of her daughter after the divorce, left the girl with her uncle. Her odd response, echoed by her new husband, was that 'she belongs there'. None of this sits right with them.

Returning to the house, Caroline is able to tell Finola that her uncle hurt her father and he's making her get the pieces of debris out of the marsh for him. Inside the house, Uncle Luke is having a chat with Bryan about their time in the service, but Luke is obviously affected negatively about his duty, telling Bryan how the military just wants them to be machines and now he's going to make them pay for what they did to him. It's never clearly explained what they did to him, or if he has some form of PTSD, but after the conversation Bryan and Finola leave again as if there is nothing odd going on. Then Luke gets angry with Caroline because even though she's told him there is nothing left in the marsh, he knows she's hiding it somewhere. He finally finds all of the debris hidden inside of an old diving suit in a shed.

Bryan and Finola end up back at the military base to head back home and Finola suddenly wonders how they got there. Bryan is confused for a moment too, and they both watch as a plane flies overhead then dives to the ground. Luke shows up with his bag of debris, and when Finola pulls her gun on him, he makes her point it downward. When Bryan attempts to take a shot, Luke forces Bryan to turn the gun on himself, just as he did his brother, while making Finola turn around so she's not facing either of them. Bryan is fighting Luke as best as he can and just before he pulls the trigger Luke falls to the ground, a piece of the debris buried right between his eyes. Caroline saved the day.

With Luke dead, everyone influenced by his mind control is back to normal and Caroline is reunited with her mother, who assures her she did not just leave her there. Finola also tells her that what she did was brave and saved their lives and for that she will always be indebted to the girl. Meanwhile, Maddox calls Bryan and tells him they've got a lead on George Jones, and now Bryan and Finola are off to Washington state to see what they can find. But does anyone have any trust anymore?

Debris S01E06: Supernova

© NBC

Bryan and Finola realize something is up.

by Chuck Duncan

Guest Cast: Paloma Kwiatkowski, Dylan Colton, Cardi Wong, Siddhartha Minhas

There was a lot going on in this week's episode of Debris, so let's get right in to it.

The Debris

Bryan and Finola uncover a new debris phenomena -- reverse aging. A young couple was spotted leaving a cabin and inside were the desiccated bodies of three missing elderly people. Oddly, the bodies are surrounded by an electrostatic field with enough power to charge a cell phone. When another elderly man goes missing, the team must spring into action but they still don't know exactly what they're looking for.

The young couple are now accompanied by two other young men and they are doing something that involves the young woman Hula Hooping as her partner backs away from her. But at 237 feet, she tells him to stop and she drops the hoop. Her partner says they need more people but for what we don't yet know. He then spies an old man on a bench and chats him up, learning the man feels deserted by his kids, left there to die alone. The young man says he can help so the man, Subash, goes with him.

In the woods, the young man gives Subash a piece of the debris and he instantly becomes young again. But it's not long before Bryan, Finola and the team find them. They see the two other young men going to a car but a chase ensues with Bryan tackling one of the men, asking what he's done with Caspian and the other missing elderly people. The man says he is Caspian and Bryan has to let him go or he'll die. Finola chases the other man but he suddenly drops to the ground and ages rapidly, looking like one of the corpses back at the cabin.

It's clear now that the debris reverses the aging process but only if you are within a certain radius of the debris. What the young couple, identified as Kurt and Clara, have learned is that the more people they can change, the farther away from the debris they can be so they want to revert all the old people back to their younger selves. Bryan and Finola learn that Kurt took his wife of more than 50 years from a nursing home. She was in the end stages of dementia. He just wanted her back because he didn't feel it was fair that right at the time you are just figuring out how to enjoy life, you're in no condition to enjoy it.

A scientist with the team believes he can forward the aging process again at a slower pace to the proper ages of those affected by the debris, but he needs the debris. Bryan reaches out to Kurt, and Kurt tells him that they are going to turn themselves in, but when they get to the location all they find is the debris and a walkie talkie that Kurt has rigged to pass the signal to his own. Not wanting to face their true present, Kurt and Clara walk off into the forest to die together.

On their plane, Bryan and Finola have a chat and she brings up her father, telling Bryan how he was in Greece the year before he died, and how he'd buy himself a birthday present he wanted and then give it to her to give to him, acting surprised when he opened it. But she never knew what the last gift was. After their chat, Finola called her boss Ferris who instructed Finola to feed Bryan more information about her father if he asked. Meanwhile, Bryan talks to his boss Maddox who wants to know if Finola's father was in Malta or Cyprus. Bryan reveals what Finola has told him so far, and Maddox wants more.

Later, Bryan gets a call from a team ... inside Finola's apartment going through her emails. They want more specific information from her about her father as well, on Maddox's orders. Bryan is not thrilled he's being used like this but later he tries to casually bring up Finola's father again which raises some red flags with her. She finally asks why Bryan wants to know why he's asking these questions and he finally admits to her that George is alive. She says she knows. And she knows that he and Maddox have known for some time, but why bring it up now? Bryan tells her about the security footage he saw of George at the airport with an Influx agent, and then he admits Maddox wanted him to get as much information from her as he could. But can he trust her with this information?

Before Bryan talked to Kurt about surrendering themselves, he was given something to inject into his arm. What was it? After failing to find Kurt and Clara, Finola tells Bryan she can trust him. It took her quite a while to finally reach that conclusion for herself. She also reveals to him that Ferris ordered her to feed Bryan the information about her father in Greece, and Bryan feels that Ferris is leaving a trail of breadcrumbs for Maddox to find something, but what? Finola says she can't trust Ferris, and Bryan can't trust Maddox because MI6 suspects he's been working against the coalition, most likely with the Chinese. This upsets Bryan and he says she's wrong because Maddox saved his life (from what we don't know but could it have something to do with that injection?). And then Bryan tells her that the CIA is surveilling her apartment.

Maddox

Maddox has Anson Ash in a cell after his capture in New York, and now gets to interrogate him. Ash isn't all that cooperative but he tells Maddox that the debris is meant to free the world, not entrap it. Maddox doesn't seem thrilled that Ash and Influx just want to put all of this alien technology out into the world for anyone to use. Because what could go wrong? Maddox tries to get information about George Jones, asking if Ash used the debris to reanimate George's body. And do they have him, and is he being tortured? Ash refuses to answer.

Maddox learns that several calls have come in to Ash's cell phone, all from Maine. Now they just have to find out who is calling. Meanwhile, Maddox has another secret meeting with Tarkolov who tells him they will give him what he wants later that night. Maddox is taken to a hotel where he meets a Russian woman -- obviously someone he's done business with in the past -- and she shows him some pieces of debris. He tells her to turn it on, and he drops an Inception spinny top above the debris and it hovers, spinning in place. He's happy. The woman says she knows Maddox has stronger pieces of debris than these to access communication frequencies -- huh?! -- so why does he want these pieces? Because they work, he says. She says this whole transaction method is unusual for him, working with Tarkolov, and she hopes he knows what he's doing. Maddox tells her she worries too much.

So another good episode this week that deepens the mystery with Maddox, but finally gets Bryan and Finola on the same page. The debris phenomena storyline was fine but it really took a back seat to what seems to be a deep conspiracy within both the CIA and MI6. And while Ferris may at least be within the jurisdiction of MI6, Maddox definitely seems like a lone wolf at this point, his actions definitely not sanctioned by the CIA. So what is he up to? We'll have to stay tuned to find out.
