The Battle of The Outpost with the Prime Army concluded last season, but the war continues! Talon has brought in the Blackbloods to defeat the Prime Army, but now they have taken over The Outpost. A Blackblood is supervising the workers in a quarry. Garret Spears (Jake Stormoen) and Tobin (Aaron Fontaine) are working on the stone when the overseer beats on a prisoner, Sammie (James Downie). Garret goes to protect him, but is beaten in turn. Talon watches on horseback from above the quarry. Zed (Reece Ritchie) rides up on his horse and says that the prisoners have to be able to work. Captain Calkussar (Patrick Lyster) goes to help Sammie. At The Outpost, Zed talks to the leader of the Blackfists, Yobahn (Predrag Bjelac) about keeping the queen alive. If the queen dies, Zed says, the humans will revolt. The bloodied Garret looks up to see Talon stand next to them.
THE OUTPOST -- “For the Sins of Your Ancestors” -- JESSICA GREEN -- Aleksander Letic/ NBCU International.
Night, at the tavern, Garret says he can’t believe it has been thirty-nine days since the takeover. Tensions are high so Garret is told to wait. I like that we start off at a dark place and that there is no immediate escape attempt. He moves a wooden chest to chip at the wall. A sword is held above the sleeping Gwynn who suddenly wakens. Zed uses his power to have the Blackblood swordsman to stand down. A Locuri stands watch at the wall. Morning, Zed explains the situation to Talon. She then goes to the room of Gwynn watched over as a prisoner. Talon tries to say she is loyal to Gwynn and hopes to save her from the Blackfists. Janzo (Anand Desai-Barochia) consoles his brother, Munt (Adam Johnson). A Blackblood woman, Wren (Izuka Hoyle), arrives to tell Janzo that she is taking his lab and he is curious about the box that she is carrying. Janzo takes his belongings and leaves. A fellow scientist? She seems like a goofy addition to the cast. Talon is working out in her room when Janzo bursts in to stay with her.
Zed walks The Outpost, but is surrounded by Yobahn and the Blackfists. He uses his power to freeze Yoban and fights with the other Blackfist warriors. Yobahn grabs hold of Zed, but he breaks free, the swords are about to overwhelm him when Talon arrives! She makes short work of the Blackfists, crosses swords with Yobahn, but knocks him down. The remaining Blackfist aims his crossbow at Zed, but Zed uses his power to turn the weapon Yobahn! He spares his rival’s life and walks away with Talon. Zed wants to bring the Blackblood priestess, Yavalla, from the portal. Talon is suspicious about the mining which Zed explains is for a crystal. At Janzo’s lab, Wren is working on a solution, but it explodes in a pinkish puff, and she starts gagging. At the tavern, we have a painting of The Mistress, honored by her sons, Janzo and Munt. Janzo sees the Blackblood entering coughing. They argue, Munt looks at them, it must be love.
At the mines, the prisoners work tirelessly, an older man is shifting through and discovers a crystal. Yobahn walks over to examine the crystal, it looks like a purple stone is embedded in it, and pockets it. The Blackfists ride away. Wren is working in Janzo’s lab when Yobahn brings her the crystal. She puts a solution on the crystal and it is successful. Yobahn says to tell her mother, Yavalla. The prisoners return from their work shift and Garret checks on Sammie who is resting. Sammie tells them that there is a food shipment arriving in the night. The Lu-Qiri will be moved away so they will not startle the sheep. He pulls away the wooden chest to reveal that he finished the tunnel! Every character in The Outpost has some form of redemption. Garret says that they will rescue the queen! Tobin and Garret break through the tunnel carrying rope. They make their way up to the battlements. A Blackblood guard is resting against the window when he gets a surprise! The other guard is taken care of by Tobin.
They remove the wooden door bar and see Gwynn asleep. She kisses Tobin and then sees Garret. They prepare her and have her in a robe. This is tense! They lower down from the wall on the ropes, Tobin and Gwynn kiss until interrupted by Garret. A guard is knocked out and now Garret and Tobin have swords. They see the sheep brought in and rush through the closing of the portcullis! Suddenly, a Lu-Qiri drops down and slams back Tobin. Garret is dropped by the Lu-Qiri which presses his foot on his chest! Zed is watching Talon when Gwynn, Tobin, and Garret are brought in. Yobahn wants them executed. Zed orders the death of the men. Talon stops Yobahn from killing Garret by saying she will bring in Yavalla. She opens the portal, a Lu-Qiri steps out, and then Yavalla (Jaye Griffiths)! A king priestess? This is The Outpost! She goes over to Rosmund and says that there should be peace between Blackbloods and humans. Yavalla releases all of the prisoners within The Outpost. The moment between Talon telling Garret what she went through is great plus of course they kiss. I hope we get into the threat of Yavalla. It seems she is looking for a way into a paradise using the crystal. It seems too to have easy peace and paradise with The Outpost!
Four Daggers out of Five!
