Summary: Subscribe at  iTunes  Monroe learns Neville deserted Monroe pops a cap in the head of his next in charge – he’s getting really paranoid We get first glimpse of Georgia Federation sign on the border… what is their flag remind you of? If you take two of their "flags" and flip one and shove them together you get this: Are the writers sending a subtle message about the attitudes of the South? We see a steam-powered bus but how is that motorcycle powered? Alex beats Miles and team to the cabin and takes the uniforms but leaves a knife as a ‘signal’ to Miles Miles has a flashback 9 years after blackout and shares a moment with Alex… next we see Miles sending him to Texas as a sacrificial play to prevent a war He admits to the truth – No way M.R. can win against Texas Rachel and Aaron get jumped but Dr. Warren cooks them from the inside out… Microwave? Dr Warren makes me laugh after toasting these two thugs she smiles and says, “Come back to the house, we’ve got sandwiches” Here's her little friend: Close up: They cross into the Georgia  Federation and see a steam-powered bus and a motorcycle If you didn’t know the lights were off you’d think it was modern day Atlanta by the suit and ties and upper scale dress code and bustle Miles cleverly uses flashlights to find the nuke as it powers stuff around it… wonder if there was “stuff” that would have turned on in the city… street lamps, light bulbs in buildings etc? Alex almost bests Miles but Charlie saves the day with a shoulder shot Miles pursues Alex but gets blamed for shooting a cop Why did Miles not just grab the gun and pursue – checking the cop to see if  he lives doesn’t seem like smart strategy Charlie catches up to Alex but as they have a mind-game conversation Monroe flies two choppers over with Nuclear detonation leaflets Background posters look like stereotypical communist party propaganda – workers in the field/tractor and one with PROGRESS across the top I found a few to see if these have a similar style Progress with worker - this is the best shot I could find                    Miles faces the Madam President Kelly Foster and we find that she is ticked about Miles and Monroe Republic killing her soldiers and for something he did personally   She puts a knife in a sensitive area   He talks her into letting him go to try and find the bomb.   Miles magically finds Charlie and Nora and they follow the crowd as this is where   Why aren’t they using the flashlight method now?   Rachel gets caught snooping through stuff   She gets book of secrets   Hmmm, Radio works – strike force – detonation is a go   Alex is really hacked off   I knew Alex would get the “lucky charm” in the end…    Why wouldn’t Miles answer Monroe on the radio???   So, did miles keep the radioactive material?   Maybe the best line of the episode:  “I have tall ships in Savannah, I have aid from England, his third-world-ass is gonna mess with me?”   President Foster offers Miles 200 men + weapons to help her fight Monroe   Director Rambo says Aaron and Monroe will both get big bombshells that will blow their minds… emotional bombshells
