And what was Hank, Sam’s father, making an attempt to take pictures of from his aircraft?

I used to be shocked that neither Hilde nor Matt thought to try to observe down the particular person working air site visitors management who was heard on the audio recording. Although they did not see what occurred, they could know greater than what was heard on that tape. 

Hilde Won't Stop - Home Before Dark Season 2 Episode 5

What did Richie know within the weeks earlier than he disappeared? Does it have something to do with why he is been in hiding all of this time…if he is nonetheless alive?

Whereas I am operating down that mind-set, is it attainable that Richie continues to be on the market someplace however sick from no matter brought about all of these males to grow to be sick? May he have suffered some kind of reminiscence loss much like Sylvester?

Presently, we’ve extra questions than solutions, however with 5 extra episodes left in Home Before Dark Season 2, I’ve excessive hopes for the conclusion of this thriller.

No marvel he freaked out a bit when he noticed her secretly eating out with one other man after which discovered she was contemplating shifting with out having talked to him about it.

That needed to harm, however I loved how Frank speaking via why Richie might have hidden issues from his buddies and relating it to why Kim might have saved that job interview from him. 

Maybe Kim saved quiet as a result of she wasn’t certain how Frank felt about their future. Now that they are on the identical web page and engaged, it is fantastic to see these two look so comfortable.

In different phrases, prepared or not, Journey Johnson is Erie Harbor’s sheriff, and they should cope with that.  

As proud as I used to be of Journey for not backing down from that combat, it was disappointing when she appeared to activate Hilde and the Liskos.

Everybody says to keep away from you all. That you just’re bother. I’m the one dumb sufficient to not pay attention.

It will be good if these three might co-exist fortunately, however the odds are that they will attain a breaking level quickly, and Izzy’s going to finish up within the center. 

And as a lot as I welcomed the storyline about Spoon being bullied in school, and I really like how Hilde and Donny step as much as assist their good friend, I want this thread had gone on longer. It simply felt prefer it all wrapped up a bit too neatly.

Additionally, I really like Matt and Frank bonding over that boat, however I am nonetheless involved that being on the water too typically might imply they undergo the identical destiny as the boys in that photograph.

I want they’d inform us extra about how these males died. Perhaps we’ll be taught extra within the subsequent episode.
