A Stroll Down Memory Lane
4 April 2019
Warning: Spoilers
In this penultimate episode, Hanna and the audience learn more about her past. Hanna is reunited with her birth father and unceremoniously kicks his ass. Erik has learned that UTRAX is back in operation, training a new generation of Manchurian Candidates. The operation is headed by a nefarious creature named Norris, who is Sawyer's boss.

Erik and Hanna take a stroll down memory lane, first visiting his mother. "He was always terrible" as a child, the mother will later tell Marissa after throwing her prodigal son under the bus.

Then, it is on to the lovely, little Lint Motel, room #12, where Erik and Hanna spend the night. It was in that very room fifteen years ago that Erik and Joanna spent their final night together, with Joanna singing to baby Hanna. Now, Erik attempts to ensure Hanna's safe future by placing her in the home of her birth father. But that kind of domestic bliss will not be suitable for Hanna. She kick-boxes her way out of the house and into her father's car.

While driving around Dorohoi in northeastern Romania, the characters will converge at the Lint Motel, as Marissa, Sawyer, and Erik will have a confrontation. Erik has read the eugenesis file, learning that UTRAX is in full operation with a new batch of exploited children. He plans a suicide mission to call the facility to the attention of the authorities. The kids are now on lockdown, awaiting the arrival of Erik.

Erik now finds that he has a surprising ally in Marissa, who feels guilt and responsibility for the UTRAX operation. The two characters bond over concern about saving Hanna. "We're her only chance," says Marissa plaintively.

The shootout at the Lint Motel leaves much lint floating around the environment. Sawyer is badly wounded in the blast of Erik's car. A gravely wounded Erik flees the scene with Hanna, while Marissa may be hot in pursuit.

And now, it is on to Darabani for the thrilling conclusion.
