S2 E2: Two Birds, Many Stones
The second episode of the second season. We start out with Isaac still "taking care" of Aunt Martha, but Isaac gets out of it after doing a sloppy job and enters EVE. Michael mentions that someone died (Mother Sarah) in real life BECAUSE of the game, which has become an issue. Isaac meets Rebekah in the game because he has a massive crush on her, although it *seems* as if Rebekah hates him. They get caught sneaking around Solomon's hideout, and eventually he makes a visit in real life to see Leah's for some reason while Leah's boyfriend, Tommy, is there. Makes no sense why Isaac would go to see her while her new boyfriend was there, but I suppose, you can't question a scripted series! There's an inevitable fight between Isaac and Tommy. Isaac enters back in the game to find Arachnid depressed, and the episode ends.
Overall, this was a slower episode than the previous two, which is okay considering all the action that went down in the previous two episodes. Performance wise, Isaac impressed me a lot in this episode. One of his best performances to date in the series, and you can tell Jesse is beginning to get more comfortable playing the character of Isaac. Same with Abraham/Arachnid, Larry continues to get better playing his role, although we didn't see him much in this episode. Jackie's character, Aunt Martha, is good... but not convincing. This is Kandis (Rebekah)'s best performance to date. It wasn't terribly cringe when she was on camera like it was the prior times she has been. I'd say it was Carina (Leah)'s best to date as well, although her role was limited. When she's been on camera before, she hasn't been natural it seems and her acting has felt forced. It felt more natural in this episode! On the flip side, the actor of Tommy was... to be brutally honest... bad. It helps that Jesse had an excellent performance to make the scene more watchable. Nonetheless, it was a decent episode, nothing special. Rating: 8.3/10.
