It proves to be an all too apt frame, as thats exactly what happens to two of Undergrounds most beloved characters. Yes, Pearly Mae and Zeke sadly meet their ends in this episode, after being double crossed and abandoned by people they trusted. Its a grim development, and at the midway point of the season, it reflects a central theme of the show. Underground has honed in on questions of honor and loyalty among the enslaved. Are they obliged to help each other And if so, at what point does that obligation no longer apply We faced lighter versions of these questions in last weeks episode, when Sam divulged the groups escape plan to Ernestine. Although he was unsure of what shed do with the information, he decided to tell her because it would help curry favor. Latest News from Vulture Yesterday at 1133 p.

American Crime Season 3 Episode 8 Recap Finale The previous episode of American Crime picks up where the previous weeks arguments between Claire Coates. After Tom Macon places a 1,0. August and Ben set out to find them. It isnt long before theyve tracked their path, and the groups footprints suggest two things Theyre headed toward a set location, and theres infighting within the ranks. We quickly learn why. Moses is angry at Noah for abandoning their plan and leaving early with Rosalee. He blames the hasty departure for Pearly Maes capture. Adding to the strife, Cato uses Ernestines intel about the Atlanta bound train to seize a leadership role in the group. Noah predictably objects, but when he steps to Cato to fight, Zeke jumps in as a barrier. Lines of allegiance are being drawn. Whats unclear, though, is how long theyll last. Moses suggests they find Jack, the vendor whom he approached a few episodes ago to procure paper and a pencil for their forged freedom papers. Moses thinks Jack will help them find their way to the train. While Moses, Cato, and Noah confer with him, August and Ben catch up, surrounding Jacks house and attempting to flush them out with gunshots. Moments later, other slave catchers ambush August theyre angry about the bounty he stole from them in the pilot. In tonights episode of Game of Thrones, we welcome Jon Snow back to the land of living and watch Bran dip into the past, in the aptly named Oathbreaker.

In the end, the three factions of white men Jack, August and Ben, and the three slave catchers who attacked August are distracted by the chaos theyve created. In the fray, the escapees slip away unharmed. They split up as they hightail it Cato with Zeke, Rosalee with Moses and Boo, and Noah with Henry. As they flee, Rosalee gets briefly separated from Moses and happens upon August. When he tries that hide you in my wagon shtick on her, she realizes hes a catcher just in time to run, but not before unwittingly giving up the groups plan to board the train.

As the team of three catchers approaches, Cato shoots Zeke in the leg and leaves him to fend for himself. Its been clear for weeks that Cato has no loyalties and believes himself to be the smartest of the escapees, so its no surprise that he chooses to sacrifice Zeke. That doesnt make it any less disappointing, though. After Cato secured the groups freedom in Firefly, it couldve been easy to assume that he cared more about them than he lets on. This betrayal suggests that hes just using the rest of the group as a shield of sorts, providing himself cover. That survival instinct has gotten him far, but his conscience has become as disfigured as his face in the process. In the tremendous sequence that follows, Zeke endures multiple bullets and an axe wound from the surrounding catchers. Its a quiet, brutal fight scene, and its troubling to watch. Zekes strength was an irreplaceable asset to the group, and one theyll surely miss as they push forward. August is wise enough and immoral enough to use that strength to his advantage. When he and Ben stumble on Zeke singlehandedly taking all the catchers down, he doesnt intervene Zeke is wiping out the competition for him. Ben, still struggling to accept the family business, mutters that they shouldve helped. Ben has been a loyal son so far, but its clear he also remembers Jays parting words to him about the good and evil wolves The one that survives is the one we feed. This journey is a proving ground for August and Ben. It may be too late for Ben to appeal to Augusts better nature, but Ben still prizes honor. A father son split could be looming. Back on the Macon plantation, Ernestine can no longer afford to acknowledge right and wrong. Her sole objective is making sure Rosalee wont be caught  and Pearly Mae is just as insistent about securing Boos freedom. If weve learned anything in the past few weeks, though, its that Ernestine will always win in a battle of wits. First, she tries to advise Pearly Mae how to finesse Tom. But after Suzanna later comes to Pearly Mae, offering freedom papers for herself and Boo if she gives up the whereabouts of Moses and the others, any concept of loyalty goes out the window. Ernestine knows theres no trumping the promise of freedom, so she poisons Pearly Mae before she can confess. Then, to make it look like an accident, she slits her wrist. Its another ruthless glimpse at what Ernestine has likely had to do to live in the relative comfort of the house. Who knows what else shes done This dilemma is adeptly presented within the episode, mirroring the treachery Cato deployed for his own self preservation. As Underground shows, the pursuit of freedom isnt purely heroic. Its callous and duplicitous by necessity if the choice is between survival and death, is it really even a choice Noah and Rosalee have yet to learn that lesson. With August and Ben on their heels at the station, they sacrifice their spots on the train to ensure that Moses and Boo make it on board. Its an incredibly selfless act, but how long will it be until they face tougher choices What will happen when their moral code is challenged by an impossible decision On this journey to freedom, no one can make it through unscathed. Other Notes Poor Sam misses another opportunity to secure his own freedom. Hes basically the Aaron Burr to Noahs Alexander Hamilton. When Tom gives him a gun and turns his back, Sam throws away his shot. How much longer will he wait for it At two key moments in this episode, Ernestine discovers Pearly Maes literacy and Noah and Cato discover Mosess illiteracy. Pearly Maes literacy certainly factors into Ernestines decision to poison her, since she wouldve been her harder to fool. Mosess inability made him less of an asset to the escapees its good he got away with Boo before Cato had the chance to slough them off like dead weight. This episode really benefitted from the absence of a Hawkes family story line. Though I suspect the abolitionist subplot will soon intersect with our escapees mission, their story has been much less interesting to follow that the main action. Suzanna and Pearly Mae were half sisters That makes their negotiation scene all the more chilling. Its no surprise that Suzanna talks about children as legacy. That idea is underscored through every parent child relationship in the series. Underground does great things with silence. When Zeke offers Boo half a peach and she touches his face, its as powerful as any scene with dialogue. Everyone seems to know Toms fatal flaw He needs to be liked.
