geebsTV commentary:
Runaways- Hmm, answers and new alliances. So the standoff from last ends pretty quickly with Jonah showing up. Karolina holds him off while the rest of the gang gets away, and is captured. But, the gang manages to break her out of the church, but more on that later.
So, the parents have a pow wow sans Leslie, wherein Tina reveals that it was Leslie who "took care" of the Hernandezes. Later, Leslie decides to meet with the rest of the parents, save the Wilders, who refuse to show because they seem to want to handle their own business, having lost all trust in Leslie. She reveals to them the Hernandezes weren't her only sin. When Amy was looking around her mom's servers, she accidentally found Pride stuff, which alerted Jonah.
Leslie turns out to be the one who warned Amy- Jonah told Leslie he was just going to talk, but she didn't trust him, so she warned Amy. But then Amy died, and she kept quiet about it. Anyways, the Yorkes think they can study the serum and figure out how to kill Jonah. And Leslie and the other non-Wilder parents are all in for ousting Jonah for attack their kids (and killing one of them in Amy!) Leslie in fact was the one who helped engineer Karolina's escape, so she seems on the up and up
Meanwhile, Jonah and Frank have teamed up, bonding over their shared love for their daughter. I know some people complain the show focuses more on the parents than it should, but it would've been nice to have some more scenes showing Frank being Karolina's dad. Because it seemed like they didn't even really interact until their was a question of her parentage. And if he's going to be all, "She may not actually be my daughter, but I raised her!" we shoulda seen something signifying such a relationship.
The Wilders possibly use their police connections to frame the rest of the kids for Destiny's murder and claim they kidnapped Molly. So now the kids (and Old Lace) are on the run. Well, they had already decided to run, but now there's more pressure on them.
Anyways, as I said earlier, Leslie secretly helped the kids rescue Karolina (secret as in they don't know she had helped them). BUT! After their escape we see Jonah get a text from an unknown number saying, "Mission accomplished!" And if it was Leslie, there's no reason for it to be an unknown number. So there could be a mole in the group.
Now in the comics, Alex was a secret bad guy, but I don't think he's the mole here. Particularly since he went to his Dad's rival and exchanged something (we don't know what) in exchange for lots of cash. So I doubt he would be making deals with this guy and Jonah. Karolina seems to be the obvious choice, since she was captured, maybe Jonah did something to her to be a secret mole.
I guess the other choice is possibly Chase? After all, his dad is still in a coma, and there was this weird scene where he uses his X-ray goggles to see if there were any more guards coming, and he sees a person just bursting with bright light (which the audience knows is Jonah), and he's just all, "That's weird!" but doesn't elaborate further to Molly and Karolina. Which he saw Jonah glow during the fight earlier, so you'd think instead of thinking that was odd and dismissing it, he'd be all, "Woah, Jonah might be coming!"
Anyways, thanks to Nico, whom Chase confided that he likes Gert, those two dumb kids finally go forward. Nico manages to get through to Gert's self-depreciative ass thinking Chase could never like her and informing Gert that Chase does indeed like her. And Nico and Karolina share another kiss, with Nico spooning Karolina later. So nice to see that's on too!
