Major spoilers are in this episode review. Read with caution!

Welcome to the second half of the two-hour premiere review! If you hadn't read my review on the first half, the link is here.

Let's dive into the second half, episode 2.

Tandy and Tyrone are trying to figure out how they used their powers. But she also has other things to worry about... the man she stabbed in the alley last night. I believe she did the right thing, I mean, he tried to rape her, but it might not seem that way especially since she fled.

Liam is caught up on the situation and tries to locate him. They find out the guy is in the ICU and will wake up at some point. There is also a detective investigating the crime scene.

The two of them need to come up with $10k to get new identities and to fled the city.

Of course, they don't have that kind of cash and try to bargain. Then Tandy tries to get her secret cash funds, but her mother and "boyfriend"/lawyer robbed her and used it to move the Roxxon case forward. This scene is explosive and raw as it shows how far these two have fallen as mother and daughter.

This leads to Tandy and Liam dressing sharp as wedding crashers.

This was the best part of the episode, or at least the most fun, as we get to see them in action. Tandy spots three potential snags, but the big one they're after is the tip money with the maid of honor. I was impressed with how well she knew the scene, and so was Liam.

He forgot she used to be one of them, and this saddens her, not ready to talk about the past with him. This leads to a sweet dance and another memory glimpse plus a glowing table scene. Like what she did to her mother, she saw his greatest hope: the two of them being happy and married.

Tandy is overwhelmed and runs off into the bathroom. She runs into the maid of honor and has a heartfelt talk about how she's always running away. I enjoyed the scene until Tandy swiped the tip money off her. She and Liam take off in the wedding car too. HOW RUDE!

Let's talk about Tyrone now.

He keeps teleporting but is unable to explain this to the coach or his parents. He missed school and then he missed basketball practice. His team suffers as a result: running suicide sprints. The coach refuses to let him take the punishment and forces Tyrone to watch his team suffer on his behalf.

Tyrone also does suicide sprints after-hours to make up for missing practice. This does not please his team though, who have no faith in Tyrone after punching out that one player. They attack him and lock him inside the locker room. He ends up taking a baseball bat and breaks the door open.

He goes after Connors again with the baseball bat but backs out last minute. Tyrone goes home and talks with his mother again, who is presenting a strong front for her son. Like Tandy, he looks into her mind but instead of hope, he sees worst fear: losing both Billy and Tyrone.

In the closing minutes, Tandy breaks up with Liam to run alone, and he ends up getting arrested by the detective after Tandy. He calls her to bail him out as he has no money left (he gave everything to her), but she turns the music louder and keeps driving out of New Orleans.

At the same time, Tyrone steals his mom's gun and barges into Connors' house. He goes after him with the gun and corners him. As he fires the bullet, his powers activate and teleport him.. in front of Tandy's moving car!!

He shoots into her car and makes her swerve straight into a tree. Her powers light up as the episode ends! What a cliffhanger and an explosive start to the show!

The second half also suffered through uneven pacing, but the mystery of the detective intrigues me and the two main leads are about to interact again. Who is this woman? She will most likely play a bigger role moving forward.

Hopefully, the pace evens out as certain scenes felt out of place or dragged on (the bedroom scenes where they prepare for bed is the prime example).

I will continue to watch the series, so expect more episode reviews in the future! Thanks for tuning in, people!
