Marvel's Cloak and Dagger 2x02 "White Lines" Episode Review

Major Spoilers are included in this episode review. Please read with caution.

Part one review of the season two premiere is here.

Going off the cliffhanger where Tandy and Tyrone fail to stop all those people from getting killed, they call Detective O’Reilly who is not pleased to see them involved. She decides to take over and lectures the kids again for being superheroes. However, Tandy and Tyrone hide a clue from the detective, clearly not ready to listen.

Tyrone visits his girlfriend’s aunt for answers. Afterwards, his girlfriend Evita arrives to visit her aunt. The argument between them is surreal and does not paint Tyrone in a bright light. Evita did make good points. His powers could’ve gave her reassurance but instead, he chose to keep them a secret, thus making Evita worry for no reason (8 months!).

Tyrone and Evita are a thing, which is an interesting complication. Tandy and Tyrone are clearly going to get together at some point. Right? I hope I’m right.

Tandy finds out the woman from part-one, Mikayla, went missing. She never returned home last night after Tandy’s outburst. This investigation into the disappearance leads Tandy to an administrator who shows her around an African-American neighborhood. Here, she learns about all the girls’ disappearances involving private ambulances. Tandy also sees her father, hallucination, and this tells me her issues aren’t over yet.

Detective O’Reilly is roped into the situation, and the two of them track down the driver who drugged Mikayla into an overdose, who wound up in the hospital. This time though, O’Reilly welcomes Tandy’s assistance, and acts more vigilante than cop. Yes, a twist is coming.

O’Reilly is split into two. The cliffhanger from season one didn’t transform O’Reilly into Mayhem… it literally created her in O’Reilly’s likeliness. This is going to complicate the entire season, but I’m so excited to see how this plays out. Overall, the season two premiere is 100x stronger than first season. The fresh spin on this show is mind-blowing.
