Citadel - Time Renders Us Enemies / Time Renders Us Enemies

After giving us the hard sell on Nadia (Priyanka Chopra Jonas) as the mole who brought down Citadel, the final two episodes clear her leaving only one real suspect. “Time Renders Us Enemies” focuses on flashbacks showing the romance between Nadia and Mason Kane (Richard Madden), the secret that broke their trust, and what she was really up to after disappearing from Citadel. All the little clues which seemed to point to her betrayal are explained away as her hiding a pregnancy from Mason.

Zorro - The Bet

“The Bet” feels like a very traditional episode of Zorro while also looping in another group of people often overlooked during the years of Zorro’s adventures. After her sister Mei (Chacha Huang) is lost in a game of poker to an unscrupulous local landowner, a young woman turns to Zorro to help. The humor from the episode comes from not knowing exactly how to contact him, and even after the pair come together, how to communicate with each other which is where Bernardo (Paco Tous) comes in.

Echo - Tuklo

Repercussions of Maya Lopez‘s (Alaqua Cox) recent actions begin to reverberate in “Tuklo” as Vickie (Thomas E. Sullivan) and his idiot white trash friends (Lindsey Moser and Erin Ownbey) attempt to sell Maya to the foot soldiers of the Kingpin (Vincent D’Onofrio) who arrive in town leading to a shoot-out in the bowling alley. “Tuklo” also brings Maya face-to-face with Bonnie (Devery Jacobs) for the first time in years, and later with the one person she never expected to ever see again. The episode’s title comes from another ancestor (Dannie McCallum) of Maya as the sole female member of the Lighthorsemen. The sequence, framed as an old silent movie, is fun but, as with all of these flashbacks, still feels very disconnected from current events.

“Bunker” gives us the ridiculous premise of a whole bunch of important VIPs allowing themselves to be locked in an underground bunker at an undisclosed location and nearly dying when the untested new technology which would release them fails. Among the group in the bunker Mackey (Olivia Swann) , Evie (Tuuli Narkle), and Blue (Mavournee Hazel). Meanwhile, JD (Todd Lasance) and DeShawn (Sean Sagar) investigate what initially appears to be an unrelated murder they then discover was the method the bunker saboteur used to get their invite.

Zorro - The Chosen One / Inheritance

Filmed in the Spanish Canary Islands, the new Zorro offers a reinterpretation of his character opening with the deaths of both Zorro and Alejandro De La Vega in the opening scenes. Our Zorro is a Native American warrior, the latest to pick up the mantle bestowed on them after being chosen. Both men fall to the corruption of California under the thumb of an unscrupulous Governor (Rodolfo Sancho). After this we meet the clever Diego de la Vega (Miguel Bernardeau) who leaves his schooling and training in Spain after learning of his father’s death to assume control of his lands and learn the truth about his murder (which has been blamed on the now dead Zorro).
