Things we learned/new questions
-How deep does this Trask character go? Is he higher up on the ladder of the Intitiative or is he just the same as Helen? What will he do when he figures out that the Graysons killed Helen?
-No doubt that Emily will figure out a way to get proof that the Graysons killed Helen and use that against the Graysons.
-Now that Amanda’s foster brother is back in town, no doubt it will create problems with Emily.
-Will Jack ever forgive Emily for what she did? How far will things go before Emily tells Jack the complete truth?
-Will Padma go through with the trade with Carrion? What will happen if they do get the program?
