The Following: Season 1, Episode 10 “Guilt” (C)
The incompetence of law enforcement on this show and the inconsistency of the intelligence level of the cult members continues to be immeasurably aggravating to me. It wasn’t difficult for the FBI to discover that Claire’s location had been compromised, which calls into question both the security of their operation and the effectiveness of a hack that is so immediately visible to them. Why an armed crew of cult members could so easily mow down an FBI agent is incomprehensible to me, especially if they knew there were suspicious people roaming around the lobby. It was awfully convenient that Claire found the tracker on her clothing, and it’s a good thing that Tyson, played by David Zayas of “Dexter” fame, was excited about his shotgun that would be able to penetrate a bulletproof vest. Unfortunately he still got shot, but this show seems determined to put most of its characters into comas rather than finitely killing them, or to have them reappear in hallucinations, as has now become Paul’s role. Jacob threatening Emma so strongly after putting a pillow over Paul’s face seems out of character, and I’m not sure what’s going to become of that. Joe seems to have found a way to connect with his son through smores, though Joey should prove completely calm once his mother arrives. Instead of Claire, however, Joe got a different visitor at the end of the episode, in the form of Ryan’s ex-girlfriend. Something tells me that, no matter the strength of his cult, Joe wouldn’t have been able to pull that one off.
