Zo'or is using the ability to claim a human body as his own for short periods to experience the thrill of violence. However, his next possession may cost him his life.
After early signs that their alliance was fracturing, Sandoval and Zo'or seem to be close again, with the FBI agent helping the Taelon in his insane pursuit, partly because he's almost hoping Zo'or will die. However, once Da'an points out that Sandoval's power base would vanish along with Zo'or, he changes his perspective.
Once again there are some interesting scenes in this episode, but the concept of Zo'or being able to just take a comatose body and bend it to his will is horrible. It will be interestng to see how he uses this ability in the future, if he tries it again. One thing I don't understand is his desire to kill Hubble, however, who hasn't been particularly vocally anti-Taelon. Obviously just thinks him to look a bit hideous or something.
Once again it seems the Resistance do all the hard work and unmask Zo'or as the culprit, but are unable to prove anything. All they do is save the abused people from the Taelons rather than taking a more active role in opposing them. It's way past time they made a bid to show all the humans they mean business.
Having said all that, this is still a particularly frantic episode with plenty going on and concludes with a couple of scenes that may not bode well for the Resistance...
