The ending here was mind-blowing. I did not see this coming at all. It truly makes this episode stand out.
Until the ending, I was ready to write this episode off. Nothing much was happening. The son is dying. They need to get equipment. Off they go to the school to gather the supplies. That's pretty much it.
But the ending is a game-changer. I haven't seen anything this shocking since LOST revealed that John Locke was confined to a wheelchair.
To have Jon Bernthal resort to sacrificing Pruitt Taylor Vince was a major twist. Really though, what else could he do? It wasn't about the kid's survival at that point, it was about his own. If he didn't sacrifice Vince, he would've died as well.
The show is excellent at portraying humanity at its brink of failure. What choices would we make in these situations? It gets you thinking. Bernthal lost his humanity in this episode. Now we'll see what kind of ramifications are in store.
