We start this episode the next day, where Jake returns a
notebook he took from the girl’s house and Lucy has Calvin captive. Jake shows
Martin a photo with the girl’s grandfather, Carl and Calvin’s mom together.
Martin inquires about this and gets Francine’s license plate from the photo.
Meanwhile, Amelia is still reeling from being snatched away and warns that “they”
are coming. Lucy heavily harms Calvin, attempting to force out her daughter’s
location. Calvin bears this and while Lucy gets him painkillers, he escapes his
bonds at points a gun at her.
Martin tries to find Lucy and has Jake stay at Trevor’s
workplace. Calvin tells Lucy why he needs Amelia and the two broker a deal:
trade Amelia for Jake. Lucy picks up Jake, and goes to the specified location,
but is stopped by Martin. The two argue at first, but reconcile and head to
where Amelia was kept. They find Francine shot dead, no Amelia and a distraught
Calvin. Here it is implied that she was taken by Aster Corps.
In the Arizona desert, Guillermo goes hiking in order to
reconnect with God and clear his head. He comes across a sad, wounded former
doctor, who is reeling in a cave. The two talk and it is revealed that the
doctor feels bad, because he let a boy die, due to drinking the night before
the surgery. Guillermo convinces him that he has saved the lives of many
children and that he shouldn’t focus on this one mistake. He returns the man to
his family and disappears.
“Broken” showed us the tipping point of Lucy’s emotions and
the subsequent fallout of her impulsive actions. After many absent episodes,
one of the principal antagonists of the show, Aster Corps, has most likely made
a reappearance, dragging Martin and Lucy farther away from Amelia. They are all
emotionally and in Calvin’s case, physically broken. On top of all that, Guillermo
is closing in to complicate matters. This episode wasn’t everything I hoped it
would be, but is showed us different sides of the characters we have come to
know.
