“Legion” Recap: The Board Is Set, The Pieces Are Moving

“Legion” brings all the players together in “Chapter 18” as Syd is captured by Melanie, who tries to turn her against David. David interrogates Oliver with no mercy.

Down the Rabbit Hole | Syd wakes up after spending the night with David in the tent and is dragged into a mysterious hole in the ground. At the bottom is Melanie, who shows her David’s past and tries to convince her that David will eventually turn evil and destroy the world as Legion. It took two seasons, but we finally got a title drop!

The True Face | While Kerry does battle with mysterious men who attack her and Cary, David tracks down Oliver and mentally tortures him “Hard Candy” style. Oliver passes out, but not before telling David that Syd is with Farouk. Farouk has somehow possessed Melanie and makes her kiss Farouk’s dead body (Yuck!) which brings him back to life and seemingly kills Melanie.

Kill the Weak | A minotaur appears in the hole, which Cary has now been dragged into. Kerry goes down to save him and finds Syd saying that she has to stop David. The minotaur arrives to kill them and Syd and Kerry try to fight it, but the episode ends before we find out if they’ve won.

Cary finds David and the unconscious Oliver. David tells Cary that Clark is bringing a giant divining rod that when ringed, will nullify their mutant powers. Unfortunately, the newly resurrected Farouk knocks them out and throws the rod into the desert. Ruh-Roh.

“Legion” airs Tuesdays on FX.
