This week’s Debris episode, “Earthshine,” was one of the more intense episodes this season! As Finola struggles with the information she’s learned about Bryan, Ash and Influx launch an operation to test weaponized Debris. You won’t wanna miss this one!
Wormholes | We begin in New Jersey, as a bus full of people suddenly is unable to hear anything right before the bus goes through an invisible wormhole and ends up flying through the air in a Boston scrapyard. One survivor crawls out of the wreckage and sees someone watching him and begs him for help, before we cut to Finola (Riann Steele) still being mad at Bryan (Jonathan Tucker), but is obviously unable to tell him that. Their plane lands in Boston, where they find the body of the last survivor with a bullet hole in his head and missing blood and hair. Bryan says that a similar event happened with a piece of Debris in Germany, but not only was the piece stolen, the case file has vanished from the servers.
Following the Trail | Security camera footage of the bus going through the wormhole shows a sketchy guy named Ikemann watching the whole thing. Bryan and Finola track him to a hotel in New York City, where he is seen on footage checking in with Anson Ash (Scroobius Pip), the Influx operative who’s been trailing them. As Finola calls Ferris (Anjali Jay) to tell her about the missing file, a shrill noise rings through the air on the streets outside the hotel, signaling another wormhole.
While Maddox (Norbert Leo Butz) has an argument with his wife, Julia (Jennifer Copping), about moving their disabled son to another facility, Ikemann emerges from the hotel, but kills himself before revealing anything. Ferris calls Finola to tell her that she found the file and someone is delivering it to her. A guy (Sebastian Roche) drives up to her and hands her a flash drive, but also says that Ferris knows more than she’s saying before he drives off. Hmm…
Disengage | The flash drive contains footage of two construction excavators aligned at a precise angle, which Finola compares to two radio towers at the exact angle and distance on the street where the bus was originally traveling. Meaning that the Debris is using two aligned structures to open wormholes, which only narrows it down to all of Manhattan! Maddox arrives on the scene as Bryan figures out two buildings that match the criteria, just as Ash is seen preparing the Debris overlooking the Chrysler Building. Maddox, Bryan and Finola raid three different buildings and Bryan finds one of the pieces of Debris, but Ash and one of his men escape with the other and set it up in the building that Maddox cleared.
As the agent who can disengage the Debris gets shot by an Influx agent, Finola finds Ash trying to flee the scene and follows him. He catches her off guard and tells her that she “has his eyes” before he is arrested by backup agents. With the wounded agent’s help, Bryan manages to deactivate the Debris, saving the day, but Finola is upset when Ash is immediately whisked away for interrogation. As Finola’s sister Dee Dee, sends her a video of them as children dancing to a Spanish song, Ash, while sitting in the transport van, starts singing the same song. Eerie, huh?
Debris airs Mondays at 10pm on NBC.
